Our store is hosted on the Shopify e‑commerce platform. By browsing, visiting, creating an account or submitting orders on our website, you acknowledge you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by these Terms, together with our Return & Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Contact Us page and Shipping Policy published at https://meenabazaar.shop. If you do not accept any portion of these Terms, you must refrain from accessing our website and completing any purchase. For inquiries regarding these Terms, please contact us via email at info@meenabazaar.shop.

1. Eligibility

To place orders on meenabazaar.shop, you must be at least 18 years old or have reached the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction. When registering an account or completing checkout, you undertake to provide accurate, complete and up‑to‑date information including your full legal name, valid email address, billing and shipping address. You are fully responsible for safeguarding your account login credentials, and all activities conducted under your account are your sole responsibility. You are prohibited from utilizing our website for any unlawful or unauthorized purposes.

2. Product Information, Pricing and Stock Availability

We take reasonable measures to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, sizing charts, colours and pricing for suits, gowns, sarees, lehengas, kurtis, unstitched fabric materials and all other ethnic‑wear goods available on https://meenabazaar.shop. However, colour display differences caused by device screen settings may result in minor visual discrepancies between digital images and actual physical products, especially for embroidered, sequined, zari‑work and handcrafted ethnic garments, and we cannot guarantee perfect screen‑to‑product colour matching.

All prices shown on the website are subject to modification without prior notice. Product prices exclude shipping fees, import duties, customs taxes and other local government‑imposed levies unless explicitly specified during checkout. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors even after an order has been submitted.

Product stock availability is not guaranteed. We may discontinue merchandise, apply purchase quantity limits or reject order processing for out‑of‑stock items. If an item you have ordered becomes unavailable after checkout, we will notify you by email, and offer you the options of alternative product selection, store credit or a full refund back to your original payment method.

3. Orders, Payment and Contract Formation

Submitting an order via our checkout process constitutes your offer to buy selected merchandise. Automated order‑confirmation emails only serve to acknowledge receipt of your order and do not represent acceptance of the sales contract. A binding purchase contract is formed only when we dispatch your ordered goods.

You agree to settle all charges displayed at checkout, including product value, shipping and any applicable extra fees. Full payment must be processed through our supported payment channels before goods are dispatched. We retain the right to decline or cancel any order in cases of suspected fraudulent activity, unauthorized payment, product stock shortage or customer‑information verification failure. If your order gets cancelled prior to shipment, we will issue a full refund for payments you have made.

4. Shipping, Risk of Loss and Delivery

Detailed shipping regulations are laid out within our official Shipping Policy published on our site. Risk of loss, theft or product damage transfers to you once merchandise is handed over to the shipping carrier. All delivery timelines presented on the website are estimations only and are not legally guaranteed. Delivery delays may arise from carrier disruptions, customs clearance procedures, public holidays or force‑majeure events. You are required to inspect received ethnic‑wear goods promptly upon delivery. Any shipping‑related questions can be directed to info@meenabazaar.shop.

5. Returns, Refunds and Exchanges

All return, refund and exchange activities are exclusively governed by our Return & Refund Policy. By placing an order, you accept every requirement defined in that policy document, including return time limits, product‑condition standards for embroidered garments, return‑shipping‑cost allocation and non‑returnable‑item categories such as custom‑tailored or personalized ethnic outfits. No return or refund application will be approved outside of the rules set forth in our Return & Refund Policy.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

All content found on https://meenabazaar.shop including text, product photos, graphics, logos, page layout and website source code belongs to meenabazaar.shop or our licensed partners. You are forbidden to copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, republish or commercially exploit any website content without our explicit written consent. Web scraping our store for product data, pricing or imagery for third‑party commercial use is prohibited.

Our website and all merchandise including suits, gowns, sarees, lehengas, kurtis and unstitched fabric materials are provided on an “as‑is” and “as‑available” basis, without express or implied warranties to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We do not warrant uninterrupted, error‑free or completely secure website access. This disclaimer shall not override mandatory statutory consumer‑protection rights which cannot be legally excluded under local legislation.

10. Limitation of Liability

Subject to mandatory local consumer‑protection laws, meenabazaar.shop shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages stemming from your website usage or purchased goods, including lost profits, missed savings, wedding‑event‑related inconvenience or secondary losses. Our total aggregate liability for any claim associated with one specific order shall not exceed the total purchase amount you paid for that order. Nothing in these Terms intends to exclude liability for death or personal injury resulting from our proven negligence.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold meenabazaar.shop, its operators, staff and affiliated parties harmless against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and legal costs arising out of your breach of these Terms, improper website usage, violation of laws or third‑party rights, or user‑submitted content you post to our store.

12. Third‑Party Hyperlinks

Our website may contain links leading to external third‑party websites. We exercise no control over external‑site content, security standards or privacy practices. Accessing third‑party links is undertaken entirely at your own risk, and we recommend reviewing each external site’s terms and privacy policy.

13. Policy Modifications

We reserve the right to revise these Terms of Service alongside other store policies at any time. Revised versions will be published on https://meenabazaar.shop with an updated “Last Updated” date. Amendments take effect upon publication. Your continued website browsing or placing new orders after updates signifies your acceptance of revised Terms. Orders completed before policy updates remain governed by the Terms version active at the moment of your original purchase.

14. Severability

Should any clause within these Terms be ruled invalid or unenforceable by a competent judicial authority, all remaining clauses shall stay in full legal force. The invalid provision shall be interpreted in a manner closest to our original business intent.
