  • You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide (name, phone number, order details) and for maintaining the confidentiality of any OTP or session used to access your account.
  • We may verify your identity by phone number (OTP) and may refuse service, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion, including on suspicion of fraud, abuse, or misuse of promotions or the wallet.

2. Orders

  • All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We may refuse or cancel any order at our sole discretion, including for stock unavailability, pricing/menu errors, suspected fraud, or operational constraints, in which case any amount already collected will be handled per our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
  • Menu items, prices, images, descriptions, and availability are indicative and may change without prior notice. Images are for representation only and actual presentation may vary.
  • Estimated preparation, pickup, or delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by factors outside our reasonable control (traffic, weather, third-party delivery partners, force majeure, technical failures, etc.).
  • It is your responsibility to check the order summary, item customizations, and allergen information before confirming payment. Once an order is placed and preparation has begun, it cannot be modified.

3. Pricing and payment

  • Prices displayed are in Indian Rupees (₹) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise, and may change at any time without notice for future orders.
  • If a pricing, tax, or calculation error occurs, we reserve the right to correct it and to cancel or refuse to honour an order placed at an incorrect price, refunding any amount collected.
  • Payments are processed through third-party payment gateways/aggregators (including PhonePe and Paytm) and, where applicable, Firebase (Google) for authentication.
