Last Updated: February 21, 2025
1. ORDER PROCESSING
1.1 Order Submission
The Selling Merchant will process orders through goarra platform, based on the items
listed in the submitted order form. By submitting an order, you agree to purchase the
items specified in your order form. It is your sole responsibility to carefully review the
contents of your shopping cart, ensuring that all selected items, quantities, and order
details are correct before proceeding to checkout. Any discrepancies or errors in the
order should be addressed prior to submitting payment, as orders cannot be modified
once payment has been completed.
1.2 Order Status
All orders submitted through the goarra platform platform will initially be marked as
"Order Received" by the Selling Merchant upon submission. However, please note that
these orders will only proceed to the processing stage once we have successfully
received and verified your proof of payment. In addition, the corresponding order
number must be accurately confirmed to facilitate proper tracking and processing. If
either payment or order verification is incomplete, the order will remain in the "Order
Received" status and will not be processed further until all required confirmations are
provided. It is your responsibility to ensure that payment is made promptly and that all
order details are correct in order to avoid any delays in processing your order.
1.3 Payment Requirement
Only orders that have been fully paid will be processed. Orders marked as "Order
Received" will remain in this status until payment has been confirmed. Please be
advised that we will not proceed with processing, packaging, or shipping your order
until the full payment has been received and verified. It is your responsibility to ensure
that payment is completed promptly to avoid delays in the processing of your order.
1.4 Order Inquiries
All inquiries regarding orders must be submitted via the order form on the platform.
These will be processed by an independent distributor to ensure accurate record-
keeping of your order history.
1.5 Non-Payment Policy
Orders that remain unpaid within 3 hours of submission will be automatically canceled
by the Selling Merchant. This policy ensures timely processing of orders and helps
maintain the efficiency of our platform. Once the cancellation has been processed, you
will receive a notification confirming the cancellation of your order. It is your
responsibility to ensure that payment is made within the specified timeframe to avoid
order cancellation. Please note that once an order is canceled, it cannot be reinstated.
2. ORDER CORRECTION/CANCELLATION
2.1 Order Finality
All orders submitted through the goarra platform platform are considered final and
cannot be modified or amended once they have been submitted. Once you have
completed the checkout process and your order is confirmed, it is your responsibility to
ensure that all items, quantities, and order details are correct. As we process orders
promptly, no changes or cancellations will be accepted after the submission of the
order. Please review your order carefully before finalizing the submission to avoid any
errors or issues.
2.2 Cancellation Policy
Once an order has been placed and payment has been processed, cancellations are no
longer permitted. It is essential that you review all order details carefully before
completing your purchase. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your
order prior to submission. After payment confirmation, no modifications or
cancellations will be accepted. Please be mindful to double-check your order before
finalizing to avoid any issues or misunderstandings.
3. SHIPPING
3.1 Shipping Availability
At present, we only offer shipping services within the Philippines. All online orders
placed through the goarra platform will be processed and shipped by the Selling
Merchant to the designated address using the Selling Merchant’s chosen third-party
logistics (3PL) provider. For purchases made through a physical store establishment or
directly with an in-store Selling Merchant, the items will be personally served and
delivered by the Selling Merchant at the establishment. Please note that shipping
availability and delivery options may vary depending on the nature of the transaction
and the location of the purchasing Consumer Affiliates.
3.2 Shipping Provider
All orders will be shipped via the Selling Merchant's designated Third-Party Logistics
(3PL) provider. The Selling Merchant reserves the right to select the 3PL provider for
each order and to determine the applicable shipping rates, which may vary based on
factors such as location, package weight, and delivery method. The selected 3PL
provider will be responsible for the delivery of the goods, and goarra platform is not
liable for any delays, damages, or issues that arise from the 3PL provider's services.
3.3 Shipping Schedule
Paid orders will be shipped on the nearest Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday following the
receipt and verification of proof of payment. Please note that processing and shipping
times may vary depending on the volume of orders and availability of goods. It is your
responsibility to ensure that payment is completed promptly to avoid delays in
shipment.
3.4 Estimated Delivery Times
For orders within Metro Manila and Greater Manila areas, the estimated delivery time is
1-3 business days from the date of shipment. For orders to provincial areas, the
estimated delivery time is 3-5 business days. These delivery timeframes are estimates
and may vary depending on factors such as location, weather conditions, and potential
delays from the logistics provider. While we make every effort to meet these delivery
timelines, the Selling Merchant is not liable for any delays caused by external factors or
by the third-party logistics (3PL) provider.
3.5 Shipping Delays
We are not liable for any delays caused by the third-party logistics (3PL) provider.
Delays resulting from factors beyond our control, including but not limited to weather
conditions, logistics issues, public holidays, or any other unforeseen circumstances, are
not our responsibility. While we strive to ensure timely delivery, these factors may affect
the shipping timeline, and we encourage you to account for potential delays when
placing orders.
3.6 Shipping Rates
Shipping rates are subject to change at the discretion of the Selling Merchant and may
be updated without prior notice. Any changes in shipping rates will be applied at the
time of checkout, and it is your responsibility to review the shipping charges before
finalizing your order..
4. RETURNS
4.1 Return Period
Returns of goods must be made within 2 calendar days from the date of receipt of the
item. Any return requests made after this period will not be accepted or entertained.
All returns are subject to the terms and conditions of sale outlined on the platform,
including the condition of the returned goods, packaging, and any applicable
restocking fees. Please ensure that you initiate the return process within the specified
timeframe to be eligible for consideration.
4.2 Condition of Goods
Returned items must be in unused condition and in their original, unopened
packaging. Any items that show signs of use, damage, or are not in the same condition
as when they were shipped will not be accepted for return. Please ensure that all
products are returned in their original state to comply with our return policy and
facilitate a smooth process.
4.3 Return Shipping Costs
Shipping costs for returns are non-refundable, and the consumer affiliate will be
responsible for all return shipping fees. Please note that any costs associated with
returning the product will not be reimbursed, and must be borne by the consumer
affiliate.
5. LOST/DAMAGED GOODS
5.1 Damaged Goods
If your goods are damaged upon receipt, please report the issue to the Selling
Merchant via email or by using the messaging chat feature on the platform immediately
upon receiving the item. The Selling Merchant will assess the damage and may replace
the goods, subject to an investigation and in accordance with the terms and conditions
of sale. To facilitate the investigation and resolution process, please ensure that you
provide all necessary information and documentation. Failure to provide the required
information may result in the denial of a replacement request.
5.2 Lost Goods
Lost goods due to negligence by the Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider will be eligible
for replacement by the Selling Merchant, provided that the 3PL company’s insurance
proceeds for the lost items are available. The Selling Merchant will facilitate the
replacement process through the insurance compensation received from the 3PL
provider.
6. REFUNDS
6.1 Refund Eligibility
Refunds will only be granted under valid circumstances, as determined by the Selling
Merchant in conjunction with goarra platform. All refund requests will be evaluated
based on the terms and conditions of sale, which include, but are not limited to,
product defects, damages, or other factors deemed eligible for refund consideration.
Please ensure that your return request meets the outlined conditions for eligibility. To
facilitate the review process, you may be required to provide supporting
documentation such as photographs, proof of purchase, or any other information that
verifies the reason for the request. Refunds are not guaranteed and will be granted at
the sole discretion of the Selling Merchant, subject to the applicable terms and
conditions.
6.2 Refund for First Orders Only
Refunds are only available for first-time orders placed through the platform.
Subsequent orders will not be eligible for refunds unless they meet specific criteria
outlined in the terms and conditions of sale. These criteria may include, but are not
limited to, issues such as product defects, shipping errors, or other circumstances that
may qualify for a refund based on the Selling Merchant’s policies.
For first-time orders, refunds will be processed in accordance with the terms of sale and
may require supporting documentation to verify the reason for the request. All refund
requests are subject to review and approval by the Selling Merchant and goarra
platform. Please ensure that you meet the necessary conditions for eligibility before
submitting a refund request.
Refunds for subsequent orders will only be granted if they comply with the specific
conditions as detailed in the terms and conditions of sale, and will be at the sole
discretion of the Selling Merchant.
6.3 Refund Process and Termination
Refunds are only available for first-time orders placed through the platform.
Subsequent orders are generally not eligible for refunds unless they meet specific
criteria outlined in the terms and conditions of sale, such as product defects, shipping
errors, or other qualifying circumstances.
Please note that once a refund request is approved and processed, the account
associated with the refunded order will be terminated in the system. This means the
requesting party will no longer be eligible to participate in the ARRA program, nor will
they have access to any benefits, rewards, or privileges associated with the program.
Refunded accounts will be removed from the platform, and any accumulated Personal
Purchase Points (PPP) or WOICoins will be forfeited upon account termination.
Additionally, any commission earnings or rewards generated from the refunded order
will be deducted from the refund amount.
Once the refund is processed, the individual will no longer be considered an active
consumer affiliate in the ARRA program, and their account will be closed. If you wish to
remain a part of the ARRA program, please ensure that your order is complete and
accurate before submitting a purchase request to avoid losing such opportunities.
6.4 Reward Deductions
Any rewards earned by the consumer affiliate will be deducted from the refund
amount. This includes, but is not limited to, any Personal Purchase Points (PPP),
WOICoins, commissions, or other incentives or rewards that were accrued through the
refunded order. The total value of these rewards, as determined at the time of the
refund processing, will be subtracted from the refund amount to ensure that only the
actual price paid for the product (excluding rewards or incentives) is refunded.
Furthermore, any bonuses or promotional rewards tied to the refunded order will also
be deducted from the total refund. This ensures that the refund reflects the actual
monetary transaction and that the consumer affiliate does not retain both the benefits
from the purchase and the refund.
Please be aware that the deduction of rewards or incentives is a standard procedure in
our refund process to maintain the integrity of our rewards system and to ensure that
the ARRA program operates fairly for all participants.
.
6.5 Non-Refundable Costs
Shipping costs are non-refundable. This means that any amount paid for the delivery of
your order will not be reimbursed, even in the event of a return or refund request. Only
the price you paid for the merchandise itself will be refunded. Please note that this
policy applies to all orders, regardless of the reason for the return or refund.
Additionally, any associated transaction fees incurred during the purchase will also not
be refunded. These fees may include payment processing fees, credit card transaction
fees, or any other charges imposed by your payment provider or financial institution.
These fees are not refundable under any circumstances, as they are processed by third-
party entities that are separate from goarra platform and the selling merchant.
To clarify, if you make a purchase and later request a refund, the total amount refunded
will only reflect the actual amount paid for the goods themselves, minus any applicable
rewards or bonuses, and excluding shipping and transaction fees. Please keep in mind
that all refund requests are subject to the approval process outlined in the terms and
conditions of sale
6.6 Refund Method
Refunds will be processed using the same payment method originally used for the
purchase. This means that the method you used to pay for your order, which is a digital
wallet within the platform, will also be used to issue the refund. This ensures
consistency and security in processing refunds and helps maintain accurate financial
records for both the consumer affiliate and the selling merchant.
6.7 Processing Time
The selling merchant does not guarantee the timing of refunds being credited to your
account. The refund processing time is dependent on the selling merchant's processing
timeline. However, goarra platform will assist with the refund request made to the
selling merchant.
6.8 Refund Procedure Modifications
goarra platform reserves the right to modify the refund processing procedure at any
time, without prior notice, to ensure operational efficiency or in response to changing
circumstances.
