At the initial stage of its operations, VedaVaya offers its products for sale and delivery within Mauritius.
VedaVaya may offer wellness products, beauty products, personal care products, food supplements, clothing and other lifestyle products.
The range of products offered may change from time to time.

You agree to use the VedaVaya website only for lawful purposes.
You must not:
- Use the website in any way that may damage, disrupt or interfere with its operation;
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems;
- Introduce viruses, harmful code or malicious software;
- Use the website for fraudulent or unlawful activities;
- Copy, reproduce, modify or distribute website content without our written permission;
- Attempt to interfere with the security or functionality of the website; or
- Use our website to infringe the rights of VedaVaya or any third party.
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate access to users who violate these Terms or misuse the website.
Account Registration
Certain website features may require you to create an account.
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and complete information;
- Keeping your account information up to date;
- Maintaining the security and confidentiality of your password;
- Not sharing your account credentials with unauthorised persons; and
- Informing us promptly of any suspected unauthorised account activity.
You are responsible for activities conducted through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law, except where such activity results from circumstances for which VedaVaya is legally responsible.
Product Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, images, prices and other information displayed on our website are accurate and up to date.
However:
- Product colours may vary slightly depending on your device or screen settings;
- Product packaging may change from time to time;
- Minor variations may occur as a result of manufacturing processes;
- Product images may be for illustrative purposes where indicated;
- Product availability may change; and
- Certain product characteristics may vary within reasonable manufacturing tolerances.
We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, modify product specifications or discontinue products where necessary.
Nothing in this section is intended to exclude or restrict any legal requirement that products supplied to consumers must conform to applicable standards or descriptions.
Wellness, Beauty, Personal Care and Supplement Products
VedaVaya offers products intended to support wellness, beauty, personal care and lifestyle needs.
Unless specifically stated otherwise and legally permitted:
- Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition;
- Individual results may vary;
- Product information provided on our website is intended for general informational purposes;
- Product information should not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice; and
- Customers should seek appropriate professional advice where necessary, particularly concerning supplements, allergies, pregnancy, existing medical conditions or medication use.
Customers are responsible for reviewing product ingredients, directions, warnings and suitability before use.
Allergies, Sensitivities and Adverse Reactions
Customers should carefully review available product information, including:
- Ingredients;
- Directions for use;
- Warnings;
- Precautions; and
- Other relevant information.
VedaVaya cannot guarantee that a product will be suitable for every individual.
If a customer experiences irritation, discomfort, allergic reaction or another undesirable effect after using a product, the customer should discontinue use and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
Customers should also notify VedaVaya as soon as reasonably possible where they believe that a product has caused an adverse reaction.
The handling of returns, refunds and product-safety concerns arising from an adverse reaction is governed by our Return & Refund Policy.
An individual allergic reaction or sensitivity does not, by itself, establish that a product is defective or automatically entitle the customer to a refund for a product that has been opened or used.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or remedies available to consumers under applicable law.
Orders and Purchases
When placing an order through the VedaVaya website, you agree that:
- All information provided by you is accurate and complete;
- You are authorised to use the selected payment method;
- You have reviewed the relevant product information;
- You have provided accurate delivery information;
- You have provided a valid and reachable mobile telephone number where delivery is required; and
- You will comply with these Terms and our applicable policies.
Submitting an order constitutes an offer by you to purchase the selected products.
We reserve the right to:
- Refuse or cancel orders;
- Limit quantities purchased;
- Restrict sales of particular products;
- Verify customer or transaction information;
- Correct pricing or product-description errors; and
- Cancel transactions where fraud, unlawful activity, technical errors or other legitimate concerns are reasonably suspected.
Where an order is cancelled after payment has been received, any applicable refund will be processed in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.
Order Acceptance and Contract Formation
An order confirmation or acknowledgement email confirms that we have received your order. It does not necessarily constitute acceptance of the order.
A contract of sale will generally be formed when:
- Payment has been successfully received; and
- VedaVaya has accepted and processed the order.
We reserve the right not to accept an order where, for example:
- A product is unavailable;
- There is an obvious pricing or description error;
- Payment cannot be verified;
- Fraud or misuse is suspected; or
- The order cannot reasonably be fulfilled.
If we cannot fulfil an accepted order, we will notify you and provide an appropriate remedy, which may include a refund.
Pricing and Payments
Prices displayed on the VedaVaya website are stated in Mauritian Rupees (MUR) unless otherwise indicated.
Prices may be changed from time to time.
Changes may result from:
- Promotional campaigns;
- Product costs;
- Taxes or regulatory requirements;
- Exchange-rate fluctuations;
- Operational costs; or
- Other legitimate business considerations.
The price applicable to an order will generally be the price displayed at the time the order is placed, subject to correction of obvious errors.
We accept payment methods displayed at checkout, which may include:
- Debit and credit cards;
- Bank transfers; and
- Other payment methods approved and made available by VedaVaya.
Payment information is processed through authorised payment providers.
VedaVaya does not normally have access to or store complete card-payment credentials processed by third-party payment providers.
Promotions, Discounts and Offers
Promotional offers, discount codes, loyalty benefits and campaigns may:
- Have specific validity periods;
- Apply only to selected products;
- Be subject to minimum purchase requirements;
- Be subject to quantity or customer limits;
- Have specific terms and conditions;
- Not be combined with other promotions unless expressly stated; and
- Be withdrawn or modified where permitted by law.
Any specific terms displayed with a promotion will apply to that promotion.
VedaVaya reserves the right to correct errors or withdraw a promotion where there has been a technical, pricing or other obvious error.
Shipping and Delivery
All deliveries under the initial VedaVaya operating model are made within Mauritius.
Orders are processed and dispatched from our warehouse in Mauritius.
Delivery is governed by the VedaVaya Shipping Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

Delivery Contact
Providing a valid and reachable mobile telephone number is mandatory for orders requiring delivery.
VedaVaya and/or its authorised delivery partner may contact the customer to confirm the delivery time, location and other information necessary to complete delivery.
Failed Delivery
Where the first delivery attempt fails for reasons attributable to the customer, an additional charge of MUR 150 will apply to each subsequent delivery attempt.
No additional redelivery charge will apply where the failed delivery was caused solely by VedaVaya or its authorised delivery partner.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that delivery information is accurate and for being reasonably available to receive the order.
For complete delivery terms, customers should refer to the Shipping Policy.

- The customer is generally responsible for the cost of returning a product for a change-of-mind return;
- Certain opened, used, consumed or hygiene-sensitive products may not be eligible for change-of-mind returns;

Product Defects, Safety and Consumer Rights
VedaVaya aims to supply products that are of appropriate quality, safe for their intended use and consistent with their descriptions.
Mauritius' Consumer Affairs Unit states that goods supplied to consumers should be of satisfactory quality and correspond with their description.
Nothing in these Terms, the Shipping Policy or the Return & Refund Policy is intended to exclude, restrict, reduce or waive any mandatory consumer rights or remedies available under applicable Mauritian law.
Where a product is defective, unsafe, incorrectly supplied, materially different from its description or otherwise subject to a mandatory legal remedy, the customer's legal rights will prevail over any inconsistent provision in these Terms.
