LIABILITY

You will not hold SHOPCREATIVEBARBADOS Marketplace responsible for any loss you may incur as a result of SHOPCREATIVEBARBADOS Marketplace taking any of the actions described in the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or Copyright Policy above nor for other users’ actions or inactions, including, without limitation, things they post, items they list or their destruction of allegedly fake items. Our site is a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a fixed price format. At no point do we have possession of anything listed or sold through SHOPCREATIVEBARBADOS Marketplace.

We do not review users’ listings or content and we are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programmes, we have no control over and do not guarantee:

  • the quality, safety or legality of items advertised;
  • the truth or accuracy of listings;
  • the truth or accuracy of feedback or other content posted by users on our sites;
  • the ability of sellers to sell items;
  • the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

Although we use techniques that aim to verify the accuracy and truth of the information provided by our users, user verification on the internet is difficult. SHOPCREATIVEBARBADOS Marketplace cannot and does not confirm, and is not responsible for ensuring, the accuracy or truthfulness of users’ purported identities or the validity of the information which they provide to us or post on our sites.

We (including our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, advocates, officers, directors, agents and employees) shall not be liable to you in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for any business losses, such as loss of data, profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, reputation or business interruption or for any losses which are not reasonably foreseeable by us arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your inability to use our sites and services.

Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees (under SHOPCREATIVEBARBADOS Marketplace Fees and Services) you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, or (b) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence of our agents or employees or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

RELEASE

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access our site for any purpose without our express hand-written permission.

RETURNS & REFUNDS FOR CUSTOMERS

All vendors must agree to the return & refund policy:

What is your returns policy?

Orders can be returned for a full refund back to your original payment method if done within 28days. If you return your order between 29-45 days of it being delivered, you’ll receive your refund in the form of a gift voucher and are subject to our returns policy, which you can find out more about below.

Returning an unwanted item?

We get it, sometimes something just doesn’t work for you and you want your money back. Don’t worry, as long as an item is still in its original condition, we accept returns, subject to the rules below, which includes rules around fair use. None of these rules affect your statutory rights.

 

If you return an item requesting a refund within 28 days of the item being delivered to you or available for collection, we’ll give you a full refund by way of the original payment method.

 

If you return an item requesting a refund within 29 and 45 of the item being delivered to you or available for collection, we’ll give you an shopcreatviebarbados gift voucher for the amount equivalent to the price you paid for them.

 

We aim to refund you within 14 days of receiving the returned item.

 

If you request a refund for an item during the above time frames but you can’t return it to us for some reason, please get in touch – but any refund will be at our discretion.

 

After that?

We don’t accept returns for unwanted items after the relevant returns period above. If you try to make a return, we may have to send it back to your default delivery address and ask you to cover the delivery costs.

 

Original condition

Hygiene and our customers’ safety is super important, so certain items can’t be returned for refunds including:

Face + body products if opened, used or protective seal is not intact

Underwear if the hygiene seal is not intact or any labels have been broken

Swimwear if the hygiene seal is not intact or any labels have been broken

Pierced jewellery if the seal has been tampered with or is broken.

 

None of this affects your statutory rights.

Of course, it is fine to try an item on like you would in a shop, but please don’t actually wear it. If an item is returned to us damaged, worn or in an unsuitable condition, we won’t be able to give you a refund and we may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

All returned items should be sent in their original condition and packaging where possible, including tags (e.g., shoes should be returned with the original shoe box).

 

Responsibility

Returned items are your responsibility until they reach us, so make sure they’re packed up properly and can’t get damaged on the way!

As the parcel remains your responsibility until it arrives back with us, ensure that you get proof of postage in case you need to contact us about your return.

We’re not responsible for any items that are returned to us by mistake (it happens!). If we’re able to locate the items (it’s not always possible) and you’d like these returned to you, we may ask you to cover the delivery cost.

 

Fair use

If we notice an unusual pattern of returns activity that doesn’t sit right: e.g. We suspect someone is actually wearing their purchases and then returning them, ordering and returning items more than usual; or the items returned don’t match what you ordered – then we might have to deactivate the account and any associated accounts. If this happens to you and you think we’ve made a mistake, please get in touch with customer care and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

If your account has been deactivated and you need to make a valid return, contact us. We will give you a returns label although you will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us.

Please note, we reserve the right to take legal action against you if the items you return don’t match what you ordered.

 

Can I exchange my item?

We don’t offer exchanges. If you would like a different size or colour, please return your unwanted item and place a new order.
