Welcome to Shopee Mall. Shopee Mall is an additional service on Shopee where Shopee-registered Buyers will be able to enjoy the rights and privileges described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Services (these “Shopee Mall Terms of Service”) when purchasing Mall Items (defined below) on Shopee Mall from any of our participating Sellers that have been carefully selected by Shopee (such Sellers, “Mall Sellers”, and such Buyers, “Mall Buyers”). If you are a Mall Buyer, you will be deemed to have consented to the terms and conditions described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service when you make purchases on Shopee Mall. Similarly, if you are a Mall Seller, you will be deemed to have consented to the terms and conditions described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service by your continued participation in Shopee Mall. These Shopee Mall Terms of Service supplement the Terms of Service and the other Shopee Policies, of which these Shopee Mall Terms of Service forms a part – please read the Terms of Service and the other Shopee Policies available on the Site as they contain important information regarding your rights and obligations. Any terms that are used in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service that are not defined here will have the meanings given to such terms in the Terms of Service and/or the applicable Shopee Policy. All terms and conditions described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service are subject to change at Shopee’s discretion pursuant to the Terms of Service.
1. Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy
1.1 Mall Buyer may apply for a refund and/or return of an item purchased on Shopee Mall (a “Mall Item”) by completing a return/refund request and returning the Mall Item as described below at any time within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date that Mall Item was first made available for Mall Buyer to take delivery (the “Free Return Period”). Usually, that date would be the date Mall Buyer received delivery of the Mall Item; however, if Mall Buyer did not receive the Mall Item because of Mall Buyer’s absence from the destination address or Mall Buyer’s failure to input the proper destination address, that date would be the date on which delivery attempt was first made.
1.2 Please note that Mall Buyer must ship the Mall Item to a location designated by Shopee within ten (10) calendar days after the return request is raised and in any event no later than the last day of the Free Return Period. Mall Items that are returned may be returned via Singpost, PopStation or a courier designated by Shopee by no later than the last day of the Free Return Period. Shopee reserves the right to reject any application where the Mall Item was dispatched later than ten (10) calendar days after the return request is raised.
1.3 The approval of your request for refund and return will be made by Shopee in its sole discretion after reviewing your completed refund/return request and inspecting the condition of the Mall Item that was returned. Mall Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Shopee’s decision is final, conclusive and binding, and covenants and agrees that it will not bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against Shopee or its affiliates in relation to such decision. The Mall Item that was returned must be, at a minimum, in the following conditions:
• Complete, with all items included in the purchase; and
• With original product packaging and price tags.
If any additional conditions apply to a certain Mall Item, Shopee will inform you via the Site, SMS or email. The conditions for the Mall Items subject to return are referred to as the “Return Conditions”.
1.4 In addition, please note that certain types of Mall Items may be excluded from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service, including but not limited to:
• Electronics;
• Digital goods, such as mobile top-up cards, audio or video recording or software;
• Goods that are perishable or may otherwise deteriorate or expire rapidly, such as groceries; and
• Goods that are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons, such as cosmetics, swimwear and underwear.
For a current list of Mall Items that are not returnable due to change of mind, please refer to the Shopee Help Centre.
If any Mall Item is excluded from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service, Shopee will make reasonable efforts to publish that information on our Site or otherwise inform the Mall Buyers; however, please note that our policies may change without notice at any time and certain Mall Items may be subject to exclusion after Mall Buyer has purchased them. Any Mall Item that is subject to exclusion from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service is referred to as an “Excluded Item”.

• that is an Excluded Item;
• that does not meet the Return Conditions; or
• if the Mall Item was returned in a manner that does not comply with Section 1.2 above.
Please note that Shopee’s determination will be based on the list of terms of conditions in effect at the time of such determination (including the list of Excluded Items, the Return Conditions and the Free Return Period), and therefore pursuant to Section 1.5 above, such list of Excluded Items, the Return Conditions and/or the length of Free Return Period may be different from those in effect at the time Mall Buyer has completed the refund/return request and/or returned the Mall Item.
If Shopee rejects a request for refund and return, Shopee will organize the delivery of such Mall Item to the relevant Mall Buyer’s address to which the Mall Item was originally delivered, and Shopee shall be entitled to seek compensation from such Mall Buyer for any costs incurred in delivering the Mall Item back to such Mall Buyer.
