ACBUY's Responsibility and Boundaries

While ACBUY acts as a fair mediator and enforcer of its policies, it's important to understand our role:

  • We guarantee the transactions made on our platform and will intervene to issue refunds when sellers violate our policies.
  • We are not directly responsible for a seller's inventory errors or a logistics carrier's delays or losses. However, we hold sellers accountable for fulfilling their contracts and we maintain partnerships with reliable shipping providers to minimize risks.
  • Our responsibility is to administer our published policies consistently. We cannot make exceptions that violate these agreed-upon rules for either buyers or sellers.

At ACBUY, we've built a robust and fair system designed to protect you. By understanding how to navigate disputes effectively, you can shop with greater confidence and trust. We are here to ensure your voice is heard and your shopping experience remains positive.
