Disputes & Resolutions

Policy Almost all the transactions are completed smoothly on Ruhin. However, there may be some instances where both the Buyers may face some challenges. Ruhin has a Dispute Resolution policy in order to resolve such disputes between the Buyers and Ruhin. A ‘Dispute’ can be defined as a disagreement between a Buyer and Seller regarding a transaction on the Website. Disputes arise out of an issue, which is raised by either party (the Ruhin or the buyer) not being completely satisfied with the resolution of their complaint/issue. However, it is important that the Buyer/Ruhin should attempt to solve the issue before raising a dispute. Whenever there is a disagreement, the Buyer can write to customercare@ruhineducation.com, in case of a dispute.

Some of the instances where a dispute can arise include:

  • Wrong Item received
  • Item Received Not as per the Product Description
  • Damaged or Seal broken on Product
  • Description/Specification is Wrong
  • Part/Accessory missing
  • Defective: Functional issues with the Product
  • Item not Compatible
  • Product not working and Manufacturer claims invalid Invoice.

In case a Buyer raises a dispute, then Ruhin will try to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is resolved in favour of the Buyer, a refund is provided once the product is returned to Ruhin. If the dispute is settled in favour of the Ruhin, Buyer is not entitled to any refund.
