All products are subject to availability.

2. Food Product Notice

For food safety, quality control, and product integrity reasons, we do not accept returns or exchanges after purchase or delivery.

3. Final Sale Policy

Resolution

Any resolution is at the sole discretion of Katye Fire™ except where required by law.

4. Order Accuracy

Customers are responsible for reviewing all order details before completing checkout, including product selected, size selected, quantity selected, shipping address, billing address, email address, phone number, shipping method, and total order amount.

Katye Fire™ is not responsible for delays, delivery issues, lost packages, failed delivery attempts, or returned packages caused by incorrect or incomplete customer-provided shipping information.

5. Shipping

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout.

Katye Fire™ ships orders using available shipping carriers and services selected during fulfillment. All shipped orders include tracking.

Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed unless a carrier-specific guaranteed service is purchased and confirmed.

Katye Fire™ is not responsible for carrier delays, weather delays, incorrect addresses, failed delivery attempts, refusal of delivery, or issues outside of our control after the order has been accepted by the shipping carrier.

6. Proof of Delivery and Signature Confirmation

To help protect both the customer and the business, Katye Fire™ may ship orders with tracking, proof of delivery, and/or signature confirmation.

Orders may require a signature at delivery, especially for higher-value orders, apartment deliveries, business deliveries, shared mailrooms, reshipments, or addresses with delivery concerns.

If a shipment shows as delivered by the carrier, Katye Fire™ will rely on the carrier’s tracking record, delivery scan, signature confirmation, GPS scan, or proof-of-delivery record as evidence of delivery.

Customers are responsible for providing a safe and secure delivery location.

7. Lost, Stolen, or Misdelivered Packages

All shipped orders include tracking.

If carrier tracking shows that an order was delivered, Katye Fire™ will rely on the carrier tracking record, delivery scan, GPS scan, proof-of-delivery record, or signature confirmation as evidence of delivery.

Katye Fire™ is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, misplaced, removed, or damaged after delivery.

If a customer believes a package was misdelivered or stolen, the customer should:

  • check the full delivery area
  • check with household members
  • check with neighbors
  • check with front desk, leasing office, mailroom, or building staff if applicable
  • contact the shipping carrier directly
  • file a carrier claim when applicable
  • contact Katye Fire™ with the order number, tracking number, and carrier claim number

Carrier claim support

Katye Fire™ may assist with reasonable carrier documentation, but refund, replacement, credit, or reshipment is not guaranteed.

8. Damaged Orders

If an order arrives damaged, the customer must contact Katye Fire™ within 48 hours of delivery at orders@katyefire.com.

The customer must not discard the product, remaining contents, container, shipping box, filler, label, or packaging until the claim has been reviewed and closed.

Katye Fire™ may require the customer to return the damaged product, remaining contents, container, and original packaging for inspection before any resolution is approved.

If a return is requested, the customer must follow the return instructions provided by Katye Fire™. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.

Because these are food products, returned items cannot be resold.

Submitting a damaged order claim does not guarantee a refund, replacement, credit, or reshipment. Claims must be reviewed and approved by Katye Fire™.

Any approved resolution is at the sole discretion of Katye Fire™ and may include replacement, store credit, partial resolution, carrier claim support, or another resolution required by law.

The customer must provide

  • order number
  • full name
  • email used at checkout
  • delivery date
  • tracking number
  • photos of the damaged product
  • photos of the shipping box or mailer
  • photos of the packing material or filler
  • photos of the shipping label
  • photos showing whether the seal, lid, bottle, pouch, or container was damaged
  • description of the issue

Claims may be denied if

  • the product was discarded
  • the product was used or consumed
  • most or all contents are missing
  • the container, seal, lid, pouch, or packaging is unavailable
  • the shipping box or label is unavailable
  • photos are not provided
  • the claim is submitted after 48 hours
  • the product is not returned when requested
  • the damage appears to have occurred after delivery
  • the carrier tracking shows delivery and there is no evidence of carrier damage

Product Contents Required for Review

For damaged-product claims, the product must be preserved with the remaining contents available for review.

Katye Fire™ may request the product to be weighed, photographed, or returned for inspection.

If the product has been substantially used, consumed, emptied, discarded, altered, or is no longer available for review, the claim may be denied.

9. Allergens and Food Sensitivities

Customers are responsible for reviewing product information before purchasing and consuming.

Katye Fire™ products may be produced, handled, stored, or packaged in environments where common allergens may be present.

If you have a food allergy, sensitivity, dietary restriction, or medical concern, do not use the product unless you are certain it is safe for you.

Katye Fire™ is not responsible for allergic reactions, sensitivities, misuse, or failure to review product information.

10. Product Images and Descriptions

We make reasonable efforts to display product images, labels, descriptions, sizes, and colors accurately. However, packaging, label design, seasoning appearance, color, fill level, and product presentation may vary slightly.

Product photos may include serving suggestions or styled food images. Serving items, plates, props, and food shown in images are not included unless specifically stated.

11. Pricing and Availability

Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and may change at any time.

Katye Fire™ reserves the right to update product pricing, update shipping rates, correct errors, discontinue products, limit quantities, or cancel orders due to inventory issues, fraud risk, technical errors, or pricing mistakes.

12. Payment

Payments are processed through approved third-party payment processors.

Katye Fire™ does not store full credit card numbers on the website.

Orders are not considered accepted until payment is successfully authorized and the order is confirmed.

13. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks

By placing an order, the customer agrees to contact Katye Fire™ first regarding any order issue, shipping concern, delivery concern, damaged product claim, or customer service question.

Katye Fire™ reserves the right to dispute chargebacks, payment reversals, refund claims, and payment disputes using:

  • order confirmation
  • checkout records
  • customer agreement to final sale terms
  • product page final sale notice
  • cart final sale notice
  • policy pages in effect at the time of purchase
  • customer communications
  • shipping address
  • tracking number
  • carrier delivery scan
  • proof of delivery
  • signature confirmation, if applicable
  • delivery confirmation records
  • photos or documentation submitted by the customer
  • evidence that the product was not returned when requested

Chargeback evidence

Refund policy, customer communications, return tracking, and delivery/order records may be used as relevant evidence when responding to chargebacks and inquiries.

14. Refunds

Because Katye Fire™ products are consumable food items, refunds, returns, exchanges, credits, replacements, and cancellations are not provided for final sale products except where required by law or approved solely at our discretion.

Refund, return, exchange, credit, replacement, and cancellation requests are reviewed under the final sale, damaged order, delivery, and customer responsibility terms listed on this page.

15. Cancellations

Orders begin processing quickly after purchase. Cancellations are not guaranteed.

Once an order has been processed, packed, labeled, shipped, fulfilled, handed to a carrier, or prepared for pickup, it cannot be canceled.

If a customer requests cancellation before processing begins, Katye Fire™ may review the request at its sole discretion.

Submitting a cancellation request does not guarantee cancellation.

16. Local Pickup, If Offered

If local pickup is offered, customers must pick up orders during the approved pickup window and provide confirmation of receipt when requested.

Local pickup orders are final sale once prepared or marked ready for pickup.

17. Privacy

Katye Fire™ respects customer privacy. We collect customer information only as needed to process orders, accept payment, ship products, provide customer service, send order updates, comply with legal requirements, help prevent fraud, and improve the customer experience.

We do not sell customer personal information.

Customer information may be shared only with trusted service providers necessary to operate the business, such as payment processors, shipping carriers, website providers, email providers, fraud prevention tools, tax/compliance providers, and business operations systems.

18. Email and Marketing Communications

Customers may receive transactional emails related to orders, shipping, delivery, customer service, or account activity.

Marketing emails or promotions may be sent only when allowed by law and customer consent settings.

Customers may unsubscribe from marketing emails where applicable.
