Return and Refund Policy

Article 1: Order Cancellation Policy Before Receiving the Order

Since the relationship between the seller and buyer on this platform is a business-to-business (B2B) relationship, the return and exchange policies used to protect the average consumer do not apply here. A mechanism is required for both parties to control order cancellations and requests for returns or exchanges. Therefore, we outline below the cases in which the buyer is allowed to cancel an order and receive a refund before receiving the order.

1- Cancel the order before the seller approves it.

The buyer may cancel the order and request a refund after placing the order, as long as the order status is still pending seller approval. However, the buyer will bear the bank fees and any other costs that may be incurred as a result of this cancellation.

2- Cancel the order due to delay in delivering the shipment to the buyer on time.

If the shipment is delayed beyond the specified time, the buyer must check the shipment status via the platform:

1- If the shipment is in transit (in the delivery stage): The shipment will be delivered soon, and the buyer must contact the seller or shipping company to confirm the delivery date.

2- If the specified delivery time exceeds 10 days, the buyer has the right to submit a cancellation request and receive a refund. In this case, the platform is responsible for returning the funds to the buyer.

~~3- Cancel the order due to the shipment not reaching the buyer, with the order status showing “Delivered”~~

1- The shipping company may be currently delivering your shipment. Please wait or check with the shipping company's offices in the destination country.

2- Verify that the delivery address listed in the logistics information matches your address. If there is any discrepancy, please contact the seller or shipping company to resolve the issue.

3- If the problem is not resolved and the shipment waiting period exceeds 10 days from the specified date, the buyer has the right to submit a cancellation request and receive a refund.

4-~~Cases in which the buyer may not cancel the order~~

The buyer is not entitled to submit a request to cancel the order in the following cases:

1- If the order is submitted after the seller has approved the purchase order, and the order status becomes “Approved”, “Ready for Delivery”, or “Out for Delivery”.

2- If the delivery was made on time and the shipment was intact and free from any damage or defects.

3- The order cancellation policy does not apply to international shipments, as delivery times may be affected by multiple factors, such as customs procedures, local regulations in the destination country, and other factors beyond the seller's control. The seller is not responsible for any delays resulting from these factors, and the buyer has no right to cancel an order due to a delay in the delivery of international shipments unless otherwise agreed upon between the seller and buyer.

Article Two: Return and Refund Policy after Receiving the Order

Since the relationship between the seller and buyer on this platform is a business-to-business (B2B) relationship, the return and exchange policies used to protect the average consumer do not apply here.

Article 3: Dispute

This article covers all amicable settlements between the buyer and seller on the platform, such as order cancellation, return, or refund. These procedures are a mutual agreement between the seller and buyer. However, if the seller rejects the buyer's request for a return or refund, the buyer must follow further procedures and open a dispute to reach a resolution and settlement.

1- Cases of opening a dispute

The buyer has the right to open a dispute in the following case:

If the buyer receives the shipment and finds it defective, damaged, or does not conform to the specifications outlined in the Returnable Products Policy, the buyer will submit a return and refund request to the seller. If the seller rejects the request, the buyer may file a dispute within three business days from the date of the seller's rejection. If this period exceeds, the buyer is deemed to have accepted the product and is not entitled to a return.

1- How to open a dispute

The buyer can open a dispute by following these steps:

1- Log in to his account on the platform (through which the purchase was made).

2- Go to the orders page, then enter the order number.

3- Click on “Register a dispute” and fill in the dispute details.

Buyers should note that each purchase has only three days to file a dispute after receiving the order. If the buyer does not file a dispute within this period after the return request is rejected, the order will be closed and the order status will be considered "Delivered." In this case, the buyer will not be able to file a dispute, request the platform's intervention, or withhold the seller's payments. If the three-day period expires, the buyer must contact the seller directly to correct the error or replace the product without the platform's intervention.

2- Cases in which the buyer cannot open a dispute

1- If the request does not reach the stage that allows for opening a dispute.

2- If a dispute has been opened previously for the same request, as it is not permitted to open a dispute more than once for the same request.

3- If the return and refund request is accepted and the products are returned, in this case the buyer cannot open a new dispute regarding the order.

3- Procedures to be followed by the buyer after opening the dispute

After opening a dispute, the buyer can track the progress of the dispute by viewing the dispute details on the My Orders page. At this stage, it is recommended that the buyer contact the seller directly to reach an agreement.

1- If an agreement is reached between the buyer and the seller, the dispute is closed.

2- If the seller does not agree, the buyer can submit a new offer and contact the seller to reach a solution.

3- If the seller makes a new offer, the buyer can accept or reject it.

4- If an amicable settlement is not reached between the seller and the buyer, the dispute will be pending and resolved by the platform.

4- Dispute procedures in the competent court

1- If one of the parties decides to resort to the judiciary to resolve the dispute, documents proving the filing of the lawsuit must be submitted to the court. The platform will then freeze the release of funds until a final ruling is issued on the dispute.

2- The buyer is aware and agrees that the platform will provide all documents and papers in its possession to either party (seller or buyer) if requested to reach a resolution to the dispute.

5- Dispute closure procedures

The buyer or seller can end the dispute by accessing the dispute page on the platform and selecting the “Dispute Resolved” or “Dispute Closed” option.

Article 4: Buyer Protection

1-What is the warranty?

Escrow is when the purchase is completed. The purchase amount is deposited with the platform to ensure delivery of the products to the seller after the transaction is completed. In online purchases, the buyer transfers funds to the platform, while the seller ships the products. When the buyer confirms receipt of the shipment and is satisfied with the products, the platform releases the payment to the seller.

2-The importance of the warranty to the buyer

Escrow is a safer method, as the platform acts as a third party intermediary that reduces the risk of fraud by managing and distributing funds on behalf of buyers.

3- Buyer Protection Procedures

1- The platform management follows up on shipments and verifies the delivery process through the procedures specified for each party, including the shipping company.

2- In the event of disputes, the platform administration will assist the buyer and seller in reaching a settlement.

3- The amount will not be paid to the seller until the buyer confirms receipt of the products and is satisfied with them, or in the event of a final ruling in the dispute ordering the payment to be delivered to the seller.

4-What if the seller offers to complete the transaction directly without using the platform?

If you receive an offer from a seller to complete a transaction directly, without using the platform, we advise you not to respond. Please notify us immediately. If you decide to complete the transaction directly with the seller, you bear the risk and will not be able to benefit from the platform's protection if the products do not arrive or do not meet your expectations. The platform also cannot assist you with refunds or replacements if you choose to bypass our services during the purchase process. Please note that our escrow system ensures that you will not pay the seller until we are fully satisfied with your purchase.
