The Merchant agrees that it is solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of its products/services. Klump is under no obligation to process returns of the Merchant’s products and/or services or to respond to Consumers' inquiries about returns of the Merchant’s products/services.
Where Consumers' return Merchant’s products and Klump refunds the 25% deposit paid, the said sum becomes due to Klump by Merchant, and it shall be deducted from the Merchant’s pending or future payout. The Merchant agrees to pay all outstanding refunds through Klump’s designated bank account.
