2. Eligibility and Account Information
You must be legally capable of entering into a purchase transaction under the laws applicable to you. If you place an order on behalf of another person or business, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
You agree to provide accurate and complete contact, billing and delivery information and to keep your account details secure. Please notify us if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.

3. Products and Food Information
We aim to describe our products, ingredients, quantities, prices and packaging accurately.
Because our products are prepared in batches, minor variations in colour, texture, appearance, spice distribution or taste may occur. Such natural variations do not automatically indicate a defect.
Product photographs are illustrative; packaging, labels or presentation may change where necessary, subject to applicable labelling and consumer-protection requirements.
Please review the ingredient list, allergen declarations, net quantity, storage instructions, date markings and other information on the product label before consumption. If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions or sensitivities, contact us before ordering if you need clarification.
Do not consume a product if its seal is broken, the packaging appears tampered with, or you suspect that it is unsafe. Contact us promptly.

4. Orders and Acceptance
Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products. An automated order confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order and does not necessarily mean that the order has been finally accepted.
We may need to contact you to verify information, clarify delivery details or address payment or inventory issues.
If we cannot fulfil an order, we will notify you and arrange an appropriate cancellation and refund where applicable. We will not use this clause to avoid consumer rights or obligations imposed by law.

5. Prices, Taxes and Payments
Prices are displayed in the currency shown at checkout. Unless expressly stated otherwise, applicable shipping charges, taxes or other disclosed fees will be shown before you complete your purchase.
We take reasonable care to maintain accurate prices and product information. If a material error is identified, we will contact you before proceeding with an affected order and provide an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable law.
Payments are processed through the payment methods available at checkout. Your order may be held or cancelled if payment is unsuccessful or suspected to be fraudulent, subject to applicable law.

6. Shipping and Delivery
Orders are delivered to eligible locations supported by our checkout and shipping partners. Dispatch and delivery estimates are provided in our Shipping Policy or during checkout.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees unless expressly stated as such. Delays may occur due to carrier operations, weather, public holidays, customs procedures or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Please ensure that the delivery address and contact details are correct. Contact us promptly if you notice an error.
International orders, where available, may be subject to import restrictions, customs checks, duties and taxes. Please review our Shipping Policy before ordering.

7. Cancellations, Returns and Refunds
Cancellation requests, returns, refunds and replacement claims are governed by our Refund Policy and applicable law.
Food products may be unsuitable for ordinary change-of-mind returns once delivered or opened for food-safety reasons. This does not exclude remedies that may be available for damaged, defective, unsafe, incorrect or otherwise non-conforming products.
Nothing in these terms limits any mandatory consumer rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Acceptable Website Use

Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purposes.
Interfere with website security or attempt unauthorised access.
Introduce malicious code or disrupt website operations.
Misuse another customer's personal information.

10. Reviews and Customer Submissions
If you submit a review, photograph, suggestion or other content, you confirm that you have the necessary rights to submit it and that it is not unlawful or misleading.
You grant us permission to use and display that content for purposes connected with our business, customer feedback and marketing, subject to applicable law. We will not falsely present a review or materially misrepresent a customer's experience.

We may modify or discontinue website features or product listings, subject to existing orders and applicable legal obligations.

12. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for indirect losses arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, product liability, negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, or any statutory consumer right that cannot be waived.
Our products should be stored, handled and consumed in accordance with their labels and instructions.

13. Privacy
Personal information collected through our website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

14. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India, subject to mandatory consumer-protection laws applicable to the transaction.
We encourage customers to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve complaints promptly and fairly. Nothing in this section prevents a consumer from approaching a competent consumer authority or forum where permitted by law.
