Return and Refund Policy
Last Updated: [DATE]
At Him Veda, we want you to have a smooth and satisfactory shopping experience. We carefully check and pack our products before dispatch. However, if you receive a product that is damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete, or does not meet the applicable return conditions, you may contact us for assistance.
This Return and Refund Policy explains when returns, replacements, exchanges, cancellations, and refunds may be available for purchases made through the Him Veda website.
By placing an order with us, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this policy.
1. Return Eligibility
We accept return requests for eligible products where the product received:
- Is damaged during delivery.
- Is defective or has a manufacturing issue.
- Is different from the product ordered.
- Is missing from the order or has missing components.
- Is materially different from the product description provided on our website.
- Is otherwise eligible for return as specifically mentioned on the relevant product page.
To be eligible for a return, the product should generally be unused and in its original condition, with the original packaging, labels, accessories, and other items supplied with the product.
Certain products may have specific return conditions due to their nature, hygiene requirements, safety considerations, or product category. Customers should therefore check the individual product page and applicable product instructions before requesting a return.
2. Return Request Period
Customers must contact Him Veda within [7 DAYS] of receiving the order if they wish to request a return, replacement, or refund for an eligible issue.
Return requests submitted after the applicable return period may not be accepted unless required under applicable law or otherwise approved by Him Veda.
To help us process your request, please provide:
- Order number
- Customer name
- Registered mobile number
- Email address
- Product name
- Reason for return
- Clear photographs of the product
- Photographs of the outer packaging, where applicable
- Unboxing video, where available or reasonably requested
- Any other information required to verify the issue
Providing clear photographs or videos can help us investigate damage, incorrect products, missing items, or other order-related concerns more efficiently.
3. Damaged Products
If your product arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible after delivery.
We recommend taking photographs of the package and product before discarding any packaging material.
Depending on the circumstances and verification of the issue, Him Veda may offer:
- Replacement of the product;
- Exchange for an eligible product;
- Refund of the applicable amount; or
- Another appropriate resolution.
The resolution may depend on product availability, the nature of the damage, and the circumstances of the order.
4. Defective Products
If you believe that a product has a manufacturing defect or is not functioning as reasonably expected, please contact our customer-support team within the applicable return period.
We may ask for photographs, videos, product details, or other information to understand and verify the issue.
After verification, we may provide a replacement, repair where applicable, exchange, refund, or another appropriate resolution depending on the product and circumstances.
Damage caused by misuse, improper handling, unauthorized modification, negligence, or use contrary to the product instructions may not qualify for a return or refund.
5. Wrong Product Received
If you receive a product that is different from the product you ordered, please contact us within [7 DAYS] of delivery.
Please provide photographs showing the product received and, where possible, the shipping label or packaging.
After verification, we may arrange for the incorrect product to be returned and provide the correct product or another appropriate resolution.
6. Missing Items
If an item, accessory, component, or quantity appears to be missing from your order, please contact us promptly.
We may request photographs of the package and its contents to verify the issue.
After verification, we may send the missing item where possible or provide another appropriate resolution.
7. Products That Cannot Be Returned
Certain products may not be eligible for return or exchange once opened, used, damaged, altered, or otherwise handled after delivery.
This may include products that:
- Have been opened or used;
- Have been damaged after delivery due to customer handling;
- Are missing original packaging or accessories;
- Have been altered, modified, or tampered with;
- Have been purchased as non-returnable products;
- Are returned after the applicable return period;
- Cannot reasonably be resold due to hygiene or safety considerations.
The specific return eligibility of a product may be stated on its product page or communicated to the customer at the time of purchase.
Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict any consumer right or remedy that cannot legally be excluded.
8. Return Conditions
For an approved return, customers may be required to return the product in its original condition.
Where applicable, please ensure that:
- The product is unused;
- Original packaging is retained;
- Labels and tags remain attached;
- Accessories are included;
- Manuals or documentation are included;
- The product has not been damaged after delivery;
- The product is securely packed for return.
If a returned product does not meet the applicable return conditions, Him Veda may review the circumstances before approving a refund or replacement, subject to applicable law.
9. Return Shipping Charges
Where a return is approved because the wrong product was delivered, the product was damaged during delivery, or there is a verified issue attributable to Him Veda, we may arrange or bear the applicable return shipping cost.
For returns requested for other reasons, the customer may be responsible for applicable return shipping charges.
The exact shipping arrangement will be communicated to the customer when the return request is reviewed.
10. Refund Policy
Once a return is approved and the returned product has been received and inspected where required, Him Veda will process the applicable refund.
Refunds may be issued through the original payment method or another appropriate payment method, depending on the transaction and circumstances.
The time required for the refund to appear in your bank account, card account, wallet, or other payment account may depend on the payment gateway, bank, card issuer, or financial institution.
Him Veda does not control processing times imposed by third-party financial institutions.
11. Refund Processing Time
After a refund has been approved, we will initiate the refund within [X BUSINESS DAYS], subject to successful verification and applicable payment-processing procedures.
Once initiated, the actual crediting time may vary depending on your payment provider or bank.
If you have not received an approved refund within the expected timeframe, please contact us with your order number and refund details so that we can assist you.
12. Partial Refunds
In certain circumstances, a partial refund may be considered where only part of an order is eligible for a refund or where a specific resolution has been agreed with the customer.
Any applicable partial refund will be communicated to the customer before processing.
13. Cancellation Before Dispatch
If you wish to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible after placing the order.
We will make reasonable efforts to cancel an order before it has been processed, packed, or dispatched.
Once an order has been dispatched or handed over to the shipping partner, cancellation may no longer be possible. In such cases, the customer may need to follow the applicable return procedure.
14. Cash on Delivery Orders
For Cash on Delivery (“COD”) orders, cancellation should preferably be requested before the order is dispatched.
If a COD order has already been dispatched, cancellation may not be possible through our system.
Repeated refusal of COD deliveries or repeated cancellations may affect the availability of COD for future orders, subject to applicable law and our operational requirements.
15. Exchange or Replacement
Where an exchange or replacement is approved, we will attempt to provide the same product, subject to availability.
If the same product is unavailable, Him Veda may provide another appropriate resolution, which may include a refund.
Replacement timelines may vary depending on product availability and courier serviceability.
16. Return Inspection
For certain return requests, the returned product may need to be inspected before a refund or replacement is finalized.
The purpose of inspection is to verify the condition of the product and confirm that the reported issue corresponds with the return request.
Inspection does not affect any rights or remedies available to customers under applicable law.
17. Refund Not Received
If you have received confirmation from Him Veda that your refund has been processed but the amount has not yet appeared in your account, please first check with your bank, card issuer, payment provider, or other applicable financial institution.
If the amount is still not received, contact us at the details below and provide your order number and refund information.
We will make reasonable efforts to assist you in tracking the status of the refund.

19. Fraudulent or Abusive Return Requests
Him Veda reserves the right to investigate return requests where there are reasonable concerns regarding fraud, misuse, repeated abuse of the return process, false claims, product substitution, intentional damage, or other improper activity.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests that do not satisfy the applicable return conditions.
This does not affect legitimate consumer rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
20. Policy Changes
Him Veda may update this Return and Refund Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products, services, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.
The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
The policy applicable to an order will be determined according to the circumstances of that order and applicable law.
