MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection provides buyers with superior buyer protection by way of registering only professional merchants that are bank verified and with a 100% money back guarantee and PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliant status subject to the terms and conditions as set out in this User Agreement.

MARKETLANE.COM will in relation to a good faith dispute cover your purchase price plus original shipping if you do not receive your product; or if it is not as described subject to MARKETLANE.COM's terms and conditions as set out in this User Agreement.

MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection does not cover services and some kinds of products, false, abusive or illegitimate claims, or purchases including prohibited or restricted products or where you have been or may be compensated by a third party (including credit card charge backs). MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection does not cover fraudulent charges or buyer remorse (that is, the product delivered was as described in the product description, but you no longer want the product regardless of the reason). MARKETLANE.COM hosts the dispute resolution process in a case where a buyer claims to a seller that their product was not received or the product they received is different from what was described in the listing.

The MARKETLANE.COM dispute resolution process is the primary avenue for settling disputed MARKETLANE.COM transactions if a buyer and seller cannot resolve the dispute between themselves. Where a buyer and a seller cannot reach resolution, MARKETLANE.COM will take an active role in ensuring transaction problems are resolved. MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection applies only to the transaction and is not a product warranty of any kind or a solution for buyer remorse.

A good faith dispute can include a case such as:

• You received a product that was different from the one described in the listing (for example, you purchased a book, but received a hat); or
• You received a product that was not as described in the product description.

A good faith dispute does not exist if you:

• improperly claim that the seller has not fulfilled the transaction;
• claim you never received a product when in fact you did;
• claim the product was different from the product description but the seller can prove otherwise;
• suffer from buyers remorse (that is, the product delivered was as described in the product description, but you no longer want the product regardless of the reason); or
• initiate another form of resolution processing, including a credit card credit card charge back which excludes you from MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection.

Buyer eligibility and other restrictions

A buyer who has purchased a product on the Site is eligible for MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection subject to the terms and conditions as set out in this User Agreement.

Resolution of cases under MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection

A buyer who is unsuccessful in resolving a problem directly with a seller may contact MARKETLANE.COM. MARKETLANE.COM will review the case, run a fraud check, and confirm where necessary that the buyer has already attempted to work with their seller. If the buyer is in good standing and the case meets the requirements of MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection, MARKETLANE.COM will review additional transaction information to determine if the case is ready for resolution.

Seller does not dispatch your product

If the seller has not dispatched the product after 72 hours of the order being placed by the buyer, MARKETLANE.COM will immediately or at its earliest convenience contact the buyer and notify the buyer of the shipping delay and may cancel the order and offer the buyer a credit card refund or cheque refund or credit voucher alternative.

Buyer does not receive product

If the buyer has not received the product after five working days of the buyer placing their order, the buyer must immediately or at its earliest convenience notify MARKETLANE.COM, who will then investigate the matter. Once the investigation is complete and if found in favour of the buyer, a credit card refund will be issued for the purchase price plus original shipping.

Product not as described (notice within 7 days)

If the buyer receives the product not as described the buyer must lodge a complaint within 7 days of receipt of the product directly to MARKETLANE.COM. MARKETLANE.COM will then place a special hold on the sellers net transaction balance (for the specific transaction) until the matter has been resolved by both the buyer and the seller direct. If the matter is not able to be resolved then MARKETLANE.COM will determine if a refund is to be paid to the buyer based on evidence provided. Product not as described (notice after 7 days) If the buyer receives the product not as described and the buyer fails to lodge a complaint within 7 days of receipt of the product to MARKETLANE.COM, the buyer must resolve the matter directly with the seller. Where a refund is to be paid to the buyer, the seller must refund the buyer for the purchase price plus original shipping unless otherwise stated in the seller's merchant returns policy. If the buyer has no resolve with the seller, the buyer should contact MARKETLANE.COM to investigate the matter. You agree that MARKETLANE.COM is authorised by you to make a final decision, in its sole discretion, on any claim that you file with MARKETLANE.COM.

Resolution

If the case is ready for resolution, MARKETLANE.COM will contact the seller about the case. The seller will have 7 days to respond to the claim. There may be circumstances that warrant MARKETLANE.COM's acceleration of the resolution of the case.

If the case is based on a "product not received" claim, then a resolution may include:

• Responding to the case by providing proof of delivery;
• Coming to an agreement with the buyer to send the product or a replacement product; or
• Refunding the buyer up to the full transaction amount.

If the case is based on a product not as described case, the resolution may include:

• Responding to the case by providing proof to MARKETLANE.COM that the product was described properly;
• Agreeing to send a replacement product after the buyer returns the original, if this is what the buyer would prefer; or
• Refunding the buyer up to the full transaction amount.

Unless resolution of a case is accelerated, MARKETLANE.COM will after 7 days contact the buyer to enquire if the buyer is satisfied. If the buyer is satisfied, the case will be closed. If MARKETLANE.COM does not receive a response from the buyer within a reasonable time, MARKETLANE.COM will not refund the buyer nor hold the seller accountable for the transaction. If the buyer is still dealing directly with the seller or does not respond, MARKETLANE.COM will contact the buyer after a further 7 days.

If a buyer notifies MARKETLANE.COM that no resolution has been reached, MARKETLANE.COM will review the case. If MARKETLANE.COM finds a product not received; case in the buyer's favour, MARKETLANE.COM will refund the cost of the product and original shipping to the buyer. If MARKETLANE.COM resolves a "product not as described" case in the buyer's favour, MARKETLANE.COM will request and a buyer must return the product to the seller at the buyer's expense (unless MARKETLANE.COM in its discretion agrees or specifies otherwise). Once the product is returned to the seller, MARKETLANE.COM will refund the cost of the product and original shipping to the buyer.

A refund made will be only paid by MARKETLANE.COM to the buyer (and not by the seller to the buyer) and made by MARKETLANE.COM crediting the credit card account used for the transaction. A refund will not be made in any other manner.

Transactions are dealt with on an individual basis and a dispute on one transaction does not hold up any other transaction.

MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection and other resolution methods (credit card charge backs)

The MARKETLANE.COM Dispute Resolution Centre provides an avenue for settling issues and disputes in relation to MARKETLANE.COM transactions. If a buyer claims a chargeback through their credit card provider the buyer is not eligible to make a claim under MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection. A buyer charge back claim made on a MARKETLANE.COM transaction will terminate any claim filed by the buyer with MARKETLANE.COM and/or MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection.

A buyer who files a chargeback after receiving a refund from MARKETLANE.COM is in breach of MARKETLANE.COM Buyer Protection and this User Agreement and will result in termination of your account.

Please refer to section "Fraud"

How a seller may be protected against a successful buyer claim

For a product "not received" claim, a seller is protected from losing a claim if evidence of proof of delivery is supplied to MARKETLANE.COM. Proof of delivery is tracking information from a shipping company that clearly displays:

• the delivery status of the product delivered.
• the date of delivery (which reflects the seller shipped within stated handling time);
• the recipient's address, displaying at least the city/state or Postcode (or the equivalent) of the address listed in either the MARKETLANE.COM Order details page or the Transaction Details page.

For a product "not as described" claim, a seller may protect itself from losing a claim if a seller provides clear documentation that the product was described properly. For example, a claim may be resolved in the seller's favour when the seller provides documentation of any of the following situations:

• the buyer complains that the product is used, not new, and the listing clearly describes the product as used;
• a defect in the product was correctly described by the seller;
• the product was properly described, but the buyer did no want it after they received it;
• the product properly described but did not meet buyers expectations; or
• the product has minor scratches and was listed as used condition.

Appeals by Seller

If a case is closed in the buyer's favour, a seller may appeal the decision within 14 days by providing the appropriate documentation via the MARKETLANE.COM Dispute Resolution Centre. MARKETLANE.COM will review the appeal and case. If a decision is reversed, the seller will be refunded the reimbursement amount less any MARKETLANE.COM fees associated with the transaction. Any decision on appeal by MARKETLANE.COM is final and binding.
