Refund Policy

Effective Date: January 2025

1. Understanding Your Purchase

When you click on a deal or product link on KartValue and make a purchase, you are buying directly from a third-party retailer (our partner merchant). The transaction occurs on the retailer's website, not on KartValue's platform.

This means:

• The retailer processes your payment
• The retailer fulfills and ships your order
• The retailer's terms and conditions govern your purchase
• The retailer's refund and return policy applies to your order

2. How to Request a Refund or Return

2.1 Contact the Retailer First

For any issues with your purchase, including refunds, returns, exchanges, or damaged items, you must contact the retailer directly:

1. Check the retailer's website for their customer service contact information
2. Review the retailer's specific refund and return policy
3. Contact the retailer's customer support with your order details
4. Follow the retailer's instructions for returning items or requesting refunds

2.2 KartValue's Role

While KartValue cannot directly process refunds for purchases made through our partner retailers, we can assist you by:

• Providing the retailer's contact information and customer service details
• Helping you understand the retailer's refund policy
• Acting as an intermediary if communication with the retailer is difficult
• Removing untrustworthy retailers from our platform if patterns of poor service emerge

3. Common Refund Scenarios

Wrong Item Received:

• Contact the retailer's customer service immediately
• Provide your order number and details of the incorrect item

Item Not as Described:

• Review the retailer's "item not as described" policy
• Contact customer service with specific details about the discrepancy
• Return policies vary by retailer but typically allow returns within 14-30 days

3.2 Order Cancellations

Before Shipment:

• Contact the retailer as soon as possible to cancel your order
• Many retailers allow cancellations before the item ships
• Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days

After Shipment:

• You may need to receive the item and then initiate a return
• Return shipping costs may apply depending on the retailer's policy
• Some retailers offer prepaid return labels

3.3 Non-Delivery or Lost Packages

• Allow the estimated delivery time to pass before reporting non-delivery
• Contact the retailer with your tracking number
• The retailer will typically work with the shipping carrier to locate your package
• If the package is confirmed lost, the retailer should offer a replacement or refund

4. Refund Processing Times

Refund processing times vary by retailer and payment method:

• Retailer Processing: 3-10 business days after they receive the returned item
• Credit Card Refunds: Additional 3-5 business days for the credit to appear
• PayPal Refunds: Usually 1-3 business days
• Bank Transfers: May take 5-10 business days

Note: These are general timeframes. Always check with the specific retailer for their exact refund processing times.
