PAYMENT POLICY
Payments. Your credit/debit card will be charged for your order the week before your order is delivered. Payments must be received before a posted order deadline for a given delivery. Delivery dates and times and any associated delivery charges will be shown as you proceed through the ordering process. Rivas Meals is unable to accept checking account transactions, paper checks, food stamps, or third-party coupons.

You may pause, change or cancel your recurring order anytime. Changes or cancellation will be effective for the current billing cycle; you will be notified of the effective date when making changes.
Invalid Payment Methods. Rivas Meals will not process orders that attempt to use an incorrect, expired, or over-limit cards. We will make our best efforts to contact you if this occurs. However, in the event such an order is processed, Rivas Meals reserves the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed to it.

Other Refund Requests. Cancellation of an order after the order deadline (for any reason other than dissatisfaction with our product) is not eligible for a refund. Where possible, we will refund your money using the same method you originally used to pay for your purchase.
DELIVERY POLICY
Locations. We deliver to Pick up Spots (coming soon) and Direct-to-You (each as designated on our Sites). When you place an order, you will be asked to choose between the two options. Pickup Spots are commercial refrigerators at designated drop-off locations based on the schedule posted. If you choose a Pickup Spot, your order will be delivered to the location you choose during check-out, and it will be available for pick up based on the business hours of the drop-off location. Please make sure to confirm the hours that the drop-off location is open. If you choose Direct-to-You, you will be required to choose the address where orders are delivered. To maintain the freshness and quality of foods delivered to you, we place geographic limitations on where orders may be delivered. If your desired address for a Direct-to-You order is outside our geographic limits, you will be unable to submit an order for delivery to such address.
Delivery Changes. In the case of inclement weather or unforeseen delivery complications, it may be necessary to make adjustments to our delivery schedule and/or the drop-off locations. If there will be a significant delay, a customer service representative may contact you to let you know the status of your delivery time and/or location. We will deliver your order as quickly as possible when the conditions permit.
Food Safety. Rivas Meals uses high quality transport and storage solutions to maintain the quality and integrity of your products. To maintain the integrity of products after delivery, we recommend that you immediately refrigerate or freeze perishable items. We label products with a "use by" date for guidance, but there are many factors out of our control that influence freshness, and you as the consumer are the ultimate arbiter of freshness.
Discarding Orders. For orders delivered to Pickup Spots, we will discard an order if it is unopened and has not been picked up by the "use by" date posted on the package. At our discretion we may discard other items stored in our refrigerators if they effect the cleanliness of the refrigerator. If we discard an order due to expiration or cleanliness concerns, we are not required to issue a refund.

Your payment information is transmitted using the strongest available industry standard technologies and is stored using one of the most advanced encryption methods available. Your payment information is NOT accessible to our employees, contractors, agents or officers.
