AliExpress “Free Return” ProgramTerms and ConditionsPlease read these terms and conditions carefully! By using AliExpress services you will be deemed to have consented to these terms and conditions. Please pay attention to provisions that exclude or limit your rights, terms of governing law and jurisdiction, and or other terms which may appear in bold and/or underlined letters.Article 1 In relation to offers concluded on AliExpress.com for selected merchandise with the program icon (such selected merchandise - “Participating Product”), the seller of such Participant Products who has agreed to participate in this Free Return program (“Participating Sellers”) shall provide all buyers of Participating Products with a guarantee of 15-day return without cause (“Free Return Service”) in accordance with these terms and conditions herein (“Rules”). In respect of all Participating Products, the Participating Seller shall not unilaterally declare that he/she does not support the 15-day return without cause. However, this does not prevent the Participating Seller from providing the buyer a return policy superior to the Free Return Service. Article 2 Subject to the Rules, Buyers who satisfy certain requirements as determined by AliExpress at its sole discretion (“Participating Buyers”) shall be entitled to deliver the Participating Products to the free return warehouse specified by the Participating Seller (“Free Return Warehouse”) free of charge (“Free Delivery Service”). The Participating Buyer acknowledges that he or she will only be entitled to enjoy the Free Delivery Service once for each order containing Participating Product(s). Buyers that may not use the Free Delivery Service shall still be entitled to enjoy the Free Return Service; however, buyers that may not use the Free Return Service are automatically excluded from the Free Delivery Service.Article 3 With the Free Return Service, a buyer can apply for a return and refund of a Participating Product without cause within 15 days from, as the case may be, 1) the date when the buyer confirms receipt of the Participating Product, or 2) the date when the system automatically confirms receipt of the Participating Product after confirming that the Product has been duly delivered, through "open a Dispute" on the AliExpress order page if the Participating Product meets the standards of intactness as stipulated in Article 5. After the Participating Product has been shipped to Free Return Warehouse and verified by the Free Return Warehouse to meet the standards of intactness prescribed in Article 5, buyer may receive the refund from the corresponding Participating Seller in accordance with these Rules. If the Participating Product returned by the buyer does not meet the standards of intactness, Free Return Warehouse will ship such Participating Product back to the buyer, with the cost of shipment to be borne by the buyer. Where the buyer applies for the Free Return Service as mentioned above and such buyer is not able to enjoy the Free Delivery Service or chooses not to use the Free Delivery Service, the buyer shall arrange for shipment by himself or herself and fill in the shipment tracking number at the “Dispute” page on AliExpress. The buyer acknowledges that if such buyer arranges for shipment by himself or herself as aforementioned, the risk of loss passes from the buyer to the Free Return Warehouse at the time of receipt of products by the Free Return Warehouse.

For example, a seller adds a clause that unilaterally exempts the seller from any responsibility or transfers risks to buyers. As long as the seller does not violate laws and regulations and AliExpress Rules, the clause is valid. Likewise, for example, if a seller commits to "ten thousand times compensation for one counterfeit" in order to attract more customers, the buyer is entitled to require the seller to honor the promise. Examples of invalid clauses: 1. If you leave a bad review, we will not offer you customer service after sales. 2. We do not accept bad reviews.

The product description allows buyers to understand what the product is really like before purchase, and effectively reduces disputes. B. What information shall sellers provide about the product? Sellers shall provide a complete and accurate description about the product's basic attributes, qualities, defects, and other necessary information. C. What kind of description will be regarded as inaccurate or incomplete?

Valid product descriptions include but are not limited to the following information: 1. Information about the product, which is passed from sellers to buyers through all AliExpress channels including the product description page, intra-net messages, TradeManager, and Email.

Sellers need to pay attention to updates to the Rules.4.3 Rules about expired orders4.3.1 Buyer payment timeout: If a buyer does not pay for an order or the payment is not credited within 20 days from the order being placed, the order will time out and closed.4.3.2 Orders canceled by buyers: A buyer can ask to cancel orders after the buyer has paid for the order and before the seller has shipped the product.After a buyer has asked to cancel an order, sellers can negotiate with the buyer on cancellation. If the seller agrees to cancel the order, the order will be closed and the buyer will get a full refund.If the seller does not agree to cancel the order and has shipped the goods, the order will continue to be processed.If the seller does not do anything until the shipment times out, the order will be closed and the buyer will get a full refund.If the seller has shipped parts of the order, but does not complete shipment before the end of the shipment period, the order will be closed and the buyer will get a full refund.4.3.3 Seller shipment timeout: After a buyer has paid for an order, sellers have a certain period of time to prepare the goods for shipment.

If a seller does not ship the complete order before the negotiated date, the order will be closed and the buyer will get a full refund. ExplanationWhy AliExpress allows an extension to the shipment period?An extension to the shipment period allows enough time for sellers to prepare and ship the goods, so that the order will not be closed. However, sellers should avoid using the extension as much as possible, and provide an accurate time when they set the shipment date. If sellers do have difficulties, they can negotiate with buyers to ask them for an extension.4.3.4 Buyer confirmation timeout: After sellers claim that all goods have been shipped, buyers should confirm receipt within the delivery time to which the seller committed.

During this period, sellers shall answer inquiries from buyers about the shipment. If a buyer has evidences showing that the buyer did not receive the goods, the seller can extend the time for the buyer to confirm receipt. If a buyer does not confirm receipt and does not apply for a refund, the confirmation time shall expire and the order will be regarded as completed.4.3.5 Refund application by buyers: once goods have been shipped, if delivery time exceeds the time to which the seller has committed, a buyer can apply for a refund.4.4 Shipping4.4.1 Sellers shall choose the shipping services in accordance with the buyer's choice.

If a buyer does not receive the goods after the seller has shipped the goods and issued the shipment notice, the buyer can apply for a refund within 15 days of receiving the shipment notice. If the buyer is not satisfied with the goods received, the buyer can apply for a refund and/ or return within 15 days from receiving the goods. Buyers can refund and/ or return items according with Spanish law.4.5.2 When a buyer submits or modifies a dispute, if the dispute has not already been escalated to AliExpress, sellers must accept or reject the application within two working days (five normal days); otherwise the order will be processed as per buyer’s dispute proposal.4.5.3 If the buyer and seller come to an agreement within seven days from the application date of the dispute, the order will be processed in accordance with the agreement reached by both parties; if the buyer and seller cannot reach an agreement within seven days, AliExpress will intervene to settle the dispute.If the reason for the refund application by the buyer is Goods not received—goods in transit, the system will automatically submit the dispute to AliExpress for a decision when the process reaches the time limit.4.5.4 To improve a buyer's user experience and confidence with the AliExpress platform and AliExpress sellers, AliExpress encourages sellers to reach an agreement with buyers as possible as they can. If they cannot reach an agreement, AliExpress will initiate to intervene in the dispute and provide a solution.4.5.5 If the buyer and seller have reached a refund agreement and the buyer agrees to return the goods, the buyer must return the goods within 10 days from the dispute agreement date. Buyers must send a shipment notice via the AliExpress system and goods must be returned in the condition in which they were shipped, such as labels intact for apparel goods.

This will be escalated to AliExpress for dispute resolution.4.6 Feedback4.6.1 Feedback on the AliExpress platform is divided into credit feedback and seller ratings by category. The following figure shows the two types of feedback:Credit feedback is given by the buyers and the sellers to each other with respect to the other party's credit after orders have been completed. One credit feedback record is composed of a five star-based rating and a customer review. Seller ratings by category is anonymously made by the buyers to rate the sellers after orders have been completed, in terms of Item as described, Communication, and Shipping speed. Only the buyers can rate the sellers on these three aspects. Credit feedback is made by both the buyers and the sellers, but seller ratings by category is made by the buyers only.4.6.2 Both the buyers and the sellers can leave a feedback within 30 days after the order has been completed.4.6.3 If neither the buyers nor the sellers leave a feedback , the order will not have any feedback records. If party A leave a feedback on party B within this period, while party B does not leave a feedback on party A, the system will not generate a default feedback record on party A. (Neither will the system generate a default feedback record of seller ratings by category.) 4.6.4 How to calculate Positive Feedback Ratings of goods/sellers and Feedback Score of the sellers: 1) If a buyer leaves a seller with one feedback record only within the same ten days (the ten days refers to the first day to the 10th day of a month in US time, or the 11th day to the 20th day, or the 21st day to the 31st day), the feedback rate of the buyer's order is the rating of this feedback record;2) If a buyer leaves a seller with several feedback records in the same ten days (the ten days refers to the first day to the 10th day of a month in US time, or the 11th day to the 20th day, or the 21st day to the 31st day), the seller receives only one record of each feedback type (positive feedback, general feedback, and negative feedback) (even if one order contains multiple goods). 3) As to seller rating by category, if a buyer provides a seller with several feedback records on one aspect of an Item as described, Communication, and Shipping speed in the same ten days (the ten days refers to the first day to the 10th day of a month in US time, or the 11th day to the 20th day, or the 21st day to the 31st day), the seller receives only one record. The average score of this record in the ten days = The buyer's total score in one aspect/The number of rating times (The result is the nearest whole number.)4) In the following three circumstances, regardless of whether the buyers leave a positive or negative feedback record, the feedback records are not counted when the system calculates the positive feedback ratings and the feedback score, only customer comments will be displayed:a. The turnover of an order is less than US$5; (The turnover is the amount paid by the buyers deducted by the amount of refunds happened in the progress of an order (but not the after-sales refund).)b. Buyers submit the application to claim that they have not received goods, or returns that happened during disputes, and the buyers did not initiate cancellation of the application before disputes proceeded to the platform for a decision. c. Special goods including shipping costs, gifts, deposits, special links for bills, and pre-orders (the "black five" in short) The system will calculate the positive feedback ratings and feedback score for all goods and the sellers except for the three preceding circumstances. Regardless of how much an order is, the system adds one point to the total feedback score for a positive feedback record, the system deducts one point from the total feedback score for a negative feedback record, and the system does not add any point to or deduct any point from the total feedback score for a general feedback record. 5) The seller's total feedback score decides the seller's credit level and the shop's symbol that corresponds to the credit level. The corresponding relationship between symbols and credit scores are as follows:4.6.5 One feedback file comprises a recent feedback summary (the members' company name, positive feedback ratings in the most recent 6 months, the number of feedback records in the most recent 6 months, the credit level, and the membership start date), a feedback history (indexes including the positive feedback ratings, the general feedback ratings, the negative feedback ratings, the number of feedback records, and the average rate in the past one month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and those accumulated over a longer period of time), and the feedback records (all feedback records received and provided by members and the feedback records received and provided in a specified period).Positive feedback ratings = The number of positive feedback records in the most recent 6 months/The total number of positive and negative feedback records in the most recent 6 monthsNegative feedback ratings = The number of negative feedback records in the most recent 6 months/The total number of positive and negative feedback records in the most recent 6 monthsThe average rate = The total rating scores of all feedback records/The total number of feedback recordsThe average score in each aspect of seller ratings by category = The total score in this aspect made by the buyers/The number of feedback times (The result is the nearest whole number)4.6.6 As to credit feedback, when the buyers and the sellers receive negative feedback, they can post replies and explanations.4.6.7 AliExpress has the right to delete any comments containing personal attacks or other inappropriate comments. If the platform deletes the buyers' credit feedback, the record of the seller's rating by category corresponding to this credit feedback record is also deleted.4.6.8 AliExpress reserves the right to change the credit feedback system, including how to provide feedback, how to calculate the feedback ratings and other ratings and scores.4.7 Payment TransferTo guarantee transaction security on the platform and protect the legal rights of both the buyers and the sellers, as stated in the related agreements and rules, AliExpress and its

Please read these terms and conditions carefully! By using AliExpress services you will be deemed to have consented to these terms and conditions. Please pay attention to provisions that exclude or limit your rights, terms of governing law and jurisdiction, and or other terms which may appear in bold and/or underlined letters.

Article 1 In relation to offers concluded on AliExpress.com for selected merchandise with the program icon (such selected merchandise - “Participating Product”), the seller of such Participant Products who has agreed to participate in this Free Return program (“Participating Sellers”) shall provide all buyers of Participating Products with a guarantee of 15-day return without cause (“Free Return Service”) in accordance with these terms and conditions herein (“Rules”).

If the Participating Product returned by the buyer does not meet the standards of intactness, Free Return Warehouse will ship such Participating Product back to the buyer, with the cost of shipment to be borne by the buyer. Where the buyer applies for the Free Return Service as mentioned above and such buyer is not able to enjoy the Free Delivery Service or chooses not to use the Free Delivery Service, the buyer shall arrange for shipment by himself or herself and fill in the shipment tracking number at the “Dispute” page on AliExpress. The buyer acknowledges that if such buyer arranges for shipment by himself or herself as aforementioned, the risk of loss passes from the buyer to the Free Return Warehouse at the time of receipt of products by the Free Return Warehouse. With the Free Return Service, if the Free Return Warehouse does not receive the returned Participating Product within 7 days after buyer submitted shipment tracking number or the Free Return Warehouse does not receive the corresponding Participating Product, AliExpress shall be entitled to determine liability upon arbitration according to the AliExpress rules and protocols.

Article 4 With the Free Delivery Service, a Participating Buyer can ship the Participating Products through the delivery service provider specified by the Participating Seller after such Participating Buyer has “opened a Dispute” according to Article 3. Where the Participating Buyer uses the Free Delivery Service, the shipping tracking number will be automatically uploaded to the system. The Participating Buyer acknowledges that if such Participating Buyer uses the Free Delivery Service, the risk of loss passes from the Participating Buyer to the delivery service provider specified by the Participating Seller at the time of receipt of products by the delivery service provider specified by the Participating Seller. With the Free Delivery Service, if the Free Return Warehouse does not receive the corresponding Participating Product, AliExpress shall be entitled to determine liability according to the AliExpress rules and protocols.

Article 5 In order to enjoy the Free Return Service, the Participating Product being returned by the buyer shall meet the standards of intactness as specifiedbelow:

1. The Participating Product has remained its original quality and functioning. The buyer shall ensure that the returned Participating Product and all accompanying accessories (such as tags, manuals, and warranty cards) are complete and remained their original quality and functioning, and show no signs of damage or contamination, the anti-counterfeiting mark has not been scraped, any activation/authorization has not been made, and there are no traces of usage on the appearance or other traces which indicate unreasonable personal use.

2. The buyer’s opening of package for inspection or testing to verify the Participating Product’s quality and functioning is reasonable and does not affect the Participating Product’s intactness. Where any use of a Participating Product by the buyer results in significant devaluation, the returned Participating Product shall be deemed defective and not in line with the standard of intactness.

3. Buyer understands that the packaging is an integral part of the Participating Product and consist part of the offer from the Participating Seller; and any use of and/or defect(s) to the packaging caused by the buyer may result in devaluation of the Participating Product. Therefore, the buyer shall ensure the packaging of the returned Participating Product is full and intact. In terms of packaging with special value, design, material and/or functions, buyer and/or his or her courier shall ensure all handling is carried out in accordance with the requirement about product protection and packaging specified by the Participating Seller upon fulfillment of the transaction.

(1) Standards of intactness for regular package:

There is no missing part in the original package, and the form, shape and structure of the package is complete. However, unavoidable changes in form, shape and/or structure resulting from transportation and unpacking, including, but not limited to, minor to moderate deformation, stain and/or partial damage, shall not be considered to affect the intactness of the regular package.

(2)Standards of intactness of special package:

If the package contains value added parts, such as an anti-counterfeiting feature, special designs or functions, or markers or other indicators representing commemorative value, the Participating Seller may make requirements of special protection of the package to the buyer. Where there are reasonable package protection requirements prominently and explicitly specified by the Participating Seller, the buyer shall protect the package proactively and carefully. If the damage of such package results in devaluation and/or loss of functions, the Product will be devalued and thus deemed as defective and not in line with the standard of intactness.

However, where the Participating Seller makes requirement about protection of special packages but fails to do so in a prominent and explicit way, the standards of intactness for regular package shall apply. 

Where the package does not contain any special value added parts as mentioned above, the standards of intactness for regular package shall apply.

Article 6 Loss or damage of gift and loss of invoice shall not affect the return of Participating Product. However, for damage or loss of gift, a deduction from the refund shall be made based on the gift’s market price; for loss of invoice, the buyer shall bear the corresponding tax.

Article 7 If a buyer does not use the Free Delivery Service, the buyer shall bear the cost of returning the Participating Product to Free Return Warehouse (“Cost of Return”) when applying for the Free Return Service. In addition to the Cost of Return, whether or not the buyer uses the Free Delivery Service, the buyer shall bear the cost of shipping Participating Product by Participating Seller to him or her, if the Participating Product is subject to conditional free shipping and the buyer’s partial return results in nonsatisfaction of the free shipping conditions, AliExpress shall deduct shipment costs borne by the buyer on behalf of Participating Seller from the refund payable to the buyer.

Where AliExpress determines, at its sole and absolute discretion, that the buyer has abused its rights by repeatedly applying for the Free Return Service and/or the
Free Delivery Service (if applicable) or showing a high rate for orders applying for the Free Return Service and/or the Free Delivery Service (if applicable), the buyer shall bear all shipping costs, and AliExpress shall be entitled to deduct all shipping costs from the refund and may deny the same buyer’s future eligibility of the Free Return Service and/or the Free Delivery Service.

Article 8 Whether a product is a “Participating Product” with the Free Return Service offer and/or the Free Delivery Service offer (if applicable) shall be determined by whether such product(s) bear a "Free Return" icon, which may be determined and/or changed by AliExpress in its own discretion.

Article 9 Under any of following circumstances, the Participating Seller shall not be obliged in any way to offer the Free Return Service, Free Delivery Service (if applicable) and/or provide the refund (unless otherwise required by applicable laws or the AliExpress rules):

(1) Fraud on the part of the buyer;

(2) Wars, military actions, terrorist events, strikes, riots, theft, robbery;

(3) Confiscation by relevant government authorities;

(4) Nuclear reaction, nuclear radiation, radioactive or any other form of contamination;

(5) Natural disasters including, but not limited to, earthquakes, lightning strokes, fires, explosions, storms, floods, typhoons;

(6) Improper conduct of the buyer in violation of the instructions;

(7) Natural consumption or wear and tear of the product;

(8) Product recall;

(9) External causes during transportation or storage; and

(10) Defects unable to be detected with the technology in domestic market at the time of manufacture.

Article 10 Under the Free Return Service, the Participating Seller shall not be responsible for losses and costs of the following products (unless otherwise required by applicable laws or AliExpress rules), and the Participating Seller shall not be under any obligation to provide Free Delivery Service for the following products:

(1) Quality issues of a product have been acknowledged and accepted by the buyer;

(2) Products are sold after the Participating Seller has been suspended, closed down or bankrupted.

Article 11 These Rules shall take effect on August 20th, 2019. However AliExpress is entitled to amend these Rules at any time by posting the relevant amended and restated Rules on AliExpress.com, without further notice to buyers. By continuing to purchase Participating Product(s), use the Free Return Service, and/or use the Free Return Service, users and buyers agree that the amended and restated Rules will apply and are deemed to have accepted the amended and restated Rules.

Article 12 These Rules are governed, interpreted and enforced by the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any and all legal actions, claims or proceedings arising out of, or in connection with these Rules must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hong Kong.

Article 13 These Rules are published in English and multiple languages. In case of any discrepancy between different language versions, the English one shall prevail.
