Refund Policy
Last updated: 4 May 2026
We want every Clthwork order to land right. When something goes wrong, this policy explains when you are eligible for a refund, how we calculate it, and how long it takes.
1. Cancellation by you
- Before pickup: Cancel for free up until the rider is dispatched. A 100% refund is initiated immediately.
- After pickup: If the order has been picked up and processing has not started, we issue a refund less the pickup & logistics fee (typically ₹49).
- After processing has started: The order is no longer cancellable, but you can still raise a quality complaint.
2. Missed service window
If we miss the promised delivery window by more than 24 hours for standard service (or the SLA stated for express service) without a valid reason, you are eligible for a service-fee waiver of up to 20% of the order value, credited to Clthwork Wallet or refunded to source on request.
3. Quality complaints
- Raise a complaint within 48 hours of delivery via the order screen or by writing to [email protected].
- Re-cleaning is offered free of charge for stain or finish issues that fall within the partner shop’s service scope.
- If re-cleaning is not viable or the issue persists, we issue a partial or full refund based on the assessment.
4. Damage or loss
Damage or loss claims must be raised within 7 days of delivery. We investigate with the partner shop and respond within 5 business days. Compensation is capped per the liability clause in our Terms of Service.
5. Refund timelines
- Clthwork Wallet: Instant.
- UPI: 1–2 business days.
- Cards / Net banking: 5–7 business days, depending on your bank.
- Cash on delivery orders: Refunded to Clthwork Wallet, or to a bank account on request.
6. Non-refundable items
- Convenience or platform fees on completed orders.
- Tipping or gratuity given to delivery partners.
- Add-ons that have already been used (e.g. express upgrade once dispatch has started).
