Digitaview Market is committed to providing a safe and reliable shopping experience for buyers and a fair business environment for sellers. This Return & Refund Policy outlines how returns, refunds, replacements, and disputes are handled on our platform.
General Policy Overview
Digitaview Market is a third-party marketplace where independent sellers list and sell products.
Each seller is responsible for handling returns and refunds for their products.
However, Digitaview Market may step in to assist buyers when:
- A seller does not respond
- A seller refuses a valid return
- A buyer receives a wrong, damaged, or defective item

This is part of the Digitaview Buyer Guarantee.
