Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: 14 August 2026
1. Security Deposit
Your refundable security deposit is held by KlanKare, not the vendor, for the duration of your rental. It is released back to your original payment method once your return is verified via the return OTP handshake. Refunds typically reflect in 5–7 business days, depending on your bank or payment provider.
2. When You Get a Full Automatic Refund
- No vendor accepts your booking within our matching window (vendors have 15 minutes to respond; we retry with the next nearest vendor before giving up)
- The equipment delivered doesn't match what the vendor showed you in the pre-dispatch photo/video — you can decline to share the delivery OTP, in which case billing never starts and your payment is refunded
In both cases, the refund is initiated automatically once the booking is cancelled.
3. Mid-Rental Equipment Failure
If your equipment malfunctions during the rental, we'll coordinate a replacement from a nearby vendor, typically within 2 hours, at no extra cost. If no replacement is available, we'll refund you for the unused portion of your rental period.
4. Cancelling for Other Reasons
Self-serve cancellation isn't available in the app yet. To cancel a booking for any reason not covered above, email eshwar.chagapuram@gmail.com with your booking ID and we'll review and process a refund where applicable.
5. Deposit Deductions
Your security deposit may be partially withheld if the returned equipment shows damage beyond normal wear and tear, based on the vendor's serial-tracked asset record. We'll explain any deduction before finalising it.
