Terms & Conditions
The rules and guidelines governing your use of our services
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing our website (revelationfoods.com), placing an order, or using any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our services.
These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Customer," "you," or "your") and Genesis Foods ("we," "us," or "our"), a food business operating in Entebbe, Uganda.
Definitions
Ordering Process
- You must be at least 16 years old to place an order. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must place the order on your behalf.
- All orders are subject to acceptance by us. Submitting an order does not guarantee fulfilment — we may decline an order for any reason, including unavailability of items, suspicious activity, or circumstances beyond our control.
- You are responsible for providing accurate delivery information (name, phone number, location). We are not liable for failed deliveries caused by incorrect information.
- Menu items, prices, and availability may change without prior notice. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate any changes before you order.
- Images on our website and menu are for illustrative purposes only. Actual appearance and portion sizes may vary slightly.
Pricing & Payment
- All prices are displayed in Ugandan Shillings (UGX) and include applicable taxes.
- The total price shown at checkout includes the cost of food items, delivery fee (if applicable), and any applicable discounts.
- Delivery fees are calculated based on distance and are non-refundable once the order has been dispatched.
- Promotional discounts and offers are subject to specific terms and may be withdrawn or modified at any time without prior notice.
- We reserve the right to correct pricing errors. If a price is displayed incorrectly, we will notify you and offer the option to proceed at the correct price or cancel the order.
Mobile Money Payments
Payment for all orders is processed via Mobile Money. By using this payment method, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
- You must send the exact amount specified at checkout. Underpayment will delay your order; overpayment will be treated as a tip unless you request a refund.
- You must provide a valid Transaction ID from your Mobile Money payment notification. We use this solely to verify your payment.
- Payment is processed by your telecom provider (MTN or Airtel), not by Genesis Foods. We do not have access to your Mobile Money account, PIN, or balance.
- An order is not confirmed until we have verified your payment. This typically happens within a few minutes of receiving your WhatsApp message.
- If your payment fails or is reversed by the telecom provider, your order will be automatically cancelled and you will be notified.
Delivery Terms
Pickup Orders
- Pickup orders must be collected from our location at Kitooro Opp Main Market, Entebbe.
- We will notify you (via WhatsApp or call) when your order is ready. Typical preparation time is 10–20 minutes after payment confirmation.
- You must collect your order within 60 minutes of being notified. After this time, we cannot guarantee food quality and may dispose of the order without refund.
- When collecting, please provide your order number or the name used to place the order.
Cancellation & Refunds
| Timing | Cancellation | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Before preparation starts | Full refund | 100% via Mobile Money |
| After preparation starts | Partial / No refund | At our discretion |
| After dispatch (delivery) | Not accepted | No refund available |
| Quality issue reported | Replacement or refund | Must report within 30 min |
- To request a cancellation, contact us immediately via WhatsApp or phone. Delays in notification may affect your eligibility for a refund.
- Refunds are processed via the same Mobile Money number used for payment and may take 1–3 business days to reflect.
- Delivery fees are non-refundable for cancelled orders where preparation has already begun.
Food Quality & Allergens
- We prepare all food in a hygienic, certified kitchen and follow all applicable food safety regulations in Uganda.
- While we take every precaution, our kitchen handles common allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, and seafood. We cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.
- If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, you must inform us when placing your order (use the "Order Notes" field or tell us via WhatsApp). We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.
- If you receive an incorrect or unsatisfactory order, contact us within 30 minutes of delivery or pickup with a photo of the issue. We will assess and offer a replacement, credit, or refund at our discretion.
WhatsApp Orders
- Orders placed via WhatsApp are subject to the same terms as orders placed through our website.
- WhatsApp conversations related to orders are considered part of the order record and may be referenced for dispute resolution.
- We are not responsible for messages lost, delayed, or undelivered due to WhatsApp or network issues. If you don't receive a confirmation within 10 minutes of sending your order, please call us.
- Pre-filled order messages generated by our website are for your convenience. You are responsible for verifying the contents before sending.
