The Website is owned and operated by Karcher Cleaning Systems Private Limited, a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 (as amended from time to time) vide CIN- U29142DL2011PTC214243, having its Registered Office at Level 4, B-Wing, Statesmen House Building, Barakhamba Road, Connaught Place New Delhi 110001 (hereinafter referred to as “Company” or “Karcher” or “us” or “our” or “we”, which expression shall, unless it be repugnant to the context or meaning thereof, include its successors and assigns).

Our Website is only intended for use by people resident in India. We do not accept orders from individuals outside India. By placing an order through our Website, you warrant that: (a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and (b) you are at least 18 years old; and (c) you are resident in India; and (d) you are accessing our Website from India.

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we dispatch the Product.

We may also provide links on our Website to the websites of other sellers, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that sellers to whose website(s) we have provided a link on our Website will be able to fulfil your order or that any Products purchased from such sellers will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are ‘DISCLAIMED’ by us absolutely.

5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 9 below). 5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products unless it is non-returnable Product (like a detergent or chemical) to us as soon as reasonably practicable after informing us of the cancellation, and at your own cost. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any detergents or chemicals if the container seal has been broken or tampered with. 5.3 Details of your statutory right of cancellation, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided at the Website. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer. 5.4 It shall be your duty at all times to completely understand the nature of the Product intended to buy and purchase the right Product for the appropriate use. For example, the customer must not purchase a Product sold under the segment ‘Homes and Garden’ for professional applications.

We always aim to dispatch all Products in stock within 4 to 5 working days. The maximum India delivery time for Products is 30 days from acceptance of your order unless specifically agreed with you in writing.

7.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. 7.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

8.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. 8.2 Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already dispatched the Products. 8.3 Our Website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. 8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have dispatched the Product, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error. 8.6 Payment for all Products must be by payment options available at the Website. Your card may be charged as per applicable policy before we dispatch your order.

9.1 If you return a Product to us: (a) because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the fourteen-day cooling-off period (see clause 5.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you gave notice of cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. (b) for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 19 that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of any refund due via phone or e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. If we opt to refund the price of a defective Product under clause 10.2, we will refund the price of the Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. 9.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. 9.3 As there is a flat charge for delivery we will not refund delivery charges where you only return part of an order.

10.1 Subject to clauses 10.3 to 10.5 below, we warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our Website other than detergents and chemicals will, on delivery and for the following 12 months, conform in all material respects with its description, be of satisfactory quality, and be reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied. 10.2 We will at our option repair, replace or refund the price of Products which you notify us are defective within the time limits set out in clauses 10.3 and 10.4. 10.3 You must notify any defect to us as soon as possible and in any event: (a) within 28 days of receipt of the relevant Product; or(b) if later, within 28 days of the date on which the defect becomes apparent. 10.4 If you believe that any detergent or chemical is damaged on delivery, you must notify us within 7 days of delivery. 10.5 This warranty shall not apply to defects caused by misuse, neglect, accident, improper storage, installation or handling, frost damage, repair or alteration not carried out or authorised by us or the use of incorrect electrical supply voltage, contaminated water supply or unsuitable chemicals.

11.1 If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we shall only be liable to you for the purchase price of the Products and, subject to clause 11.2, any losses that you suffer as a result of our failure to comply (whether arising in contract, tort [including negligence], breach of statutory duty or otherwise) which are a foreseeable consequence of such failure. 11.2 We will not be liable for losses that result from our failure to comply with these terms and conditions that fall into the following: (a) loss of income or revenue;(b) loss of business;(c) loss of profits;(d) loss of anticipated savings;(e) loss of data; or(f) waste of management or office time. 11.3 Where you buy any Product from a third party seller to whose site we have provided a link, the seller's individual liability will be set out in the seller's terms and conditions.

15.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event). 15.2 A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following: (a) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; (b) civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; (c) fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster; (d) impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; (e) impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and(f) the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government. 15.3 Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

16.1 If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of our obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. 16.2 A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. 16.3 No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with clause 13 above.

If any of these terms and Conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19.1 We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities. 19.2 You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order products from us, unless any change to those policies or these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before we dispatch the Product (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within fourteen days of receipt by you of the Products).
