Cancellation by Buyer

As a rule, Buyer shall not be entitled to cancel Order once placed. All Orders once placed cannot be cancelled. In the event the Buyer wishes to cancel their Order, no refund shall be issued.

If Buyer cancels his/her Order after one minute of placing it, Dooze shall have a right to collect a penalty of 100% of the Order amount for breach of contract terms as a compensation for the damages suffered by Dooze, with a right to either not to refund the Order value in case Buyer’s Order is prepaid or recover from the Buyer’s subsequent Order in case his/her Order is post-paid, to compensate the Merchants and/or Retailers.

Cancellation by Dooze

In case Dooze cancels the Order for any reason other than those mentioned below, Dooze shall be responsible to bear those charges and/or loss caused due to cancellation.

  • Buyer fails to comply or provide the correct OTP for verification.

In such an event Buyer will be entitled to cancel the entire Order and shall be entitled to a refund to an amount up to 100% of the Order value.

In case of cancellations for the reasons attributable to Dooze or the Merchant, Dooze shall not collect any penalty from the Buyer.
