2. PURPOSE
- The purpose of this Refund & Exchange Policy is to establish a transparent, fair, and legally compliant framework for addressing post-sale consumer concerns related to product exchanges and refunds. This Policy is designed to ensure that customers of Bluorng (“Company”) are fully informed of their rights and responsibilities in the event they are dissatisfied with a delivered product due to size mismatch, receipt of a damaged item, or other legitimate concerns qualifying for exchange. The Policy is further aimed at aligning Bluorng’ return and refund practices with applicable Indian consumer protection laws, particularly the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandate clarity, fairness, and responsiveness in e-commerce operations.
- This Policy also reinforces Bluorng’ commitment to customer satisfaction while safeguarding its commercial interests through reasonable limitations on refunds and shipping responsibilities. The Company follows a non-cash refund model, wherein eligible returns result in the issuance of a non-transferable promo code (credit note) equivalent to the value of the returned product, rather than a direct monetary refund. Additionally, this Policy outlines the role of the customer in facilitating the return process, including the responsibility for reverse shipping, and prescribes the timeline, condition, and procedural requirements for initiating a valid exchange. Through this Policy, Bluorng seeks to maintain a consistent and principled approach to after-sale engagement with its customers.
- In the event of any inconsistency between this Policy and other internal or external policies of the Company, the provisions of this Policy shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency in matters concerning refund & exchange mechanisms.
3. PROCESSING TIMELINE
- All customer orders are processed within 24 to 48 working hours following successful payment verification, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays as per Clause 3(b) of the Shipment Policy.
- Processing time includes order verification, packaging, and preparation for dispatch, and is distinct from shipping, delivery, or return/exchange timelines under this Policy.
- Late delivery notice: If Bluorng anticipates a delay in processing an order beyond the standard 24 to 48 working hours, the customer shall be notified of such delay at least one (1) working day in advance. This clause applies only to delays in order processing prior to dispatch and does not cover delays arising after the order has been handed over to third-party logistics providers.
