However, the return/exchange shall be eligible for products that are in good condition, as may be determined by Ask4decore. 

What can I return?

You may request returns for most items you buy from sellers and suppliers listed on the Platform that are within the return window. However, products that are explicitly identified as ‘not returnable’ on the product detail page cannot be returned.  All returns are subject to other Sections of this policy.

However, if you receive a damaged/defective/wrong product from any seller listed on the Platform, you will still be allowed return/replacement even if the product is categorized as  ‘non-returnable’ in the product description.

In case you have purchased a product with which a free product is delivered, and you raise a request for return the main product, you will have to return the free product as well.
