● 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;

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 AG Store to request AG Store 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 AG Store informing you of your
selection to participate in the AG Store Preferred Seller
Program. If you decide not to participate in the AG Store Preferred
Seller Program at any time, please inform AG Store in writing;
otherwise, you will be deemed to have elected to continue your participation in
the AG Store Preferred Seller Program and consented to the terms and
conditions set out in this Refunds and Return Policy. AG Store may,
at any time and at its sole discretion, suspend or remove any Preferred Seller
from the AG Store Preferred Seller Program.
AG Store’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 AG Store.
For any refund or return request approved by Exit
Shop, AG Store 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 AG Store 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), AG Store 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 AG Store within
seven (7) days of receiving the Email Notification (“Notification Period”) if
Preferred Seller does not receive the returned Item. Failure to
notify AG Store 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, AG Store 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 AG Store where
the relevant Item was received by AG Store, AG Store will
organize the delivery of such Item to the relevant Buyer’s address pursuant to
Section 2 above.
Where AG Store approves any refund or return
request, Preferred Seller may appeal such decision by contacting AG Store and
providing evidence in support of such appeal. If AG Store 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 AG Store 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 AG Store receives an application from
Buyer for the return of the Item and/or refund, AG Store will notify
Seller in writing. Seller may respond to Buyer’s application according to the
steps provided by AG Store in the written notification. Seller must
respond within the time-frame stipulated in the written notification (the
“Stipulated Period”). Should AG Store not hear from Seller within
the Stipulated Period, AG Store will assume that Seller has no
response to Buyer’s application and will proceed to assess Buyer’s application
without further notice to Seller. AG Store 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

received the confirmation from Seller that Seller has received the returned
Item. In the event where AG Store does not hear from Seller within a
