Cancellation Hippo: Easy Method

What is Hippo

Overview

Hippo refers here to Hippo Corporation India and related Hippo services that sell home goods and offer home-insurance style products in India.

The guide covers how to cancel e-commerce orders, product returns, and general notes about cancelling insurance-style policies where applicable.

Scope of this guide

This guide focuses on cancellation and refund procedures relevant to Indian customers, using Hippo's published policy and India insurance rules where applicable.

It does not replace Hippo's official terms; always verify specifics with Hippo support for your order or policy.

How to cancel Hippo

Cancel an online order (Hippo Corporation India)

• Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of placement if the item has not been shipped.
• For standard products, cancel before shipping to receive a full refund; after shipping a deduction may apply as per Hippo's terms.
• Start cancellation by contacting Hippo via email or phone (details below).

Contact details and steps

What happens when you cancel

Order and access changes

If your order is cancelled before shipment, Hippo will stop processing and arrange a refund according to their policy.

If the order has shipped, Hippo may treat it as a return and apply deductions as allowed in their terms.

Renewals and data

For subscription-style services, cancellation may stop future renewals but may not retroactively refund past subscription periods unless specified.

Hippo will retain records of communications and transactions as required by law and company policy; request copies if needed when you cancel.

Will I get a refund?

Refund rules for web orders

Cancellations before shipping generally qualify for a full refund.

Product returns and exceptions

• Returned e-commerce products must be unused and unopened in original packaging.
• Return requests should be raised within the timeframe stated by Hippo (their policy references an 'Upcoming Sunday' window which equates to roughly 7 days); confirm the exact deadline for your order.
• There is no restocking fee, but the original shipping cost is deducted from the refund.

Indian consumers are entitled to clear cancellation and refund processes from sellers for online purchases.

Keep records of cancellations and any refund timelines given by the seller for follow-up or disputes.

Insurance free-look period (IRDAI)

Under IRDAI rules, life and individual health insurance policies have a statutory 30-day free-look period (effective April 1, 2024).

Within this period you may cancel the policy and receive a refund after deductions for pro-rata risk premium, stamp duty, and medical exam charges. See details: IRDAI 30-day free-look (Economic Times).

• Photos of product condition and shipping packaging if damaged.

For insurance or policy cancellations

• Policy document, policy number and proof of identity.
• Bank details for any refunds and copies of emails or communication with Hippo.
• Reason for cancellation and any supporting documents (medical reports if relevant).

Common mistakes

Delaying contact

Waiting too long to contact Hippo after deciding to cancel can push you past the cancellation window for orders or the free-look period for policies.

Always contact support immediately and document the request in writing.

Poor documentation and incomplete returns

Returning items without original packaging or not providing order details often leads to refund disputes or delays.

For policies, not sending a signed cancellation request or missing policy numbers causes processing delays.
