In case of complaints from the Buyer pertaining to efficacy, quality, or any other such issues, snocart shall notify the same to Merchant and shall also redirect the Buyer to the consumer call center of the Merchant.

In the event you raise any complaint on any Merchant accessed using our Platform, we shall assist you to the best of our abilities by providing relevant information to you, such as details of the Merchant and the specific Order to which the complaint relates, to enable satisfactory resolution of the complaint.
- Similar to the above, snocart is only providing a platform for communication with PDP and does not provide any pick-up and delivery services or Task completion services with respect to the Orders placed by Merchants/Buyers on the Platform as it is merely facilitating Delivery Services by connecting the Merchants/Buyers with the PDP through the Platform.
