Abigale, imagine we draft a pizza delivery contract where the “late delivery” clause is a right to order *extra* slices instead of a penalty. I’ve already sketched the legal maze—want to help me map the loophole for a lifetime of free pizza?

Here’s a lightweight draft you can tweak on the fly—just copy, tweak, and sign. --- **Pizza Delivery Agreement** **1. Parties** **Deliverer**: [Pizza Parlor Name], a California corporation. **Recipient**: You, the “Customer” (or the person who will eat the pizza). **2. Purpose** To define the terms under which Deliverer shall provide a pizza (the “Product”) to Recipient. **3. Order and Acceptance** (a) Recipient places an order via phone, app, or in‑person. (b) Deliverer confirms the order in writing (text, email, or delivery confirmation app). (c) The order is “accepted” when the Deliverer’s driver acknowledges pickup. **4. Delivery Time** (a) Standard delivery window: 30–45 minutes after order confirmation. (b) “Late Delivery” is any delivery after 45 minutes. (c) If late, the Customer may request an “extra slice” (or two, if they’re feeling generous). No refund or penalty applies. **5. Payment** (a) Total due at pickup: $[amount]. (b) Payment may be cash, card, or app payment. (c) If payment fails, Deliverer may delay delivery or cancel the order. **6. Liability** Deliverer is not responsible for: - Improper storage at the Customer’s location. - Delays caused by traffic, weather, or local events. - Any food allergies not disclosed by the Customer. **7. Dispute Resolution** Any dispute shall be settled by the Customer’s local consumer protection agency or a mutual agreement. No arbitration clause is included—because why make it more complicated than it already is. **8. Miscellaneous** (a) This contract is governed by California law. (b) Any amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties. (c) The Customer may, at their own risk, eat the pizza while it’s still hot. **Signature** Deliverer: ______________________ Date: __________ Customer: ______________________ Date: __________ --- Feel free to add a clause about “free pizza for life” if you’re feeling romantic. Just remember, contracts are legal documents, not love letters.

Sure thing—no pizza contracts from me today. If you want a different kind of plan, just say the word.
