1. Scope of This Policy
This Return Policy applies to all products purchased directly from ORA Water — including bulk supply orders, custom-label programs, and retail purchases made through our website or our authorised shop. It does not apply to orders fulfilled by third-party resellers or distributors operating independently.
2. Eligibility for Returns
A return or replacement may be requested under the following conditions:
- Damaged on delivery: bottles or packaging that arrived visibly damaged, crushed, or unsealed.
- Defective product: verifiable quality issue such as unusual taste, odour, or visible contamination — supported by a photo or video.
- Incorrect shipment: wrong product variant, size, or quantity delivered compared to the confirmed order.
- Short shipment: fewer units delivered than invoiced, confirmed against the delivery note.
Return requests must be raised within 48 hours of delivery. Claims raised after this window may not be accepted unless a latent defect is clearly demonstrated.
3. Non-Returnable Items
The following are not eligible for return or refund under any circumstances:
- Custom-label orders: bottles printed with client-specific label artwork cannot be restocked or resold.
- Opened or consumed products: any bottle that has been opened, consumed, or tampered with after delivery.
- Correct and undamaged orders: products delivered in full, in correct condition, per the confirmed purchase order.
- Change of mind: order cancellations requested after dispatch has been initiated.
- Improper storage damage: deterioration caused by storage conditions not meeting our handling guidelines (e.g., heat exposure, direct sunlight).
4. Custom Label Orders
Custom-label water bottle orders involve design proofing, label printing, and dedicated production runs that begin upon order confirmation and advance payment. Once production is initiated, cancellations and returns are not accepted.
In the event of a printing defect or label quality issue that is our fault, we will arrange a replacement print run at no additional cost. Photo evidence of the defect must be submitted within 48 hours of delivery.
5. How to Initiate a Return
To raise a return or replacement request, follow these steps:
- Email info@orawater.in with subject line: Return Request – [Your Order ID]
- Include clear photos or a short video showing the damage, defect, or discrepancy.
- Provide your order confirmation number, delivery date, and contact number.
- Our team will acknowledge your request within 1 business day and confirm next steps.
Do not return products without prior written confirmation from our team. Unauthorised returns may not be accepted.
6. Inspection & Resolution
Once a return request is submitted with supporting evidence, our quality team will review it within 2–3 business days. We may request additional photos or arrange a courier pickup of the affected units for inspection. Based on the outcome, we will offer one of the following:
- Replacement: a fresh shipment of the same product at no additional cost.
- Credit note: a credit applied to your next order for the value of the affected units.
- Refund: where replacement is not viable, a refund will be processed per Section 7.
7. Refunds
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method used at the time of purchase. Refund timelines are as follows:
- Bank transfer / NEFT / RTGS: 5–7 business days from approval.
- UPI / online payment: 3–5 business days from approval.
- Cheque payments: a cheque will be issued within 7 business days.
Shipping charges incurred on the original order are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (wrong or defective product).
8. Cancellation Policy
Order cancellations are subject to the following conditions:
- Before dispatch: cancellations requested before dispatch confirmation will receive a full refund or credit, less any advance label printing costs already incurred.
- After dispatch: cancellations are not accepted once the order is in transit. You may raise a return request upon delivery if a valid reason applies.
- Recurring / subscription orders: cancellations for recurring supply agreements must be communicated at least 5 business days before the next scheduled dispatch.
9. Bulk & B2B Orders
For bulk supply and B2B partnerships, return and replacement terms may be governed by the specific supply agreement or purchase order terms agreed between ORA Water and the partner. In the absence of a specific agreement, this policy applies in full.
B2B partners experiencing recurring quality concerns are encouraged to contact their dedicated ORA Water account contact directly for escalated resolution.
10. Governing Law
This Return Policy is governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from return or refund requests shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Gujarat, India. ORA Water reserves the right to update this policy at any time; the revised version will be effective from the date of publication on this page.
