Return and refund policies for different scenarios

Sellers cancel orders

Sellers can cancel orders before RTS (ready to ship)

TikTok Shop Platform cancels orders

In theory, the platform can alter the status of orders under all circumstances

Currently applied to the following scenarios:

• Regular products: the platform will cancel orders if buyers do not finish the payment after 48 hrs

• Subsidized products: the platform will cancel orders if a time limit is set while buyers do not finish the payment within that limitation

*Note: Request will be accepted automatically after 48 hrs if seller didn’t respond

• Seller need to respond to the return/refund request within 2 days(48 hrs); otherwise, the platform will approve buyer’s request automatically

• ​Buyer need to file for arbitration within 2 days(48h) if seller reject the request; otherwise, the request will be closed

• If seller accept the request, buyer need to send back product and enter tracking ID within 5 days; otherwise, the request will be closed

• After the product is sent back, seller need to confirm the delivery within 8 days; otherwise, the platform will confirm the delivery automatically (if seller click “delay to confirm delivery”, then will get an extra 8 days)

a.​The refund request per single SKU should be no greater than 5 times.
