Customer Protection Policy — NariHaat Retails Private Limited

Effective Date: September 2025

At NariHaat.com, customer trust is our top priority. This Customer Protection Policy sets out buyer rights, payment protections, and dispute-resolution procedures for purchases and services booked through our platform, consistent with Indian marketplace regulations and Google policies.

1. Buyer Rights

  • • Customers have the right to receive genuine products and services as described by the vendor.
  • • Customers are entitled to secure and transparent transactions and clear pricing (including taxes and shipping).
  • • Customers may request refunds, returns, or replacements under NariHaat’s Return & Refund Policy.
  • • Customers have the right to raise disputes when vendors fail to deliver as promised; NariHaat will assist in mediation.

2. Safe Payments

  • • All transactions are processed through PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways.
  • • Customer payment information is encrypted and never shared with vendors. Only non-sensitive, necessary payment references are passed for fulfilment and reconciliation.
  • • NariHaat may hold payments in escrow until order/service confirmation to protect buyers.

3. Fraud & Misrepresentation Protection

  • • If a vendor delivers fake, defective, counterfeit, or misrepresented items, customers are eligible for a full refund after verification.
  • • For services (hotels, salons, consultations) not provided as listed, NariHaat may issue a refund, reschedule, or provide a credit once verified.
  • • Vendors found guilty of fraud or repeated policy violations may face penalties, suspension, or delisting.

4. Refund & Return Assurance

Customers may raise return or refund requests within 7 days of delivery or service completion for eligible cases. Eligible reasons include damaged items, wrong items, or items not matching descriptions. Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5–7 business days after approval, subject to payment gateway clearing times.
