14. RETURN OF GOODS AND COMPLAINTS
14.1. If the User has a complaint about the service of Yaga OÜ, please contact us at support@shopyaga.lv and submit your name and contact details and briefly describe the content of the complaint. Yaga OÜ will respond to the complaint as soon as possible, but not later than within the next 2 (two) working days, unless specified otherwise.
14.2. If the goods differ significantly from the description given in the sales advertisement or the photo of the product and the Buyer therefore wishes to return the goods to the Seller, the following must be done:
14.2.1. The Buyer must send a message to the Seller within 48 hours of receipt of the goods, indicating the discrepancy of the goods from the sales advertisement, and agree on the place and way of returning the goods. There is no right of return if it is excluded under the Law of Obligations Act in the case of the relevant type of goods.
14.2.2. The right of return cannot be executed if the Buyer has received the goods and confirmed their satisfaction with the goods on the Platform or if more than 48 hours have passed from the receipt of the goods.
14.2.3. The buyer undertakes to return the goods in the same condition as when they received them.
14.2.4. After the Buyer and the Seller have agreed upon returning the item and the Seller has provided the necessary return details (according to the requirements of the specific delivery provider), the Buyer must send the goods within 72 hours and share the return waybill with the Seller via Yaga messages. The item must be shipped using the same shipping method that was used for the original delivery, unless otherwise agreed.
14.2.5. The funds will remain in the account of Yaga OÜ until the goods are returned to the Seller. The cost of returning the goods is borne by the Buyer, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree upon otherwise or if an item from Yaga’s Prohibited Items list is returned with Yaga's consent, in which case the return cost shall be paid by the Seller. Yaga may, at its discretion, decide otherwise in cases involving Prohibited Items.
14.2.6. To confirm the return of the goods, the Seller must click on the ‘Cancel’ button on the Platform for the specific sales order within 48 (forty-eight) hours after receiving the goods back from the Buyer. In this case, Yaga will return the funds to the Buyer's Yaga wallet.
14.2.7. If the Seller does not cancel the order nor raise any disputes within 48 (forty-eight) hours from receiving the goods back from the Buyer, as indicated by the tracking information, Yaga reserves the right to cancel the order on behalf of the Seller.
14.2.8. After the order has been cancelled and funds returned to the Buyer's Yaga wallet, the Buyer can choose between using the funds for future purchases on the Platform or paying it out to the chosen bank account. The Buyer can initiate a payout to bank account by clicking on the 'Payout to bank account' button. The Buyer enters the account details where they want the payment for the goods to be transferred in the Settings section on the Platform or in the ‘My Wallet’ section at the time of initiating the payout. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the banking details provided are accurate, up to date and linked to a European bank account with a recognised bank. Once the Buyer has initiated a payout, Yaga will transfer the funds to the Buyer within 1-3 business days.
14.3. In the event of unresolvable disputes between the Buyer and the Seller, Yaga may assist in resolving the disputes. The dispute resolution process is as follows:
14.3.1. To resolve disputes between the Buyer and Seller, it is possible to turn to Yaga OÜ within 21 days after submission of the purchase order at support@shopyaga.lv.
14.3.2. To resolve the dispute between the Seller and the Buyer, Yaga OÜ has the right to request additional information from both parties and to use the information on the Platform about the communication between the Buyer and the Seller, including the content of the messages sent on the Platform.
14.3.3. To resolve the disputes as quickly as possible, the Buyer and Seller undertake to actively cooperate and respond to inquiries made by Yaga OÜ within 48 hours. If one of the parties to the dispute does not cooperate and does not respond to the submitted requests within 48 hours, Yaga OÜ has the right to make a decision in favour of the other party to the dispute.
14.3.4. If the Buyer submits a claim for the purchased goods, the Seller must be ready to prove the shipping of the goods by presenting a document (such as a waybill/proof of shipment) certifying the operation of the selected mode of transport or prove the shipping of the item in another verifiable way. If the Seller fails to prove the shipping of the goods, Yaga OÜ may settle the claim in favour of the other party.
14.3.5. If the Buyer claims that the goods are not in conformity with the description in the sales ad and the Buyer and the Seller do not reach an agreement on the return of the goods, Yaga OÜ will decide, based on the available information, in whose favour the claim is settled.
14.3.6. The decisions to settle a claim may, depending on the willingness of the parties to settle the claim promptly, include:
14.3.6.1. The claim is settled in favour of the Buyer. The funds are returned to the Buyer’s Yaga wallet right after the goods of the claim have been returned to the Seller, unless Yaga decides otherwise.
14.3.6.2. The claim is settled in favour of the Seller. The funds are released to the Seller’s Yaga wallet right after the respective decision has been made. The Buyer keeps the goods of the claim.
14.3.6.3. The claim cannot be resolved regardless of the efforts of Yaga OÜ. In this case, the funds will remain in the account of Yaga OÜ until the Buyer and the Seller confirm that they have reached an agreement at support@shopyaga.lv. If, within 30 days, the Buyer and Seller have not reached an agreement and the respective confirmation is not sent to support@shopyaga.lv, Yaga OÜ will decide, based on the available information, the amount of funds returned to the Buyer and/or Seller or whether the funds will remain in the account of Yaga OÜ.
14.3.6.4. If an agreement is not reached in any of the ways listed above, the User has the right to turn to the Consumer Disputes Committee at avaldus@komisjon.ee or https://ttja.ee/en/consumer-disputes-committee, when buying goods from a trader who acts for purposes related to their business or professional activities. The resolving of a dispute by the Consumer Disputes Committee shall be free of charge for the parties. If the Seller is a natural person who acts for purposes not related to his or her business or professional activities, the Users can turn to an appropriate court to resolve the dispute.
