- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.
- We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information or violate these Terms.

- All prices are listed in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
- We reserve the right to modify prices, withdraw products, or limit order quantities at any time without prior notice.
- In the event of a pricing or listing error, we reserve the right to cancel the affected order and issue a full refund, even if the order has been confirmed.
5. Orders and Order Acceptance
- Placing an order on the Platform is an offer to purchase, which we may accept or decline at our discretion.
- An order is confirmed only once you receive an order confirmation via email, SMS, or in-app notification.
- We reserve the right to cancel any order due to product unavailability, suspected fraud, errors in pricing or product information, or issues with delivery to your location.
6. Payments
- We accept payment via Cash on Delivery (COD) and online payment methods, including cards, UPI, and digital wallets, as made available on the Platform from time to time.
- Online payments are processed through third-party payment gateway providers. We do not store your full card, UPI, or bank account details on our servers.
- For Cash on Delivery orders, payment must be made in full at the time of delivery. We reserve the right to restrict or withdraw the COD option for certain products, locations, or order values.

- We aim to deliver orders within the estimated delivery window shown at checkout; however, delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed, and may be affected by factors beyond our control (weather, logistics delays, location accessibility, etc.).
- You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete delivery address. We are not liable for delays or failed deliveries caused by incorrect address information.
- Risk and ownership of products pass to you upon successful delivery.
- If delivery fails due to your unavailability or refusal to accept the order, we reserve the right to charge applicable re-delivery fees or cancel the order, with any refund subject to deductions for delivery costs already incurred.
8. Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds
- You may cancel an order before it has been dispatched by contacting us or through the Platform, where this option is available.
- Due to the nature of perishable goods (such as fresh produce, dairy, and similar items), returns or refunds for these products will only be accepted if the item received is damaged, spoiled, expired, or materially different from what was ordered, and such issues must be reported within 24 hours of delivery, with photographic evidence where applicable.
- For general retail/non-perishable products, returns may be accepted within [X days] of delivery, provided the product is unused, undamaged, and in its original packaging, except where the product falls under a non-returnable category (such as opened personal care or hygiene items).
- Refunds, once approved, will be processed to your original payment method (or as store credit, where applicable) within a reasonable timeframe, subject to your bank's or payment provider's processing times.
- We reserve the right to refuse a return or refund request that does not meet the conditions above or that appears fraudulent or abusive.
