Welcome to Astam Sutra. These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, products, services, and any purchases made through our online store.

By accessing, browsing, or placing an order through our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

About Astam Sutra

Astam Sutra is a lifestyle and home décor brand offering handcrafted and thoughtfully designed products, including home textiles, bedding, table linen, cushions, towels, bags, accessories, décor products, and other artisanal merchandise.

Throughout these Terms & Conditions, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Astam Sutra” refer to the business operating this website. The terms “you,” “your,” and “customer” refer to any person accessing the website or purchasing our products.

Eligibility to Use the Website

By using this website, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law.

If you are accessing or purchasing from the website on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms & Conditions.

Product Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, dimensions, colors, materials, specifications, and pricing displayed on the website are accurate.

However, many Astam Sutra products are handcrafted, hand block printed, hand embroidered, handwoven, naturally dyed, or made using traditional artisanal processes. Because of this, minor variations in color, print placement, stitching, pattern, texture, weave, finish, dimensions, or detailing may occur.

Such variations are inherent to handcrafted products and should not be considered manufacturing defects.

Product colors may also appear slightly different depending on screen settings, device displays, lighting conditions, and photography.

Product Availability

All products are subject to availability.

We reserve the right to:

  • Limit the quantity of products available for purchase
  • Discontinue any product without prior notice
  • Modify product specifications, packaging, or presentation
  • Cancel an order if a product becomes unavailable
  • Correct any pricing, stock, or listing errors

If a product becomes unavailable after you place an order, we will contact you and arrange an appropriate refund or alternative solution.

Pricing

All prices displayed on our website are listed in the applicable currency and may include applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.

We reserve the right to change product prices at any time without prior notice.

The price applicable to your order will be the price displayed at the time the order is successfully placed, subject to correction of any obvious technical or pricing error.

Shipping charges, taxes, duties, and other applicable charges, where relevant, will be displayed before checkout or communicated separately.

Orders

Placing an order on our website constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.

An order is considered accepted only after we confirm the order and successfully process the payment, where applicable.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for reasons including:

  • Product unavailability
  • Incorrect product information or pricing
  • Payment failure
  • Suspected fraudulent activity
  • Incorrect customer information

If payment has already been collected for a cancelled order, the applicable amount will be refunded according to our refund process.

Additional delivery charges may apply if an order must be re-shipped because of incorrect, incomplete, or unavailable delivery details provided by the customer.

International Orders

For international purchases, customers may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, local levies, and other charges imposed by the destination country.

These charges are not generally included in the product or shipping price unless specifically mentioned.

Astam Sutra is not responsible for customs delays or additional charges imposed by local authorities.

Returns, Exchanges & Refunds

Returns, exchanges, and refunds are governed by our separate Return & Refund Policy.

Customers should review the applicable policy before completing a purchase.

Certain categories, customized products, clearance products, personalized items, or hygiene-sensitive products may be non-returnable where clearly stated.

Order Cancellation

Order cancellation requests should be submitted as soon as possible.

Orders that have already been processed, packed, dispatched, customized, or handed over to the courier may not be eligible for cancellation.

Where cancellation is approved, any applicable refund will be processed through the original payment method according to our refund timelines.
