Article 13 (Delivery of Goods)

A delivery period shall begin on the date following the date on which receipt or settlement of payment is confirmed and end on the date of completion of delivery.

If a status update concerning delivery is delayed due to the buying Member’s failure to confirm his/her/its receipt after the damda Supplier has properly confirmed shipping on its part, the Company may ask the buying Member to confirm his/her/its receipt within two weeks from the date of damda Supplier’s confirmation of shipping. If thereafter, despite the Company's asking, the buying Member does not confirm his/her/its receipt, the status of the transaction may be automatically converted to "completion of delivery" as at the passage of three days, and in such case, if the buying Member has not actually received the product, then the buying Member may report non-receipt.

Article 14 (Cross-Boarder Delivery Service)

The Company provides services to support international delivery of goods for which a sale and purchase contract is entered into through international delivery networks in the business partnership with the Company. The stages of international delivery will consist of the following:

Domestic Delivery: up until the goods purchased by a Member are warehoused in a third party's logistics center that is in the business partnership with the Company; and
International Delivery: from the warehousing to the delivery to the recipient through international delivery networks.

In the case of international delivery, a sale and purchase contract may be canceled at any time before the delivery of the purchased goods. A return due to the buying Member's change of mind will be allowed only up to the stage of domestic delivery. As a general rule, no return will be allowed once the international delivery stage commences. However, as an exception, if the Company approves a return for a justifiable reason (e.g., an inherent defect in the purchased item, etc.), the purchased item may be returned even if its international delivery is completed.
A buying Member who intends to obtain the Company's approval for a return shall submit objective evidencing materials to the Company to prove the reasons therefor, e.g., an inherent defect in the purchased item. If such inherent defect is proved, the damda Supplier shall bear all necessary costs and expenses incurred for a return, including without limitation delivery costs, etc.
If the Company approves a return, the buying Member shall contact the Customer Center, return the purchased item through a post office located in the relevant area, and provide evidencing documents (i.e., evidence of delivery costs, etc.) to the Company.
If the estimated international delivery costs paid at the time of purchase are greater than actually incurred costs, the Company shall refund the difference using damda Cash.
If the estimated international delivery costs paid at the time of purchase are less than actually incurred costs, delivery will be possible only if the buying Member makes the additional payment. If the international delivery costs are not fully paid within one (1) month despite the Company's three (3) or more notifications, the purchased item will belong to the Company or be discarded.
The recipient shall bear all other costs and expenses that may incur and vary depending on the country of shipping/delivery (such as customs, taxes, etc.) concerning the use of cross-border delivery services.
If the purchased item is returned to the Company for any of the following reasons, the Company will notify the buying Member by e-mail or otherwise, and, if the buying Member does not pick up the purchased item within three months from the date of the first notification, the purchased item will belong to the Company or be discarded:

If it is returned because the recipient’s address is inaccurate or unidentifiable;
If it is returned due to any circumstance attributable to the recipient;
If it is returned in the course of customers clearance – e.g., because the import of the item to the country of the recipient is prohibited; or
If it is returned otherwise due to any reason not attributable to the Company.

Article 15 (Cancellation)

A Member may cancel an order of purchase at any time before the shipping of the purchased items. If cancellation is requested during the delivery, it will be handled under the return procedures. Members can cancel their orders at any time before paying for the purchased goods. However, once paid, the order cancellation will be processed under the return procedure, not the cancellation procedure.
If the damda Supplier fails to complete the steps required for delivery within three business days after being notified that the Member has completed the payment, the transaction is automatically canceled, and a refund is made to the Member.
If an application for return is received after a Member completes payment and while shipping is arranged or pending shipping, the order's cancellation will be immediately processed absent special circumstances.
If an order is canceled when the purchased items have already been shipped when the cancellation application is received, as a general rule, the buying Member shall bear the fees for both delivery and return of the shipped items. Such procedures shall follow the procedures for return of purchased goods rather than the procedure for cancellation of purchased goods.
The goods will be processed as canceled following the procedures for cancellation of purchased goods, and all damda Cash or damda Points used for the purchase will be reinstated.

Article 16 (Return)

A buying Member may demand a return of the purchased goods within seven days after receiving the goods.
The relevant laws, including the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, Etc. will prevail over the terms and conditions of sales suggested by the damda Supplier or damda Seller, as for general terms and conditions on the return.
As a general rule, costs and expenses incurred for the return shall be borne by a person to which the reason for the return is attributable—e.g., in the case of a simple change of buying Member's mind, the buying Member shall bear the return costs, while in the case of a defect in the purchased goods, the damda Supplier shall bear the return costs.
When applying for the return, if the buying Member does not set out the return invoice number or accurately notify (orally or in writing) the damda Suppler of the reason for the return, the return and refund process may be delayed.
As for the refund for a returned item, after the damda Supplier receives the returned item and after the reasons for the return and who to bear the costs and expenses for the delivery and return costs are confirmed, payment using damda Cash will be refunded to the relevant Member within three business days. The payment by credit card will be canceled immediately.
Return requests will be processed according to the return procedure, and the damda Cash used in the purchase will be restored while the damda Points will not be restored.
If the buying Member has to bear the return costs and the additional payment of the return costs is not made, the refund may be delayed.

Article 17 (Refund)

A Member may demand a return of the purchased items within seven days after receipt of the delivery but before confirming the purchase.
Costs and expenses incurred for the return shall be borne by a person to whom the reason for the return is attributable—g., in the case of a simple change of mind, the buying Member shall bear the return costs, while in the case of a defect in the purchased items, the damda Supplier shall bear the return costs.
In the case of a refund due to the buying Member’s order cancellation or return, the Company will refund the money by damda cash within three business days or cancel the payment immediately if made by credit card.
As a general rule, a refund of payment by credit card can be made only by canceling such payment.

If the buying Member has received the purchased items and clicks on [Purchase Confirmation], the Company shall deliver the payment to the damda Supplier the next day (excluding Saturdays and public holidays). However, if the buying Member does not click on [Purchase Confirmation] within seven days after receiving the goods, the Company may deliver the payment to the damda Supplier within two business days from the date of delivery.

Article 20 (damda Credit)]
