6.4.1 Refunds process for Significantly Not as Described Items. Except in the case of a counterfeit Item, if the Item is Significantly Not As Described, the process is as follows:

As a first step, Buyer and Seller have the right and chance to resolve the situation themselves and inform VINTED about their joint decision, whereby the Seller must respond to the return request from the Buyer within 72 hours from receipt of the request. In this case, VINTED commits to follow such a decision and reimburse the Buyer or the Seller as agreed from the amount retained in the escrow account.
If the Buyer and the Seller do not reach an agreement directly, do not want to settle the situation directly or if the Seller does not respond to the return request within 72 hours from receipt thereof, the issue can be escalated to VINTED, which may then ask the parties to provide evidence (e.g. photos, documentation, etc.) to support their position. After VINTED has reviewed the situation and in case VINTED considers that the Item/s is/are indeed Significantly Not as Described, VINTED will ask the Buyer to send the Item/s back to the Seller within 72 hours at the Buyer’s own costs. Once the Seller has received the Item/s back and marks the Item(s) as ‘received’ on the Site, provided that the Buyer has not received a refund or agreed to an alternative resolution related to the Item/s from another source, Vinted will cancel the Transaction and ensure reimbursement of the Buyer as stipulated in 9.4.

Counterfeit Items. For Items that the Buyer considers as counterfeit, after the Transaction is suspended within the Dispute Filing Period, Vinted will evaluate the return request and - in case Vinted deems this necessary - will ask the parties to provide more information evidencing the claim. Based on the information provided by the Users, VINTED will decide whether the return request falls under the scope of Buyer Protection. If there are strong indications that the received item is a counterfeit, the Buyer may not be required by Vinted to send back the item in order to get a refund, but this is decided by VINTED at its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis on the information available to Vinted.

6.4.2 Refunds process for damaged Items. In case the Buyer considers the Item to be damaged during transit, after the Transaction is suspended within the Dispute Filing Period, Vinted will evaluate the return request and - in case Vinted deems this necessary - will ask the parties to provide more information evidencing the claim. Based on the information provided by the parties, VINTED will decide whether the return request falls under the scope of Buyer Protection.

6.4.3 If the Item is considered Significantly Not as Described or is damaged during shipment, but the Buyer does not contact VINTED within the Dispute Filing Period, or confirms on the Site that the received Item was acceptable by clicking on the “Confirm Order” button, the Transaction is completed. In this case, the Buyer will not be entitled to make a return request or to receive any reimbursement under Buyer Protection.

6.5 Lost Items. If the Item/s is/are lost during shipping, the Buyer should:

contact VINTED’s customer support by sending a support request in accordance with section 1.2, or
send a cancellation request for the Seller in accordance with section 10.1. In case the cancellation request is rejected by the Seller, the request will be forwarded to customer support.

If it has been confirmed by VINTED that the Item(s) has been lost, on condition that the Buyer has not received a refund or agreed to an alternative resolution related to the Item/s from another source, the Buyer will be reimbursed in accordance with section 9.4.

6.6 VINTED does not provide return shipping services. The Buyer has to post the Item(s) to the return address provided by the Seller within three (3) days from receiving the corresponding notification from VINTED, at the Buyer’s own expense, unless otherwise agreed with the Seller.

8. SHIPPING

8.1 VINTED Users have access to the services of third party service providers specializing in transport and delivery of Items bought through the Site, as detailed below. VINTED may, at any time, use another third party provider such as these companies. The same rules as below will then immediately apply. From the moment the User chooses one or the other of these the Shipping options and pays VINTED, VINTED:

keeps the sum on the User’s escrow account;
confirms the payment towards the Seller on the Site; and
conveys the required information to send out the Item(s) to the Seller.

There are two (2) types of shipping options available on the Site:

1. Integrated Shipping Labels mean that VINTED automatically generates a shipping label to be sent and used by the Seller. Once the Transaction is completed (as per section 7.2), the Seller recovers the price of the Item. The Buyer Protection fee and the shipping fee is released to VINTED. You may choose from the shipping providers as listed here. Should the Item be lost or damaged during the shipping procedure, if the conditions in 6.4/5 are met, VINTED will reimburse the Buyer as stipulated in section 9.4. The Seller will benefit from compensation for a lost or damaged Item as identified and limited in the relevant compensation policy provided by the shipping provider. You can find out more about maximum compensation amounts depending on the provider used here.

FOR QUEBEC ONLY: Should the Item price be higher than this compensation limit, the Seller may reach out to the shipping provider directly to seek any additional compensation relating to a lost or damaged Item.

2. Shipping Instructions means that the Seller has to buy the shipping label on his/her own according to the instructions provided by VINTED. In this case, the purchase price of the Item, Buyer Protection fee, and the shipping fees paid by the Buyer (plus any applicable taxes on the shipping fees) are held in the Seller’s escrow account. The Seller must pay for the shipping according to VINTED’s shipping instructions and send the Item to the Buyer. Should the Seller fail to use and follow the shipping instructions provided by VINTED, the Seller will bear the risk and costs of any additional shipping fees incurred by him/her, will not be reimbursed by VINTED for these costs and will be responsible for shipping the item to the Buyer himself/herself. Once the transaction is completed, the Seller recovers the purchase price of the Item and the shipping fees held in escrow. You may choose from the shipping providers as listed here. Should the Item(s) be lost or damaged during shipping and if the conditions in 6.4/5 are met, VINTED will reimburse the Buyer as stipulated in section 9.4. Seller compensation will be borne by the shipping provider if the claim is accepted by them. The Terms and Conditions of the shipping provider that the User has chosen will apply, including the amount of available compensation which you can find here.

The Seller must in particular note down the tracking number for the shipment indicated on the Site.

8.2 The costs for the available Integrated Shipping (“Shipping Fees”) are shown after clicking on an Item in the Catalogue, on the detail page for the Item in question. The Shipping Fees are owed by the Buyer in addition to the purchase price for the Item in question and the Buyer Protection fee.

8.3 The Seller is responsible for shipping out the Item(s) within five (5) working days following the moment of purchase of the Item(s). If the Seller does not ship the items within these five (5) working, then the Buyer is entitled to request cancellation of the Transaction in accordance with section 10 below.

8.4 Instead of using Integrated Shipping Labels or Shipping Instructions, the Buyer and the Seller may also agree on personal delivery of the Item(s), using the Meet-up function. For this, the Buyer has to restrict his search in the Catalogue for Item(s) to a certain radius close from him/her. The Buyer will then be able to choose “Meet-Up” instead of Integrated Shipping Labels or Shipping Instructions in the checkout process for all Item(s) turned out by the search within the radius for which the Seller when uploading the Item(s) has enabled the Meet-Up function. After concluding the Transaction, Seller and Buyer will then have to agree between themselves on a meeting location for personal delivery. Shipping Fees do not apply.

9. PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

9.1 All prices are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CAD). Any applicable sales tax will be charged automatically based on where the Buyer resides. In cases where VINTED is obliged to collect sales tax on a Sale made by the User, VINTED will collect such sales tax via the payment method used by the User making the purchase. The amount of tax payable by a User will be displayed during the checkout process and also on the invoice issued by VINTED. VINTED will remit any sales taxes collected to the relevant governmental authorities in accordance with applicable law.

9.2 The Integrated Payment Service allows the Buyer to pay with credit card, debit card, virtual card or any other payment method approved for the Integrated Payment Service on the Site at the moment of concluding the Transaction.
