Refunds and Returns Policy
Welcome to The Clothing Communal, your destination for sustainable fashion and sharing pre-loved clothing! Our platform is designed to facilitate the exchange of clothing items using credits earned through contributions to the community. Please read our Returns and Refunds Policy carefully to understand how we handle membership fees and credit-based clothing exchanges.
Membership Fee Refunds:
1. Membership Fee: The Clothing Communal charges a non-refundable membership fee, which grants you access to our exclusive platform. Once you’ve paid your membership fee, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted access to our community for the duration of your membership period.
2. Cancellation: While you can cancel your membership at any time, please note that the membership fee is non-refundable. Your membership will remain active for the current billing period, and you won’t be billed again upon cancellation.
Credit-Based Clothing Purchases:
1. Earning Credits: Our platform operates on a credit-based system. Members earn credits by submitting their unwanted clothing items. These credits can be used to purchase clothing items listed by The Clothing Communal. As such, clothing purchases are based on the use of credits, and we do not offer refunds for credits used in these exchanges.
2. Item Listings: The Clothing Communal is responsible for listing clothing items on our platform. We strive to ensure that all clothing items listed meet a certain quality standard. However, since these items are pre-owned, variations in condition and wear may exist. We recommend thoroughly reviewing item descriptions and images provided by The Clothing Communal before making a purchase with your credits.
3. Disputes: In case of concerns regarding the condition or accuracy of an item received, please contact our support team for assistance. We will review the situation and may provide guidance to help resolve the issue.
4. Exchanges: Once a clothing exchange is completed and credits are deducted, it is considered final. We do not facilitate returns of items unless there is a significant misrepresentation of the item’s condition.
