This Product Disclaimer should be published alongside the product-specific information required on each listing. Indian e-commerce rules require sellers to provide accurate and accessible information and do not permit unfair restrictions on consumers’ statutory rights.
At Virat Apparels, we make reasonable efforts to present every product accurately and provide customers with clear information before purchase. However, sarees and ethnic-wear products may contain natural, handmade, manufacturing, photographic, or display-related variations.
This Product Disclaimer explains those possible variations and the responsibilities of customers when purchasing products through www.viratapparels.com.
By placing an order through our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Product Disclaimer together with the relevant product description, care instructions, Terms & Conditions, Shipping Policy, and Return, Refund & Exchange Policy.

3. Product Images Are Representational
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product photographs and videos reflect the actual appearance of our products. However, images displayed on the Website are intended to provide a visual representation and may not reproduce every detail with complete precision.
The appearance of a product may vary depending on:
- Photography lighting
- Indoor or outdoor lighting
- Camera settings
- Image processing and compression
- Screen brightness
- Display calibration
- Mobile, tablet, or computer settings
- Browser settings
- Viewing angle
- Surrounding light conditions
Customers should review all available images, videos, descriptions, specifications, and disclosed details before placing an order.
4. Colour Variation
Actual product colours may differ slightly from the colours visible on your screen.
Such variation may occur because different devices display colours differently. Lighting used during photography may also make a shade appear lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, brighter, or more muted than it appears in person.
Colour names such as navy, maroon, wine, mustard, beige, ivory, gold, rose, peach, teal, or similar terms are descriptive references and should not be treated as exact scientific colour specifications unless expressly stated.
A minor or reasonable colour variation caused by photography, lighting, or screen settings will not ordinarily be treated as a manufacturing defect.
This clause does not apply where the product delivered is materially different from the product ordered or where applicable consumer law provides otherwise.
5. Fabric Texture and Feel
Descriptions such as “soft,” “lightweight,” “flowy,” “silky,” “rich,” “premium,” “comfortable,” or “smooth” may involve a degree of personal perception.
The feel, fall, drape, stiffness, sheen, thickness, weight, and texture of a fabric may be experienced differently by different customers.
Factors affecting perceived fabric characteristics may include:
- Fabric composition
- Weaving method
- Finishing process
- Embroidery or embellishment
- Storage conditions
- Humidity and climate
- Personal preference
- Draping method
- Petticoat or shapewear used
Customers who are sensitive to particular fabrics or textures should carefully review the listed fabric information and contact us before ordering where clarification is required.
6. Handloom, Handcrafted and Artisan Variations
Where a product is described as handloom, handwoven, handcrafted, hand-dyed, hand-printed, hand-embroidered, artisan-made, or similarly produced, minor irregularities may naturally occur.
These may include reasonable variations in:
- Weave
- Thread alignment
- Motif placement
- Print alignment
- Dye distribution
- Colour intensity
- Embroidery
- Stitching
- Border alignment
- Surface texture
- Small knots or thread joins
- Finish between individual pieces
Such characteristics may be inherent to the production method and may contribute to the individuality of the product. They will not automatically be considered defects unless they materially affect the product’s use, durability, or conformity with the description.
7. Power-Loom and Manufactured Products
Machine-made or power-loom products may also show minor variations arising from normal manufacturing processes.
These may include slight differences in:
- Pattern placement
- Border width
- Thread tension
- Print positioning
- Embellishment spacing
- Fabric finish
- Dimensions within reasonable tolerance
A material fault, significant damage, incorrect product, or substantial departure from the published description will be addressed under our Return, Refund & Exchange Policy.
8. Zari, Metallic Threads and Embellishments
Sarees containing zari, metallic yarn, sequins, beads, stones, mirror work, embroidery, tassels, lace, or other decorative elements require careful handling.
The appearance of metallic or reflective work may vary depending on lighting and viewing angle.
Over time, decorative elements may experience natural changes caused by:
- Friction
- Moisture
- Perspiration
- Perfume or cosmetics
- Improper folding
- Repeated wear
- Washing
- Exposure to heat or sunlight
- Storage in plastic or damp areas
Occasional loose threads, minor movement of sequins, or slight irregularity in hand-applied embellishment may occur. Material damage present at delivery should be reported within the timeframe provided in our Return, Refund & Exchange Policy.
9. Print and Motif Placement
For printed, woven, embroidered, tie-dyed, ombré, bandhani-style, abstract, floral, geometric, or patterned sarees, motif placement may not be identical to the sample image.
The precise placement of:
- Prints
- Motifs
- Borders
- Pallu designs
- Embroidery
- Colour transitions
- Decorative elements
may differ slightly from one piece to another due to cutting, weaving, printing, or production methods.
The overall product design and character will remain substantially consistent with the listing unless otherwise disclosed.
10. Measurements and Dimensions
We aim to provide accurate product measurements. However, minor variations may occur due to the nature of the fabric, measuring technique, finishing, cutting, or manufacturing process.
Measurements should therefore be treated as approximate unless expressly stated otherwise.
Customers should carefully check:
- Saree length
- Saree width
- Blouse-piece length
- Border width
- Any size-related specifications
- Product-specific measurement notes
Where a product is purchased for a specific height, draping style, tailoring requirement, or occasion, the customer should verify suitability before placing the order.
11. Blouse Piece
A blouse piece is included with the saree where stated in the product description.
Unless expressly mentioned otherwise:
- The blouse piece will generally be supplied in an unstitched form.
- Stitching and tailoring are not included.
- The customer is responsible for arranging tailoring.
- Blouse-piece colour, border, motif placement, or design may vary depending on the saree.
- The blouse shown on a model may be used only for styling and may not be the blouse piece supplied with the saree.
- Accessories, jewellery, shapewear, petticoats, belts, or other styling items shown in photographs are not included unless expressly stated.
Customers must read the “What Is Included” or equivalent section on the relevant product page before ordering.
12. Model Styling and Draping
Product photographs may show sarees styled with:
- Custom-stitched blouses
- Designer blouses
- Petticoats
- Saree shapewear
- Belts
- Jewellery
- Footwear
- Bags
- Pins
- Pleating aids
- Other accessories
These items are included only where expressly specified in the product listing.
The final appearance of a saree after purchase may vary depending on:
- Customer height and body shape
- Blouse design
- Tailoring
- Draping style
- Pleating
- Accessories
- Underskirt or shapewear
- Lighting and surroundings
The styled appearance shown on a model is not a guarantee that the product will look identical on every customer.
13. Product Weight
Any product weight mentioned on the Website is approximate and may include reasonable variation caused by fabric density, weaving, embellishments, packaging, or measurement method.
Shipping weight may differ from the net weight of the product because shipping weight may include packaging materials.
14. Sheerness, Lining and Undergarments
Some sarees and fabrics may be lightweight, semi-transparent, sheer, or translucent depending on their weave, colour, and lighting.
Customers may need an appropriate petticoat, shapewear, lining, or blouse lining for the desired coverage.
Where relevant, we will attempt to mention sheerness or lining requirements in the product description. However, personal expectations of opacity may vary.
15. Care Instructions
Customers must follow the care instructions provided on the product page, product label, packaging, or accompanying material.
Depending on the product, recommended care may include:
- Dry clean only
- Gentle hand wash
- Separate wash
- Cold-water wash
- Avoid soaking
- Avoid bleach
- Avoid harsh detergent
- Dry in shade
- Low-temperature ironing
- Iron on reverse
- Store in a dry and ventilated place
- Wrap zari products in cotton or muslin
- Refold periodically to prevent permanent creases
Where product-specific instructions conflict with general care guidance, the product-specific instructions should be followed.
Virat Apparels will not be responsible for damage resulting from:
- Failure to follow care instructions
- Use of unsuitable detergents or chemicals
- Machine washing where not recommended
- Improper dry cleaning
- Excessive ironing temperature
- Bleaching
- Colour transfer from other garments
- Prolonged soaking
- Improper storage
- Exposure to moisture
- Customer alteration or mishandling
Nothing in this clause limits liability for a defect that existed at the time of delivery.
16. Colour Bleeding and Dye Transfer
Certain deep, bright, dark, hand-dyed, printed, or naturally dyed fabrics may release a small amount of colour during initial cleaning or when exposed to moisture.
Customers should:
- Follow the stated care instructions
- Avoid soaking unless expressly permitted
- Wash separately where washing is allowed
- Avoid contact with light-coloured garments when wet
- Use a qualified dry cleaner where dry cleaning is recommended
Material or excessive colour loss inconsistent with the disclosed product characteristics may be reported to Customer Support for review.
17. Shrinkage and Fabric Behaviour
Some natural, blended, handloom, or woven fabrics may experience limited shrinkage, relaxation, stretching, creasing, or changes in texture after washing, steaming, or wear.
Where applicable, customers should allow for fabric behaviour when arranging tailoring or finishing.
Damage caused by washing a dry-clean-only product, using an inappropriate cleaning method, or failing to follow instructions will not qualify as a product defect.
18. Loose Threads and Finishing
A small loose thread that can be safely trimmed without affecting the product may not necessarily constitute a defect.
Customers should not pull loose threads, as doing so may damage the weave or embroidery.
Where loose threads are extensive, affect the structure of the product, or indicate a manufacturing fault, customers should contact us before using, washing, altering, or trimming the product.
19. Product Alteration and Fall-Pico Services
Unless expressly offered and selected at checkout, sarees may be delivered without fall, pico, edging, tassel finishing, blouse stitching, or other alteration services.
Where alteration or finishing services are offered:
- Customers must provide accurate requirements.
- Completed or customized products may be subject to different return conditions, to the extent permitted by law.
- Slight tailoring tolerances may occur.
- Altered products should be checked immediately upon delivery.
No independent tailor, dry cleaner, or alteration provider is authorized to make representations on behalf of Virat Apparels unless expressly appointed by us.
20. Product Quality and Inspection
Virat Apparels takes reasonable steps to inspect products before dispatch.
However, customers should inspect the product immediately after delivery and before:
- Wearing it
- Washing it
- Removing tags
- Tailoring or altering it
- Applying fall or pico
- Cutting the blouse piece
- Using perfume, makeup, or other substances near it
Any complaint concerning a damaged, defective, missing, or incorrect product should be submitted in accordance with our Return, Refund & Exchange Policy.
Once a product has been materially used, washed, altered, cut, stitched, or damaged by the customer, it may no longer be eligible for return or exchange except where required by law.
21. Unboxing and Evidence
For damaged, incorrect, incomplete, or tampered shipments, customers should contact Virat Apparels promptly and provide reasonable supporting evidence.
Depending on the issue, we may request:
- Order number
- Photographs of the outer package
- Shipping label photographs
- Product photographs
- Photographs of the defect
- An unboxing video, where available
- Description of the issue
An unboxing video can assist with verification but will not be treated as the sole basis for rejecting a genuine claim where other satisfactory evidence is available.
22. Allergies and Skin Sensitivities
Virat Apparels does not claim that all products are hypoallergenic.
Some customers may be sensitive to:
- Synthetic fibres
- Metallic threads
- Dyes
- Finishing agents
- Embroidery backing
- Adhesives
- Fragrances used in storage environments
- Packaging materials
Customers with known allergies, skin conditions, or sensitivities should review product information carefully and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary before use.

23. Product Suitability
Customers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for their:
- Intended occasion
- Preferred draping style
- Climate
- Comfort expectations
- Fabric preference
- Skin sensitivity
- Tailoring plans
- Care capabilities
Customer Support may provide general product information but cannot guarantee subjective preferences such as softness, comfort, exact shade matching, or suitability for a particular individual.
24. Product Descriptions and Typographical Errors

Occasionally, an error or omission may occur.
Where a material error is identified, Virat Apparels may:
- Correct the listing

- Cancel the affected order
- Issue a refund where payment has already been received
We will not knowingly substitute a materially different product without the customer’s agreement.
25. Product Availability
Displaying a product on the Website does not guarantee continuous availability.
Products may become unavailable due to:
- Limited stock
- Inventory mismatch
- Quality-control rejection
- Supplier delay
- Technical error
- High demand
- Discontinuation
Where an ordered product becomes unavailable, we may offer a replacement, store alternative, or refund as appropriate. A substitute will not be sent without customer approval.
26. Packaging
Packaging shown in promotional photographs may be illustrative.
Actual packaging may vary depending on:
- Product type
- Order quantity
- Stock availability
- Courier requirements
- Seasonal packaging
- Sustainability considerations
A reasonable difference in packaging will not affect the customer’s rights concerning the product itself.
27. Gift Purchases
Customers sending products as gifts are responsible for ensuring that:
- The recipient’s name and address are correct.
- The recipient is available to accept delivery.
- Any requested gift message is accurate.

Results and impressions may vary between customers. Customer-generated content does not constitute a guarantee by Virat Apparels that every customer will have the same experience.
Virat Apparels may moderate or remove content that is unlawful, abusive, fraudulent, irrelevant, misleading, or infringes third-party rights, subject to applicable law.

- Tailoring advice specific to an individual

Customers should consult an appropriate professional where specialist advice is required.
