Terms of Use, Disclaimer & Privacy Policy (Beta Phase)

Last Updated: January 2026

Welcome to pricefinder.in. We are a neighborhood price discovery, comparison, and directory platform currently in our Public Beta Phase.

By using this website—whether to search for prices, list your business, place enquiries, or connect with vendors—you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our services.

1. Important: Beta Phase Disclaimer

This platform is currently in “Beta.”

  • What this means: The website, features, and services are still under testing and development. You may experience occasional bugs, downtime, or data inaccuracies.

  • No Warranty: The services are provided on an “As Is” and “As Available” basis. We do not guarantee that the site will be error-free or uninterrupted.

  • Right to Change: We reserve the right to modify features, fees (e.g., lead costs), or policies at any time without prior notice.

  • Data Continuity: During the Beta phase, data such as listings, order history, or user submissions may be modified, reset, or removed without notice as part of our testing process.

2. Who We Are (Marketplace vs. Direct Sales)

pricefinder.in operates primarily as an information bridge, but we also sell select products directly. It is important to distinguish who you are buying from:

A. Third-Party Vendors (The Majority)

  • Intermediary Role: For most listings, pricefinder.in connects you with local vendors. In these cases, we are NOT the seller, delivery partner, or payment processor.

  • Default Assumption: If a listing is not explicitly marked as “PriceFinder Official” (or similar), it must be assumed to be a third-party vendor listing.

B. Direct Sales by PriceFinder

  • Identified Listings: Some products or services may be sold directly by us. These will be clearly marked as sold by PriceFinder Official.

  • Our Responsibility: For these specific items only, pricefinder.in takes responsibility for product quality and delivery.

  • Return Policy: Returns and refunds for PriceFinder Direct items are governed by our separate Return Policy, which forms an integral part of these terms.

3. Lead Generation & Enquiries

We provide forms for users to request services or products.

  • Lead Assignment: When you submit an enquiry, pricefinder.in reserves the full right to verify the request and assign it to a relevant vendor. We do not guarantee that every request will receive a response.

  • For Vendors: We may charge a fee to share lead contact details with you. However, pricefinder.in does not guarantee that a lead will convert into a sale. We verify leads to the best of our ability to filter spam, but we are not responsible for the outcome of the interaction.

4. Vendor Directory & Marketplace

This section applies to items sold by Third-Party Vendors:

  • No Verification: We allow local sellers to list their businesses. We do not physically verify every shop or product.

  • User-Provided Data: Vendor details are provided by the vendors themselves. pricefinder.in does not guarantee the accuracy or legitimacy of these details.

  • Customer Responsibility: It is 100% the customer’s responsibility to verify the vendor’s legitimacy before making any payment.

C. Product Images & Virtual Goods (Important)

  • Source of Images: Product images displayed may be user-uploaded or automatically populated from a generic master database. These images are for illustrative purposes only and may not match the actual product, model, color, or condition. We do not guarantee that the image matches the item delivered.

  • Virtual Products & Licensing: For software, digital downloads, or virtual services, pricefinder.in does not verify the licensing, copyright status, or validity of the files. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to confirm that the vendor has the legal right to sell the content. We are not liable for any copyright infringement by vendors.

5. Payments & Transactions

  • Direct Payment to Vendors: For third-party listings, your payment (via UPI/Cash) goes directly to that shopkeeper. pricefinder.in does not hold these funds and cannot issue refunds for them.

  • Payments to PriceFinder: For items sold directly by pricefinder.in, payments are made to our official accounts. In this specific case, we handle the transaction and any applicable refunds.

  • Cash on Delivery (COD): Regardless of the seller, we highly recommend using Cash on Delivery for safety.

6. Order Fulfillment & Delivery

  • Shop Status & Availability: Vendors are solely responsible for updating their shop status (Open/Closed) and stock levels. pricefinder.in is not liable if you place an order with a shop that is physically closed or out of stock but failed to update their dashboard.

  • Disputes: Any dispute regarding delivery delay, damaged goods, or wrong items must be resolved directly with the vendor.

  • Policy on Bad Actors: While we are not liable for vendor errors, we take complaints seriously. Vendors who repeatedly fail to fulfill orders or update their status will be removed from the platform.

7. Community Price Watch

Users can upload bills and prices to help the community.

  • Data Accuracy: Prices listed are user-generated and approximate.

  • Non-Reliance: Users should not rely on Community Price Watch data for making purchase decisions without independent verification.

  • Privacy of Bills: Bills uploaded for verification are kept internal and private. Users must blur/hide personal phone numbers and addresses before uploading.

8. Privacy Policy

  • What We Collect: We collect your name, phone number, and order details to facilitate the transaction.

  • How We Use It: We share your order details with the specific vendor you ordered from so they can fulfill your request. We do not sell your data to unrelated third parties.

  • Legal Compliance: We process personal data in accordance with applicable Indian data protection laws.

  • Cookies: We use cookies to improve website performance and remember your preferences.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, pricefinder.in and its owners are NOT liable for:

  • Fraudulent actions by third-party vendors.

  • Money lost in direct transfers to third-party vendors.

  • Differences between product images and actual items received.

  • Exception: This limitation does not apply to claims directly related to products sold and invoiced by pricefinder.in itself.

10. Grievance & Takedown

If you find a fake listing, unlicensed content, or a vendor engaging in fraud, please report it to us.

  • Email: hello@pricefinder.in

  • Action: We will investigate and delete the listing if found to be violating our policies.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

  • Governing Law: These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.

  • Jurisdiction: Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Use this platform at your own risk. By placing an order or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms.
