2. Order cancelled by you in grace period
X% of selling price as SLA breach penalty levied at
ship deadline breached stage remains

of selling price is deducted as cancellation penalty

period

ship deadline breached stage remains and Y% of
selling price is deducted as cancellation penalty

seller will be charged higher of minimum penalty amount OR Y%/X% of SP.

7. How can you track SLA?

• You are advised to ship the order before the ship deadline

8. How can you track SLA?
• 1 day before to ship deadline, a message of expected penalty is displayed on the orders panel
• You are advised to ship the order before the this deadline

9. How can you track SLA?
• If order is not shipped as per the defined SLA then order may be auto cancelled
• X% of selling price is deducted as SLA breach penalty
• In order to avoid customer dissatisfaction, we give one day as a grace period so that you can ship
the order
Note- Value of X depends on the category of the product as already described in slide no. 6.

10. How can you track SLA?
• If order is not shipped within the grace period then order will be auto-cancelled

• Total penalty post cancellation of an order is : SLA breach Penalty which is X% of selling price +
Y% of selling price as a cancellation penalty
