Terms & Conditions

1. About Lavy & Lilac

Lavy & Lilac Fashion Studio (“Lavy & Lilac”, “we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website and offers fashion products including sarees, ethnic wear, western wear, accessories and related products.

These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of our website and your purchase of products through the website.

By accessing the website, creating an account, placing an order or purchasing a product, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms & Conditions, together with our Refund & Exchange Policy, Shipping & Delivery Policy, Privacy Policy and Intellectual Property Notice.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website or place an order.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding contract under applicable Indian law to place an order through this website.

If you place an order on behalf of another person, organisation or business, you confirm that you have the authority to do so.

3. Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, colours, measurements, fabric details and other information displayed on the website are accurate.

However:

  • colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen or device;
  • photographs may be affected by lighting and photography conditions;
  • minor variations may occur due to fabric characteristics and manufacturing processes;
  • measurements may be subject to reasonable manufacturing tolerances; and
  • availability is subject to stock.

We reserve the right to correct typographical, pricing, stock or product-description errors.

Where a material error is identified, we may contact the customer before proceeding with fulfilment.

4. Product Photographs

Product photographs are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the product.

The actual colour, texture or appearance may vary slightly from what is displayed on an individual device.

Such normal variations do not automatically constitute a product defect.

5. Prices

All prices displayed on the website are in Indian Rupees (INR), unless otherwise stated.

Prices may be changed from time to time.

The applicable product price will generally be the price displayed at the time the order is placed, subject to correction of obvious pricing or technical errors.

Applicable shipping charges, taxes or other charges, where relevant, will be displayed during checkout before completion of the transaction.

6. Orders

When you place an order through the website, you are submitting a request to purchase the selected products.

You agree to provide accurate:

  • name;
  • delivery address;
  • billing information;
  • email address;
  • telephone/mobile number; and
  • other information reasonably required for processing the order.

Successful payment does not necessarily prevent an order from being cancelled where there is a genuine issue concerning stock availability, pricing error, payment verification, fraud prevention, delivery or fulfilment.

Where Lavy & Lilac cancels an accepted order after receiving payment, any applicable refund will be processed in accordance with our policies and applicable law.

7. Order Confirmation

An order confirmation may be sent to the email address or contact details provided by you.

The order confirmation confirms receipt of your order request and does not necessarily constitute an unconditional guarantee of fulfilment where a legitimate stock, payment, pricing or operational issue subsequently arises.

8. Cancellation of Orders

Because products may be sourced, reserved, prepared, packed or processed through vendors or suppliers, cancellation may not be possible once an order has entered processing.

Once an order has been processed, packed or dispatched, cancellation will generally not be available.

Cancellation requests received before processing may be reviewed depending on the status of the order and the circumstances.

Where a cancellation is accepted, any applicable refund will be handled in accordance with our Refund & Exchange Policy and applicable law.

9. Payment

Payments may be processed through third-party payment gateways, including Razorpay or other payment providers made available on the website.

You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method used for the transaction.

You agree not to use fraudulent, unauthorised or unlawfully obtained payment methods.

Lavy & Lilac may place an order on hold or cancel a transaction where there is a reasonable concern regarding payment fraud, unauthorised use or other security concerns.

Fraudulent or Unauthorised Payments

Lavy & Lilac Fashion Studio will not be responsible for fraudulent, unauthorised or illegally obtained payment methods used by a customer or any third party.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the payment method used to place an order is authorised and belongs to them or that they have the necessary permission to use it.

Lavy & Lilac reserves the right to hold, cancel or refuse an order where a transaction appears suspicious, fraudulent or unauthorised, or where payment verification cannot be completed.

Any payment dispute, chargeback or transaction-related claim may be subject to verification with the applicable payment gateway, bank or financial institution.

10. Payment Confirmation

An order will be processed only after successful payment confirmation.

A debit appearing in the customer’s bank account does not by itself confirm successful receipt of payment by Lavy & Lilac.

Where a transaction is pending, failed, reversed or otherwise unconfirmed, the order will be processed only after successful payment confirmation.

Any resulting delay will be additional to the standard delivery timeline applicable to the order.

11. Shipping & Delivery

Shipping charges and applicable delivery information will be displayed during checkout or communicated to the customer.

Delivery timelines are estimates and may vary because of:

  • courier delays;
  • weather conditions;
  • public holidays;
  • strikes;
  • transportation disruption;
  • incorrect or incomplete address information;
  • customer unavailability;
  • vendor or manufacturing requirements; and
  • other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that the delivery address and contact details provided are accurate.

Please refer to our Shipping & Delivery Policy for further details.

12. Returns & Exchanges

Lavy & Lilac follows an exchange-based policy rather than a general return-for-refund policy, subject to applicable law.

Customers should review the separate Refund & Exchange Policy before placing an order.

Eligible exchanges generally require the product to be:

  • unused;
  • unworn;
  • unwashed;
  • unaltered;
  • in original condition;
  • accompanied by original tags where applicable; and
  • accompanied by original packaging where reasonably applicable.

13. Damaged, Incorrect or Missing Products

If you receive a product that appears damaged, incorrect, incomplete or materially defective, please contact us promptly.

We may request:

  • order number;
  • photographs of the outer package;
  • photograph of the shipping label;
  • photographs of the product;
  • photographs of any visible damage;
  • video evidence; and
  • continuous unboxing/opening video where required under our Refund & Exchange Policy.

All complaints are subject to reasonable review and verification.

14. Refunds

Lavy & Lilac does not provide routine refunds merely because a customer changes their mind, no longer wishes to retain a product or has a personal preference, except where required by applicable law.

Please refer to our Refund & Exchange Policy for the complete refund provisions.

Where Lavy & Lilac is unable to fulfil an accepted and paid order because the required product is unavailable and cannot reasonably be delivered within 50 business days from the order date, the customer may request cancellation/refund of the undelivered product/order in accordance with the Refund & Exchange Policy.

15. Replacement Availability

Replacement is subject to availability and vendor confirmation.

If the exact product is unavailable at the time the exchange is approved, Lavy & Lilac may, at its discretion and after checking with the vendor/manufacturing units, offer one of the following:

  • the same product with a revised delivery timeline, subject to the availability of the required raw materials, fabrics, trims and other components necessary for manufacturing the replacement product, as well as the vendor’s production schedule;
  • another readily available product of the same value, excluding shipping charges;
  • a comparable alternative product of the same value, excluding shipping charges; or
