Terms & Conditions
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using tastelokal.in (the “Website”) and placing an order with us, you agree to these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Website. These Terms form a legally binding contract between you (“Customer”) and TasteLokal (“we”, “us”, “our”).
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding contract under Indian law to place an order. By using the Website you confirm that you meet this requirement.
3. Account Responsibility
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use.
4. Products
We sell heritage and regional Indian foods sourced directly from artisan makers across Bihar (with planned expansion to other states). All products carry clearly stated weights, ingredients, shelf life, and origin information. Images on the Website are representative — slight variation in colour, shape, or finish is expected for hand-crafted artisanal foods and does not constitute a defect.
5. Pricing & Taxes
All prices on the Website are in Indian Rupees (₹) and are inclusive of applicable GST unless otherwise stated. Shipping charges, where applicable, are calculated and displayed at checkout before payment. Prices are subject to change without prior notice but the price displayed at the time of order confirmation is the final price for that order.
6. Order Acceptance
Placing an order on the Website constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for reasons including but not limited to product unavailability, pricing errors, fraudulent activity, or shipping address restrictions. An order is confirmed only after we send you an order confirmation email or WhatsApp message and the payment has been successfully received.

10. Food Safety & Quality
All products are sourced from FSSAI-licensed makers and packaged hygienically. Each product carries a printed “best before” date. The Customer is responsible for inspecting the package on delivery and reporting any visible damage or tampering within 24 hours. Once a sealed pack is opened, the freshness and edibility of the contents are the Customer’s responsibility.
11. Intellectual Property
