1. My new phone got delivered today and it was taken on an exchange offer for moto e4 plus under the order id od[protected].
2. The wishmaster rejected the phone and further demanded 2100 rupees for giving the phone.
3. I thought there was some miscommunication from his part so i accepted his terms as i was in dire need of the new phone.
4. When i called the customer support about the issue, the said that according to "details", the phone is not accepted in case the screen is cracked
5. This clause was nowhere to be found in the exchange policy, as i have read it thoroughly.
6. I am enclosing the exchange price rate and reasons for rejection from your website in case you want to refer.
7. I urge you to pick up the old phone and please refund the deserved amount of money as soon as possible. I am a student and presently i have just 300 rupee left due to this inconvenience caused by your part. Please, try to understand.
Since the terms of exchange as explained by your executive was not explained beforehand, i am not obliged to it!
Thank you

where was the exchange related guidelines written on your website? I read the whole of T&C for exchange and nowhere was it written that cracked screen leads to product rejection.
Here is an excerpt from your exchange policy, in case you people don't know:-
I understand that checks will be conducted by the delivery executive who will be delivering the new device and picking up the old device.
Following issues will lead to a reduction in exchange value:
1. On-Screen: Cracks, Screen coming out of the body, touch-screen issue or discolouration. The display should not have any spots or dead pixels.
2. On Body: Cracks, Body bent/bulge/de-shaped, parts missing. Battery should not be swollen.
Following issues will lead to rejection of exchange
1. The phone does not switch on.
2. Brand/model is different from what is mentioned provided by me in the Flipkart Website at the time of purchase of the new device.
3. Screen lock (all forms of screen lock viz; pattern, pin, password, fingerprint, face recognition, smart lock, etc. needs to be deactivated) or iCloud lock (Apple phones) is not removed.
4. IMEI, on dialling *#06#, does not match with the information provided by me in the Flipkart website at the time of purchase of the new device
