Refund policy
At [Your Store Name], we want you to feel as good about your purchase as we do about making it. If something isn’t right, we’ll fix it—quickly and without hassle. This policy is designed in line with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and your statutory rights.
1. Return Eligibility Criteria
You can request a return if:
-
The item is unused, unwashed, and in its original condition with all tags, labels, and packaging intact.
-
The item is in a resalable state—no stains, damage, or strong odours.
-
You have the original receipt, order confirmation email, or invoice (digital proof is fine).
-
The return request is raised within the eligible timeframe (see Section 2).
Items that don’t meet these criteria may not be accepted, and the return may be sent back to you.
2. Return Timeframe
-
Standard Returns: You have [X DAYS] from the date of delivery to initiate a return for a refund or exchange.
-
Defective / Damaged / Wrong Items: Please raise the issue within [Y HOURS/DAYS, e.g., 48 HOURS] of receiving the order so we can resolve it fastest.
Don’t worry—if something genuinely goes wrong, we’ll always find a fair solution.
3. Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Products
We check every item before packing, but if an item reaches you damaged, defective, or completely different from what you ordered, we’ve got you covered:
-
Immediate Action: Contact us at [EMAIL ADDRESS] within [Y HOURS/DAYS], attaching clear photos of the product and the outer packaging.
-
Resolution Options: We’ll arrange a free replacement, or if a replacement isn’t available, a full refund (including any shipping charges you paid).

We take full responsibility for our errors. No arguments, no stress.
4. How to Initiate a Return
It’s straightforward:
-
Log in to your account and go to “My Orders”, or email us at [EMAIL ADDRESS] with your order number and reason for return.
-
Our team will confirm the request and, where applicable, share a return authorisation code and pickup details.
-
Pack the item securely with all original accessories and a copy of the invoice.
-
Hand it over to the pickup agent or ship it yourself (if self-ship is requested). Keep the tracking number safe.
Once the package reaches our warehouse, we’ll inspect it and update you on the next step within [Z BUSINESS DAYS].
5. Return Shipping Costs
| Reason for Return | Who Pays Return Shipping? |
|---|---|
| Defective / Damaged / Wrong item | We cover it entirely |
| Size / Fit / No longer needed | Customer bears the cost (flat fee of ₹[F] deducted from refund, or you can ship it yourself) |
| Received wrong product due to our mistake | We cover it |
If we’ve arranged a free reverse pickup and you choose to self-ship instead, we’ll reimburse the shipping amount up to ₹[MAX AMOUNT] upon receiving the courier receipt.
6. Refund Process & Timing
Once your returned item passes our quality check, we’ll process your refund.
-
Refund Mode: Refunds go back to the original payment method (credit/debit card, UPI, net banking, wallet). For Cash on Delivery orders, we’ll ask for your bank account details via a secure link and transfer the amount via NEFT/IMPS.
-
Processing Time:
-
Refund initiated within [REFUND PROCESSING TIME, e.g., 5-7 business days] after approval.
-
The credit appearing on your bank/card statement may take an additional 2–7 business days, depending on your bank.

-
Store Credit Option: If you prefer, we can issue store credit instantly for a faster exchange or future purchase.
You’ll receive an email confirmation as soon as the refund is processed.
7. Exchanges
We offer size, colour, or product exchanges in case of sizing issues or simply a change of heart.
-
Raise an exchange request within [X DAYS] of delivery.
-
If the replacement item is of the same or lower value, no additional payment is needed; if higher, you just pay the difference.
-
Exchanges are subject to stock availability. If the requested item is out of stock, we’ll automatically issue a refund instead.
-
Shipping charges for the replacement are on us in case of wrong/defective items. For personal preference exchanges, a flat ₹[F] may apply.
We want you to end up with something you genuinely love.
