In such an event, you agree to pay any such fees, as applicable. Reliance does not covenant or guarantee providing you with a notice prior to enforcing such a levy of fees. Your continued usage of the JioMart Merchant Platform after such change in the fees will be considered to be your acceptance of such changes.

In order to ensure User convenience, Reliance offers multiple payment options to User. Reliance without prior notice to User, reserves the right to add or delete payment options from the ones listed below:

payment through net banking facilities;
payment through select debit cards;
payment through UPI;
payments through cash on delivery;
payments through prepaid payment instruments;
Any other payment option as may be provided by Reliance from time to time. The payment options referred to above shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as “Payment Options”. While reasonable endeavours are made to offer the Payment Options through varied banking channels, presently, Reliance accepts payments only from major select banking avenues. Reliance does not accept payments made through international debit/credit cards.

It is expressly clarified that accepting a User’s payment through the Payment Options is solely at Reliance’s discretion. Reliance reserves the right to reject payment from a User through the Payment Options for any reason whatsoever. In order to further validate a User’s transaction, Reliance may request the User to submit a copy of the User’s photo identity proof (such as the User’s PAN card), failing which, Reliance reserves the right to reject a User’s payment made through the Payment Options.

While using the Payment Options, User agrees to provide correct, complete and accurate financial information such as credit/debit card details or prepaid payment instrument account details which may be stored by Reliance’s third party payment gateway provider. User(s) shall not use a credit/debit card or prepaid instrument which is not lawfully owned by him/her or which the User has not been lawfully authorised to use. The User shall solely be responsible for the security and confidentiality of his/her financial information. Reliance disclaims all liabilities that may arise as a consequence of any unauthorised use of the User’s financial information and/or identity, including, details relating the Payment Options.

Reliance shall not be held responsible and shall not assume any liability in respect of any loss or damage suffered by a User owing to:
- lack of authorisation for any transaction, including such transactions carried out on gift cards and vouchers issued to User(s) as a part of Reliance’s promotions.
- exceeding of the credit/debit limit mutually agreed between the User and the issuing bank.
- any payment issue arising out of technical glitches occurring during a transaction.
- declination of transaction for reasons beyond Reliance’s control.

Reliance reserves the right to impose limits on the number of transactions a User may undertake over the JioMart Merchant Platform. Should the User exceed such transaction limits imposed by Reliance, Reliance reserves the right to refuse to process such transactions. Reliance may refuse to process transactions emanating from User(s) who have suspicious or questionable transaction history on the JioMart Merchant Platform. Should Reliance be dissatisfied with the credibility of a User or the genuineness of a transaction carried out on the JioMart Merchant Platform, Reliance shall have the right to reject such transactions. Reliance may also choose to delay the dispatch of Products purchased by such User or cancel the entire purchase at its sole discretion. The User agrees that Reliance shall not be liable for any damage, interests or claims resulting from Reliance’s decision to not process a transaction or delay in the processing of a transaction on account of a User’s suspicious activity on the JioMart Merchant Platform.

You will be responsible for payment of all fees/costs/charges associated with the purchase of Products from us and you agree to bear any and all applicable taxes including but not limited to service tax, GST, duties and cesses etc. Despite Reliance’s best efforts, there may be instances of inadvertent mispricing of Products on the JioMart Merchant Platform during or after the process of purchase of Products has been carried out by the User. While thorough processes of verification are carried out prior to the publication of Product prices on the JioMart Merchant Platform, errors and discrepancies arising out of technical glitches and time lags is unavoidable. For avoidance of doubt, Reliance’s curative actions that will arise in the event of a price difference arising on the actual maximum retail price of a Products against the price published on the JioMart Merchant Platform is set out below:

If the maximum retail price of the Products delivered to the User is lower than the price published on the JioMart Merchant Platform, the User shall, within one (1) day from the time when he/she received the Products, intimate the Customer Support in each case resulting in an acknowledgment. Upon Reliance being satisfied of the User’s claim, the difference in the purchase price against the maximum retail price shall be refunded in the original Mode of Payment within four (4) days from the date of receiving the written notice from the User. However, it may take additional time due to availability of bank account details or the banking facility used by the User.
If the maximum retail price of the Products listed on the JioMart Merchant Platform is higher than what has been published and if Reliance is not providing an offer or discount on such Products, Reliance shall have the right to reserve the despatch of the purchased Products until the error on the JioMart Merchant Platform have been rectified and the User pays the difference amount. If the User refuses to pay the difference, the User is entitled to seek a cancellation and the amount paid by the User shall be refunded into the User’s bank account within four (4) days by Reliance.
In order to process such refunds, the User will be required to contact the Customer Support. Thereafter, the User will receive a refund if the initial mode of payment except for the order was ‘cash on delivery’. If the initial mode of payment for the order was through a payment option other than the ‘cash on delivery’ option, we may transfer the refund to the User’s source account that was used to make the initial payment.

To enable User to make payments for purchasing Products on the JioMart Merchant Platform, in addition to this FP Policy, User’s bank, applicable financial institution and/or card issuing association may be applicable. The User’s bank, financial institution or card issuing association may decline or prevent the User from making electronic payments for buying the Products on the JioMart Merchant Platform and Reliance does not control the same and hence, shall not be at any point in time be held liable.

Reliance may, from time to time contract with third party payment service providers including banks, to open nodal bank accounts under applicable Indian laws. This will be done to facilitate the payments between User(s) and other third parties, apart from Reliance. These third parties may include other service providers including payment aggregators, prepaid instrument providers, courier and logistic service providers etc. Upon successful delivery of the products purchased by you through the JioMart Merchant Platform, Reliance shall initiate payments to third party service providers.

If it is brought to the User’s notice that a charge has been created on his/her payment instrument(s) for purchase of Products on the JioMart Merchant Platform and the User is not aware of such purchase on the JioMart Merchant Platform, the User is first, required to verify if his/her family members, friends or business colleagues were authorised to carry out the purchase of Products on the JioMart Merchant Platform.
