Legal & Policies

Summaries of the terms, privacy practices, refund and cancellation rules, and shipping commitments that govern every 1stNlast purchase.

Terms & Conditions

Using the platform

One account per person

One verified account per phone number and device. Light KYC for customers; full GST/PAN KYC for dropshippers and distributors.

PIN binding

Your registered PIN is your commercial zone. Changes require admin approval or a cooldown to prevent scarcity evasion.

Scarcity is final

Once a SKU is purchased or pre-booked in a PIN, it is permanently unavailable to others in that PIN.

Prohibited conduct

Bots, PIN spoofing, device farming and referral fraud lead to order cancellation and account action.

This page summarises the policy for readability. The complete legal text is CMS-managed and available on request at legal@1stnlast.in.

Privacy Policy

Phone, name, PIN and address, KYC documents where required, device fingerprint, and transaction records.

Why we collect it

To enforce scarcity, verify identity, route fulfilment, issue GST invoices and prevent fraud.

Your rights

Handled under the DPDP Act 2023 — access, correction and grievance redressal via our support channels.

Consent-based messaging

WhatsApp promotions need opt-in; SMS follows DLT-registered templates with recorded consent.

Payment data

Card and UPI credentials are handled by PCI-DSS compliant licensed gateways, never stored by us.

Audit logs

Immutable event logs for scarcity, wallet, stock and fund operations support dispute resolution.

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Fulfilment starts after payment

Stockist routing

Paid orders route to the mapped district distributor by PIN serviceability; distributors only ever see paid orders.

Certified dispatch

Each parcel ships with the GST invoice and a QR digital certificate for the SKU and PIN.

Serviceability

Delivery addresses must fall inside a covered PIN cluster; uncovered districts show an Apply Now stockist option.

Timelines

Indicative delivery windows are shown per PIN cluster at checkout and updated through Track Order.

Status updates

In-app, push, SMS, email and WhatsApp notifications from Payment Received to Delivered.

Exchange logistics

Approved exchanges are collected and re-dispatched by the same district stockist.
