Disputes (Resolutions) Policy

Overview

Generally, transactions are conducted smoothly on Flipkart. However there may be some cases where both the Buyers and Sellers may face issues. At Flipkart, we have a Dispute Resolution process in order to resolve disputes between Buyers and Sellers.

What is a ‘dispute’?

A ‘Dispute’ can be defined as a disagreement between a Buyer and a Seller in connection with a transaction on the Platform.

How does a ‘dispute’ occur in the Marketplace?

Disputes are filed as a result of a disagreement between the Buyer and the Seller. Disputes arise out of an issue that is raised by either party not being completely satisfied with the resolution of their complaint/issue.

It is important that before a Buyer/Seller raises a dispute, they should attempt to solve the issue. Please note that whenever a Buyer raises a dispute, the Seller’s payment for that order is put on hold immediately until the issue is resolved.

How is a ‘dispute’ created?

Whenever there is a disagreement, the Buyer can contact us through this link https://www.flipkart.com/helpcentre, while the Seller can write to ss@flipkart.com, in order to raise a dispute. Disputes can be raised at a particular transaction level.

What are the various types of ‘disputes’?

Following are the indicative examples of potential disputes:

1. Wrong item received
2. Item Not as described
3. Damaged or Seal broken on Product
4. Part/Accessory missing
5. Item not Compatible
6. Seller Description/Specification Wrong
7. Defective (Functional issues)
8. Product not working and Manufacturer claims invalid Invoice

In case the Seller rejects the return request of the Buyer, and Buyer raises a dispute, then Flipkart will try to mediate and resolve the dispute between both the parties. If the dispute is resolved in favour of the Buyer, a refund is provided once the product is returned to the Seller. If the dispute is settled in favour of the Seller, Buyer is entitled to any refund.

Buyer Protection Program

In case of a dispute where the Seller is unable to provide a refund or a replacement, Flipkart will actively work towards reaching a resolution.

The Buyer Protection Program covers Buyers who are unable to successfully resolve their dispute with the Seller or are not satisfied the resolution provided by the Seller.

The buyer can contact us through this link https://www.flipkart.com/helpcentre if the issue with the Seller is not resolved. Flipkart’s Customer Support team will look into the case to check for possible fraud and if the Buyer has been blacklisted/blocked from making purchases on the Platform. Only after verifying these facts, a dispute can be registered.

CS team will not facilitate a conference call, CS team acts as the bridge between customer and seller.

When a dispute has been raised, Flipkart may provide both the parties access to each others Display Names, contact details including email addresses and other details pertaining to the dispute. Buyers and Sellers are subject to final consent from Flipkart for settling the dispute.

Flipkart has put in place Flipkart Infringement Verification process so that intellectual property owners could easily report listings that infringe their rights. It is in Flipkart’s interest to ensure that infringing products are removed from the site, as they erode Buyer and good Seller trust.

• If you are a Verified Rights Owner and want to report a listing issue, see Flipkart’s FIV. Note: Only the intellectual property rights owner can report potentially infringing products or listings through FIV. If you are not the intellectual property rights owner, you can still help by getting in touch with the rights owner and encouraging them to contact us.
• If your listing was removed through FIV, and you believe that your listing was removed in error, please contact us.

Flipkart does not and cannot verify that Sellers have the right or ability to sell or distribute their listed products. However, Flipkart is committed to removing infringing or unlicensed products once an authorized representative of the rights owner properly reports them to Flipkart.

FIV works to ensure that item listings do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. FIV participants have the ability to identify and request removal of allegedly infringing products and materials.

Any person or company who holds intellectual property rights (such as a copyright, trademark or patent) which may be infringed upon by products listed on Flipkart is encouraged to become a FIV member.

Program membership entitles you (Verified Rights Owner) to the following benefits:

• Rapid response by Flipkart in ending listings reported by you (as the Verified Rights Owner) as allegedly infringing

The information requested by the Notice of Infringement is designed to ensure that parties reporting products are authorized by the rights owners, and to enable Flipkart to easily identify the material or listing to be ended.

In the interest of keeping the process easy and simple, after we receive your first Notice of Infringement in hard copy, future notices can be sent to Us by email at ss@flipkart.com.

Note: In your notice of infringement, you shall be required to identify the individual listing which is infringing your intellectual property. General notices shall not be accepted.

Disputes (Resolutions) Policy

Overview

Generally, transactions are conducted smoothly on Flipkart. However there may be some cases where both the Buyers and Sellers may face issues. At Flipkart, we have a Dispute Resolution process in order to resolve disputes between Buyers and Sellers.

What is a ‘dispute’?

A ‘Dispute’ can be defined as a disagreement between a Buyer and a Seller in connection with a transaction on the Platform.

How does a ‘dispute’ occur in the Marketplace?

Disputes are filed as a result of a disagreement between the Buyer and the Seller. Disputes arise out of an issue that is raised by either party not being completely satisfied with the resolution of their complaint/issue.

It is important that before a Buyer/Seller raises a dispute, they should attempt to solve the issue. Please note that whenever a Buyer raises a dispute, the Seller’s payment for that order is put on hold immediately until the issue is resolved.

How is a ‘dispute’ created?

Whenever there is a disagreement, the buyer can contact us in order to raise a dispute. Disputes can be raised at a particular transaction level.

What are the various types of ‘disputes’?

Following are the indicative examples of potential disputes:

1. Wrong item received
2. Item Not as described
3. Damaged or Seal broken on Product
4. Part/Accessory missing
5. Item not Compatible
6. Seller Description/Specification Wrong
7. Defective (Functional issues)
8. Product not working and Manufacturer claims invalid Invoice

In case the Seller rejects the return request of the Buyer, and Buyer raises a dispute, then Flipkart will try to mediate and resolve the dispute between both the parties. If the dispute is resolved in favour of the Buyer, a refund is provided once the product is returned to the Seller. If the dispute is settled in favour of the Seller, Buyer is entitled to any refund.

Buyer Protection Program

In case of a dispute where the Seller is unable to provide a refund or a replacement, Flipkart will actively work towards reaching a resolution.

The Buyer Protection Program covers Buyers who are unable to successfully resolve their dispute with the Seller or are not satisfied the resolution provided by the Seller.

The buyer can contact us if the issue with the Seller is not resolved. Flipkart’s Customer Support team will look into the case to check for possible fraud and if the Buyer has been blacklisted/blocked from making purchases on the Platform. Only after verifying these facts, a dispute can be registered.

CS team will not facilitate a conference call, CS team acts as the bridge between customer and seller.

When a dispute has been raised, Flipkart may provide both the parties access to each others Display Names, contact details including email addresses and other details pertaining to the dispute. Buyers and Sellers are subject to final consent from Flipkart for settling the dispute.

Buyer Eligibility and Restrictions

Only the Buyers who have purchased the product on Flipkart are eligible for the Buyer Protection Program.

Buyers can file a dispute within 45 days from the date of delivery of the product

Any damage or loss to the product after delivery will not be covered under this program and will completely be the Buyer’s responsibility. Buyers should refuse to accept delivery if the item is damaged.

To be able to take advantage of the Buyer Protection Program, Buyers should first contact the Seller and attempt to resolve the issue. If the Buyer doesn’t hear from the Seller or is unable to resolve the issue with the Seller even after contact, a dispute can be raised with Flipkart by contacting us through the contact page.

Fraudulent charges and claims are not covered under Buyer Protection Program

If the Buyer has already initiated chargeback through the credit card issuing bank, it will not be covered under Buyer Protection Program, though in such cases a Seller can file a claim through the Seller Protection Program.

Blacklisted and Blocked Buyers are not covered by the Buyer Protection Program.

Flipkart shall at no point be responsible for any direct or indirect losses, expenses, costs of any nature whatsoever that may be incurred by any Buyer/Seller.

Claims of the nature of ‘Buyer remorse’ (i.e. instances where products are bought by the Buyer by mistake or where the Buyer chooses to change his/her mind with regard to the product purchased by him) will not be entertained through this program.

Flipkart does not and cannot verify that Sellers have the right or ability to sell or distribute their listed products. However, Flipkart is committed to removing infringing or unlicensed products once an authorized representative of the rights owner properly reports them to Flipkart.

FIV works to ensure that item listings do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. FIV participants have the ability to identify and request removal of allegedly infringing products and materials.

Any person or company who holds intellectual property rights (such as a copyright, trademark or patent) which may be infringed upon by products listed on Flipkart is encouraged to become a FIV member.
