Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation and refund information by brand, with merchant processing kept separate from payment-provider credit timelines.

Publication status: publishedEffective date: 01 October 2026

1. Separate orders, separate rules

This website does not take payments or issue refunds. A cancellation or refund request must be handled by the seller for the relevant purchase. The specific policies for each of our three brands are detailed below.

The policies and websites covered are Applies to orders placed on spiritualknot.com (https://spiritualknot.com), sniffstory.com (https://sniffstory.com), and thegiftingstory.store (https://thegiftingstory.store)..

2. Two different timelines

A seller’s time to review a request and initiate an approved refund is different from the time a bank or payment provider takes to credit it. Both must be stated accurately in the final policy. No standard number of days has been assumed here.

4. Following up on a request

Refer to the brand name, order reference and any refund reference already supplied by the seller. For the support directory, see order support. For unresolved matters, see grievance redressal.

Final eligibility and exception wording needs review for the actual products and applicable customer protections. Nothing in this policy creates a blanket “no refunds” restriction.
