Clarifies cancellation windows, vendor/direct and wallet refund handling, auto-order debit behavior, and escalation mechanics.

Customers and vendorsLast updated May 8, 2026

1. Vendor-Controlled Cancellation Terms

  • Cancellation eligibility, cut-off time and category restrictions are defined by each vendor and must be disclosed to customers before checkout.
  • After a vendor-defined processing/dispatch stage, cancellation may be restricted or unavailable subject to applicable law.
  • Customers are responsible for reviewing listing-level cancellation terms before placing an order.

2. Refund Processing Responsibility

  • Refund approval, amount computation and timeline are the responsibility of the vendor for vendor-led payment flows.
  • For direct pay-mode transactions, refunds are processed by the vendor through the original or legally permitted payment mode.
  • For wallet-paid transactions, approved refunds are credited back to the same customer wallet unless law requires a different route.

3. Wallet and Auto-Order Terms

  • Wallet balance can be used only for eligible purchases on the platform and cannot be withdrawn as cash, transferred to another user, or redeemed outside supported checkout flows.
  • Auto-order features (including recurring dairy order flows) create orders based on saved user preferences; each successful auto-order deducts amount from the linked payment mode or wallet as configured.
  • If wallet balance or payment authorization is insufficient at execution time, the auto-order may fail, be skipped, or remain unconfirmed, and user notification may be shown in app.
  • Users are responsible for maintaining sufficient wallet balance or valid payment instruments for auto-order execution.
  • Aikyamart may reverse erroneous wallet credits/debits, block suspicious wallet activity, and place temporary restrictions where fraud, abuse, or policy risk is detected.

4. Evidence, Timelines and Customer Communication

  • Vendors may require order reference, transaction proof, delivery evidence, product evidence and issue description before deciding cancellation/refund claims.
  • Vendors should communicate final decision and reason to the customer within a commercially reasonable time under applicable law.
  • Delayed or non-responsive handling may trigger platform-level review and enforcement.

5. Platform Escalation and Enforcement

  • Customers should first seek direct resolution with the vendor; unresolved matters may be escalated through Aikyamart grievance channels.
  • Aikyamart may review records, request additional documentation and apply actions including warnings, listing restrictions, temporary suspension or account termination for policy breaches.
  • Aikyamart does not adjudicate courts of law; statutory rights and legal remedies remain available to users under applicable law.
