If you are a Mall Buyer, you will be deemed to have consented to the terms and conditions described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service when you make purchases on ALDI Shop.

These ALDI Shop Shop Terms of Service supplement the Terms of Service and the other ALDI Shop Shop Policies, of which these ALDI Shop Terms of Service forms a part – please read the Terms of Service and the other ALDI Shop Policies available on the Site as they contain important information regarding your rights and obligations. Any terms that are used in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service that are not defined here will have the meanings given to such terms in the Terms of Service and/or the applicable ALDI Shop Policy. All terms and conditions described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service are subject to change at ALDI Shop’s discretion pursuant to the Terms of Service.

1. ALDI Shop Refunds and Return Policy

1.1     Mall Buyer may apply for a refund and/or return of an item purchased on ALDI Shop (a “Mall Item”) by completing the return/ refund request on the Site and returning the Mall Item as described below at any time within seven (7) calendar days after the date that Mall Item was first made available for Mall Buyer to take delivery (the “Free Return Period”). Usually, that date would be the date Mall Buyer received delivery of the Mall Item; however, if Mall Buyer did not receive the Mall Item because of Mall Buyer’s absence from the destination address or Mall Buyer’s failure to input the proper destination address, that date would be the date on which delivery attempt was first made.

1.2     Please note that Mall Buyer must ship or drop off the Mall Item to or at a location designated by ALDI Shop within five (5) days after the return request is raised and in any event no later than the last day of the Free Return Period. All Mall Items that are returned must be returned via a courier designated by ALDI Shop by no later than the last day of the Free Return Period. ALDI Shop reserves the right to reject any application where the Mall Item was dispatched later than five (5) days after the return request is raised.

1.3     The approval of your request for refund and return will be made by ALDI Shop in its sole discretion after reviewing your completed refund/return request and inspecting the condition of the Mall Item that was returned.. Mall Buyer acknowledges and agrees that ALDI Shop’s decision is final, conclusive and binding, and covenants and agrees that it will not bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against ALDI Shop or its affiliates in relation to such decision.   The Mall Item that was returned to ALDI Shop must be, at a minimum, in the following conditions:

● New and sealed condition;

● Complete, with all items included in the purchase; and

● With original product packaging and price tags.

If any additional conditions apply to a certain Mall Item, ALDI Shop will inform you via the Site, SMS or email. The conditions for the Mall Items subject to return are referred to as the “Return Conditions”.

1.4     In addition, please note that certain types of Mall Items may be excluded from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service, including:

● Digital goods, such as mobile top-up cards, audio or video recording or software;

● Goods that are perishable or may otherwise deteriorate or expire rapidly, such as groceries; and

● Goods that are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons, such as cosmetics, swimwear and underwear.

If any Mall Item is excluded from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service, ALDI Shop will make reasonable efforts to publish that information on our Site or otherwise inform the Mall Buyers; however, please note that our policies may change without notice at any time and certain Mall Items may be subject to exclusion after Mall Buyer has purchased them. Any Mall Item that is subject to exclusion from the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service is referred to as an “Excluded Item”.

1.5     ALDI Shop reserves the right to (a) add to or otherwise amend the list of Excluded Items and/or the Return Conditions and (b) amend, terminate or suspend the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service (including the length of the Free Return Period), in each case, at any time in its sole discretion.

1.6     ALDI Shop may reject in its sole discretion any returned Mall Item (and the related request for refund and return):

● that is an Excluded Item;

● that does not meet the Return Conditions; or

● if the Mall Item was returned in a manner that does not comply with Section 1.2 above.

Please note that ALDI Shop’s determination will be based on the list of terms of conditions in effect at the time of such determination (including the list of Excluded Items, the Return Conditions and the Free Return Period), and therefore pursuant to Section 1.5 above, such list of Excluded Items, the Return Conditions and/or the length of Free Return Period may be different from those in effect at the time Mall Buyer has completed the refund/return request and/or returned the Mall Item.

If ALDI Shop rejects a request for refund and return, ALDI Shop will organize the delivery of such Mall Item to the relevant Mall Buyer’s address to which the Mall Item was originally delivered, and ALDI Shop shall be entitled to seek compensation from such Mall Buyer for any costs incurred in delivering the Mall Item back to such Mall Buyer.

1.7     ALDI Shop reserves the right to terminate a User’s access to ALDI Shop if it suspects any abuse of the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service and, if ALDI Shop deems appropriate, may also impose penalties (including recovery of any fees or charges incurred as a consequence of such abuse).

1.8     The Refunds and Return Policy for Mall Items described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service are in addition to the general Refunds and Return Policy described in the Refunds and Return Policy. If there is any inconsistency, the Refunds and Return Policy described in these ALDI Shop Terms of Service will prevail in respect of Mall Items.

Each Mall Seller understands and agrees that it will be responsible for any non-conformity or defect in, or any public or private recall of, any of the Mall Items, and will hold ALDI Shop harmless from any losses relating to the foregoing.

2.3    If a Mall Seller is found to have offered or sold any Mall Item on ALDI Shop that is restricted under ALDI Shop’s Prohibited and Restricted Items Policy, ALDI Shop reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, remove the offending Mall Items from ALDI Shop, and execute refunds (and any adjustments) to Mall Buyers who have purchased such Mall Items (even if Mall Buyers did not comply with any of the requirements described in Section 1 above), in which case Mall Seller agrees to reimburse ALDI Shop for all such refunds (including any related costs and charges) and authorizes ALDI Shop to deduct such amounts from any amounts payable to Mall Seller or take such other action as deemed appropriate by ALDI Shop in its discretion.

2.4    ALDI Shop’s determination to approve a refund or return of a Mall Item pursuant to Section 1 above is binding on the relevant Mall Seller. Mall Sellers agree to comply and do all such things as necessary to give effect to a Mall Buyer’s request for a refund or return approved by ALDI Shop.

If Mall Seller fails to provide a Local Address for return of the returned Mall Item or otherwise fails to accept delivery of the returned Mall Item within a reasonable period of time (as determined by ALDI Shop), ALDI Shop reserves the right to dispose of such Mall Item in any manner it sees fit and Mall Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Mall Item.

2.6    Notwithstanding the above, ALDI Shop Shop may determine at its sole and absolute discretion that a Mall Item approved for refund or return shall not be returned to Mall Seller, and Mall Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to such Mall Item. 

2.7    For any refund or return rejected by ALDI Shop where the relevant Mall Item was received by ALDI Shop Shop, ALDI Shop will organize the delivery of such Mall Item to the relevant Mall Buyer’s address pursuant to Section 1.6 above.

2.8    Where ALDI Shop approves any refund or return request, Mall Seller may appeal such decision by contacting ALDI Shop and providing evidence in support of such appeal.  If ALDI Shop upholds Mall Seller’s appeal, it will disburse all or part of the Buyer’s Purchase Monies to Mall Seller.  Mall Seller acknowledges and agrees that ALDI Shop’s decision is final, conclusive and binding, and covenants and agrees that it will not bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against ALDI Shop or its affiliates in relation to such decision.
