Refund, Cancellation and Return Policy – ConnectLocal.in

Last Updated: 26 October 2026

ConnectLocal.in (“ConnectLocal”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a local marketplace that connects customers with participating shops, restaurants, and service providers. This policy explains the conditions under which cancellations, returns, refunds, and booking adjustments may be requested.

1. General Refund Policy

Refund eligibility depends on the type of product or service, the order status, the reason for the request, and the applicable vendor policy. Any relevant cancellation, return, or refund conditions will be communicated before an order or booking is confirmed, where applicable.

Nothing in this policy limits any consumer rights available under applicable law.

2. Order Cancellation

Customers may request cancellation before an order is accepted or prepared, subject to the applicable order terms.

• Before vendor acceptance: Cancellation may be permitted if payment or order processing has not become irreversible.

• After acceptance or preparation: Cancellation may be restricted, particularly for freshly prepared food or customized products.

• Vendor cancellation: If a vendor cannot fulfill an accepted order, the customer may be eligible for a refund of the amount paid for the unfulfilled order.

• Platform or technical errors: Orders affected by duplicate payments or confirmed technical errors will be reviewed and corrected as appropriate.

Cancellation requests should be submitted through the available order interface or by contacting support.

3. Food Orders

Food orders may become non-cancellable once preparation has started. However, customers may contact support if an order is not delivered, is materially incorrect, arrives damaged, or has another legitimate fulfillment issue.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, an appropriate remedy may include a replacement, partial refund, or full refund.

Customers should report food-related issues promptly and provide order details and supporting photographs where reasonably necessary.

4. Local Shopping and Product Returns

Return and refund eligibility depends on the product type, vendor terms, condition of the product, and applicable law.

Customers should inspect products upon delivery and report missing, damaged, defective, counterfeit, or materially misdescribed items promptly.

Where a return is approved, the customer may be required to follow the vendor's return instructions. Products must be returned in the required condition, except where the issue itself prevents this.

Exceptions for perishable, customized, or hygiene-sensitive products will apply only to the extent permitted by law and must not override mandatory consumer rights.

5. Vehicle Rental Bookings

Vehicle rental bookings are subject to the cancellation terms shown by the rental provider before confirmation.

• Booking request not confirmed: Any amount collected for an unconfirmed booking will be reviewed for refund, subject to the disclosed terms and applicable law.

• Customer cancellation: Refund eligibility may depend on how far in advance the booking is cancelled and the disclosed cancellation policy.

• Provider cancellation or vehicle unavailable: Customers may be eligible for a refund of amounts paid for the unavailable service.

• Vehicle not as described or not supplied: Contact support promptly so the issue can be investigated and an appropriate remedy determined.

• Security deposits: Refunds are handled according to the rental agreement, including any lawful and properly disclosed deductions for damage, excess usage, or other agreed charges.

Customers should review the rental duration, mileage limits, fuel policy, deposit, driver arrangements, and cancellation terms before booking.

6. Delivery Charges and Additional Fees

Delivery charges, convenience fees, booking fees, taxes, and other charges will be handled according to the terms disclosed at checkout and applicable law.

If an order or service is cancelled by a vendor or cannot be fulfilled, the treatment of related fees will be assessed under the disclosed terms and applicable legal requirements.

8. Refund Processing Time

Once a refund is approved, it will be initiated through the original payment method where supported, or through another lawful method agreed with the customer.

Processing time depends on the payment provider, bank, and transaction method. Any estimated processing period will be communicated when the refund is approved. A refund may take additional time to appear in the customer's account after it has been initiated.

9. Duplicate Payments and Failed Transactions

If a payment is debited more than once for the same order, or a payment succeeds while the order fails, contact support with the transaction reference and order details. After verification, eligible duplicate or failed-order payments will be processed for reversal or refund as appropriate.

10. Fraud and Misuse

ConnectLocal may investigate suspected fraudulent or abusive refund requests. Refund decisions will be based on the available evidence, the applicable terms, and legal obligations. Legitimate consumer complaints and statutory rights will not be denied merely because a customer has made a previous refund request.

11. Policy Updates

ConnectLocal may update this policy when its services or legal requirements change. The latest version and revision date will be published on ConnectLocal.in. Changes will not remove rights that customers are entitled to under applicable law.
