RESOLUTION

There may be some cases where both the buyers and sellers may face issues. At Timetocart, we have a dispute resolution process in order to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers.

Disputes are filed as a result of a disagreement between the buyer and the seller. Disputes arise out of an issue that is raised by either party not being completely satisfied with the resolution of their complaint/issue.

It is important that before a buyer/seller raises a dispute, they should attempt to solve the issue. Please note that whenever a buyer raises a dispute, the seller's payment for that order is put on hold immediately until the issue is resolved.

Whenever there is a disagreement, the buyer and seller can write to resolve@timetocart.com in order to raise a dispute. Disputes can be raised at a particular transaction level.

Following are the indicative examples of potential disputes:

1. Wrong item received

2. Item Not as described

• damaged or seal broken on product
• part/accessory missing
• item not compatible
• seller description/specification wrong
• defective (functional issues)
• product not working as manufacturer claims
• invalid invoice

In case the seller rejects the return request of the buyer and buyer raises a dispute, then Timetocart will try to mediate and resolve the dispute between both the parties. If the dispute is resolved in favour of the buyer, a refund is provided once the product is returned to the seller. If the dispute is settled in favour of the seller, buyer is entitled to refund on return request.

PROTECTION SCHEME

In case of a dispute where the seller is unable to provide a refund or a replacement, Timetocart will actively work towards reaching a resolution.

The User protection scheme covers buyers who are unable to successfully resolve their dispute with the seller or are not satisfied the resolution provided by the seller.

The buyer can write to resolve@timetocart.com if the issue with the seller is not resolved. Timetocart's buyer support will look into the case to check for possible fraud and if the buyer has been blacklisted/blocked from making purchases on the website. Only after verifying these facts, a dispute can be registered.

In due course of resolution, Timetocart's buyer support will facilitate a conference call including the seller and the buyer.When a dispute has been raised, Timetocart may provide both the parties access to each other’s user names, contact details including email addresses and other details pertaining to the dispute. Buyers and sellers are subject to final consent from Timetocart for settling the dispute.
