  • Transaction being declined due to any other reasons.

All payments made against the purchases on the Website by you shall be compulsorily in Indian Rupees. The Website will not facilitate transactions concerning any other form of currency with respect to the purchases made on the Website.

Prior to shipping or delivering your order, the seller may request you to furnish supporting documents, such as government-issued ID and address proof, to validate the ownership of the payment instrument used for the purchase. This measure is implemented in the interest of creating a secure online shopping environment for our users.

The transactions, and all commercial terms, including the delivery and dispatch of products, are based on principal-to-principal bipartite contractual obligations between the buyer and the seller. The payment facility is utilised by the buyer and seller to facilitate the completion of the transaction. It is important to note that the use of the payment facility does not impose any liability on us for issues such as non-delivery, non-receipt, non-payment, damage, breach of representations and warranties, non-provision of after-sales or warranty services, or fraud related to the products listed on the Website.

By accepting these Terms, you expressly authorise us and our service providers to electronically collect, process, facilitate, and remit payments, including the transaction amount, through electronic means between users on the Website. It is essential to understand that your relationship with us is based on a principal-to-principal arrangement. By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that we operate as an aggregator, with no control or liability for the products listed on our Website and paid for through the payment facility. We do not guarantee the identity of any user and do not ensure the completion of transactions between buyers and sellers.

You acknowledge, understand, and agree that the payment facility provided by us constitutes neither a banking nor financial service. Instead, we function as a facilitator, offering an electronic, automated online payment, and remittance facility for transactions on the Website through the existing authorized banking infrastructure and credit card payment gateway networks. It is imperative to clarify that, in providing the payment facility, we assume neither the role of a trustee nor engage in a fiduciary capacity concerning the transaction, thereby absolving itself from such responsibilities.

We use [Stripe] as a provider for payment gateway services on the Website. You acknowledge and agree that any payment made on the Website shall also be subject to the terms and conditions of [Stripe] which can be found [here].

We affirm that the information provided by the user in this regard will be treated as confidential and will not be divulged to any third party, except as necessitated by the applicable laws, regulations, and/or processes of any government authority, and/or in connection with any judicial proceedings pertaining to legal actions, suits, and/or proceedings arising from or related to these Terms.

We diligently report and pursue both confirmed and suspected instances of credit/debit card fraud. We may request additional authorization from the user, including but not limited to telephone confirmation of the order and/or other pertinent information. The decision to seek further authorization rests solely with us. We retain the right to annul, postpone, decline delivery, or retract any order in case of suspected fraud. We shall not be held liable to the user for any losses arising from such cancellation.

During the order process, we collect specific information such as user ID, time, date, IP address, and other relevant details aimed at identifying individuals involved in fraudulent activities. In cases where an order is suspected to be fraudulent, all records will be provided, with or without a subpoena, to law enforcement agencies and the credit/debit card company for a thorough fraud investigation. We are committed to collaborating with authorities to ensure the prosecution of offenders to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Payment Facility for Buyers:
As a buyer, you acknowledge that when initiating a transaction, you are entering into a legally binding and enforceable contract with the seller. This contract entails the purchase of products from the seller using the payment facility. You are obligated to pay the transaction amount through your issuing bank to the seller via the payment facility. This establishes a clear legal framework for the transaction.

We retain the right to set restrictions on the number of attempts that the Website may accept from an individual utilising a valid credit/debit card and valid bank account or any other approved financial instrument. This encompasses transactions conducted through payment aggregators or any facility authorised by the Reserve Bank of India to provide support for the collection and remittance of payments. Furthermore, we reserve the right to decline processing transactions that surpass these predefined limits.

We reserve the right to postpone the notification of payment confirmation in cases it is found to be suspicious or for buyers engaged in high transaction volumes, ensuring the safety of the transaction and transaction amount. Furthermore, we may retain the transaction amount and refrain from instructing the seller to dispatch or remit the purchased item. We may be required to cooperate with law enforcement officials, redirecting the funds to them (instead of issuing a refund to the buyer) upon their request or in the event of the buyer’s involvement in any form of illegal activity.

The users acknowledge that we will not be liable for any damages, interests, claims, etc., resulting from the non-processing or any delay in the processing of a transaction or transaction amount, which is beyond our control.

Taxes: You are responsible for the payment of all fees, costs, and charges associated with the purchase of products from us, and you agree to bear any and all applicable taxes, including but not limited to VAT/CST, service tax, GST, duties, and cesses, etc.

A confirmation email will be sent to you upon dispatch. If your order is dispatched in multiple packages, you may receive separate dispatch confirmation emails for each package. Each dispatch confirmation email and its corresponding dispatch will constitute a separate contract of sale between you and us for the product(s) specified in that particular dispatch confirmation email.

This applies both to the number of products ordered within a single order and the placing of several orders for the same product where the individual orders hit a quantity limit as set by the seller.
