Haripay INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED

This Policy establishes a consistent framework for cancellation, refund, reversal, dispute and chargeback handling for Haripay's gift card, voucher and virtual product transactions, taking into account the product terms, transaction status, partner rules, applicable law and Haripay's actual operational role.

Haripay shall clearly distinguish between its own responsibilities and those of the relevant PPI issuer, bank, payment processor, merchant or other partner. Where the partner controls the payment or refund process, Haripay shall coordinate the case and provide required information rather than represent that it independently controls the regulated process.

• Provide clear refund/cancellation criteria.
• Process eligible requests consistently.
• Prevent duplicate or fraudulent refunds.
• Support chargeback and dispute handling.
• Maintain transaction and refund records.
• Coordinate with PPI/bank/payment partners.
• Escalate exceptions and material cases.

This Policy applies to purchases, issuance, activation, redemption, cancellations, refunds, reversals and chargebacks relating to gift cards, gift vouchers and virtual gift products handled through approved Haripay channels and partners.
