Cancellation Policy
This policy outlines the terms for cancellations on purchases made through the Aartdeco website. By placing an order, you agree to the terms set out below and in our Terms & Conditions.
If you have a concern about an order, please contact us first at aartdeco@aarto.in before initiating any formal process. We are a small team and we would always prefer to resolve things directly.

The table below provides a high-level summary of our policy. Full details for each scenario follow in the sections below.
Each scenario below is listed with its eligibility, followed by the resolution that applies.

No Cancellation Once Confirmed
We operate on a strict, no cancellation policy. Once an order has been confirmed, it cannot be cancelled. An order is considered confirmed once you receive an order confirmation email from us.
As our products are handcrafted and prepared for dispatch shortly after confirmation, we are unable to accommodate cancellation requests once the fulfilment process has begun. We therefore recommend reviewing your order details, including product selection, quantity, and shipping information, carefully before completing your purchase.
Errors Made at Checkout
If you notice an error in your order, such as an incorrect shipping address, product selection, or duplicate order, please contact us at aartdeco@aarto.in as soon as possible.
While we will make every effort to update your order before dispatch, we cannot guarantee changes once the fulfilment process has begun. If the order has already been packed or dispatched, modifications may not be possible.
If we ship an item that does not match your order, it will be handled in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Cancellations Initiated by Aartdeco
We reserve the right to cancel an order if a product becomes unavailable, a pricing or product information error is identified, payment cannot be processed, the delivery location is unserviceable, or we reasonably suspect fraudulent or unauthorized activity.
If an order is cancelled by us, you will be notified via email and any amount paid will be refunded in full to your original payment method.
No Cancellation After Dispatch
Once an order has been dispatched and a tracking number has been issued, the order cannot be cancelled under any circumstances. If you no longer wish to keep the item after delivery, any return request will be subject to our Returns & Refunds Policy. Please note that returns based on a change of mind are not accepted.
