This Disclaimer outlines the limitations and conditions under which Thriftzyade operates. By using our website or placing an order, you acknowledge and agree to the terms stated below. If you have any questions, reach out to us at info@thriftzyade.com
01 — Overview
About this disclaimer
Thriftzyade is an online marketplace for preloved luxury and fashion items. The information provided on our website — including product descriptions, condition gradings, pricing, and imagery — is provided in good faith and to the best of our knowledge at the time of listing.
However, given the nature of preloved goods, certain limitations apply. This Disclaimer is intended to be transparent about those limitations so you can shop with full knowledge and confidence.
We carefully curate, inspect, and grade every item we list. Our goal is always to give you the most accurate and honest description possible — but preloved is preloved, and imperfections are part of its story.
02 — Preloved Items
Nature of preloved goods
All items listed on Thriftzyade are previously owned unless explicitly marked as "New with Tags" (NWT). Preloved items may show signs of prior use including but not limited to:
- Minor scuffs, scratches, or wear — especially on leather goods, shoe soles, and hardware
- Slight fading or softening of fabric — natural with age and washing
- Small marks or light staining — disclosed in product description where visible
- Missing original tags or dustbags — noted in listings where applicable
- Odour from storage — items are aired before dispatch but may carry faint storage notes
We use a standardised grading system (Excellent / Very Good / Good / Fair) to communicate each item's condition. Descriptions are written in good faith, but condition is inherently subjective.
If you receive an item and feel the condition was materially misrepresented in the listing, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery at info@thriftzyade.com. We will review and resolve the issue on a case-by-case basis.
03 — Accuracy of Information
Product descriptions & details
We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions, measurements, materials, and condition gradings are accurate and complete. However:
- Measurements are taken manually and may have a variance of ±1–2 cm
- Fabric composition is based on care labels or brand information — we do not independently test material content
- Item histories (previous owner, purchase date, etc.) are not always known and are not guaranteed
- Brand identification is done to the best of our knowledge for untagged items, but is not guaranteed for items without original labels
We strongly encourage you to review all provided photos and description carefully before purchasing. If you need additional details or photos, please contact us before placing your order.
04 — Pricing & Availability
Prices, stock, and errors
Since each preloved item at Thriftzyade is a one-of-a-kind piece, all items are available in a single unit only. Once sold, a listing is removed from the website.
- All prices are listed in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise
- Prices are subject to change without notice until an order is confirmed and payment is received
- In the event of a pricing error on our website, we reserve the right to cancel the order and offer a full refund
- Promotional or sale prices are valid for the stated period only and cannot be applied retroactively
If an item is shown as available but has already sold, we will contact you within 24 hours to cancel and refund your order in full. This rarely happens but may occur in high-demand periods.
05 — Colours & Images
Colour representation & photography
We photograph our items in natural or studio lighting to represent colours as accurately as possible. However:
- Colours may appear slightly different depending on your device screen settings, brightness, and display calibration
- Some fabrics (silks, satins, metallics) can look different under different lighting conditions — we always include multiple angles
- Close-up detail shots are included to show texture and condition — please zoom in and review all images before purchasing
We cannot accept returns based solely on colour perception differences between the listing images and the physical item, as this falls within the natural variation of screen-to-screen display.
06 — Third-Party Links
External websites & services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services (for example, our payment gateway Razorpay, social media platforms, or courier tracking pages). These links are provided for your convenience only.
- Thriftzyade has no control over the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party site
- Visiting any external link is entirely at your own risk
- We do not endorse the content of any third-party websites linked from our platform
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of any third-party service you interact with through our platform.
07 — Limitation of Liability
What we are responsible for
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Thriftzyade shall not be liable for:
- Any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from the use of our website or products
- Loss of data, revenue, or reputation arising from your use of or inability to use our services
- Delays or failures in delivery caused by courier partners, natural events, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control
- Technical errors, downtime, or interruptions to our website
Nothing in this disclaimer limits your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India). We remain committed to handling all genuine concerns fairly and promptly.
Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by this disclaimer. If you believe we have failed to meet our legal obligations, you may contact the consumer forum in your jurisdiction.
08 — Authenticity
Verification of luxury & branded items
Where items are listed as branded or designer, we carry out manual authentication checks based on available hardware, stitching, serial numbers, labels, and brand-specific markers.
- We do not use third-party authentication services unless specifically stated in the listing
- Authentication is based on our team's expertise and publicly available brand verification information
- For high-value items, we strongly recommend independent third-party authentication before purchase
- If you have concerns about authenticity after receiving an item, contact us within 48 hours of delivery
We do not knowingly list counterfeit items. Any item found to be counterfeit after our checks will be removed from sale immediately. Intentional misrepresentation of goods is against our principles and Indian consumer law.
09 — Changes to this Disclaimer
How this disclaimer may change
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, legal requirements, or the nature of our listings. When we do:
- The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised
- Significant changes that affect your rights will be communicated via email to registered users
- Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer
We recommend checking this page periodically if you are a regular customer. Your continued use of Thriftzyade after any changes are posted will constitute your acknowledgement of the changes.
