CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE

This section deals with conditions relating to selling products or services on the Site.

THE CONTRACT

Your order is a legal offer to the seller to buy the product or service displayed on our Site. When you place an order to purchase a product, any confirmations or status updates received prior to the dispatch of your order serve purely to validate the order details provided and in no way implies the confirmation of the order itself. The acceptance of your order is considered confirmed when the product is dispatched to you. If your order is dispatched in more than one package, you may receive separate dispatch confirmations. Upon time of placing the order, we indicate an approximate timeline that the processing of your order will take. However, we cannot guarantee this timeline to be rigorously precise in every instance as we are dependent on third-party service providers to preserve this commitment. We commit to you to make every reasonable effort to ensure that the indicative timeline is met. All commercial/contractual terms are offered and agreed to between you and the sellers alone. The commercial/contractual terms include, without limitation, price, shipping costs, payment methods, payment terms, date, period and mode of delivery, warranties related to products and services and after-sales services related to products and services. St. Anthony’s Hydro does not have any control or does not determine or advise, or in any way involve itself in the offering or accepting such commercial/contractual terms between you and the Sellers. The seller retains the right to cancel any order at its sole discretion prior to dispatch. We will ensure that there is a timely intimation to you of such cancellation via email or sms. Any prepayments made in case of such cancellation(s) shall be refunded to you within the time frames stipulated.

You confirm that the product(s) or service(s) ordered by you are purchased for your internal/personal consumption and not for commercial resale. You authorise us to declare and provide a declaration to any governmental authority on your behalf stating the aforesaid purpose for your orders on the Site. The Seller or the Site may cancel an order wherein the quantities exceed the typical individual consumption. This applies to the number of products ordered within a single order and the placing of several orders for the same product where the individual orders comprise a quantity that exceeds the typical individual consumption. What comprises a typical individual’s consumption quantity limit shall be based on various factors and at the sole discretion of the Seller or ours and may vary from individual to individual.

You may cancel your order at no cost any time before the item is dispatched to you.

Please note that we sell products only in quantities which correspond to the typical needs of an average household. This applies to the number of products ordered within a single order and the placing of several orders for the same product, where the individual orders comprise a quantity typical for a normal household.

RETURNS

Please review our Return Policy for details.

PRICING, AVAILABILITY AND ORDER PROCESSING

All prices are listed in Rupees are inclusive of all applicable taxes, and are listed on the Site by the seller that is selling the product or service. Items in your Shopping Cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item’s product detail page. Please note that this price may differ from the price shown for the item when placing it in your cart. Placing an item in your cart does not reserve the price shown at that time. It is also possible that an item’s price may decrease between the time you place it in your basket and the time you purchase it.

We do not offer price matching for any items sold by any seller on our Site or other websites.

We are determined to provide the most accurate pricing information on the Site to our users; however, errors may still occur, such as cases when the price of an item is not displayed correctly on the Site. As such, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order. In the event that an item is mispriced, we may, at our own discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your prepayment processed. If such a cancellation occurs on your prepaid order, our policies for refund will apply.

We list availability information for products listed on the Site, including on each product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the Site, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that dispatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, you will be informed by e-mail or sms if any products you order are unavailable.

Please note that there are cases when an order cannot be processed for various reasons. The Site reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason at any given time. You may be asked to provide additional verifications or information, including but not limited to phone number and address, before we accept the order.

In order to avoid any fraud with credit or debit cards, we reserve the right to obtain validation of your payment details before providing you with the product and to verify the personal information you shared with us. This verification can take the shape of an identity, place of residence, or banking information check. The absence of an answer following such an inquiry will automatically cause the cancellation of the order within a reasonable timeline. We reserve the right to proceed to direct cancellation of an order for which we suspect a risk of fraudulent use of banking instruments or other reasons without prior notice or any subsequent legal liability.

REFUND VOUCHER

Refund vouchers can be redeemed on our Website as full or part payment of products from our Website within the given timeline.

Refund vouchers cannot be used from different accounts.

Vouchers are not replaceable if expired.

PROMOTIONAL VOUCHERS

Each issued promotional voucher (App voucher and New customer voucher) will be valid for use by a customer only once. Multiple usages changing the identity is illegal.

The promotional voucher is non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash in part or full, and is valid for a single transaction only.

Promotional vouchers may not be valid during the sale or in conjunction with any special promotion.

The voucher will work only if the minimum purchase amount and other conditions are met.

St. Anthony’s Hydro reserves the right to vary or terminate the operation of any voucher at any time without notice.

St. Anthony’s Hydro shall not be liable to any customer or household for any financial loss arising out of the refusal, cancellation or withdrawal of any voucher or any failure or inability of a customer to use a voucher for any reason.

Vouchers are not replaceable if expired.

SECURITY AND FRAUD

When you use a voucher, you warrant to St. Anthony’s Hydro that you are the duly authorised recipient of the voucher and that you are using it in good faith.

If you redeem, attempt to redeem or encourage the redemption of vouchers to obtain discounts to which you are not entitled, you may be committing a civil or criminal offence.

Suppose we reasonably believe that any voucher is being used unlawfully or illegally. In that case, we may reject or cancel any voucher/order, and you agree that you will have no claim against us regarding any rejection or cancellation. St. Anthony’s Hydro reserves the right to take any further action it deems appropriate in such instances.

TAXES

You shall be responsible for payment of all fees/costs/charges associated with the purchase of products from the Site, and you agree to bear any and all applicable taxes as per prevailing law.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

We do not make any representation or warranty as to specifics (such as quality, value, saleability, etc.) of the products or services listed to be sold on the Site when products or services are sold by third parties. We do not implicitly or explicitly support or endorse the sale or purchase of any products or services on the Site.

We are not responsible for any non-performance or breach of any contract entered into between you and the sellers. We cannot and do not guarantee your actions or the sellers’ actions as they conclude transactions on the Site. We are not required to mediate or resolve any dispute or disagreement arising from transactions occurring on our Site.

We are not responsible for the unsatisfactory or delayed performance of services or damages or delays as a result of products which are out of stock, unavailable or back-ordered.

Pricing on any product(s) or related information, as reflected on the Site, may be due to some technical issue, typographical error or other reason by incorrect as published.
