Exporta Wholesale is committed to 100% customer satisfaction. In case the Buyer receives a damaged or off-quality product, the Buyer will have 5 days after receiving the product to submit a formal claim; Exporta will only accept the claim if one of the following holds true:
Exporta will work with the Buyer and Supplier to either credit or send replacement products if the issue is 5% or less of the order size. The Supplier will be responsible for replacing, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, defective units in excess of 5% of the unit order size at Supplier’s sole cost and expense. Should the first order be rejected by the Buyer, for any of the above reasons, the Buyer will be issued a full refund or full replacement. Any additional orders (reorders) from a Supplier are not eligible for return unless the order is defective or as otherwise determined at Exporta’s sole discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that any orders from a Supplier not covered under Exporta’s Return Policy are not eligible for return, except under certain limited circumstances described therein. Although Exporta agrees to pay free shipping on returned items that qualify, you acknowledge and agree that you pay for all shipping costs to your warehouse. Those shipping costs are non-refundable, even if you later return those items for free under this Section.
Exporta may, at its option, promote and distribute any returned products through its various redistribution channels. Other Buyers may purchase these returned products without meeting the Supplier’s Minimum. You acknowledge and agree that Exporta may promote and redistribute such products bearing your name through these and/or other avenues/channels. If you do not want your returned products to be re-sold or redistributed by Exporta, you may opt-in to our Buy-Back Program, where available, which will allow you to buy back your returned inventory subject to certain additional terms and conditions made available to you prior to opting in (Exporta will also consider individual buy-backs in its reasonable discretion).
You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for resolving the issue, including making a claim with the Supplier, your shipping provider (if not shipped with Exporta), insurance company, and you hereby release Exporta from any liability with regard thereto. Exporta reserves the right to adjust invoices and issue chargebacks to the bank account associated with your account. You have the right to dispute the charge with Exporta but we reserve the right to reject any dispute/claim created by you about the charge.
Please contact our team at ExportaLogistics@exporta.io for general information.
After submitting the dispute request, Exporta will investigate the dispute and collect more information for review. Although Exporta will try to complete the investigation as soon as possible, it can take up to 30 business days before reaching a conclusion. During this time, Exporta might contact you to obtain further information about the situation. Any mediation or remediation is the decision of Exporta. Exporta assumes no liability, and you hereby release Exporta from any such liability related to the decision of the dispute. You agree to indemnify Exporta per the terms of the Indemnification section herein.
Exporta reserves the right to accept or reject any missing or damaged report filed by a Buyer in its sole reasonable discretion, including in the event Exporta suspects any fraudulent activity. Exporta’s decision whether to accept a damaged or missing claim shall be final.
Buyers and Suppliers may contact each other directly through Exporta Wholesale’s platform on the Services. You agree to use Exporta only for legitimate business purposes, such as asking questions about a Supplier’s products, the status of an order or to resolve business issues. You agree to not abuse Exporta Wholesale, to use it only as is reasonably necessary and to not use it for the purpose of harassment or other improper purposes. You agree to reply to any Supplier inquiries within 48 hours. Failing to comply with these service level requirements will negatively impact your Exporta ratings and may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of your Buyer Account, at Exporta's sole discretion.

26. DISPUTE RESOLUTION – ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
You and Exporta agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights; (c) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state or local agency if that action is available; and (d) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND EXPORTA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Exporta otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an experienced (15+ years practicing) attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Exporta otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed US$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Exporta submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent, to the extent permitted by law, with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If applicable arbitration rules or laws require us to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Dispute Resolution provision to be enforceable, then we will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Exporta changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@Exporta.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of Exporta’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Exporta in accordance with the arbitration provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section (however entitled) as of the date you first accepted these Terms or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms.
27. Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Exporta and you regarding the Services and Collective Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Exporta and you regarding the Services and Collective Content.
28. Miscellaneous
The failure by Exporta to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Exporta. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Throughout these Terms, the word “include” or “including” means “including, but not limited to”. Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of these Terms or your use of the Services will survive.
