Refund and Cancellation Policy

At Harvis Food Products, operating under the brand name ShriTal, customer satisfaction and product quality are important to us.

This Refund and Cancellation Policy explains the conditions under which an order may be cancelled, returned, replaced or refunded.

By purchasing a ShriTal product directly from us, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies only to products purchased directly from Harvis Food Products through:

  • An authorised ShriTal website ordering facility
  • Our official email address or telephone number
  • An authorised ShriTal sales representative
  • Another direct ordering method confirmed by Harvis Food Products

Products purchased through Amazon, another online marketplace, a retailer, distributor, dealer or third-party seller will be governed by that seller’s cancellation, return and refund policy.

Customers should contact the platform or seller through which the original purchase was completed.

2. Order Cancellation by the Customer

You may request cancellation of a direct order before it has been packed, invoiced or dispatched.

To request cancellation, contact us immediately and provide:

  • Customer name
  • Order or invoice number
  • Registered phone number
  • Product details
  • Reason for cancellation

Submitting a cancellation request does not guarantee cancellation. Once an order has been packed, handed over to a delivery partner or dispatched, it may not be possible to cancel it.

3. Cancellation After Dispatch

Orders cannot normally be cancelled after dispatch.

Where a dispatched prepaid order is returned to us because the customer:

  • Refused delivery without a valid reason
  • Provided an incorrect or incomplete address
  • Was unavailable after reasonable delivery attempts
  • Failed to respond to the delivery partner

Any refund approved by us may be issued after deducting applicable shipping, return-shipping, handling or payment-processing costs, to the extent permitted by law.

No deduction will be made where non-delivery occurred because of an error attributable to Harvis Food Products or its authorised delivery partner.

4. Cancellation by Harvis Food Products

We may cancel an order before delivery in circumstances including:

  • Product unavailability
  • Incorrect pricing or product information
  • Payment failure
  • Suspected fraud or unauthorised activity
  • An incomplete or undeliverable address
  • Delivery-service limitations
  • Technical or processing errors
  • Circumstances beyond our reasonable control

If we cancel a prepaid order, the amount received for the cancelled product will be refunded through the original payment method unless another method is agreed with the customer.

5. Food-Safety and Hygiene Restrictions

ShriTal products are packaged food items.

For food-safety and hygiene reasons, products cannot normally be returned or exchanged because of:

  • A change of mind
  • Personal taste preferences
  • An incorrect product selected by the customer
  • A product no longer being required
  • Packaging being opened, used or tampered with after delivery
  • Improper storage after delivery

These restrictions do not apply where a product is defective, damaged, incorrect, expired at the time of delivery or otherwise eligible under applicable consumer law.

6. Products Eligible for Replacement or Refund

You may request a review if you receive:

  • A product different from the product ordered
  • A damaged or leaking package
  • A package with a broken or compromised seal
  • A product that had already expired when delivered
  • A product with a manufacturing or quality defect
  • An incomplete direct order
  • A product that is unsafe or materially different from its description

Eligibility will be determined after reviewing the order information and supporting evidence.

7. Reporting a Problem

Please report an eligible product issue within 48 hours of delivery.

Your request should include:

  • Order or invoice number
  • Customer name and contact details
  • Date of delivery
  • Name and quantity of the affected product
  • A clear description of the issue
  • Photographs or video showing the outer packaging
  • Photographs of the affected product
  • Batch number
  • Manufacturing and expiry dates
  • Shipping label, where applicable

Please retain the product, original packaging and invoice until we complete our review.

Failure to provide sufficient information may delay or prevent us from verifying the request. Nothing in this section limits any right that cannot lawfully be restricted.

8. Inspection and Approval

After receiving your request, our team may:

  • Review the photographs and order records
  • Ask for additional information
  • Request that the product be returned
  • Arrange collection, where available
  • Inspect the product and packaging
  • Verify the batch details with our quality-control team

A replacement or refund will be provided only after the request has been reviewed and approved.

Submitting a request does not automatically guarantee a replacement or refund.

9. Available Resolutions

Depending on the circumstances, product availability and applicable law, we may offer:

  • Replacement of the affected product
  • Replacement with an equivalent product
  • Refund for the affected product
  • Store credit or an adjustment against a future order, with the customer’s agreement
  • Another appropriate resolution agreed with the customer

Where only part of an order is affected, the replacement or refund may be limited to the affected item or quantity.

10. Replacement Conditions

Approved replacements are subject to product and delivery availability.

Where the original product is unavailable, we may offer:

  • A suitable equivalent product
  • Store credit, with your agreement
  • A refund for the affected product

Replacement delivery times may vary depending on the destination, stock availability and delivery-service conditions.

11. Refund Processing

Once a refund is approved, it will normally be initiated within 7 to 10 business days.

Refunds will generally be issued through the original payment method used for the purchase.

The time required for the refunded amount to appear in your account may depend on the bank, card issuer, UPI provider, payment gateway or financial institution.

Harvis Food Products is not responsible for delays caused solely by a bank or payment-service provider after the refund has been successfully initiated.

12. Cash-on-Delivery Orders

For an approved refund relating to a cash-on-delivery order, we may request:

  • Account-holder name
  • Bank account number
  • Bank name
  • IFSC code
  • UPI ID
  • Other information reasonably required to process the refund

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the payment details provided are complete and accurate.

We will never request your card PIN, UPI PIN, online-banking password or one-time password to issue a refund.

13. Shipping Charges

Where a return or replacement is approved because of:

  • An incorrect product supplied by us
  • Damage during delivery
  • A verified manufacturing defect
  • An expired product delivered to the customer


Harvis Food Products will bear reasonable return or replacement shipping costs where return shipping is required.

Original shipping charges may not be refundable where:

  • The correct product was delivered in proper condition
  • The customer provided an incorrect delivery address
  • Delivery was refused without a valid reason
  • The return was requested for a reason not caused by us

Any deductions will be made only where permitted by applicable law.

14. Non-Returnable and Non-Refundable Items

Unless defective or required otherwise by law, the following will generally not qualify for return or refund:

  • Opened or partially consumed products
  • Products with missing or altered labels
  • Products with tampered packaging
  • Products damaged by improper storage
  • Products exposed to heat, moisture or contamination after delivery
  • Products returned without proof of purchase
  • Products purchased from an unauthorised seller
  • Free samples, promotional gifts or complimentary items
  • Products returned after the applicable reporting period without a reasonable explanation
  • Products whose batch or expiry details cannot be verified

15. Third-Party Marketplace Purchases

Products purchased through Amazon or another third-party platform must be cancelled, returned or refunded through that platform.

The third-party platform’s policies will apply to matters including:

  • Order cancellation
  • Return eligibility
  • Replacement
  • Refund timelines
  • Pickup arrangements
  • Shipping charges
  • Marketplace disputes

Harvis Food Products may assist with product-quality verification where appropriate, but we cannot directly process a marketplace payment refund where payment was collected by the third party.

17. Bulk and Business Orders

Bulk, wholesale, dealer, distributor and institutional orders may be governed by separate written commercial terms.

Cancellation of a confirmed bulk order may not be accepted after:

  • Production has started
  • Products have been specially packed
  • Custom labels or packaging have been prepared
  • An invoice has been generated
  • Goods have been dispatched

Any advance payment, cancellation charge, return condition or refund arrangement applicable to a business order will be determined by the relevant quotation, invoice, purchase order or written agreement.

18. Delivery Damage

Customers should inspect the outer package at the time of delivery wherever reasonably possible.

If the package appears severely damaged, open, leaking or tampered with, the customer may:

  • Refuse delivery and record the reason with the delivery partner
  • Take photographs or video of the package
  • Contact us promptly with the order details

Accepting a visibly damaged shipment without recording the issue may make verification more difficult, but it does not remove any right available under applicable law.

19. Incorrect Delivery Information

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate:

  • Recipient name
  • Delivery address
  • Postal code
  • Phone number
  • Email address

We are not responsible for delay, failed delivery or loss caused by incomplete or incorrect information provided by the customer.

Where an order is returned because of incorrect delivery information, re-delivery may be subject to additional shipping charges.

20. Missing Deliveries

If an order is shown as delivered but has not been received, contact us promptly.

Before submitting a claim, customers should check with:

  • Family members
  • Neighbours
  • Building security
  • Reception staff
  • The delivery partner

We may review tracking information and coordinate with the delivery partner before approving a replacement or refund.

21. Abuse of the Policy

We reserve the right to reject a request where we reasonably identify:

  • False or misleading information
  • Altered photographs
  • Repeated unreasonable claims
  • Product tampering
  • Fraudulent activity
  • Misuse of the refund process

This provision will not be used to deny a legitimate consumer claim.

22. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Refund and Cancellation Policy periodically to reflect changes in our products, ordering methods, business practices or legal obligations.

The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

The policy applicable on the date of purchase will generally govern that order, subject to applicable law.
