Effective Date: October 29, 2024

Welcome to the domain of HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. ("we," "us," "our"), a culinary service provider specializing in the meticulous preparation, packaging, and delivery of halal-compliant meals. By engaging with our services, including but not limited to the ordering, receipt, and consumption of our meals, you, the customer, acknowledge and agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). These Terms serve not merely as guidelines, but as a binding agreement that delineates your rights and obligations when utilizing our offerings.

1. Scope of Services
   Our enterprise is dedicated to the creation and distribution of prepared meals that meet halal dietary standards. It is imperative to understand that while we strive to adhere to a predetermined delivery schedule, we cannot, under any circumstances, guarantee precise delivery times. The timelines provided during the ordering process are estimations based upon our operational capacity and logistical arrangements, which are subject to a myriad of variables including but not limited to third-party logistical challenges, environmental factors, and other unforeseen disruptions. Therefore, customers are advised to treat these timelines as general expectations rather than guaranteed commitments.
2. Customer Eligibility
   Our services are available to any individual possessing the legal capacity to authorize payments and receive deliveries at specified locations. There exists no minimum age requirement or eligibility threshold, provided the customer is capable of completing the transaction processes involved in ordering meals, authorizing payments, and being present to receive the ordered products at the designated delivery point. By placing an order, you affirm your eligibility to engage in these transactions and assume full responsibility for any consequences arising from your engagement with our services.
3. Orders, Payments, and Refund Policies
   Customers are afforded the convenience of placing orders through our user-friendly website, utilizing secure payment methods including credit and debit cards. It is essential to note that order cancellations are permissible only if initiated more than forty-eight hours prior to the established cutoff date, which occurs three days before the intended delivery. For modifications to existing orders, customers may exercise the option to amend their selections through our website interface, or alternatively, they may reach out to our support team via the website chat function or at support@halalmeals.ca. Refund requests are subject to a review process and are not guaranteed. Each request for a refund will undergo scrutiny based on various factors including product condition and customer circumstances, with final approval resting solely with our support team.
4. Delivery Practices and Service Area Limitations
   HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. proudly serves a broad geographic area encompassing various regions across Ontario, which includes but is not limited to urban centers such as the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, Hamilton, and several others. Our delivery operations are managed through a diverse logistics network, encompassing drivers, couriers, commercial shippers, and other delivery service providers. However, we reserve the unequivocal right to refuse or cancel orders destined for certain locations if we determine, in our sole discretion, that fulfilling such orders poses a risk to our business operations or customer safety. Additionally, we retain the prerogative to suspend delivery services to particular regions at any given time, contingent upon factors affecting the safety and reliability of service. While we endeavor to honor the delivery dates established during the order process, we cannot assume responsibility for delays attributable to third-party logistics or external factors such as adverse weather conditions or disturbances that might impede timely delivery. Customers are expected to be available to accept their deliveries, and we disclaim any liability for products left outside a customer's premises, particularly if such circumstances arise due to a lack of recipient presence.
5. Product Information, Ingredient Transparency, and Allergen Awareness
   In our commitment to transparency, we provide detailed information regarding the ingredients used in our meals, including potential allergens when such information is available. However, customers should be cognizant of the fact that these ingredients are subject to change based on various factors such as ingredient availability and supplier modifications. Despite our stringent quality control measures, we do not provide guarantees against contamination or the presence of allergens in our meals, as the complexities of food preparation can lead to inadvertent cross-contact. Consequently, customers are encouraged to exercise caution and consult with their healthcare providers if they possess specific dietary restrictions or allergies prior to consuming our products.
6. Subscription Services and Terms
   Our subscription service, designed to provide a seamless meal delivery experience, operates on a weekly basis. Customers availing themselves of this service retain the flexibility to skip upcoming orders, pause their subscriptions, or cancel entirely at their discretion. While we may offer incentives such as reduced pricing for subscription plans, these benefits are not assured and may fluctuate based on promotional campaigns or business considerations. All changes to subscription status must adhere to the same cancellation and modification guidelines as outlined for standard orders.
7. User Conduct and Anti-Fraud Provisions
   HalalMeals Ready Foods, Ltd. actively maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding fraudulent activities, which encompasses any form of card fraud, order manipulation, return abuse, or any behavior that constitutes harassment or misconduct towards our staff members. We reserve the right to monitor and investigate any activities that threaten the integrity of our services or the well-being of our personnel. Any violations of this policy may result in the immediate termination of service and potential legal action.
