Returns

Ten days, unexposed and sealed

Emulsion and sensitiser are light-sensitive and cannot be resold once opened, and a coated screen is somebody’s project, not stock. Sealed and unused, it comes back.

Window

10 days

From the day the parcel is delivered, to tell us you want to return.

Refund

6 business days

After the returned item is back with us and has passed inspection.

Damage report

48 hours

With an unboxing video, for anything broken, dead or wrong.

Asking for a return

Write to boutique@clisiconvault.shop inside the window and we will issue a return authorisation within one to two working days, along with the address to send it back to.

What we can take back

Unused and complete in its original packaging with every frame, squeegee, sachet, film and the invoice, with light-sensitive materials still sealed in their light-proof bag.

What we cannot take back

  • opened emulsion, sensitiser or cyanotype chemistry
  • screens that have been coated, exposed or washed out
  • films and positives that have been printed on or creased
  • presses that have been bolted down or run with ink
  • clearance and final-sale items, marked as such on the product page
  • gift cards

Damaged, defective, wrong or missing

Film yourself opening the parcel. An unbroken unboxing video is the one piece of evidence that settles a courier damage claim quickly — without it we are arguing with a logistics partner on your behalf with nothing to show them.

Report the problem within 48 hours of delivery with that video and a photograph of the outer carton. We replace the item or refund it in full, and in these cases return shipping is on us. You do not pay to send back something that arrived broken.

How the refund reaches you

Once the item is back and has passed inspection the refund is approved and processed within 6 business days to the original payment source. Prepaid UPI orders return to the same handle or bank account. For a Cash on Delivery order we collect your bank or UPI details in writing before transferring, because there is no card trail to reverse.

Only deductionIf a partial return drops the remaining basket below ₹1,499, the delivery cost of ₹59 comes out of the refund.
Restocking feeNone. Ever.
ExchangesHandled as a return plus a fresh order — faster, and it keeps the stock position honest.
