General Terms:
Four Star Decor reserves the right to update the rules when necessary, and the updated version will be published on FourStarDecor.com with immediate effect. If you refuse to accept the policy, you are deemed to have waived the use of the services provided by Four Star Decor immediately. All Buyers or Suppliers are deemed to have accepted the rules if they are using the services provided by Four Star Decor. Suppliers will publish their own Return & Refund Policy on the product detail page. Four Star Decor's policy shall prevail in case of conflict with Supplier's policy.
For after-sales issues, Buyers should file a Return & Refund request within 20 days of the delivery date (except for several Suppliers whose after-sales period was agreed upon by Four Star Decor). If the Return & Refund request filing date exceeds this time period, the Supplier reserves the right not to provide any after-sales service after that time.
Before an order is shipped out, the Buyer has the right to apply to cancel the order by clicking the "Request refund" button in Four Star Decor's Buyer Center; or by contacting Four Star Decor customer service to cancel the order. Please note some supplier policies do not accept order cancellations before the order is shipped out. The Supplier should agree or reject the cancellation request within 3 business days.
If the Supplier cannot fulfill the Buyer's order within the order processing time indicated on Four Star Decor's product page, under the condition, but not limited to out-of-stock or other conditions, the Supplier has the right to cancel and refund the order.
If the Buyer receives goods damaged or broken and applies for a refund with compelling evidence, and the goods need to be returned, the Supplier has the responsibility to offer the Buyer a prepaid return label within 3 business days to return the damaged/broken goods. The Supplier should refund the Buyer when the return shows as in-transit status on the logistics website using the Supplier's provided prepaid return label.
Four Star Decor shall not require the Supplier to accept an after-sale request for "non-defective remorse returns." The Supplier has the right to accept or reject the request in accordance with the policy on the Four Star Decor product page. Four Star Decor will abide by the Supplier's policy under this condition.
If the Supplier accepts the after-sale request for the reason type of "non-defective remorse returns" and requires a deduction for a "restocking & repacking fee," under Four Star Decor's policy restriction, the total "restocking & repacking fee" the Supplier deducts shall not exceed 35% of the order's total price.
Four Star Decor shall not direct Suppliers on warranties, like whether to provide a warranty or not, or the way of warranty handling.
Four Star Decor shall restrict the refund time and redelivery time under the conditions, including but not limited to: the order should refund based upon Supplier's policy or Four Star Decor's policy or an agreed upon timeframe between Supplier and Buyer or others; and the Supplier must refund within no more than 3 business days, or initiate redelivery within no more than 5 business days.
Once the Buyer submits the after-sales request, the Buyer needs to provide evidence (as the clause states below) to the Supplier or Four Star Decor. If the Buyer cannot provide compelling evidence within the order after-sales period policy indicated, the Supplier and/or Four Star Decor has the right to reject the return and refund request.
Whether the evidence is compelling or not will ultimately be determined by Four Star Decor.
