Hi, how can we help?

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 Service (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 the return/refund request on the Site and returning the Mall Item as described below at any time prior to the expiry of the Shopee Guarantee Period as stated in the Terms of Service.

1.2     Please note that Mall Buyer must ship or drop off the Mall Item to or at a location designated by Shopee within five (5) days after the return/refund request is raised and in any event no later than the last day of the Shopee Guarantee Period. All Mall Items that are returned must be returned via a courier designated by Shopee by no later than the last day of the Shopee Guarantee Period. Shopee reserves the right to reject any return/refund request application where the Mall Item was shipped or dropped off by Mall Buyer later than five (5) days after the return/refund request is raised.

Shopee will notify Mall Seller in writing if Shopee receives a return/refund request from Mall Buyer. Mall Seller shall respond to Mall Buyer’s return/refund request according to the steps provided by Shopee in the written notification. Mall Seller must respond within the timeframe stipulated in Shopee’s written notification (the “Stipulated Period”). Should Shopee not hear from Mall Seller within the Stipulated Period, Shopee will assume that Mall Seller has no response to Mall Buyer’s return/refund request and will proceed to assess Mall Buyer’s return/refund request without further notice to Mall Seller. Shopee will review each Mall Seller’s response on a case-by-case basis and, in its sole discretion, determine whether Mall Buyer’s return/refund request may be successful against the circumstances stated by Mall Seller.

1.3     The approval of Mall Buyer’s return/refund request will be made by Shopee and/or Seller (as appropriate) in its sole discretion after reviewing Mall Buyer’s completed return/refund request and inspecting the condition of the Mall Item that was returned. In all cases, 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.

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 this Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy described in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service, including:

If any Mall Item is excluded from this Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy described in this 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 this Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy described in this Shopee Mall Terms of Service is referred to as an “Excluded Item”.

1.5     Shopee reserves the right to (a) add to or otherwise amend the list of Excluded Items and/or the Return Conditions and (b) amend, terminate, or suspend this Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy described in this Shopee Mall Terms of Service (including the length of the Shopee Guarantee Period), in each case, at any time in its sole discretion.

1.6    Shopee may reject in its sole discretion any returned Mall Item (and the related return/refund request):

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 Shopee Guarantee Period), and therefore pursuant to Section 1.5 above, such list of Excluded Items, the Return Conditions and/or the length of Shopee Guarantee Period may be different from those in effect at the time Mall Buyer has completed the return/refund request and/or returned the Mall Item.

Where applicable, if Shopee rejects a return/refund request where the returned Mall Item is received by Shopee/Mall Seller, Shopee/Mall Seller 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 the one to cover any costs incurred in delivering the Mall Item back to such Mall Buyer.

1.7     Shopee reserves the right to terminate a User’s access to Shopee Mall if it suspects any abuse of the Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy described in this Shopee Mall Terms of Service and, if Shopee deems appropriate, may also impose penalties (including recovery of any fees or charges incurred as a consequence of such abuse).

1.8     This Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy supplements the Refunds and Return Policy. If there is any inconsistency, this Shopee Mall Refunds and Return Policy will prevail in respect of Mall Items.

2.       Mall Seller Terms and Conditions

2.1     If you are a Mall Seller, you should have received a separate written notification from Shopee informing you of your selection to participate in Shopee Mall. If you decide not to participate in Shopee Mall at any time, please inform Shopee in writing; otherwise, you will be deemed to have elected to continue your participation in Shopee Mall and consented to the terms and conditions set out in these Shopee Mall Terms of Service.

2.2     Each Mall Seller warrants that the Mall Item it offers on Shopee Mall and actually delivered to Mall Buyer (a) complies with (i) applicable law and (ii) the specifications listed (and made available to Mall Buyer) on the Site, including any and all product warranties, specifications, drawings, samples, performance criteria and all applicable quality, safety and hygiene requirements, and (b) will be free from defects. Each Mall Seller understands and agrees that it will be responsible for any non-conformity or defect in, or any public or private recall of, any of the Mall Items, and will hold Shopee harmless from any losses relating to the foregoing.

2.3     If a Mall Seller is found to have offered or sold any Mall Item on Shopee Mall that is restricted under Shopee’s Prohibited and Restricted Items Policy, Shopee reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, remove the offending Mall Items from Shopee Mall, and execute refunds (and any adjustments) to Mall Buyers who have purchased such Mall Items (even if Mall Buyers did not comply with any of the requirements described in Section 1 above), in which case Mall Seller agrees to reimburse Shopee for all such refunds (including any related costs and charges) and authorizes Shopee to deduct such amounts from any amounts payable to Mall Seller or take such other action as deemed appropriate by Shopee in its discretion.

2.4     Shopee’s determination to approve a refund or return of a Mall Item pursuant to Section 1 above is binding on the relevant Mall Seller. Mall Sellers agree to comply and do all such things as necessary to give effect to a Mall Buyer’s return/refund request approved by Shopee. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of Mall Seller under this Section will apply whether or not Mall Seller has opted to handle its own returns by submitting an application to Shopee’s Direct Return-to-Seller Program.

2.5     For any return/refund request approved by Shopee where the returned Mall item is received by Shopee, Shopee will organize the delivery of the relevant returned Mall Item to the address provided by the relevant Mall Seller to Shopee in writing for the completion of the refund and return process, at no additional cost to such Mall Seller so long as such address is in the country in which the relevant Mall Item was listed for sale on the Site (a “Local Address”). If Mall Seller fails to provide a Local Address for return of the returned Mall Item or otherwise fails to accept delivery of the returned Mall Item within a reasonable period of time (as determined by Shopee), Shopee reserves the right to dispose of such Mall Item in any manner it sees fit and Mall Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Mall Item.

2.6     Notwithstanding the above, Shopee may determine at its sole and absolute discretion that a Mall Item approved for refund or return shall not be returned to Mall Seller, and Mall Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Mall Item. 

2.7     For any refund or return rejected by Shopee where the relevant Mall Item was received by Shopee, Shopee will organize the delivery of such Mall Item to the relevant Mall Buyer’s address pursuant to Section 1.6 above.

2.8     Where Shopee approves any refund or return request, Mall Seller may appeal such decision by contacting Shopee and providing evidence in support of such appeal.  If Shopee upholds Mall Seller’s appeal, it will disburse all or part of the Buyer’s Purchase Monies to Mall Seller.  Mall Seller 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.

2.9    Notwithstanding any other clause in this Shopee Mall Terms of Service and other Shopee Policies, Shopee reserves the right to charge Mall Seller a fee for the administration of return/refund requests for and on behalf of Mall Seller. The amount and frequency of such fee shall be as Shopee may prescribe from time to time.

 
3.        Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Policy

3.1     Shopee is committed in ensuring that Mall Buyer receives his/her purchased Mall Items as expected. Shopee guarantees Mall Buyer that there will be no cancellations of his/her order except those caused by Mall Buyer.

3.2     If you are a Mall Seller, you agree to abide by the Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Policy be ensuring the availability of all Mall Items you listed for sale on the Site and accuracy of your pricing and doing such other actions and adopting such other practices that will prevent Mall Seller-initiated order cancellations. Failure to comply with this obligation may subject you to Shopee's Penalty Points System which may result in the suspension or termination of your Account and/or your access to Shopee Mall, among others.

3.3     If you are a Mall Buyer, in the event of an order cancellation not caused by you ("Qualified Order Cancellation"), Shopee may provide you a Shopee voucher ("Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher") in such amount and under such terms and conditions determined by Shopee from time to time. If you are eligible to receive a Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher, you will receive an in-app push notification within twenty-four (24) hours from the occurrence of the Qualified Order Cancellation, and you will need to claim the Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher within seven (7) days from the date of such notification; otherwise, the Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher will be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) Mall Buyer shall be entitled to receive a maximum of one (1) Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher per day, irrespective of the number of Qualified  Order Cancellations that occurred within that day; (b) Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Vouchers cannot be cashed in whole or in part or transferred in any way, are based on availability and are subject to the terms and conditions of usage (including validity period) as specified by Shopee from time to time; and (c) Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Vouchers are offered at Shopee's discretion and shall not constitute any admission of liability or wrongdoing by Shopee. By using the Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher, Mall Buyer unconditionally and unequivocally waives, releases and discharges Shopee from all actions, proceedings, claims, and demands whatsoever which Mall Buyer may have in respect of an order cancellation. For more information on the Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Policy and on how you may be issued a Shopee Mall Guaranteed Delivery Voucher, you may refer to this article in the Shopee PH Help Center.

4.       Shopee Mall 100% Authentic Product Policy

4.1     All products listed by Mall Sellers must be 100% authentic.

4.3      If requested by Shopee, Mall Seller shall promptly provide documentation to Shopee that proves (to Shopee’s reasonable satisfaction) the authenticity of the Mall Item including, but not limited to, manufacturer sales invoices, authorized distribution agreements and/or certificates of authenticity (“Proof of Authenticity”).

4.4     If the Mall Seller fails to provide Proof of Authenticity, Mall Seller shall:

(a)       accept the return of the Mall Item from Mall Buyer;

(b)       incur penalty points under Shopee's Penalty Points System;

(c)       refund to Mall Buyer thrice (300%) the amount that Mall Buyer paid for the Mall Item or, where Shopee has already refunded such amount to Mall Buyer, refund such amount to Shopee; and

(d)      be liable to compensate Shopee for such other costs, expenses, losses and liabilities suffered or incurred by Shopee (including, but not limited to, loss of goodwill) as determined at Shopee’s sole discretion.

4.5     In the event that Shopee determines, at its sole discretion, that Mall Seller has violated this Section 4, Shopee may take all appropriate measures, including but not limited to removing the counterfeit Mall Item listing from the Site, prohibiting the publication of the same or similar goods and/or restricting, suspending or terminating the Mall Seller's Account and/or access to Shopee Mall, and exercising the other remedies Shopee has in Section 7 of the Terms of Service. Mall Seller's obligations and liabilities under these Shopee Mall Terms of Service will not be affected by the restriction, suspension or termination of Mall Seller’s Account.

5.         Shopee Mall Commission Fees

5.1      Shopee charges a fee for all successful transactions completed by Mall Sellers on the Site (“Shopee Mall Commission Fee”). The Shopee Mall Commission Fee is borne by the Mall Seller and is calculated as a percentage of the Gross Settlement Price, which percentage varies depending on the category of the Mall Item sold (“Commission Rate”). To find out the applicable Commission Rate per Mall Item category, you may refer to this Seller Education Hub article. “Gross Settlement Price” means the final product price after deducting any Mall Seller-sponsored shop discounts or vouchers, rounded to the nearest peso. For the avoidance of doubt, the Gross Settlement Price shall not be affected by Site rebates, discounts, vouchers, and Shopee Coins. Further, the categorization of a Mall Item shall be at Shopee’s sole and absolute discretion. The Shopee Mall Commission Fee is inclusive of value-added tax.

5.2      Following the successful completion of a transaction, Shopee shall deduct the Shopee Mall Commission Fee, Transaction Fee, Seller's proportion of the Shipping Fee (if applicable), and witholding tax (if applicable) from the Buyer’s Purchase Monies and remit the balance to Mall Seller in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Terms of Service. Shopee shall issue to Mall Seller official receipts for the Shopee Mall Commission Fee and Transaction Fee and a Certificate of Creditable Tax Withheld at Source (BIR Form No. 2307) for the withholding tax deducted from the Buyer's Purchase Monies, if any, in accordance with applicable law. For more information on the applicable withholding tax to be deducted from your Buyer's Purchase Monies, if any, and how you could claim your Certificate of Creditable Tax Withheld at Source (BIR Form No. 2307) from Shopee, you may refer to this Seller Education Hub article.

5.3       For the avoidance of doubt, the Shopee Mall Commission Fee under this Shopee Mall Terms of Service applies in addition to the Transaction Fee under the Terms of Service and other fees Shopee charges for any rights and privileges Mall Seller is enjoying under any of Shopee's programs (including, but not limited to, Shopee Free Shipping Special Program and Shopee Coins Cashback Special Program).
