OVERVIEW

Welcome to Iliós Tea Studio®.

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website, products, and services. Throughout these Terms, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Iliós Tea Studio.

By accessing our website or purchasing from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return & Refund Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue the use of our website.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the revised Effective Date.


OUR PRODUCTS

We strive to present our products, descriptions, and images as accurately as possible. However, colours and product appearance may vary depending on your device settings.

As our teas are natural agricultural products, variations in leaf appearance, colour, aroma, and flavour between harvests are normal and do not constitute a defect.

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any product without prior notice.


 ORDERS

By placing an order, you are making an offer to purchase our products. Orders are accepted only after payment has been successfully processed and your order has been confirmed.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order due to product unavailability, pricing errors, suspected fraudulent activity, or any other legitimate reason. If payment has already been received, the applicable amount will be refunded.

All purchases are subject to our Return & Refund Policy.


PRICING & BILLING

All prices are displayed in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.

Prices, promotions, and product availability may change without prior notice.

You agree to provide accurate and complete billing, shipping, and payment information for all purchases made through our website.

Payments are processed securely through our authorised payment partners. Iliós Tea Studio does not store your complete debit or credit card details.


SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Orders are processed in accordance with our Shipping Policy.

Delivery timelines are estimates only and may be affected by courier operations, weather conditions, public holidays, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Once an order has been handed over to the courier partner, the responsibility for delivery rests with the carrier.

Orders are generally processed and dispatched within 1–2 business days after payment confirmation, excluding Sundays and public holidays.

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a Shipment Confirmation Email containing your tracking details. Your tracking number may take up to 24 hours to become active.
