When buying an item, you are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a commitment to buy.
If we don’t accept your order, we will contact you to let you know. The following reasons are possible for not accepting your order: the goods being out of stock; our inability to authorise your payment; an error in the price or description of the goods; illegal or suspicious activity; an ambiguous delivery address; natural disasters; and potential threats to us and/or our servants and/or agents. If an order for which payment has already been made has been rejected, we will reimburse you for the entire transactional cost.
DELIVERY
We shall make every effort to deliver the items to the place you have designated for delivery within the window of time that you have stated.
If wrong information is provided or a security issue, such as inadequate infrastructure or delivery to unsafe regions considered by us or the carrier, this may cause a delay in the delivery of your order or even the cancellation of your transaction. We will return any money you have already paid for the items in either scenario. It is your duty to make sure someone is accessible to receive the items at your delivery address. On delivery, we need someone to sign for your order. To confirm they have your permission to accept delivery of your purchase, we could ask the person accepting delivery of your order to show us identification. To do this, you might be required to show a piece of your photographic identity (such as a passport or driving licence). We will attempt to contact you by phone if no one is home when we attempt delivery or if the person there is unable to meet our identification standards.
We cannot be held liable for any losses you may suffer as a result of such inaccuracies if you give us an incorrect delivery address or if we are unable to get in touch with you to complete the delivery. Deliveries that were scheduled and paid for but not finished due to the aforementioned will have the total amount returned back, minus the delivery fee.
LOCAL PICKUP
A government-issued photo ID and receipt or order number will be required for pickup. Yellow Cart is not responsible for actions taken once you select Local Pickup.
EXAMINATION AND APPROVAL
You must check the items for flaws and non-conformance after delivery. Any allegation that the items do not meet the specifications must be immediately notified to us. If any flaws in the items are not reported to us within one (1) business day of delivery, it will be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the items were received in perfect condition and that you have unconditionally accepted them. Except for any rights you may have under the “Returns” section below or by law, you shall have no right to reject the items for any reason after such acceptance.
RETURNS
While reviewing the delivered items, if you find any that are damaged, expired, or defective, you can return them to the driver, and we will reimburse the appropriate card that was used to make the purchase. We reserve the right to issue a refund in the same form as payment if you choose to receive one.
