Return, Refund & Replacement Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to Herbal Samrat International Co. (“Herbal Samrat,” “Company,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our“).

This Return, Refund & Replacement Policy (“Policy“) explains the terms, conditions, procedures, and limitations governing requests for product returns, refunds, replacements, exchanges, damaged shipments, missing items, incorrect deliveries, and related claims.

7. General Principles
Herbal Samrat International Co. endeavors to resolve genuine customer concerns fairly, transparently, and within a reasonable time.
However:
- A return, refund, or replacement is not automatic merely because a request has been submitted.
- Every claim is subject to verification, investigation, and approval under this Policy.
- Customers may be required to provide documents, photographs, videos, invoices, shipment details, or any other reasonable information requested by the Company.
- The Company reserves the right to approve, reject, partially approve, or seek additional information for any claim, subject to applicable law.
The submission of a claim does not create an obligation on the Company to approve that claim until the verification process has been completed.
8. General Return Principles
Herbal Samrat International Co. endeavors to supply products in proper condition, securely packaged, and in accordance with the customer’s confirmed order.
However, because many of the Company’s products relate to healthcare, hygiene, and male sexual wellness, not every product shall be eligible for return.
A request for return shall be considered only after verification by the Company and only where the request satisfies the eligibility criteria set out in this Policy.
Approval of one return request shall not create any obligation to approve future requests under similar circumstances.
9. Return Eligibility
Subject to verification and applicable law, a return request may be considered where, upon delivery, the customer receives:
- A damaged product;
- A physically defective product;
- A product that is materially different from the confirmed order;
- A wrong product;
- A missing product (where supported by satisfactory evidence);
- A short quantity or incomplete shipment;
- A product received in a tampered or unsealed condition;
- A product that is expired at the time of delivery;
- A product rendered unusable due to shipping damage; or
- Any other circumstance which the Company reasonably determines to be eligible for return.
The customer may be required to provide documentary evidence, photographs, a valid invoice, shipment details, and a compliant unboxing video before any claim is evaluated.
10. Non-Returnable Products
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the following products or circumstances are generally not eligible for return, refund, or replacement:

- Products returned in unsanitary or unsuitable condition;
- Products whose batch number, expiry date, serial number, label, or identification has been altered or removed;
- Products damaged after successful delivery due to customer handling;
- Products returned without reasonable supporting evidence where required under this Policy; or
- Any other category of products declared non-returnable due to hygiene, health protection, safety, regulatory, or legal reasons.
Nothing in this section shall limit any mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
11. Hygiene, Safety & Medical Product Restrictions
Many products marketed by Herbal Samrat International Co. relate to personal health, hygiene, and male sexual wellness.
For reasons of public health, hygiene, customer safety, product integrity, and regulatory compliance, products that have been opened, used, consumed, or whose hygienic condition cannot reasonably be verified after delivery may not be eligible for return, replacement, or resale.
The Company reserves the right to refuse the return of any product where accepting such return could compromise health, hygiene, product safety, or regulatory compliance.
12. Refund Eligibility
Subject to verification, refunds may be considered in situations including, but not limited to:

- Delivery of a materially damaged product;
- Incorrect product supplied by the Company;
- Duplicate payment or excess payment (subject to verification);
- Cancellation eligible under the Company’s Cancellation or Refund Policy; or

Refund approval shall remain subject to investigation, supporting evidence, and compliance with this Policy.
13. Replacement Eligibility
Instead of a refund, Herbal Samrat International Co. may, at its discretion and where appropriate, offer a replacement product.
Replacement requests may be considered where:
- The wrong product has been delivered;
- The product is damaged during transit;
- The product is defective upon delivery;
- A verified manufacturing defect exists;
- A product is missing from the shipment;
- A product has leaked during transit;
- A product has been materially damaged before delivery; or
- The Company determines that replacement is the most appropriate resolution.
Replacement shall remain subject to stock availability, regulatory requirements, product availability, and successful claim verification.
The Company reserves the right, where appropriate, to provide a refund instead of a replacement or vice versa.
14. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are expected to:
- Carefully inspect the shipment immediately upon delivery;
- Verify that the package is properly sealed before opening;
- Check that the AWB Number or Tracking ID matches the delivered shipment;
- Preserve the original packaging until inspection is complete;
- Report any issue without unreasonable delay;
- Provide truthful, complete, and accurate information while submitting a claim;

- Clear photographs of the shipment and products;

- Any other reasonable verification considered necessary.
The Company’s decision shall be based upon the available evidence, applicable law, operational records, and the circumstances of the particular case.
17. No Automatic Approval
The submission of a request for return, refund, or replacement does not automatically entitle the customer to approval.
Each request shall be evaluated individually based upon:
- Compliance with this Policy;
- Supporting evidence;
- Product condition;
- Shipment records;
- Investigation findings;
- Applicable laws; and
- Other relevant circumstances.
The Company reserves the right to approve, partially approve, reject, or seek additional information before reaching a final decision, subject to applicable law.
18. Mandatory Unboxing Video Requirement
To ensure fair investigation of claims and to protect both customers and Herbal Samrat International Co. from fraudulent, incomplete, or unverifiable claims, customers are strongly advised to record a single, continuous, clear, and unedited unboxing video immediately upon receiving the shipment.
For certain categories of claims, the Company may require such a video as supporting evidence before it can reasonably investigate the matter.
The video should be recorded before opening the shipment and should continue without interruption until all products inside the package have been completely displayed.
19. Essential Requirements of the Unboxing Video
To facilitate proper verification, the unboxing video should clearly capture, without interruption:
- The unopened and fully sealed shipment from all visible sides;
- The complete outer packaging before it is opened;
- The AWB Number, Tracking ID, or other shipment identification number, clearly visible and readable;
- The courier label affixed to the shipment;
- The condition of the packaging at the time of delivery;
- The complete opening of the package;
- Every product received inside the shipment;
- Product labels, where reasonably visible;
- The quantity of products received;
- The overall condition of each product; and
- The conclusion of the unboxing process.
The recording should be continuous and should not contain cuts, edits, pauses, overlays, or alterations that could affect verification.
20. Video Quality Requirements
For the purpose of claim verification, the unboxing video should be:
- Clear and sufficiently illuminated;
- Properly focused;
- Recorded in a manner that allows the shipment and products to be reasonably identified;
- Complete from beginning to end;
- Free from significant obstruction;
- Recorded without digital alteration, editing, or manipulation; and
- Of sufficient quality to permit reasonable assessment of the shipment.
Customers are encouraged to use a stable recording device to ensure adequate visibility.
21. Claims Requiring Supporting Evidence
Depending upon the circumstances, Herbal Samrat International Co. may request an unboxing video and/or other supporting evidence for claims relating to, including but not limited to:
- Missing products;
- Short quantity;
- Partial shipment;
- Wrong product received;
- Damaged products;
- Leaked products;
- Broken packaging;
- Tampered shipment;
- Opened shipment;
- Empty package;
- Expired products;
- Manufacturing defects apparent upon delivery;
- Transit damage; or
- Any other issue where reasonable verification is necessary.
The Company may also request photographs, courier documentation, invoices, or additional information where appropriate.
22. Inadequate or Insufficient Evidence
If the supporting evidence submitted by the customer is materially incomplete, unclear, inconsistent, altered, misleading, or otherwise insufficient to reasonably verify the claim, Herbal Samrat International Co. may be unable to approve the requested return, refund, or replacement.
Examples of evidence that may be considered insufficient include, without limitation:
- Videos recorded after the shipment has already been opened;
- Partial recordings that do not show the complete unboxing process;
- Edited or manipulated videos;
- Blurred or low-quality recordings;
- Videos in which the AWB Number or Tracking ID cannot be reasonably identified;
- Videos that do not clearly show the products received;
- Videos containing unexplained interruptions; or
- Any other evidence that does not reasonably support the claim.
23. Company Review and Verification
Every claim submitted under this Policy is reviewed individually.
The Company may consider:
- The unboxing video;
- Photographs;
- Courier tracking records;
- Delivery confirmation;
- Packaging condition;
- Internal shipment records;
- Product batch information;
- Manufacturer records, where relevant;
- Customer communication; and
- Any other information reasonably available.
The existence of an unboxing video alone does not automatically establish entitlement to a return, refund, or replacement. Likewise, the absence of a video does not automatically prevent relief where mandatory consumer rights or other compelling evidence require a different outcome under applicable law.
24. Determination of Claims
Following verification, Herbal Samrat International Co. may:
- Approve the claim;
- Partially approve the claim;
- Offer a replacement instead of a refund;
- Offer a refund instead of a replacement;
- Request additional information;
- Conduct further investigation; or
- Reject the claim where the available evidence does not reasonably establish eligibility under this Policy.
The Company will exercise its discretion reasonably, in good faith, and in accordance with applicable law and the evidence available for the specific claim.

- Fabricated or altered evidence;
- Reused photographs or videos;
- Multiple unsupported claims;
- Product substitution;
- Deliberate damage;
- Misrepresentation of shipment contents; or
- Any other conduct that may reasonably indicate misuse of this Policy.
Where fraud or abuse is reasonably established, the Company may reject the claim and take any further action permitted under applicable law.
26. Preservation of Evidence
Customers are advised not to discard:
- The shipping carton;
- Inner packaging;
- Courier labels;
- Product packaging;
- Batch labels;

until the claim has been fully resolved or the Company confirms that such materials are no longer required for verification.
