Mulebuy Terms of Service and Policies

Chapter 1: Disclaimer

Mulebuy is committed to eliminating all your worries about international online shopping. To ensure the smooth receipt of the goods you purchase, we have corresponding processing standards for the goods that have already arrived. Due to the possibility of illegal commercial activities on websites such as Taobao, please shop with caution. The following special circumstances are considered as your agreement and subsequent actions. If you have any questions, please contact customer service for verification when submitting the order.
1. Sensitive Goods: Contains sensitive items such as essential oils, care fluids, lubricants, batteries, adhesives, etc. To ensure your normal delivery, we will remove them for you.
2. Customs Policies: Brands, large quantities of liquids/powders, charged goods, food/drugs, etc., may be subject to certain shipping risks due to customs policies. If consequences arise from the above risks, this website is not responsible for customs clearance or assumes relevant legal responsibilities.
3. Unable to Conduct Professional Inspection: If you purchase electrical appliances, brand products, tickets, cards, models, etc., we will not be able to conduct professional (quality, authenticity, integrity, etc.) checks on the products you ordered. During the acceptance inspection, the quality inspector can only check whether the appearance of the product is intact and whether the accessories are complete, but cannot start the machine to check if there are any quality problems with the product.
4. Easily Damaged Items: Contains ceramic/glass products, irregularly shaped products (such as wipers, car baffles, etc.), etc. The products may be worn and broken due to multiple twists and turns during transportation. Please purchase with caution. We guarantee the integrity of the goods before shipment, but if the goods are damaged during the shipping process and are judged as fragile by logistics, any losses incurred will be borne by you.
5. Customized Products: If the order you submitted is a customized product, we suggest that you negotiate with the merchant. Order the product according to your ideas and creativity. After successful negotiation with the merchant, you need to provide the Wangwang ID, contact information, or password for contacting the merchant. We are unable to conduct professional inspections on this type of product for you, and any resulting losses will be borne by you.
6. Deposit Order: Due to the regulations of Taobao sellers, the deposit cannot be cancelled after being placed. At the same time, you need to follow up with the information released by the seller to make up for the remaining payment before shipping. The deposit will not be refunded if the balance is not paid within the specified period.
7. Low Seller Reputation: We suggest that you choose a store with a reputation of three stars or more and pay a Taobao deposit to purchase goods. Stores with low business reputation and without paying insurance premiums may face disputes such as seller non-delivery, false delivery, after-sales service, and rights protection. Any resulting losses must be borne by you.
8. "CD" and "Handmade" Products: Due to the high collectible value of both "CD" and "handmade" products, in order not to affect the user's collection, the inspection standard for such products is not to open the plastic bag for inspection. Only the appearance can be inspected for damage, and the details of the interior cannot be verified in detail. The risks arising from this need to be borne by you.
If the order you submitted involves any of the above circumstances, it will be deemed that you have read, understood, and fully accepted all the terms of this disclaimer.
