Normal wear from a single rental is expected. Damage beyond normal wear, loss, or failure to return an item may result in retention of some or all of the security deposit.
If damage is claimed, charges follow the published damage slabs (minor 5–10%, moderate 15–30%, major 35–60%, severe 60–80%, beyond repair up to 100% of the listing's approved replacement value), retained from the security deposit up to the deposit amount. Riwaaz may arbitrate before final release.
If you rent an outfit and later buy it before the return deadline, your security deposit is applied toward the purchase price and is not refunded separately. Rental charges already paid are not credited toward the purchase. If you do not buy, the normal return process applies and the deposit is released or refunded after the outfit is returned and inspected.
