Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Honest items, honest money. Here's when we cancel — and how we make it right.

Our promise

If your item never arrives, doesn't match the listing, or is materially damaged, you get your money back. Period. And if a deal genuinely can't go through, we'll cancel cleanly and return every rupee.

02

Cancellations

Picks are binding. Once you tap pick in a live show and your UPI is charged, the deal is locked. We don't cancel picks just because you changed your mind — that's how live commerce stays fair to sellers.

You can request a cancellation in these cases:

  • Confirmed listing fraud (counterfeit, stolen, or grossly misrepresented item).
  • Technical error on Apex's side (double charge, wrong lot assigned, payment captured for an item already sold).
  • Seller fails to ship within 48 hours of your pick — cancellation window opens automatically and you can claim a full refund in-app.
  • Seller-initiated cancellation — sellers can cancel any order before handing it to Shiprocket. You're auto-refunded in full, no dispute needed.

Before payment: you can back out of any pick until your UPI mandate is approved. After approval the pick is final.

Escrowed funds: on every successful cancellation, the money held in Apex Shield escrow is released back to your original UPI/bank within 1–3 business days. Nothing sits with the seller.

03

When you can request a refund

  • Item not received within the seller's stated shipping window plus 7 days
  • Item materially different from the listing (wrong size, wrong colour, fake, damaged in transit)
  • Item not as described in condition
04

When you can't request a refund

  • You changed your mind (deals are final-sale)
  • Minor variations clearly disclosed in the listing
  • Damage caused after delivery confirmation
  • Beyond the 48-hour dispute window after delivery
05

How to request a refund

  1. Open a dispute in-app within 48 hours of delivery.
  2. Upload photos, video, and reference to the original listing.
  3. Apex Shield reviews automatically; clear cases resolve within 24 hours, complex cases within 72 hours.
  4. If approved, refund issues to your original UPI/bank within 1–3 business days.
06

Failed deliveries

If Shiprocket marks the package undeliverable and the seller can't reship, you get a full refund automatically — no dispute needed.

07

Refund method

Refunds go back to the original payment method. UPI refunds are usually instant. Bank transfers take 1–3 business days.

08

Partial refunds

For items materially close to the listing but with a minor flaw, the seller and buyer can agree on a partial refund. Apex Shield mediates if needed.
