You explicitly acknowledge, understand, and accept that all physical items sold are pre-owned, have been subjected to testing and repair, and are sold strictly “as refurbished”. Minor cosmetic wear, superficial scratches, or residual solder on unpopulated pads are to be expected, do not impair functionality, and do not constitute a manufacturing defect.

The display of products on the Platform constitutes an “invitation to offer.” Your placement of an order constitutes an “offer.” We reserve the absolute right to refuse, limit, or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to inventory shortages, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or suspected fraudulent activity. If your order is canceled after your payment has been processed, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.

All billing transactions are processed through highly secure, PCI-DSS compliant, government-authorized third-party payment gateways (e.g., Razorpay, Stripe). We do not store your full financial details on our servers. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information. Wiztaqnia disclaims all liability for any financial loss, double billing, or delay caused by third-party payment gateway outages or banking network failures.
6.4 Fraudulent Chargebacks
Wiztaqnia maintains a zero-tolerance policy for chargeback fraud. If you initiate a chargeback with your financial institution while bypassing our return protocols, we reserve the right to vigorously dispute the claim, permanently suspend your account, and pursue civil legal action to recover the defrauded amounts and associated legal fees.
6.5 Transfer of Title and Risk of Loss
All physical products purchased from Wiztaqnia are shipped under FOB Origin terms. The legal title to the goods, and the risk of loss, damage, or delay, unequivocally transfers from Wiztaqnia to you the moment we hand the securely packaged order over to the third-party courier.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING, OR INR 1,000 (ONE THOUSAND INDIAN RUPEES), WHICHEVER IS LESS.

11. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, to deny access to and use of the Platform (including blocking certain IP addresses), to anyone for any reason or for no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in these Terms or of any applicable law or regulation.
