Returns & Refunds Policy
VidCo — Cancellations, returns, replacements and refunds
Effective date: 2 August 2026 Last updated: 2 August 2026
Operated by: RAPIDSELL SOLUTION PRIVATE LIMITED
1. Overview
This Returns & Refunds Policy explains how cancellations, returns, replacements and refunds work on the VidCo platform, including the VidCo mobile applications (customer, merchant and delivery-partner apps) and any associated websites (collectively, the "Platform"). It forms part of the Terms of Service. Because VidCo is a marketplace, individual Merchants are the sellers of the products; return eligibility may vary by product category and is described at or before checkout.
2. Order Cancellations
- You may cancel an Order free of charge before it is dispatched, subject to the cancellation window shown for the Order.
- Once an Order has been dispatched, it generally cannot be cancelled; you may instead request a return after delivery where the product is eligible.
- Merchants may cancel an Order where a product is out of stock, mispriced, or cannot be fulfilled; in such cases any amount paid is refunded in full.
- Return Reasons Matrix
Reason | Return | Replacement | Refund |
|---|---|---|---|
Wrong Item | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Damaged | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Defective | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Missing Parts | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Changed Mind | Depends on category | No | Depends |

3. Eligibility for Returns
To be eligible for a return, unless a longer period is stated for the product:
- the return must be requested within the return window shown for the product (for example, within a stated number of days from delivery);
- the item must be unused, in its original condition, with all tags, labels, accessories, free items and original packaging intact; and
- you must provide proof of purchase and, where requested, images of the item.
- Open Box Delivery
If customer accepts Open Box Delivery:
• visible damage should be reported immediately
• later claims for visible damage may be rejected
4. Damaged, Defective, Wrong or Missing Items
If you receive an item that is damaged, defective, not as described, expired, or different from what you ordered, or if items are missing from your Order, please report it promptly (ideally within 48 hours of delivery) with supporting images. Eligible cases qualify for a free replacement or a full refund, including any delivery charges paid, at your option where available.
- Video Evidence, customers to record:
package opening
damaged goods
missing accessories
videos help investigation but are not always mandatory.
5. Non-Returnable Items
Certain items are non-returnable for reasons of hygiene, safety, perishability or legal restriction, except where they are damaged, defective or wrongly delivered. These may include, depending on the product:
- perishable goods such as fresh food, groceries, bakery and flowers;
- personal-care, hygiene, innerwear and cosmetic items where the seal is broken;
- made-to-order, customised or personalised products;
- digital products, services and vouchers once delivered or redeemed; and
- items expressly marked "non-returnable" on the product page.

6. How to Initiate a Return
- Go to your Orders in the app and select the item you wish to return or replace.
- Choose the reason for the return and, where prompted, upload supporting images.
- Submit the request. You will receive updates on approval and pickup.
Return requests are subject to review and approval based on the eligibility conditions above.
7. Return Pickup and Inspection
Where a return is approved, the item will be picked up from your delivery address or you may be asked to hand it to the Delivery Partner. After the item is received, it will be inspected to confirm it meets the return conditions. If the item does not meet the conditions, the return may be declined and the item returned to you.
8. Refunds
Once a return is approved (or a cancellation is processed), refunds are issued as follows:
Payment method | Refund method and timeline |
|---|---|
Online payment (UPI, card, netbanking, wallet) | Refunded to the original payment method, typically within 5–7 business days of approval, subject to your bank/provider. |
Cash on Delivery (COD) | Refunded to your bank account or, where offered and chosen by you, to VidCo Coins/wallet, typically within 5–7 business days of approval. |
VidCo Coins used on the Order | Coins used are credited back to your account; any promotional value may be reinstated per programme rules. |
Actual credit timelines depend on your bank or payment provider. Delivery charges are refunded only where the return is due to a damaged, defective, wrong or mis-described item, or a Merchant cancellation.
9. Replacements and Exchanges
Where a replacement or exchange is available and selected, it is subject to stock availability. If a replacement cannot be provided, a refund will be issued instead.
10. Digital Products and Services
Digital products, subscriptions and services are generally non-refundable once delivered, activated or redeemed, except where required by applicable law or where the product is faulty or not as described.
11. Roles and Responsibilities
Merchants are responsible for honouring this Policy for their products. VidCo facilitates the returns and refunds process and may, at its discretion and to protect Buyers, mediate disputes and process refunds from amounts held on the Merchant's behalf.
12. Grievances
If you are not satisfied with the handling of a return or refund, contact us at support@vidco.in, or escalate to our Grievance Officer at grievance@vidco.in. We will address complaints within the timelines prescribed under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
