EcomBangla CORP is a multi-vendor marketplace where individual stores set their own refund and return policies. By making a purchase, you agree to the specific store's policies. This document outlines the general framework and your responsibilities regarding refunds and returns.
Important:
Each store on our platform may have different refund and return policies. Please review the specific store's policy before making a purchase. The store and user both agree to our terms and conditions while opening accounts and must follow them.
Upon delivery of physical products, customers must inspect the item immediately. If there is any problem with the product (damage, defect, or incorrect item), customers must note the issue and contact the store within 24 hours of delivery.
For physical products that have issues verified by the store:
- Customers can return the product by paying delivery charges ranging from 70 to 150 BDT (depending on location, size, and weight)
- The return shipping cost must be borne by the customer and paid upfront before return pickup
- The product must be in original condition with all packaging, tags, and accessories
- Photos of the damaged/defective product must be provided within 48 hours of delivery
- The store will process replacement or refund within 7 business days after receiving and verifying the returned product
- If the store fails to process refund within stipulated time, EcomBangla may intervene
Non-Returnable Items:
- Products marked as "Final Sale" or "Non-Returnable" by the store
- Perishable goods and food items
- Intimate apparel and personal care items
- Customized or made-to-order products
- Products damaged due to customer misuse
- Products without original packaging or missing parts
- Gift cards and vouchers
Digital products include scripts, software, subscriptions, source code, templates, and other downloadable or access-based products.
SUPPORT PERIOD
Customers get exactly 3 days (72 hours) of support from the time of purchase to resolve any issues with the digital product. Support requests after this period will be at the store's discretion.
Timeline: Day 1-3: Support and issue resolution period
Day 4 onward: No obligation for store to provide support
REFUND CONDITIONS
Refunds for digital products are only applicable if:
- The product is completely non-functional and it is proven to be the store's fault
- The store fails to fix the issue within the 3-day support period
- The product does not match the description in a significant way
- The product contains malware or security vulnerabilities
When a digital product issue is reported:
- Store Fault: If the issue is determined to be caused by the store's code, configuration, or misrepresentation, store must fix within 3 days or provide full refund
- User Fault: If the issue is caused by user's server configuration, lack of technical knowledge, or improper use, store is not obligated to refund. Store may charge for additional support if desired
- Third-Party Issues: Issues caused by third-party services (hosting, APIs, etc.) are generally not the store's responsibility unless specifically guaranteed
Note: After the 3-day period, no tickets will be solved for issues that could have been reported earlier. No refund will be provided if there is no proven fault of the store. The decision of fault determination rests with EcomBangla CORP based on technical evidence provided.
If a refund is approved and the store is the main accused party, the following procedures apply for online payment refunds.
For Digital Products:
- Day 1-3: Issue reporting and resolution attempt period
- Day 4: If issue not resolved and store is at fault, refund process initiated
- Store must initiate refund within 48 hours of fault determination
- If store fails to refund within this period, EcomBangla may take enforcement action including account suspension
