4. Payment Confirmation and Order Processing
- Payment Confirmation: Once you submit your payment, you will receive an email confirmation detailing your payment, order, and a receipt of your transaction.
- Order Processing: Once your payment is successfully processed, we will begin processing your order. If there are any issues with your payment (e.g., declined card, payment failure), we will notify you via email and request a resolution before processing your order.
- Payment Failures: If your payment is declined or fails, please check the details you entered (e.g., card number, expiry date, CVV, etc.) and try again. If you continue to experience issues, you may contact your bank or payment provider for assistance. You may also choose an alternative payment method.
5. Billing and Shipping Address Verification
For security reasons, we may verify the billing and shipping addresses you provide during the checkout process. If we encounter any discrepancies, we will contact you to confirm the details before proceeding with the order.
- Billing Address: The billing address should match the address associated with the payment method you are using. This helps to prevent fraudulent activity.

- Refunds for Canceled or Returned Orders:
- Refund Method: Refunds will be issued to the same payment method that was used to place the original order.
- Refund Timeframe: Refunds are processed within 15 business days of the order being canceled or the return being confirmed. However, it may take additional time for the refund to appear in your account due to varying processing times of different banks or payment providers.

- Charges for Bank Transfers: If you paid using a bank transfer or e-wallet, please note that any associated transaction fees or conversion charges may be non-refundable.

If you are shopping from outside India and using an international payment method such as PayPal, your bank or payment provider may charge a currency conversion fee for converting your payment from your local currency to Indian Rupees (INR).
