At VAANAVIL IYARKAI ANGADI, we aim to provide quality traditional food products and a smooth shopping experience. Please review these return guidelines before placing an order. This policy is subject to applicable Indian consumer-protection laws and does not limit any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

1. Product Check at the Time of Delivery

Please check the condition, product details, quantity, and packaging of your order when it is delivered. If you receive an incorrect, visibly damaged, or defective product, contact us as soon as reasonably possible and provide supporting evidence such as photographs or videos.

For food products, including traditional rice, millets, wood press oils, spices, and other grocery items, please check the packaging, seal, and expiry or best-before date where applicable. Reporting an issue promptly helps us review your request and does not remove rights available under applicable law.

2. Unused Product Returns

If a product is unused, unopened, undamaged, and has its original packaging intact, you may contact our customer-support team to request a return, subject to the product category, our return conditions, and applicable law. Please provide your order number and supporting evidence where relevant. Return arrangements, where approved, will be communicated by our support team.

3. Used or Opened Products

Returns may not be accepted for products that have been opened, consumed, altered, or damaged after delivery, or for food products that have not been stored properly, where the request is based only on a change of mind. These conditions do not affect any remedy available under applicable law for defective, damaged, expired, or incorrectly supplied products.

4. Preference-Based Returns

We generally do not accept returns solely for:

• Change of mind after placing an order.
• Changes in personal taste or product preferences.
• Preference regarding the natural appearance, aroma, or texture of a correctly supplied product.
• Incorrect product selection by the customer.

This does not exclude any rights or remedies available under applicable Indian consumer-protection law.

5. Product Availability and Pricing

Product availability, prices, specifications, and packaging may change from time to time. If a product becomes unavailable or a material pricing issue arises before an order is accepted or fulfilled, we will contact you and explain the available options. If an order is cancelled after payment has been collected, any refund due will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

6. How to Request a Return

When contacting us about a return or product issue, please provide:

• Your order number.
• Clear photographs or videos showing the product or issue.
• Photographs of the original packaging and shipping label, where relevant.
• A brief description of the issue and when you noticed it.

Providing complete information can help us review your request more quickly. We may contact you if further details are required. Please do not send a physical product back until our support team has provided return instructions, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

7. Review and Resolution

Return requests are reviewed by our customer-support team based on the order details, evidence provided, product condition, and applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, the resolution may include a replacement, exchange, refund, or another appropriate remedy. We will communicate the outcome and any next steps to you.

8. Shipping Charges for Returns

Any return-shipping arrangements or charges will be communicated when the return is approved and handled in accordance with applicable law. Where the return is due to an error attributable to us, a defective product, damage in transit, or another issue for which we are responsible, we will explain the applicable return-shipping arrangements.

9. Promotional Items

Products purchased during promotional campaigns, clearance sales, or discounted offers remain subject to this Return Policy and applicable law. A promotional or discounted price does not remove any mandatory consumer rights relating to defective, damaged, expired, or incorrectly supplied products.

10. Policy Updates

VAANAVIL IYARKAI ANGADI may update this Return Policy from time to time. Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. Changes will apply subject to applicable law and will not remove rights that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Governing Law

This policy is governed by the laws of India. Subject to mandatory consumer-protection laws and the jurisdiction of authorities legally competent to hear a dispute, courts with competent jurisdiction in Tamil Nadu, India may hear disputes relating to this policy.
