4. Services Offered on the Platform
4.1 Service Booking (Electrician Services)

HelloPower enables customers to discover, compare, and book electricians and electrical service professionals. In this capacity:

  • HelloPower acts as a marketplace/intermediary and is not the service provider.
  • The electrician or service professional accepts and fulfils the service booking.
  • The service contract is between you and the service professional.
  • HelloPower facilitates the booking, scheduling, payment, and review process.
4.2 Product Marketplace

HelloPower operates a multivendor marketplace for electrical products. In this capacity:

  • Individual vendors list and sell products through the Platform.
  • HelloPower acts as a marketplace intermediary, not the seller of record, unless explicitly stated.
  • Each vendor is independently responsible for product quality, description accuracy, and delivery.
  • GST compliant invoices are generated per applicable tax rules; HelloPower collects TCS (Tax Collected at Source) as applicable under Section 52 of the CGST Act.
4.3 Service Availability

Services are currently available in select cities in India (starting with Bengaluru). HelloPower makes no guarantee of continuous availability and may modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice.

5. Payments, Refunds, and Financial Transactions

HelloPower processes payments for services and products through Razorpay India Pvt. Ltd., a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. By making a payment on the Platform:

  • You agree to Razorpay’s terms of service in addition to these Terms.
  • HelloPower does not store your full card or banking details on its servers.
  • All transactions are encrypted and processed securely.
Correction to Previous Terms: Earlier versions of these Terms stated that HelloPower does not process payments and that all transactions are handled directly between users and service providers. This is no longer accurate. HelloPower facilitates payments through Razorpay and handles settlements to vendors and electricians via Razorpay Route.

All prices displayed on the Platform are inclusive of applicable GST unless stated otherwise. HelloPower will issue GST-compliant invoices for all transactions. For marketplace transactions, GST invoices will be issued by the respective vendor, and HelloPower will issue a separate TCS certificate where applicable.

Cancellation and refund policies are as follows:

  • Service Bookings: Cancellations made more than 2 hours before the scheduled appointment are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations within 2 hours may attract a cancellation fee as communicated at the time of booking.

  • Refunds are processed to the original payment instrument within 5–7 business days.
5.4 Disputes

For payment disputes, contact us at reachus@hellopower.in with your booking/order ID. We will endeavour to resolve disputes within 15 business days. If unresolved, you may escalate to your bank, payment network, or the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
