The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We make every effort to accurately display and describe our jewelry, accessories, and other products through our online store. However, colors, textures, and product appearance may vary depending on your device screen settings and display capabilities.

We do not guarantee that the appearance or quality of products purchased will meet every individual expectation or exactly match the digital images displayed online.

All product descriptions, pricing, availability, and collections are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to discontinue products, limit quantities, or refuse sales to any individual, region, or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.


SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase products from Malgudi Jewels. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our sole discretion.

Orders are not considered accepted until payment has been received and processed successfully and you receive an order confirmation from us.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Once an order has been placed, cancellations or modifications may not be possible.

If we need to modify, refuse, or cancel an order, we may attempt to contact you using the email address, billing information, or phone number provided at checkout.

SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Please note that our order processing time is approximately 7–10 business days from the date the order is placed. While we strive to process all orders within this timeframe, delays may occur during launches, sales periods, holidays, or unforeseen circumstances.

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and order details.

We offer free shipping on eligible U.S. orders over $75 unless otherwise stated.

Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs processing, weather conditions, or events outside our control.

Once your order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.

Tracking information will be emailed once your order ships. Customers are responsible for monitoring shipment tracking and contacting the carrier regarding delivery delays or issues.

We can only ship one order to one shipping address. Separate orders must be placed for shipments going to multiple addresses.

If a shipment is refused or returned to us due to incorrect address information or failed delivery attempts, the customer is responsible for original shipping fees and return shipping costs.
