Returns & Refund Policy

At Ownify, we strive to build a fair, balanced, and transparent multi-vendor digital ecosystem. Because our platform enables purchases directly from independent sellers, this Returns & Refund Policy outlines the structured protocols, timelines, and requirements governing item returns and reimbursement executions within Ghana.

01 The Ownify Return Cycle

When an eligible return request is initiated, the product must advance through our specific operational log chain to verify its condition before any funds are approved for release:

1. Drop-Off Window (Customer Deadline)

Once a return authorization is approved on the Platform, you have a maximum window of 3 consecutive calendar days to surrender the item to an authorized Ownify courier partner or designated regional fulfillment hub. Failure to execute drop-off within this window automatically cancels the return case.

2. Reverse Transit & Logistical Routing

The returned package is routed through our domestic reverse supply networks back to our central warehouse facilities in Tema. This reverse physical handling segment generally takes 3 to 4 business days from the initial drop-off completion date.

3. Technical Quality Examination (QC)

Upon physical reception at our Tema operations facility, dedicated specialists conduct a rigorous quality verification procedure within 1 to 3 business days. The product is scrutinized to ensure it matches the serial numbers, original labels, structural integrity, and documentation associated with the transaction log.

4. Refund Execution & Remittance

If the item successfully passes the technical QC check, a refund is instantly authorized. The financial payout is routed back to your original source engine (Mobile Money or institutional bank ledger) in full alignment with third-party payment partner clearing cycles.

02 Non-Returnable Hygiene Items

To preserve stringent healthcare, public sanitary compliance, and consumer safety standards, certain categories of merchandise are completely excluded from our standard return rules. We accept returns on platform items EXCEPT for the following specialized categories:

Socks & Hosiery Swim Suits & Beachwear Underwear & Briefs Lingerie & Intimates Perfumes & Fragrances Cosmetics & Makeup Wigs & Hair Extensions Household Cleaning Agents Digital Software & Licenses Baby Care & Infant Feeders Solid Gold & Custom Jewelry Perishable Groceries & Foodstuffs

03 Electronics & Technical Warranties

Electronics, appliances, and smart gadgets fall under specific diagnostic protocols because they often carry independent manufacturer protections:

  • Warranty Invoicing: If an electronic asset exhibits a factory defect covered by an active manufacturer warranty, our support crew will provide an official tax invoice. You will be directed to visit the closest authorized brand service center in Ghana for immediate mechanical remediation or hardware replacement.
  • Operational Diagnostics: If an electronic unit is returned directly to Ownify within the valid platform return window due to internal hardware failure, it must undergo our independent technical evaluation to isolate user fault from production errors.
Mandatory Device Action: Before submitting any smartphone, computer, tablet, or connected device for a return drop-off, you must remove all cloud account profiles, disable password locks, and wipe personal data files. Packages that arrive locked, passcode-restricted, or containing active personal profiles will be immediately rejected without evaluation.

04 Important Return Rules

To prevent platform exploitation and ensure balanced protections for our marketplace sellers, all users must adhere to the following strict transactional rules:

  • Change of Mind Limitations: We do not offer refunds or returns based on buyer remorse, stylistic reconsiderations, or simple change of mind if the original factory box or protective plastic shrink-wrap seal has been altered, torn, broken, or opened.
  • Wrong or Discrepant Deliveries: If you receive an item completely different from your ordered order profile, you must file a formal complaint notification within 48 hours of physical receipt. Claims made after 48 hours will be assumed accepted and final.
  • Large & Major Appliances: Bulk oversized assets (such as heavy-duty refrigerators, commercial deep freezers, and industrial washing machines) cannot be returned via standard couriers. You must contact our support center directly to schedule special freight recovery teams.
  • No Direct Exchanges: To ensure accurate bookkeeping within our multi-vendor engine, Ownify does not process direct item-for-item exchanges. If you need a different size, alternative color, or variation, you must return the original item for a qualifying refund and submit a completely new order request on the marketplace application.
