Cancellation & Refunds

Last updated: 30 October 2026

Single copies and combos

• Before dispatch: cancel for a full refund. WhatsApp us your order number.
• After dispatch: because this is a printed periodical, we don't accept change-of-mind returns.

3-Edition Subscription

• Before your first edition is dispatched: cancel for a full refund.
• After that: you can tell us you no longer want the subscription. We'll record your request and still deliver the remaining editions you've paid for. No change-of-mind refund applies.
• If we can't deliver: if an edition isn't dispatched within 30 days of its planned release, or we stop publishing, we refund every undelivered edition at ₹299 each.

Damaged, misprinted, wrong or missing copies

Tell us within 7 days of delivery (or within 10 days of dispatch if it never arrived), ideally with a photo, on WhatsApp +91 70149 59203 or at sahil@theweekendtimes.com. We'll send a free replacement. If we can't replace it, we'll refund that copy or edition.

How refunds are paid

Refunds go back to your original payment method through Razorpay, within 5–7 working days of approval. Your bank may take a few more days to show it.

Your statutory rights

This policy doesn't limit your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, including refunds for goods that are defective, not as described, or delivered late.
