Terms & Conditions

These terms explain the rules that apply when you browse, create an account, or purchase premium brass products from Shudyam.

Important information

Before using your brass products

Brass naturally changes colour and may develop patina.

Product appearance can vary slightly from website photographs.

Follow the supplied care and usage instructions.

Report damaged or incorrect products within the return-policy period.

Please read these terms carefully before using the Shudyam website. References to “Shudyam”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to the owner and operator of the Shudyam e-commerce platform. References to “you”, “customer”, or “user” refer to any person accessing or purchasing through the website.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or purchasing from the Shudyam website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Return and Refund Policy, and any other policies displayed on our website.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website or place an order with us.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to place an order on our website.

Customers below the age of 18 may use the website only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Customer Account

Certain features may require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activities performed through your account.

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information. Shudyam reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts containing false information or showing suspicious activity.

4. Product Information

We make every reasonable effort to display product descriptions, dimensions, finishes, colours, weights, prices, and images accurately. However, the actual appearance of a product may vary slightly due to lighting, screen settings, manufacturing processes, or photography.

Brass is a natural material. Minor variations in colour, texture, shine, hammering, or finishing are normal and should not be considered manufacturing defects.

Brass products can naturally develop patina or darken over time. This is a normal characteristic of brass and can generally be managed through proper cleaning and care.

5. Pricing and Availability

All prices displayed on the website are in Indian Rupees unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes, delivery charges, and other fees will be shown during checkout.

Product prices, discounts, offers, and availability may change without prior notice. Adding a product to your cart does not reserve the product or guarantee its price.

In case of an incorrect price caused by a technical or human error, we may cancel the order and issue a full refund for any payment already received.

6. Orders and Order Acceptance

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products. An order is considered accepted only after it has been confirmed and processed by Shudyam.

We may cancel or refuse an order in circumstances including:

  • The product is unavailable or out of stock.
  • Payment authorization is unsuccessful.
  • The delivery address is incomplete or unsupported.
  • Pricing or product information is incorrect.
  • Fraudulent or suspicious activity is detected.
  • The quantity ordered appears intended for unauthorized resale.

If a prepaid order is cancelled by us, the eligible amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

7. Payments

Available payment methods may include cards, UPI, net banking, supported wallets, cash on delivery, or other options shown during checkout.

Online payments are processed through third-party payment gateways. Shudyam does not directly store complete card, UPI PIN, or banking credentials.

Customers must ensure that they are authorized to use the selected payment method. Additional bank or payment-provider charges, if any, are the customer's responsibility.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Estimated delivery timelines are provided for convenience and may vary based on product availability, destination, courier operations, weather, public holidays, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and contact number. Additional delivery charges may apply when an order needs to be reshipped due to incorrect customer information or repeated failed delivery attempts.

Ownership and risk associated with the product pass to the customer after successful delivery.

9. Delivery Inspection

Please inspect the package at the time of delivery. If the outer packaging appears opened, damaged, or tampered with, you may refuse the delivery or record an unboxing video before opening it.

Claims involving damaged, defective, missing, or incorrect products should be reported within the period mentioned in our Return and Refund Policy.

Photos, videos, packaging labels, invoices, and other supporting information may be required to verify a claim.

10. Returns, Exchanges and Refunds

Returns, exchanges, cancellations, and refunds are governed by our Return and Refund Policy available on the website.

Products must generally be returned unused, unwashed, undamaged, and in their original packaging with all labels, accessories, manuals, and invoices.

Products damaged due to misuse, improper cleaning, accidental damage, normal brass oxidation, or failure to follow care instructions may not qualify for a return, exchange, or refund.

11. Brass Product Care

Customers must follow the care, cleaning, and usage instructions supplied with the product or displayed on the website.

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners unless specifically recommended for the product.
  • Do not expose handles, coatings, joints, or decorative finishes to unsuitable heat or chemicals.
  • Confirm whether the product is suitable for gas, induction, electric, oven, or dishwasher use before using it.
  • Do not store acidic food in unlined brass utensils for extended periods.

Shudyam will not be responsible for damage caused by improper use, storage, cleaning, maintenance, overheating, or unauthorized repair.

12. Warranty

A product warranty applies only when expressly stated on the product page, packaging, invoice, or warranty document.

Unless otherwise specified, warranties do not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dents caused after delivery, discolouration, natural patina, accidental damage, misuse, commercial use, or damage caused by improper cleaning.

13. Offers, Coupons and Promotions

Discount codes and promotional offers may be subject to minimum order values, product restrictions, expiry dates, usage limits, and other conditions.

Unless expressly permitted, multiple offers cannot be combined. Shudyam may modify, suspend, or withdraw an offer if misuse, duplication, technical error, or fraudulent activity is identified.

14. Prohibited Use

You must not use the website to:

  • Engage in unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful activities.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to our systems or customer accounts.
  • Upload malware, harmful scripts, or disruptive code.
  • Copy, scrape, reproduce, or commercially exploit website content.
  • Submit false reviews, claims, identities, or payment information.
  • Interfere with the security or normal operation of the website.

15. Intellectual Property

All website content, including the Shudyam name, logo, product photography, videos, text, graphics, packaging, designs, icons, and website layout, is owned by or licensed to Shudyam.

You grant Shudyam a non-exclusive right to display, reproduce, edit, and use submitted content for website, customer-support, and marketing purposes.

We may remove content that is abusive, misleading, irrelevant, unlawful, promotional, or otherwise inappropriate.

17. Third-Party Services

Our website may use or link to third-party services, including payment gateways, courier partners, analytics providers, and social media platforms.

These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Shudyam is not responsible for the independent practices, content, or availability of third-party platforms.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Shudyam will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from website use, delivery delays, product misuse, loss of data, or third-party services.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, our total liability will generally be limited to the amount paid for the product related to the claim.

Nothing in these terms excludes any consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

19. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and protect Shudyam, its owners, employees, representatives, and service providers against claims, damages, losses, or expenses resulting from your unlawful use of the website, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.

Your personal information is collected and handled according to our Privacy Policy. By using the website, you consent to the processing of your information as described in that policy.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions when our products, services, legal requirements, or business practices change.

Updated terms become effective when published on this page. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

22. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts located where Shudyam's registered office is situated, unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
