Terms & Conditions

General Policies & Service Guidelines

The following terms govern products, pricing, order acceptance, substitutions, delivery processes, payments, and post-delivery support.

1. Products and Pricing

All products displayed on the Website, including descriptions and prices, are subject to change from time to time based on market and operational conditions.
Purchase of any product is subject to stock availability at the time of processing.
APSgifts reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the sale of any product or service at its sole discretion, with or without prior notice.
If a product/service is listed with an incorrect price or inaccurate information due to typographical error or supplier mismatch, APSgifts may cancel or decline the order even after confirmation.
In case payment has already been received for a cancelled order, the amount will be refunded to the original payment mode or wallet as applicable.
Product specifications such as weight, size, and colour shown on the Website are approximate and may have minor variations in actual delivery.

2. Orders and Acceptance of Orders

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase, which is subject to acceptance by APSgifts.
An order confirmation via email/SMS/push notification does not automatically imply final acceptance of the order.
APSgifts may accept, decline, or cancel an order (fully or partially) at any time for operational or compliance reasons.
Additional verification or information may be requested prior to acceptance.
Customers must provide accurate recipient details and complete delivery address.
If an order is cancelled after payment, the customer’s remedy will be either:
- Refund of the cancelled portion if already charged, or
- No charge for the cancelled portion if payment was not processed.
We accept multiple payment methods including cards, PayPal, digital wallets, loyalty points, and COD. All third-party gateways operate under their own terms and conditions.

3. Substitution Policy

Floral arrangements are handmade and may vary slightly from the Website images. Substitution may be necessary due to temporary or regional unavailability.
Cakes are handcrafted; minor design/shape variations may occur due to individual chef styles or local bakery factors.
Where substitution is required, items of equal or higher value will be delivered, closely matching the original description.
In case of unavailability at a specific location, products may be substituted with similar items of comparable value.
During festival periods, if a selected gift is out of stock, an alternate option may be emailed. If no response is received within 24 hours, a suitable replacement will be dispatched to avoid delay.

4. Order Modification / Cancellation

Same-day orders are processed immediately and generally cannot be modified or cancelled.
For urgent changes, customers may contact support at +91-8882570131 (08:00–21:30, all days). Modification/cancellation is possible only if preparation or dispatch has not begun.
Once an order is prepared or dispatched, it cannot be modified or cancelled and will be chargeable.
For all other order changes, customers must provide at least 24 hours’ prior notice.

5. Order & Delivery Confirmation

After placing an order, you will receive an Order Confirmation email and SMS containing order details and your order number.
