Refund Policy
Last Updated: September 2025
At Laayo, we work hard to ensure a seamless delivery experience. However, we understand that issues may arise. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how cancellations, returns, and refunds are handled for Users, Vendors, and Delivery Partners.
By using Laayo’s apps and services, you agree to this policy.
1. User Cancellations
-
Users may cancel an order before the vendor has confirmed or started preparing it.
-
Once the vendor has confirmed and preparation has started, cancellation may not be possible.
-
If a user cancels after preparation or dispatch, cancellation fees may apply, and the order amount may not be refundable.
2. Vendor Cancellations
-
Vendors may cancel orders due to stock unavailability, operational issues, or other valid reasons.
-
If a vendor cancels, the user will receive a full refund of any prepaid amount.
-
Repeated vendor cancellations may result in penalties or suspension of vendor accounts.
3. Delivery Partner Cancellations
-
Delivery partners may cancel an order only in exceptional cases (vehicle breakdown, emergency).
-
Frequent cancellations by delivery partners may result in penalties, reduced earnings, or account suspension.
-
If a delivery partner cancels after pickup, Laayo will reassign the order to another partner.
4. Refund Eligibility for Users
A refund may be issued in the following cases:
-
Order canceled by the vendor or Laayo due to stock issues.
-
Order canceled by Laayo due to unforeseen operational reasons.
-
Wrong, missing, or severely damaged items delivered (verified through support).
-
Payment made but order not placed due to technical issues.
Refunds are not eligible in the following cases:
-
Incorrect delivery address or contact details provided by the user.
-
User not available to receive the order at the delivery location.
-
Change of mind after order confirmation.
-
Delays caused by traffic, weather, strikes, or force majeure events.
5. Refund Process
-
Refunds will be processed to the original payment method (Wallet, Bank, Card, or Online Gateway) or credited to the user’s Laayo Wallet.
-
Refund processing time: 7–14 business days, depending on the payment provider.
-
For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, refunds (if applicable) will be credited to the Laayo Wallet for future use.
6. Quality & Returns
-
Laayo does not accept direct returns.
-
If a product is damaged, missing, or incorrect, users must report the issue to support@laayo.com.np within 24 hours of delivery with photos/evidence.
-
Laayo will coordinate with the vendor to investigate and process refunds if applicable.
7. Disputes & Resolutions
-
If there is a dispute regarding order value, product quality, or refund eligibility, Laayo will mediate between the user, vendor, and delivery partner.
-
Laayo’s decision on disputes will be final.
8. Delivery Fees
-
Delivery charges are non-refundable once an order has been dispatched.
-
In case of vendor or Laayo cancellation before dispatch, delivery fees (if prepaid) will be refunded.
9. Vendor & Delivery Partner Payout Adjustments
-
If a refund is issued to a user for vendor or delivery partner error, the refund amount may be deducted from future vendor payouts or delivery partner earnings.
-
If Laayo is at fault, Laayo will bear the refund cost.
