Subject to the terms and conditions in this Refunds and Return Policy and the Terms of Service, Buyer may apply for the return of the purchased items (“Item”) and/or refund no later than 7 days after the eBuddy Guarantee Period has expired.

eBuddy Guarantee is a service provided by eBuddy, 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 eBuddy 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 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; or
• By way of private agreement with Seller and Seller must send his/her confirmation to eBuddy confirming such agreement.

Buyer’s application must be submitted via the eBuddy platform. eBuddy will review each Buyer’s application on a case-by-case basis and, in its sole discretion, determine whether Buyer’s application is successful. In the event where Buyer has commenced legal action against Seller, Buyer may provide the formal notification from the appropriate authority to eBuddy to request eBuddy to continue to hold the purchase monies until a formal determination is available. eBuddy will, at its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether it is necessary to continue to hold such purchase monies.

3. No Change of Mind

When eBuddy receives an application from Buyer for the return of the Item and/or refund, eBuddy will notify Seller in writing. Seller may respond to Buyer’s application according to the steps provided by eBuddy in the written notification. Seller must respond within the time-frame stipulated in the written notification (the “Stipulated Period”). Should eBuddy not hear from Seller within the Stipulated Period, eBuddy will assume that Seller has no response to Buyer’s application and will proceed to assess Buyer’s application without further notice to Seller. eBuddy 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.
