This version was updated on Sep 19, 2025 00:41:41 (PST) and became effective from Sep 25, 2025 00:41:41 (PST).
1. Service Definition
The "Non-defective Remorse Return & Refund Service" is a value-added, paid protection service provided by the Doba for its Retailer clients, applicable when end consumers initiate a no-reason return according to e-commerce platform/independent site rules and/or relevant legal requirements.
When Retailers opt for this service and pay the associated fee while placing an order on Doba.com, if the conditions for compensation are met, Doba will provide reimbursement to the Retailer clients in accordance with these rules. This service aims to help Retailers reduce operational costs arising from no-reason returns and to enhance after-sales service capabilities as well as the shopping experience of end consumers.
2. Applicable Circumstances
- Returns initiated by consumers for personal reasons, such as not liking or no longer wanting the item.
- Returns due to the product's color, size, material, or other attributes not meeting the consumer's expectations.
3. Fee Structure and Compensation Guidelines
Service Charge: 5% of the value of the product ordered.
Compensation Eligibility: Qualified cases may receive a refund of 50% of the actual amount paid for the product.
Coverage Limit: Applicable to product sales amounts of $250.00 or less.
Exclusions: Shipping fees, taxes, and payment processing charges are not covered by the compensation.
Service Purchase Limit: Retailers may purchase the Non-defective Remorse Return & Refund service only for products from suppliers whose after-sales policy does not support the Non-defective Remorse Return & Refund service.
4. Compensation Limit
4.1 After the returned product is received and signed at the Doba warehouse, Doba will issue a claim for 50% of the actual paid product amount (excluding shipping costs, tax, payment fees, etc.).The ownership of the goods shall belong to Doba from the date of signature upon receipt.
4.2 In Cases of Consumer Retention of Product (Partial Refunds):
If the Retailer offers a discount or partial refund to let the end consumer keep the product, the claim amount is determined by the following rules:
a. If an order initially yielded a profit (Store Product Sales Amount > Doba Paid Product Amount) but incurred a loss following a consumer refund, where (Store Product Sales Amount - Store Product Refund Amount) < Doba Paid Product Amount, the claimable compensation will be calculated as 50% of the loss incurred. The compensation amount is determined by the formula: 50% * (Store Product Refund Amount + Doba Paid Product Amount - Store Product Sales Amount).
b. If an order was unprofitable prior to issuing a consumer refund (Store Product Sales Amount < Doba Paid Product Amount), the claimable compensation will be 50% of the amount refunded to the consumer.
c. If an order retains profitability after a refund to the consumer, indicated by (Store Product Sales Amount - Store Product Refund Amount) > Doba Paid Product Amount, the order does not qualify for a claim. Consequently, a claim request cannot be submitted for such orders.
4.3 Doba has the right to verify the sales amount, refund amount, etc. submitted by the Retailer, and may require the Retailer to provide back - end data, transaction records, etc. from the third-party platform as evidence. Regarding the situation of a loss on an order itself, Doba has the right to determine whether it is a genuine loss. The Retailer shall not fabricate costs or manipulate prices to defraud compensation.
