Product Disclaimer

1. Embroidery, Fabric & Colour Variations

The Company takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure the quality, craftsmanship, finishing, embroidery, and presentation of all products. However, due to the inherent characteristics of fabrics, dyes, handwork, embroidery techniques, textures, artisanal processes, lighting conditions, and garment treatments, minor variations in embroidery, colour tone, texture, or finish may naturally occur and shall not be treated as defects.

The Company does not guarantee complete resistance against colour bleeding, fading, texture variation, or natural wear associated with fabrics and handcrafted garments.

2. Sizing & Fit

Garment fit and appearance may vary depending upon the cut, silhouette, construction, fabric, styling, and intended design aesthetic of each product. Certain garments may be intentionally designed for relaxed, oversized, tailored, slim-fit, or structured appearances.

Users are advised to carefully review the size chart, product measurements, and fit specifications available with each product prior to placing an order. Slight deviations or marginal differences in measurements may occur due to fabric properties, tailoring processes, hand-finishing techniques, or manufacturing tolerances.

3. Colour Display Accuracy

The Company endeavors to display product colours, textures, and appearances on the Platform as accurately as reasonably possible. However, actual product colours may slightly differ from the digital representation displayed on the Platform due to factors including but not limited to:

  • Screen resolution;
  • Device display settings;
  • Brightness and colour calibration;
  • Studio lighting;
  • Photography techniques; or
  • Natural fabric and dye variations.

Such variations shall not be considered product defects or grounds for return or refund.

4. Wash Care Instructions

Users are advised to carefully read and follow all wash care, storage, ironing, and garment handling instructions provided on product tags, labels, packaging, or accompanying material. The Company shall not be responsible for any damage, shrinkage, colour fading, embroidery deterioration, fabric distortion, or garment defects arising from improper washing, handling, storage, or use contrary to the prescribed care instructions.

5. Transactional Disputes

The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage, failed transaction, declined authorization, delayed processing, banking issue, payment gateway interruption, or financial dispute arising directly or indirectly due to banking limitations, card restrictions, insufficient funds, authorization failures, technical errors, or limitations imposed by financial institutions or payment service providers.

All disputes arising out of transactions conducted through the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts situated in Delhi, India.
