1. Introduction and Policy Overview
LensiQ understands that plans may change. This policy outlines how to cancel orders, secure refunds, and interact with our team. It applies to all orders placed via the mobile app, website, and related services, regardless of payment method or product type.
2. Definitions and Key Terms
Key terms include Order, Order Placed, Order Awaiting Acceptance, Order Accepted, Cancellation Window, Refund, Refund Processing, Prescription Lenses, Payment Gateway, and Cash on Delivery (COD). Refer to the full policy text for detailed definitions.
3. Cancellation Eligibility and Restrictions
3.1 When You Can Cancel
- Within the cancellation window (30 minutes for Kathmandu Valley, 1 hour outside the valley) while the order status is “Order Placed” or “Awaiting Acceptance.”
- Before order processing begins. Once status changes to “Accepted” or “Processing,” automatic cancellation is unavailable.
- Valid reasons (change of mind, duplicate order, alternate preference) may be considered for manual review before fulfillment.
3.2 When You Cannot Cancel
- After “Order Accepted,” “Processing,” “Dispatched,” “Out for Delivery,” or “Delivered” statuses.
- For prescription lenses or custom orders once manufacturing has started.
- For special orders, clearance items (unless defective), or orders flagged for fraud.
4. Order Status and Cancellation Timelines
Understanding statuses helps you act quickly:
- Order Placed / Awaiting Acceptance: Cancellation available within the defined window.
- Order Accepted: Fulfillment underway; cancellation requires manual review and is not guaranteed.
- Processing / Dispatched / Out for Delivery / Delivered: Cancellation not available; use return policy if eligible.
- Delivery Failed: Contact support to reschedule or request return.
5. How to Cancel Your Order
5.1 During the Cancellation Window
- Log into the LensiQ app or website.
- Navigate to “My Orders” and select the order.
- Click “Cancel Order,” confirm the summary, and submit.
- Receive on-screen, email, and SMS confirmation with a reference number.
5.2 Manual Cancellation After Acceptance
Contact support via in-app chat, email (contact@lensiq.app), or phone (+977 9814781036). Provide your order number, account details, and reason. Requests are reviewed based on processing status, inventory, manufacturing stage, business impact, and timing. Approval is not guaranteed.
5.3 After Cancellation
Processing stops, inventory is returned, and refunds are initiated. Confirmation includes timelines and reference numbers.
6. Refunds for Cancelled Orders
6.1 Refund Amount
- Full Refund: 100% of the order amount (including addons and taxes) for cancellations within the eligibility window.
- Partial Refund: If cancellation occurs after acceptance but before completion, deductions may cover preparation, materials, or labor (typically 20–50%).
- No Refund: After dispatch, delivery, or completion of custom manufacturing.
6.2 Processing Timeline
- Online payments: Refund initiated within 1–2 business hours; funds return via eSewa or Khalti within 3–7 business days.
- COD orders: Since payment isn’t collected, no refund is necessary. Any advance payments are returned via bank transfer within 7–10 business days.
6.3 Payment Gateway Policies
eSewa and Khalti refunds post to customer wallets; transaction fees are non-refundable per gateway rules.
6.4 Tracking & 6.5 Failed or Delayed Refunds
Track refunds via “My Orders,” email, SMS, or support. If funds do not appear within 7 business days, contact support with order and refund reference numbers for investigation and reissuance if required. LensiQ guarantees initiation within 24 hours of approval.
7. Prescription Lens Orders
Prescription orders can be cancelled before manufacturing begins for a full refund. Once production starts, cancellation is unavailable due to customization. You’ll be notified when manufacturing begins. Returns are possible within 7 days if lenses are incorrect or defective.
8. Order Modifications and Substitutions
Orders generally cannot be modified after placement. Contact support immediately to request changes before acceptance; otherwise cancel and reorder. If you ordered the wrong item, cancel within the window or contact support to arrange returns/refusals after shipment.
9. Special Cases and Exceptions
- Duplicate Orders: Cancel duplicates promptly; support can help identify them.
- Address Errors: Cancel before acceptance or contact support to intercept deliveries.
- Out-of-Stock Items: LensiQ will notify you and offer cancellation, substitution, partial refund, or backorder options.
- Price Changes: Orders are honored at checkout prices; subsequent price drops do not apply retroactively.
- Technical/Payment Issues: Contact support if payments fail or multiple orders process unexpectedly.
10. Account Deletion and Cancellation
Active orders continue to process even if you request account deletion. Refunds are sent to the original payment method or via bank transfer. After account deletion, contact support directly for any remaining cancellation needs.
11. Bulk Orders and Corporate Purchases
Bulk orders (5+ items) may have custom cancellation terms. Coordinate with the sales team (contact@lensiq.app) before ordering. Without special agreements, standard cancellation windows apply, and restocking fees may be charged after acceptance.
