• Contractual data protection obligations imposed on all service providers and third parties with access to personal data;
• A formal incident response plan for handling data breaches, including procedures for notification of affected individuals and supervisory authorities;
• Regular internal and external audits of data protection practices;
• A formal data protection impact assessment (DPIA) process for new and high-risk processing activities.
8.3 Limitations of Security
While we make every effort to protect your personal data, no system of security is completely foolproof. The transmission of data over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for ensuring that any devices you use to access our Platform are appropriately secured. Please notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account or any other security breach.
SECTION 9: DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legal obligations. The specific retention periods we apply depend on the category of data and the purpose for which it is used.
9.1 General Retention Principles
Our general approach to data retention is guided by the following principles: (a) we retain data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; (b) we have regard to any legal or regulatory requirements to retain data for minimum periods; (c) we regularly review and, where appropriate, delete or anonymize data that is no longer needed; and (d) we apply different retention periods to different categories of data based on their nature and the purposes for which they are used.
9.2 Specific Retention Periods
Account data is typically retained for the duration of your account and for a period of up to seven years after account closure, to comply with legal obligations and to enable us to resolve any disputes or claims that may arise after the account is closed. Order and transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven years to comply with tax and financial record-keeping laws, and potentially longer if required by other Applicable Laws or pending legal proceedings. Customer support records are retained for up to five years from the date of the interaction. Marketing data is retained until you opt out of marketing communications, after which we retain a suppression record to honor your opt-out preference. Analytics data is typically retained in identifiable form for up to two years, after which it may be retained in anonymized or aggregated form indefinitely.
9.3 Deletion and Anonymization
Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data. Our deletion processes include both logical deletion from active databases and, where appropriate, physical deletion from backup storage systems. Where data is anonymized rather than deleted, we ensure that the anonymization is irreversible and that the resulting data cannot be used to identify you.
SECTION 10: YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location and the Applicable Laws governing the processing of your personal data, you may have a variety of rights with respect to your personal data. This section describes those rights in detail and explains how you may exercise them.
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you, and if so, to receive a copy of that data along with supplementary information about how we use it. This is sometimes called a ‘Subject Access Request’ (SAR) or ‘Data Access Request’. There is generally no fee for making such a request, although we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive. We will respond to access requests within the timeframe required by Applicable Law, typically within 30 calendar days of receipt of a valid request.
10.2 Right to Rectification
If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it. You may also update certain information directly through your account settings. We will take reasonable steps to notify any third parties to whom we have disclosed the data of any corrections made, to the extent required by Applicable Law.
10.3 Right to Erasure (‘Right to Be Forgotten’)
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. This right applies where: the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing; you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; the data has been unlawfully processed; or erasure is required by Applicable Law. Please note that this right is not absolute and may be subject to exceptions, particularly where we are required by law to retain the data or where we need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while you contest the accuracy of the data, while we consider your objection to processing, where the processing is unlawful but you do not want the data erased, or where we no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims. During a restriction, we may continue to store your data but will only process it in limited ways.
10.5 Right to Data Portability
Where the processing of your data is based on consent or the performance of a contract, and where the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another data controller without hindrance from us. This right applies to data you have provided to us, not to data we have generated about you.
10.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where that processing is based on our legitimate interests or on grounds of public interest. If you object, we will cease processing your data for those purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your rights, or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You have an unconditional right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes, and we will cease such processing immediately upon receipt of your objection.
10.7 Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Where we engage in such automated decision-making, you have the right to request human review of the decision, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision. We will inform you when automated decision-making is used and provide you with meaningful information about the logic involved.
10.8 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. You may withdraw your consent through your account settings, through the unsubscribe link in marketing emails, by adjusting your cookie preferences, or by contacting us directly.
10.9 Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes Applicable Law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. In the European Union, this will typically be the supervisory authority of the member state where you are habitually resident, where you work, or where the alleged infringement occurred. We encourage you to contact us in the first instance so that we may seek to resolve any concerns you have.
10.10 How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights described in this section, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in Section 16 of this Policy. Please include sufficient information to identify yourself and describe your request with sufficient detail to enable us to respond appropriately. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on your request. We will respond to all requests within the timeframe required by Applicable Law.
SECTION 11: CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (CCPA/CPRA)
This section applies specifically to California residents and provides information required under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), collectively referred to herein as the ‘California Privacy Laws’.
11.1 Categories of Personal Information Collected
In the preceding twelve months, we have collected the following categories of personal information from California consumers: identifiers (such as name, email address, IP address, and account name); commercial information (such as products purchased, purchasing history, and consumer tendencies); internet or other electronic network activity information (such as browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with our website); geolocation data; audio, electronic, visual, or similar information (such as customer service call recordings); professional or employment-related information (where provided); and inferences drawn from any of the above to create a profile about a consumer reflecting preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.
11.2 Purposes of Collection and Use
We collect and use personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in Section 3 of this Policy, as well as for auditing interactions with consumers; detecting, preventing, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity; performing services including maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing orders, verifying customer information, processing payments, and providing analytic services; and undertaking internal research for technological development and demonstration.
11.3 Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Under the CCPA/CPRA, certain disclosures of personal information to third parties may constitute a ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of personal information. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging data for monetary consideration; however, we may ‘share’ personal information with third-party advertising networks for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. You have the right to opt out of such sharing by clicking on the ‘Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information’ link on our website.
11.4 California Consumer Rights
California residents have the following additional rights under California Privacy Laws: the right to know about the categories of personal information collected, the purposes of collection, the categories of sources, and the categories of third parties with whom information is shared; the right to access specific pieces of personal information collected; the right to delete personal information (subject to certain exceptions); the right to correct inaccurate personal information; the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
11.5 Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CPRA, certain categories of personal information are classified as ‘sensitive personal information’. Where we collect and use sensitive personal information beyond the purposes permitted by the CPRA, California residents have the right to limit such use and disclosure. We collect sensitive personal information such as government identifiers, financial information, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, and health-related information only for the limited purposes described in this Policy.
11.6 Verification Procedures
For requests to know, delete, or correct personal information, we will verify your identity using reasonable methods commensurate with the sensitivity of the information requested. Verification may require you to provide certain information we already have on file about you, to log in to your account, or to provide additional documentation in certain circumstances. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your California privacy rights.
SECTION 12: CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Platform is not directed at individuals under the age of 16 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children below that age. If you are under 16 years of age, please do not register for an account, make any purchases, or submit any personal information through our Platform.
12.1 COPPA Compliance
For users in the United States, we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems.
12.2 Age Verification
For certain products or services that are restricted to adults (such as alcohol, tobacco, certain medications, or age-restricted content), we implement age verification procedures to prevent minors from accessing such products or services. These procedures may include requiring users to confirm their age at the point of purchase, requesting date of birth information during account registration, and using third-party age verification services.
12.3 Parental Controls and Contact
Parents or legal guardians who believe that their child under 16 has provided personal information to us without their consent are encouraged to contact our Data Protection Officer immediately. We will take prompt action to remove any such information and terminate any account created by or for the child, subject to our ability to verify the identity of the requesting parent or guardian.
SECTION 13: MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS POLICY
We may communicate with you for various purposes, including transactional notifications, service updates, and marketing promotions. This section describes our marketing practices and your rights in relation to those communications.
13.1 Email Marketing
With your consent (or on the basis of our legitimate interests where permitted by Applicable Law), we may send you marketing emails promoting our products, services, and promotions. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ link found in the footer of any of our marketing emails or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings. We will process your unsubscribe request promptly, though please allow up to 10 business days for the change to take effect across all our mailing lists.
13.2 SMS and Mobile Marketing
If you have opted in to receive SMS or other mobile marketing communications from us, we may send you text messages about promotions, new products, order updates, and other relevant information. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of SMS marketing at any time by replying ‘STOP’ to any of our text messages or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings.
13.3 Push Notifications
If you have installed our mobile application and granted permission for push notifications, we may send you push notifications about your orders, promotions, and other updates. You may disable push notifications at any time through your device’s notification settings.
13.4 Personalized Advertising
We use information we collect about you to show you personalized advertisements on our Platform and on third-party websites and apps. We also work with advertising partners to show our advertisements to people who may be interested in our products based on demographic and interest-based characteristics that match our customer profile, even if those people have not previously visited our Platform.
13.5 Loyalty Program Communications
If you are enrolled in our loyalty rewards program, you will receive communications related to your membership, including points balance updates, tier changes, exclusive offers for members, and program updates. These communications are considered part of the membership service and may not be entirely suppressed without affecting your ability to participate fully in the program.
SECTION 14: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS
Our Platform integrates with a variety of third-party social media platforms and other external services. This section describes how those integrations work and the implications for your privacy.
14.1 Social Media Login
We offer the option to log in to our Platform using your social media credentials (such as Facebook Login, Google Sign-In, or Apple Sign In). If you choose to log in via a social media platform, we will receive certain information from that platform, including your name, email address, profile picture, and other information you have made available to third-party apps on that platform. We will use this information to create or authenticate your account on our Platform. Your use of social login is also subject to the terms and privacy policies of the relevant social media platform.
14.2 Social Sharing Features
Our Platform includes social sharing buttons and features that enable you to share product pages, wishlist items, and other content from our Platform with your social media networks. When you interact with these features, the relevant social media platform may collect information about your visit to our Platform, including your IP address and the page you were visiting. This information collection is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.
14.3 Embedded Third-Party Content
Our Platform may include embedded content from third-party services, such as videos from YouTube or Vimeo, maps from Google Maps, review widgets from Trustpilot or similar services, and content from other providers. When you interact with this embedded content, the third-party service may collect information about you, including through cookies and tracking technologies. Such collection is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant third-party service, and we encourage you to review those policies.
14.4 Affiliate Programs
We operate an affiliate marketing program through which third-party websites and content creators may earn a commission for referring customers to our Platform. We may share certain information about transactions completed through affiliate links with the relevant affiliates for the purpose of calculating and paying commissions. Affiliate partners are contractually required to maintain the confidentiality of any information shared with them.
SECTION 15: ORDER PROCESSING, FULFILLMENT, AND COMMERCIAL TERMS
This section governs the commercial relationship between you and us with respect to orders placed through our Platform, including the processing of orders, fulfillment procedures, pricing, payment terms, and the engagement of third-party logistics and shipping services. By placing an order on our Platform, you agree to all terms set out in this section in their entirety.
15.1 Order Placement and Acceptance
When you place an order through our Platform, you are making an offer to purchase the relevant product(s) subject to the terms of this Policy. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our sole discretion, for any reason, including but not limited to product unavailability, suspected fraud, pricing errors, export control restrictions, or restrictions applicable in your jurisdiction. An order is deemed accepted only upon our issuance of an order confirmation email, which constitutes a binding agreement between us for the purchase of the specified products at the stated price.
We reserve the right to cancel or modify an order at any time prior to shipment in cases of pricing errors, product unavailability, suspected fraudulent activity, or for any other operational reason. In the event of such cancellation, we will notify you promptly and issue a full refund to your original payment method.
15.2 Pricing and Payment
All prices displayed on our Platform are in the currency indicated and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice, and the price applicable to your order is the price displayed at the time of order placement. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time prior to order acceptance. In the event of a pricing error, we will contact you to offer you the option of purchasing at the correct price or canceling your order.
Payment is due in full at the time of order placement. We accept the payment methods indicated on our Platform, which may include credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, installment payment plans, and other methods that we may introduce from time to time. Your payment information is processed through secure, PCI DSS-compliant payment gateways, and we do not store your full credit card details on our servers.
15.3 Order Modifications
Once an order has been placed, modifications may only be made if the order has not yet been processed or dispatched by our fulfillment team. We cannot guarantee the ability to modify orders after placement, and any modification request is subject to our ability to accommodate it within our operational workflows. If you wish to modify your order, please contact our customer service team as soon as possible after placing the order.
15.4 Product Availability
Product availability on our Platform is subject to stock levels which may fluctuate. While we make every effort to maintain accurate stock information on our Platform, stock levels shown are indicative and not guaranteed. In the event that a product you have ordered becomes unavailable after order confirmation, we will contact you to offer an alternative product, a backorder arrangement, or a full refund.
15.5 Fulfillment and Warehousing
We fulfill orders either from our own warehousing facilities or through third-party fulfillment centers. The fulfillment process involves receiving your order, picking and packing the relevant items, quality checking the shipment, applying appropriate packaging and labeling, and handing the consignment over to the designated shipping carrier. We aim to dispatch all orders within the timeframes specified on our Platform, though these timeframes are estimates and not guarantees. Fulfillment times may be affected by peak demand periods, public holidays, adverse weather conditions, labor disruptions, supply chain issues, and other factors beyond our reasonable control.
15.6 Customs, Duties, and Import Taxes
For orders delivered to addresses outside the country from which they are dispatched, you may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, VAT or GST, and other levies imposed by the destination country’s customs authorities. These charges are separate from the purchase price and shipping fees shown on our Platform and are entirely your responsibility to pay. We have no ability to predict, control, or be liable for the customs and import charges applicable to your order in your jurisdiction. Refusal or failure to pay applicable customs charges may result in the package being returned to us or destroyed by customs authorities, and you agree that we are not liable for any loss or cost arising from such circumstances.
15.7 Risk of Loss
Risk of loss and damage to products passes to you upon delivery of the products to the shipping carrier designated by you or selected by us. We strongly recommend that you inspect all packages upon delivery and report any visible damage to the carrier before accepting delivery. Any claims for damage or loss during transit must be made against the shipping carrier in accordance with the carrier’s claims procedures. We will assist you in making such claims where reasonably possible, but we are not liable for losses or damage occurring after the products have been handed to the carrier.
15.8 Shipping, Logistics, and Carrier Relationships
We engage various third-party shipping carriers, logistics providers, freight forwarders, and postal services to deliver orders to you. The carrier used for your order will be selected based on the delivery option you choose at checkout, the size and weight of your order, the destination address, current carrier availability, and our operational considerations. By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept that the carrier engaged to deliver your order operates as an independent contractor and is not our employee or agent. Accordingly, we are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or delays of the carrier once the consignment has been handed over.
You further acknowledge that the carriage of goods is governed by the carrier’s own terms and conditions of carriage, which may include limitations of liability for loss or damage. These terms are available from the relevant carrier and are incorporated by reference into the arrangement between you and the carrier in respect of delivery of your order. We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the carrier’s terms prior to placing your order.
In the ordinary course of the shipping and logistics process, circumstances may arise that result in additional charges being levied by the shipping carrier or by customs authorities. These additional charges may include, but are not limited to: address correction fees where the delivery address you provided is incomplete, incorrect, or requires modification by the carrier; re-delivery fees where a delivery attempt is unsuccessful and must be reattempted; storage or holding fees charged by the carrier or customs authority where a package cannot be delivered and is held in a carrier facility or customs bonded warehouse; remote area surcharges imposed by the carrier for deliveries to locations classified as remote or difficult to access; dimensional weight surcharges applied where the volumetric weight of a package exceeds its actual weight; fuel surcharges and other operational levies imposed by carriers in response to fluctuating operational costs; inspection fees charged by customs authorities for the physical inspection of imported goods; and any other carrier-imposed or government-imposed charges applicable to the carriage, handling, or importation of your order.
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL ADDITIONAL FEES, SURCHARGES, DUTIES, TAXES, OR LEVIES IMPOSED BY THE SHIPPING CARRIER, LOGISTICS PROVIDER, POSTAL AUTHORITY, OR CUSTOMS AUTHORITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY OF YOUR ORDER, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CHARGES WERE COMMUNICATED TO YOU AT THE TIME OF ORDER PLACEMENT, ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL CHARGES. THE SHIPPING FEES DISPLAYED AT CHECKOUT REPRESENT ONLY OUR ESTIMATED COST OF BASIC CARRIAGE AND MAY NOT INCLUDE ALL CARRIER-IMPOSED SURCHARGES OR CUSTOMS-RELATED CHARGES THAT MAY ULTIMATELY BE APPLICABLE TO YOUR SPECIFIC SHIPMENT. THE CARRIER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL FEES BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN QUOTED OR PAID AT THE TIME OF ORDER PLACEMENT, AND YOU AGREE TO PAY SUCH ADDITIONAL FEES DIRECTLY TO THE CARRIER UPON DEMAND.
15.9 Delivery Estimates and Timeframes
Estimated delivery dates and timeframes shown on our Platform or in our order confirmation communications are approximations based on information available to us at the time of calculation. They are not contractual commitments or guarantees of delivery by any specific date. Actual delivery times may vary depending on the carrier’s workload, route conditions, customs processing times, public holidays, adverse weather events, industrial disputes, pandemic-related disruptions, force majeure events, and other factors beyond our reasonable control. We shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or inconvenience caused by a delay in delivery where such delay is attributable to the carrier, customs authorities, or other circumstances beyond our control.
15.10 Failed Delivery and Return of Goods
If delivery of your order fails as a result of your absence at the delivery address, provision of an incorrect or incomplete address, refusal to accept delivery, failure to pay applicable customs charges, failure to collect from a collection point within the specified period, or any other circumstance attributable to you, and if the goods are subsequently returned to us by the carrier, you may be liable for the cost of reshipment. We will contact you to arrange re-delivery at your expense, or to discuss alternative arrangements. If we are unable to contact you within a reasonable period, we reserve the right to treat the order as abandoned and to retain any applicable restocking or handling fees.
SECTION 16: RETURNS, EXCHANGES, AND REFUND POLICY
The following provisions govern your rights and our obligations with respect to the return of products and the processing of refunds. Please read this section carefully before placing your order, as it sets out the comprehensive terms applicable to all post-purchase transactions.
16.1 Statutory Rights
Nothing in this Policy is intended to, or shall have the effect of, excluding, restricting, or modifying any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection legislation that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. In jurisdictions where statutory rights to returns or refunds exist, those rights are preserved. However, nothing in this Policy creates any rights to returns or refunds beyond those expressly required by Applicable Law, and all non-statutory rights to return or seek refunds are governed solely by the terms of this Policy.
16.2 Product Defects and Statutory Guarantees
If a product you receive is genuinely defective — meaning it does not conform to the description or specification listed on our Platform at the time of purchase, contains a manufacturing defect, or is not fit for its intended purpose — you may be entitled to a remedy under applicable consumer protection law. In such cases, you must notify us of the defect within a reasonable time of discovery, provide evidence of the defect (such as photographs or videos), and return the defective product to us at our expense if we so request. The remedy available to you in respect of defective products will be determined in accordance with Applicable Law, which may include repair, replacement, or where these remedies are not available or proportionate, a price reduction or refund.
16.3 Change of Mind and Non-Defective Returns
We understand that on occasion you may receive a product that, while not defective, does not meet your expectations in terms of fit, color, style, size, or other characteristics that may be difficult to assess from online product descriptions and images. Notwithstanding this understanding, and subject to any mandatory statutory rights applicable in your jurisdiction that we are not permitted to exclude, our general commercial policy with respect to returns of non-defective products is set out in this clause.
We have carefully designed our Platform to provide comprehensive product information, detailed size guides, multiple product images from various angles, color swatches, customer reviews, and other tools to assist you in making informed purchasing decisions. We encourage you to make full use of these resources before completing your purchase. If you have any questions about a product prior to purchase, our customer service team is available to assist you.
In light of the comprehensive product information we make available, and the operational, logistical, and environmental costs associated with the processing of returns, the following policy applies to returns of non-defective products: ALL SALES ARE FINAL. WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS OF NON-DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED IN RESPECT OF PRODUCTS RETURNED ON THE BASIS OF A CHANGE OF MIND, DISSATISFACTION WITH THE PRODUCT’S APPEARANCE, FIT, TEXTURE, OR OTHER CHARACTERISTICS THAT WERE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED ON OUR PLATFORM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. BY COMPLETING A PURCHASE ON OUR PLATFORM, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO THIS NO-REFUND POLICY FOR NON-DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, AND THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR ASSURANCES MADE BY OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM OUTSIDE OF THIS WRITTEN POLICY SHALL CREATE ANY ENTITLEMENT TO A REFUND BEYOND THOSE MANDATED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
This no-refund policy applies to all product categories sold on our Platform unless a specific exception is explicitly stated in writing on the relevant product page or in a separate written communication from our authorized representatives. The existence of a general customer service function on our Platform does not imply any right to return non-defective goods or to receive any refund beyond what is mandated by Applicable Law.
16.4 Non-Returnable and Non-Refundable Items
In addition to the general policy set out in Section 16.3, certain categories of products are specifically designated as non-returnable and non-refundable under any circumstances, including in jurisdictions that otherwise provide statutory rights of return, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. These categories include:
• Digital products, downloadable content, software licenses, and digital subscriptions that have been accessed, downloaded, or activated;
• Customized, personalized, or made-to-order products that have been produced specifically to your specifications;
• Perishable goods that by their nature have a limited shelf life, including food, beverages, fresh flowers, and similar items;
• Hygiene-sensitive products including but not limited to underwear, swimwear, pierced jewelry, and personal care items that have been removed from their original sealed packaging;
• Hazardous or dangerous goods including chemicals, flammable materials, and pressurized substances;
• Products sealed for hygiene reasons that have been unsealed after delivery;
• Newspapers, magazines, and periodicals;
• Lottery tickets, gift cards, vouchers, and other financial instruments;
• Items that have been used, worn, damaged, altered, or washed after delivery;
• Products purchased through special promotions, flash sales, clearance events, or at heavily discounted prices marked as ‘Final Sale’ or ‘Non-Returnable’ at the time of purchase;
• Fragile items where original packaging has been destroyed or where the item shows signs of mishandling after delivery;
• Products for which you have chosen to waive the return right where such waiver is permitted by law.
16.5 Process for Eligible Returns
In the limited circumstances where a return is authorized — specifically, in respect of defective products or as required by Applicable Law — the following process applies. You must contact our customer service team within the timeframe specified by Applicable Law from the date of delivery to initiate a return. You must provide your order number, a description of the issue, and supporting evidence such as photographs or videos. If we authorize a return, we will issue you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and instructions for returning the product. Products returned without an RMA number will not be accepted. You must return the product in its original packaging where possible, together with all accessories, manuals, and documentation included with the original shipment. Failure to return all original components may result in a deduction from any refund or credit due.
16.6 Processing of Authorized Refunds
Where a refund is authorized — whether pursuant to a valid statutory entitlement or a discretionary decision by our management (which we are under no obligation to make) — we will process the refund within the timeframe required by Applicable Law following our receipt and inspection of the returned product. Refunds will be made to the original payment method used for the purchase, unless we are unable to refund to that method, in which case we may issue a store credit or arrange an alternative method of refund at our sole discretion. Please note that the time it takes for a refund to appear in your account will depend on your bank or payment service provider and is beyond our control.
16.7 Exchanges
We do not operate a general product exchange policy for non-defective goods. Where an exchange may be available — for example, in connection with a defective product where a replacement is the appropriate remedy — the availability of an exchange is subject to product availability at the time of the exchange request. If the specific product is unavailable, we may offer an alternative remedy in accordance with Applicable Law.
16.8 Consumer Rights in Specific Jurisdictions
We acknowledge that consumers in certain jurisdictions have statutory rights to return goods within specified periods regardless of whether the goods are defective. For example, consumers in the European Union have a right under the Consumer Rights Directive to withdraw from a distance selling contract within 14 calendar days of receiving the goods, subject to certain exceptions. We honor these statutory rights where they apply and are not excluded by applicable exceptions. If you believe you have a statutory right of return in your jurisdiction that is broader than the terms of this Section 16, please contact our customer service team for assistance. Nothing in this Policy diminishes or waives any statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
SECTION 17: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All content on our Platform, including text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of our company or our content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, and design right laws.
17.1 Our Intellectual Property
The trademarks, service marks, logos, and trade names displayed on our Platform are registered and unregistered marks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties. Nothing in this Policy grants you any right or license to use any of our intellectual property without our express prior written consent. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property may constitute infringement and expose you to civil and criminal liability.
17.2 Limited License to Users
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use our Platform for your personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to the terms of this Policy. This license does not permit you to: copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, or download any content from our Platform for commercial purposes; create derivative works based on our content; reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software on our Platform; use our Platform in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it; or use automated tools or scripts to access or interact with our Platform without our prior written consent.
17.3 User-Generated Content License
By submitting any content to our Platform (including reviews, photographs, videos, and comments), you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, and create derivative works from that content in any media, for any purpose including marketing and advertising, without any compensation to you. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant this license and that your content does not infringe any third-party rights.
SECTION 18: DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This section sets out important limitations on our liability to you. Please read it carefully.
18.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

We may offer free trial periods for certain Subscription Services. At the end of a free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial period expires.

28.4 Subscription Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Subscription Services at any time for breach of this Policy, for failure to pay subscription fees when due, or for any other reason at our sole discretion.
