Return, Refund & Exchange Policy

A Return, Refund & Exchange Policy outlines procedures for customers to return products, request refunds or exchange items, ensuring transparency and compliance. Governed by India’s Consumer Protection Act, 2019, Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, Indian Contract Act, 1872 and global standards like GDPR and CCPA, it fosters trust and reduces disputes in e-commerce, D2C and retail. Essential for customer satisfaction, it avoids penalties (e.g., ₹50,000–₹25 lakh under Consumer Protection Act, Section 89). 

Novam Legal delivers tailored, compliant policies for domestic and international markets.

Here’s how a Return, Refund & Exchange Policy delivers value for your business:

  • Returns Process Streamlined: Clear procedures simplify customer returns, per Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
