When You Are Eligible for a Refund
You are eligible for a refund in the following situations:
Order cancelled before despatch. If you cancel within the permitted window or if we cancel the order due to stock or pricing issues — full refund.
Damaged, defective, or incorrect product. Reported within 48 hours of delivery with photographs — full refund or free replacement, at your option.
Failed delivery. Where the courier is unable to deliver after multiple attempts and the product is returned to us — full refund of the product price.
Sealed and unused returns. Where you return a sealed, unused product within 7 days of delivery and it passes our inspection (see /returns-policy) — full refund.
Allergic reaction. Allergic reactions to skincare or cosmetics, reported within 48 hours of first use with photographs — full refund.
Salon booking cancelled in time. Cancelled 24 or more hours before the appointment — full refund of the deposit. Cancelled within 24 hours — deposit forfeited.
03
When You Are Not Eligible
Refunds are not available for:
• Opened or used fragrances, skincare, or cosmetic products (hygiene reasons).
• Personalised, engraved, or made-to-order items.
• Gift cards, vouchers, and promotional credits.
• Items purchased on final sale or clearance, except where damaged on arrival.
• Salon services that have been completed (see service-quality dispute below).
• Returns received in a condition not reasonably resaleable, or returned beyond the eligibility window.
04
Refund Methods
Refunds are issued to the original payment instrument — the card, UPI account, net-banking account, or wallet used to place the order. We are not able to redirect a refund to a different account or instrument.
Where the original instrument has expired or been closed, we may issue:
• A bank transfer to the registered account holder, against name-matched account proof, or
• A non-expiring store credit of equal value, redeemable in a single use.
Refunds for orders paid in part or full with a gift card are credited back to the gift-card balance.

08
Disputes
If you are dissatisfied with the resolution of a refund request, please escalate to our Grievance Officer at /grievance. We acknowledge grievances within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days in accordance with the IT Rules, 2021.
Beyond the grievance mechanism, you retain all rights and remedies available under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including the right to file a complaint with the appropriate consumer-disputes redressal commission.
09
Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback with your bank or card network, please notify us in parallel at info@themaisonworld.com so that we can support the resolution. Initiating a chargeback while a refund request is already in progress with us may delay rather than expedite the outcome.
Chargebacks raised in bad faith — for orders that were delivered as described and not returned — may be contested and pursued under applicable law.
