2. For these Terms of Use, wherever the context requires, "You" or "User" shall mean any legal person who has agreed to become a buyer on the Platform by providing data while registering on the Platform as Registered User.

3. When You use any of the services provided by Us through the Platform, including but not limited to (e.g. Product Reviews, Seller Reviews), You will be subjected to the rules, guidelines, terms, and conditions applicable to such Services. They shall be deemed incorporated into this Terms of Use and considered part and parcel of this Terms of Use. At Our sole discretion, we reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms of Use randomly without any prior written notice to you. You shall review these Terms of Use periodically for updates/changes. Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of changes will mean that You accept and agree to the revisions. As long as You comply with these Terms of Use, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited privilege to enter and use the Platform by us. By impliedly or expressly accepting these Terms of Use, You also acknowledge and agree to be bound by Our Policies, including but not limited to Privacy Policy as amended occasionally.

4. Every attempt is made to bring you top-quality products, but considering the nature of the items (fancy and decorative), a product warranty is unavailable unless specified.

5. We try our best to describe the item as is. However, due to digital image capture effects, there is a possibility that colors and textures may look different. Please ask any questions before placing the order.

6. If you need additional buttons, exceptional design, embroidery, extra lining, lining in the bottom (salwar), etc.- charges may be extra.

7. Being custom-made garments, shipping duration includes stitching time as well. Typically, we take 12 - 18 business days to ship from the day we receive your final measurement and payment. International shipping takes around 12-18 business days, but shipping time depends on many factors, and we cannot guarantee the same. -Items are directly shipped and hence might take longer for delivery. However, you will receive the item within the specified duration. Shipping may get delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, and we are not responsible for any delay.

10. We use standard shipping carriers like DHL, FedEx, UPS, or USPS.

11. Shipping Delay: We are not responsible for any delay if the shipping agency delays the shipment due to internal faults or due to the unavailability of the recipient when the shipping agency tries to deliver the package.

12. please contact us if you do not receive confirmation or invoice emails (mainly due to spam filters etc.).

13. Custom Charges: VAT, Custom Taxes, or any other charges are not included in our ordering process but may be charged to you by your border/customs agency or government agency. So, international customers are responsible for customs or duty fees levied by their country. These charges are on the customer`s account, whether when receiving or returning the item. We prefer keeping the package value low to avoid other expenses.

14. Color and Description Disclaimer:
A customer must fix an order keeping in mind some minor variation in color, as seen on a computer screen, against the actual color of the outfit received. It is sometimes a little challenging to replicate the same color as seen on a computer screen. Although extra attention is given to reproducing the colors accurately, there may still be minor variations in the color of an actual product due to the nature of fabric dyes. A variation in shade is considered a standard practice as these garments tend to reflect different shades of color under other lights.

Customers who prefer items with beaded embroidery and sequins must know these shiny embellishments tend to come off. This problem cannot be avoided altogether despite the best handling and care. So, before ordering such an item, please remember these things. We are at your Service and endeavor to provide you with the best sarees, salwar kameez, and lehengas in the current fashion. It is a privilege to have you as our customer!

Availability: All of the products are available unless it is specified. However, the Product may be unavailable anytime due to higher volume, damage, or other unforeseen reasons.

Replica of Bollywood outfits Disclaimer:
The pictures shown are for reference purposes only. Please note that while you purchase Bollywood Salwar suits and Sarees, You are getting a replica(a copy) of the outfit you see in the picture, which is not the actual one the star/celebrity is wearing. It is our closest attempt to make the outfit look like a celebrity-styled designer outfit. It might vary in work/fabric or color combination, though we try out best to give a similar look considering the budget of the sale price.
We try our best to match all outfits based on the pictures shown. 100% copy of outfits in the picture is the goal we try to achieve. Items can not be returned because they do not exactly look like a picture or the Material used looks different than what you see in the picture.

The pictures are digital and taken using high-standard photography techniques such that the actual Product may differ in some cases from what you see in the picture.
