Refunds and Return Policy

1.Application for Returns/Refunds

Subject to the terms and conditions in this Refunds and Return Policy and the Terms of Service, Buyer may apply for return of the purchased items (“Item”) and/or refund prior to the expiry of the Exit Shop Guarantee Period as stated in the Terms of Service.

LICA Guarantee is a service provided by Exit Shop, on User’s request, to assist Users in dealing with certain conflicts which may arise during the course of a transaction. Users may communicate with each other privately to resolve their differences or approach their relevant local authorities to assist them in overcoming any dispute prior, during or after using LICA Guarantee.

2. Application for the Return of an Item

Buyer may only apply for the refund and/or return of the Item in the following circumstances:

● The Item has not been received by Buyer;

● The Item was defective and/or damaged on delivery;

● Seller has delivered an Item that does not match the agreed specification (e.g. wrong size, colour, etc.) to Buyer;

● The Item delivered to Buyer is materially different from the description provided by Seller in the listing of the Item; 

● By way of private agreement with Seller and Seller must send his/her confirmation to LICA confirming such agreement.

Buyer’s application must be submitted via the Exit Shop mobile app.

ten (10) calendar days after the return request is raised. 

In the event where Buyer has commenced legal action against Seller, Buyer may provide the formal notification from the appropriate authority to LICA to request LICA to continue to hold the purchase monies until a formal determination is available. Exit Shop will, at its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether it is necessary to continue to hold such purchase monies.

3. Rights of Preferred Sellers

If you are a Preferred Seller, you should have received a separate written notification from LICA informing you of your selection to participate in the LICA Preferred Seller Program.  If you decide not to participate in the LICA Preferred Seller Program at any time, please inform LICA in writing; otherwise, you will be deemed to have elected to continue your participation in the LICA Preferred Seller Program and consented to the terms and conditions set out in this Refunds and Return Policy.  LICA may, at any time and at its sole discretion, suspend or remove any Preferred Seller from the LICA Preferred Seller Program. 

LICA’s determination to approve a refund or return of an Item pursuant to Section 2 above is binding on the relevant Preferred Seller.  Preferred Sellers agree to comply and do all such things as necessary to give effect to a Buyer’s request for a refund or return approved by LICA.

For any refund or return request approved by Exit Shop, LICA will notify the Preferred Seller by email (“Email Notification”) and organize the delivery of the relevant returned Item to the address provided by the relevant Preferred Seller to LICA in writing for the completion of the refund and return process, so long as such address is in the country in which the relevant Item was listed for sale on the Site (a “Local Address”).  If Preferred Seller fails to provide a Local Address for return of the returned Item or otherwise fails to accept delivery of the returned Item within a reasonable period of time (as determined by Exit Shop), LICA reserves the right to dispose of such Item in any manner it sees fit and Preferred Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Item.  Preferred Seller must notify LICA within seven (7) days of receiving the Email Notification (“Notification Period”) if Preferred Seller does not receive the returned Item.  Failure to notify LICA within the Notification Period shall be conclusive evidence of, and result in the Preferred Seller having accepted that, the delivery of the Item has occurred, and Preferred Seller agrees not to make any claims or raise any disputes regarding any such Item.

Notwithstanding the above, LICA may determine at its sole and absolute discretion that an Item approved for refund or return shall not be returned to Preferred Seller, and Preferred Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Item. 

For any refund or return rejected by LICA where the relevant Item was received by LICA, LICA will organize the delivery of such Item to the relevant Buyer’s address pursuant to Section 2 above.   

Where LICA approves any refund or return request, Preferred Seller may appeal such decision by contacting LICA and providing evidence in support of such appeal.  If LICA upholds Preferred Seller’s appeal, it will disburse all or part of the purchase monies to Preferred Seller.  Preferred Seller acknowledges and agrees that Exit Shop’s decision is final, conclusive and binding, and covenants and agrees that it will not bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against LICA or its affiliates in relation to such decision.

4. Rights of Ordinary Sellers

For the purpose of this Refund and Return Policy, Ordinary Sellers are Sellers that are not Mall Sellers or Preferred Sellers. 

When LICA receives an application from Buyer for the return of the Item and/or refund, LICA will notify Seller in writing. Seller may respond to Buyer’s application according to the steps provided by LICA in the written notification. Seller must respond within the time-frame stipulated in the written notification (the “Stipulated Period”). Should LICA not hear from Seller within the Stipulated Period, LICA will assume that Seller has no response to Buyer’s application and will proceed to assess Buyer’s application without further notice to Seller. LICA will review each Seller’s response on a case-by-case basis and, in its sole discretion, determine whether Buyer’s application may be successful against the circumstances stated by Seller.

5. Condition of Returning Item

To enjoy a hassle-free experience when returning the Item, Buyer should ensure that the Item, including any complimentary items such as accessories that come with the Item, must be returned to Seller in the condition received by Buyer on delivery. We will recommend Buyer to take a photo of the Item upon receipt.

6. Liability of Product Forward Shipping Fee and Return Shipping Fee

●  In the scenario of an unforeseen error from the seller's end (i.e - damaged, faulty or wrong product delivered to the buyer), the seller will bear buyer's forward shipping fee and return shipping fee.

●  In the scenario of the buyer's change of mind, buyer shall get seller's consent prior to the return request and buyer will bear the return shipping fee.

●  In the scenario where both seller-buyer disputing the party liable for the forward shipping fee and return shipping fee, Exit Shop at its sole discretion will determine the party liable for the forward shipping fee and return shipping fee.

For the avoidance of doubt, should the seller be liable for the buyer's forward shipping fee and return shipping fee in any of the above scenarios, the seller shall be liable for the buyer’s forward shipping fee even if the buyer used a Free Shipping Voucher for the delivery of the product.

7.  Refunds

Buyer will only be refunded after LICA has received the confirmation from Seller that Seller has received the returned Item. In the event where LICA does not hear from Seller within a specified time, LICA will be at liberty to refund the applicable sum to Buyer without further notice to Seller. For more information on Seller’s response time limits, please click this link. The refund will be made to Buyer’s credit/debit card or designated bank account, whichever is applicable.

8.Communication Between Buyer and Seller

LICA encourages Users to communicate with each other in the event where problem arises in a transaction. As LICA is a platform for Users to conduct trading, Buyer should contact Seller directly for any issue relating to the Item purchased.
