Product Information & Visual Representation

Citizen Bath makes every effort to present accurate and up-to-date product information on its website. However, certain variations are inherent to the nature of premium sanitaryware and bathroom fittings.

  • Visual Disclaimer: All product images displayed on citizenbath.com are for representational and illustrative purposes only. Actual product colour, finish, texture, sheen, and surface appearance may vary from what is depicted on screen due to monitor calibration, photography lighting, and screen resolution differences.
  • PVD & Special Finishes: Products with PVD coating, matte finishes, or custom surface treatments are particularly subject to visual variation. The appearance of these finishes may differ from on-screen representation under different ambient lighting conditions.
  • Dimensional Tolerances: Product dimensions are stated to the best accuracy possible. Minor manufacturing tolerances are standard and do not constitute a defect.
  • Variation is Not a Defect: Any variation in colour, finish, or texture between the product image displayed on the website and the product received shall not constitute grounds for return, refund, replacement, or dispute of any kind.
  • Citizen Bath reserves the right to update, modify, or discontinue any product listing, specification, or image at any time without prior notice.
We strongly recommend requesting a physical sample or visiting an authorised Citizen Bath dealer before finalising your selection, particularly for large-quantity orders or renovation projects where finish consistency is critical.
04

Pricing, Payment & Orders

All prices listed on citizenbath.com are in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change without prior notice.

  • Pricing Errors: In the event of a typographical or system error resulting in an incorrect price being displayed, Citizen Bath reserves the right to cancel the order — even after payment has been collected — and issue a full refund of the amount paid. No further liability shall arise from such cancellation.
  • Promotional Offers: Discount codes, promotional pricing, and limited-time offers are subject to their respective terms. They cannot be combined with other offers, applied retroactively, or claimed after an order has been placed. Citizen Bath reserves the right to withdraw any offer at any time without notice.
  • Cached or Archived Pricing: Citizen Bath is not bound by outdated pricing or offers appearing in cached web pages, screenshots, third-party archives, or social media posts. Only the price displayed at the time of checkout is valid.
  • Order Acceptance: Receipt of an order confirmation does not constitute final acceptance of your order. Citizen Bath reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order at its sole discretion — including orders that appear to be placed for commercial resale — without being required to provide a reason.
  • Payment Security: All online payments are processed through secure, encrypted third-party payment gateways. Citizen Bath does not store your card or payment details on its servers.

Right to Cancel: Citizen Bath reserves the right to cancel any order where pricing errors, stock unavailability, or suspected fraud is identified — without incurring any liability beyond a full refund of the amount paid.

05

Warranty Exclusions & Conditions of Use

Citizen Bath products are precision-engineered and quality-tested before dispatch. Any defect, damage, or failure arising from conditions beyond our manufacturing control shall not be attributable to Citizen Bath, and warranty coverage shall not apply in such cases.

The following conditions void the product warranty and render any claim for return, refund, or replacement invalid:

  • Improper or Unprofessional Installation: Damage caused during fitting by an unqualified plumber or contractor, including breakage of taps, valves, or fittings during in-wall installation, shall be the sole responsibility of the installer and the customer. Citizen Bath shall bear no liability for such damage.
  • Poor Plumbing Conditions: Defects or failures arising from incompatible pipe pressure, excessive water hammer, incorrect thread sizing, corroded or sediment-heavy pipelines, or pre-existing plumbing infrastructure issues are not covered under warranty.
  • Incorrect Tools or Technique: Use of improper tools, excessive torque, or incorrect fitting methods during installation that results in product damage will void the warranty entirely.
  • Natural Disasters & Acts of God: Damage resulting from floods, earthquakes, lightning, seepage from external sources, waterlogging, or any other natural disaster or force majeure event is excluded from warranty coverage.
  • Chemical Damage: Damage caused by use of harsh chemical cleaners, acids, abrasive materials, or cleaning agents not recommended for the product's surface or finish.
  • Normal Wear & Tear: Gradual deterioration of washers, O-rings, seals, surface coatings, and other consumable components over time constitutes normal wear and is not covered under warranty.
  • Unauthorised Modifications: Any alteration, repair, or modification to the product by a party other than an authorised Citizen Bath service representative will immediately void all warranty claims.
  • Misuse or Negligence: Use of the product in a manner inconsistent with its intended purpose, or failure to follow installation and maintenance guidelines, voids the warranty.
Citizen Bath strongly recommends that all products be installed by a qualified and experienced professional. In the event of a post-installation claim, the burden of demonstrating that the defect is attributable to manufacturing and not to installation or site conditions lies with the customer.

Important: An unboxing video recorded at the time of delivery is mandatory to substantiate any claim for transit damage or manufacturing defect. Claims submitted without such documentation may not be processed.

06

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Citizen Bath's total liability to any customer — whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise — shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the specific product giving rise to the claim.

  • No Consequential Damages: Citizen Bath shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to renovation costs, wall-breaking or restoration charges, labour or plumber fees, project delays, loss of use, or any other economic loss arising from a product defect, delay in delivery, or return process.
  • Installation Costs: Under no circumstances shall Citizen Bath reimburse costs incurred for professional installation, de-installation, or re-installation of any product — whether defective or not.
  • Property Damage: Citizen Bath shall not be liable for any damage to walls, floors, fixtures, or surrounding property caused by product failure, defective installation, or improper use.
  • Force Majeure: Citizen Bath shall not be held responsible for delays, failures, or non-performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including floods, fire, strikes, pandemics, government orders, supply chain disruptions, or acts of God.
  • Indemnification: The customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Citizen Bath, its directors, employees, and affiliates from any third-party claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising out of misuse of the product, violation of these terms, or the customer's own negligence.
Citizen Bath's liability is strictly limited to the invoiced value of the product purchased. No claim for damages beyond this amount — regardless of the nature or basis of the claim — shall be entertained.
07

Misuse, Fraud & Abusive Claims

Citizen Bath takes a firm stance against any attempt to misuse its return, refund, or warranty processes. Any claim found to be fraudulent, fabricated, or made in bad faith will be rejected in its entirety and may be subject to legal action.

  • False Defect Claims: Submitting fabricated photographs, edited or staged videos, or deliberately misleading evidence to support a return, refund, or warranty claim constitutes fraud and may be reported to the appropriate authorities under applicable Indian law.
  • Tampered Products: Any return of a product that has been intentionally damaged, tampered with, or substituted after delivery will not be accepted. Citizen Bath reserves the right to pursue recovery and legal action in such cases.
  • Repeat Return Abuse: Customers found to exhibit a pattern of excessive, unjustified, or suspicious return activity may have their account suspended and future orders refused without notice.
  • Chargeback Abuse: Initiating a payment chargeback without first raising a complaint with Citizen Bath support and allowing a reasonable resolution window is considered a breach of these terms. Citizen Bath reserves the right to dispute any chargeback it deems unjustified and to pursue recovery of associated costs.
  • Review Manipulation: Posting false, defamatory, or malicious reviews with the intent to damage Citizen Bath's brand reputation may constitute an offence under Indian defamation and IT laws, and appropriate legal remedies will be pursued.

Zero Tolerance Policy: Citizen Bath maintains a zero-tolerance stance on fraudulent claims. All suspicious activity is documented and, where warranted, referred to legal counsel for appropriate action.
