Protection is designed for eligible order problems, not every change of mind or loss unrelated to seller fulfilment.
Common exclusions or limitations
- Payment or arrangements completed outside Upfrica.
- Damage caused after delivery by use, alteration or poor handling.
- A wrong or incomplete delivery address supplied by the buyer.
- Repeated missed delivery or failure to follow approved return instructions.
- Custom, perishable, hygiene-sensitive or used items where the reported reason is not eligible.
Policy still reviews context
- Faulty, unsafe, fake, wrong or materially misdescribed items may be treated differently.
- The actions shown for the specific order are the authoritative starting point.
