XOOBAY Platform Customer Support Policy

Welcome to the XOOBAY Platform! This XOOBAY Platform Customer Support Policy (hereinafter referred to as the "Support Policy") is intended to clarify the scope, methods, standards, and rights and obligations of both parties regarding the support services provided by the XOOBAY Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "Platform") to platform users (hereinafter referred to as "Customers"), ensuring professional and efficient services in cross-border shopping scenarios.

Special Statement: In accordance with Hong Kong laws and regulations such as the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553), Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Cap. 362), Consumer Goods Safety Ordinance (Cap. 456), and Consumer Council Ordinance (Cap. 216), the Platform only acts as a technical service and transaction matching platform. It provides technical support, process guidance, and information transmission services for transactions between Customers and third-party sellers on the Platform (hereinafter referred to as "Sellers"). The Platform does not directly participate in commodity sales or cross-border trade operations, nor does it constitute any party in the sales contract relationship. The Platform shall not assume any responsibility on behalf of Sellers for product quality, fulfillment of delivery obligations, after-sales support, etc. Meanwhile, the Platform shall not be liable for the following matters:

1. Any customs clearance-related issues, including but not limited to preparation of customs clearance materials, authenticity verification, submission of declarations, as well as customs clearance delays, failures, and return of goods caused by non-compliant materials, policy changes, or customs administrative actions. According to the Import and Export Declaration Rules of the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, the obligation to accurately declare imported and exported goods rests with the importer/exporter of the goods or their authorized representatives. The Platform does not have the qualification or statutory obligation to make such declarations.

2. Any tax-related issues, including but not limited to calculation, declaration, payment, and supplementary payment of import duties and value-added tax, as well as penalties and late payment fees resulting from tax non-compliance. Such liabilities shall be borne by the tax obligor in accordance with Hong Kong tax laws and regulations.

3. Capital security issues caused by Customers' own reasons, including but not limited to leakage of account information, operational errors (e.g., incorrect entry of receiving information, duplicate payments), and capital losses arising from the use of non-cooperative payment channels publicly announced by the Platform.

The XOOBAY Platform's support services cover all scenarios related to platform functions and rules in cross-border shopping. In addition to basic services, it also provides platform-level specialized support tailored to the characteristics of cross-border e-commerce, as detailed below:

3.1 Platform Support for the Entire Order Lifecycle

  • Order Creation Support: Assists Customers in understanding matters such as "platform format specifications for filling in overseas addresses, basic platform requirements for verifying recipient information (not official customs clearance review standards), and platform operation processes for combining/splitting multiple items in an order" to ensure that order information complies with the Platform's cross-border fulfillment rules and standards. The accuracy of product information and fulfillment commitments after order placement shall be the responsibility of Sellers. In accordance with the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, Sellers shall bear legal liability for the authenticity of product information; the Platform shall not bear relevant liabilities. Customs clearance issues caused by incorrect address entry shall be resolved by Customers through negotiation with Sellers; the Platform will not provide assistance.
  • Order Modification and Cancellation Support: Assists Customers in modifying the address or removing items from a cross-border order after payment but before shipment (subject to compliance with both platform rules and the modification permissions set by Sellers). For order cancellation requests that comply with platform rules, the Platform will assist in coordinating with Sellers to avoid unnecessary cross-border logistics costs. Whether an order can be modified/canceled and the relevant liability for breach of contract shall be determined by Sellers and Customers in accordance with their mutual agreement. The Platform only provides process assistance and does not have the right to force Sellers to accept modification/cancellation requests. The Platform shall not be liable for customs clearance delays or supplementary tax payments caused by delayed order modifications.
  • Order Status Tracking Support: Provides full-node visualized tracking services, including "shipment from domestic warehouse (node of the logistics provider connected to the Platform) - international trunk transportation (logistics track displayed on the Platform) - preparation for customs clearance at the destination country (notification from the logistics provider associated with the Platform) - local delivery (information from the logistics provider associated with the Platform)". Meanwhile, the Platform will send logistics node reminders to Customers via SMS/email and support platform-linked inquiries about the logistics tracking number of the local logistics provider at the destination country. The progress and results of the customs clearance process, as well as the payment of relevant taxes, shall be handled by Sellers and Customers. According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, the declarant for customs clearance shall be liable for the accuracy of the declared content. The Platform does not provide customs clearance status tracking or tax payment services on behalf of others. Issues such as logistics delays, lost or damaged packages shall be resolved by Sellers through negotiation with logistics providers; the Platform only assists in providing logistics track information and does not bear compensation liabilities. The Platform shall not be liable for capital losses caused by Customers' own reasons (e.g., failure to check logistics notifications in a timely manner).

3.2 Platform-Specific Support for Cross-Border Logistics

  • Logistics Solution Consultation: Based on the logistics characteristics, timeliness requirements, and budget of the Customer's country/region, provides basic information on compliant logistics channels cooperated with the Platform (e.g., Yanwen, DHL, FedEx, postal parcels, dedicated line logistics), including detailed explanations of the timeliness range (reference value), freight standards (reference price displayed on the Platform), and platform reminders of logistics risks. The selection of logistics channels, actual freight costs, and quality of logistics services shall be determined by Sellers and Customers through mutual agreement; the Platform shall not bear direct liability for logistics services. Customers shall consult Sellers or logistics providers regarding customs clearance requirements and tax prepayment policies related to logistics channels; the Platform will not provide relevant answers.
  • Customs Clearance Assistance (Information Guidance Only): Provides a platform reference list of materials required for customs clearance at the destination country (compiled based on public information, not an official mandatory requirement), and guides Customers to prepare materials in accordance with platform prompts. However, the Platform does not assume responsibility for verifying the authenticity of materials or submitting them for customs clearance. When issues such as customs clearance delays, supplementary payment of customs duties, or detention of goods arise, the Platform will only assist Customers in contacting Sellers to provide transaction-related supporting documents (e.g., commercial invoices) and will not directly engage with customs clearance agents or customs authorities. Whether customs clearance is approved, the resolution of customs clearance delays, and the bearing of relevant taxes and fees shall be determined by Sellers and Customers in accordance with their agreement. According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, the declarant shall bear losses caused by customs clearance failures; the Platform shall not bear any liability for customs clearance failures or supplementary tax payments.
  • International Logistics Anomaly Handling: For issues such as "lost logistics packages, damaged packages, and incorrect delivery addresses (cross-border segment)", the Platform assists Customers in providing feedback to Sellers, provides evidence of logistics anomalies obtained by the Platform, and coordinates with Sellers and domestic/overseas logistics providers to initiate claims processes. The final solution and compensation liability shall be determined by Sellers and Customers through negotiation; the Platform shall not assume compensation obligations on behalf of Sellers. The Platform shall not be liable for customs clearance delays or tax losses caused by logistics anomalies.

3.3 Platform Support for Multi-Currency Payment and Cross-Border Finance

  • Payment Issue Resolution (Only for Cooperative Payment Channels Publicly Announced by the Platform): Assists in handling issues such as "multi-currency payment failures (troubleshooting of cooperative payment channels of the Platform, e.g., platform prompts for card organization intercepts, platform explanations of amount mismatches caused by exchange rate fluctuations), interpretation of platform rules on cross-border payment service fees, and explanation of platform processes for refund arrival time". The Platform collaborates with cooperative payment institutions to investigate the causes of issues and ensure the smooth flow of funds in the platform payment process. The actual causes of payment failures (e.g., insufficient funds in the card, bank risk control intercepts, use of non-cooperative payment channels by Customers) and the refund amount/timeline shall be determined by Sellers and payment institutions; the Platform only provides process assistance and does not bear liability for capital losses. The Platform shall not be liable for capital security issues caused by Customers' own operational errors (e.g., duplicate payments, incorrect entry of amounts) or leakage of account information.
  • Payment Security Guarantee (Only for Platform Security Vulnerabilities): In the event of "unauthorized payments or account theft caused by platform security vulnerabilities", the Platform will immediately assist Customers in initiating payment appeals at the platform level, simultaneously freeze funds for abnormal orders on the Platform, and cooperate with cross-border payment institutions to trace the source of funds. The Platform adopts encryption technology that meets the standards of the Electronic Transactions Ordinance to ensure the security of electronic transactions and the legal validity of electronic records and electronic signatures. The Platform shall not bear compensation liability for account theft or capital losses caused by Customers' own reasons (e.g., password leakage, stolen devices, clicking on phishing links), but will only provide guidance on the appeal process and assistance with querying transaction records.

3.4 Platform Support for Cross-Border Products and Compliance

  • Cross-Border Product After-Sales Assistance: For issues such as "product quality problems (cross-border inspection certificates are required) and size/specification mismatches (must comply with the standards of the destination country)", the Platform assists Customers in negotiating with Sellers on solutions such as "cross-border return and exchange (platform process guidance)" or "cross-border refund + compensation voucher", and clarifies the platform-level return and exchange process, platform rules on freight bearing, and platform timeline for refund arrival. Whether the product quality meets standards, whether the size matches, and the determination of after-sales liability shall be made by Sellers and Customers through negotiation. In accordance with the Consumer Goods Safety Ordinance, Sellers must ensure that the products supplied meet reasonable safety standards; the Platform shall not assume after-sales compensation liability on behalf of Sellers. Customs clearance and tax issues related to returns and exchanges shall be handled by both parties independently; the Platform will not provide assistance.

3.5 Platform Support for Cross-Language and Localization Services

  • Cross-Language Communication Coordination: Provides platform-level written document translation (not official certified translation, for information transmission purposes only) and real-time communication assistance when Customers communicate with domestic Sellers or overseas logistics providers, so as to eliminate language barriers. The authenticity of the communication content and the final agreement reached shall be the responsibility of the communicating parties; the Platform shall not bear liability for translation errors or communication disputes. The Platform does not provide translation services for communication content related to customs clearance or taxation.
  • Localized Service Connection: Assists Customers in connecting with information on local service resources at the destination country that are cooperated with the Platform (e.g., product installation services, contact information for local after-sales maintenance), and conducts formal verification of the qualifications of localized service providers at the platform level. The quality of services and service fees shall be determined by Customers and localized service providers through mutual agreement; the Platform shall not bear liability for services. Tax issues related to localized services shall be handled by Customers independently; the Platform will not provide assistance.
