We reserve the right to set and update such exchange rates regularly at our sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect Merchandise pricing on the Service. You will be charged according to the applicable exchange rate at the time you place your Order via the Service.
5.4. Taxes.
5.4.1. For certain shipping destination countries and/or Merchandise, you may be offered the option to pre-pay applicable Taxes, which will then be calculated and included in the final price when you place an Order through the Service. You acknowledge that such Taxes are set by the shipping destination country and therefore may vary from country to country.
5.4.2. In the event that the option to pre-pay applicable Taxes is available for you and you choose to pre-pay such Taxes, your final price will be fully guaranteed by Global-E, and Global-E will be fully responsible for paying the actual Taxes as will be determined by your shipping destination country upon import of your Order, including if the amount of such actual Taxes will be different than the amount paid by you to Global-E as part of your checkout process.

5.5. Orders, Acceptance and Steps to Conclude the Contract.
You place your order by using the applicable ordering process. This involves selecting the Merchandise, placing it in the shopping cart and transmitting the order by clicking on the “PAY AND PLACE ORDER” button. This process permits you to check and amend any errors before making an order by using the “back” button. Your acceptance of these Terms does not constitute our acceptance of your Order to buy the Merchandise – it only constitutes our acknowledgement of your Order. We do not accept your Order (and therefore we make no commitment to provide you with the Merchandise), and no contract for the sale of such Merchandise shall come intoeffect, until we specifically accept your Order and notify you by email that we have actually received the Merchandise from the Retailer. Once you have placedyour Order, we will promptly acknowledge your Order by sending you an email which will contain the relevant details of your Order. To the extent that thepayment method you selected during the checkout process supports an class=SpellE>authorisation mechanism (e.g. most credit-cards), when youplace your Order we will only >authorise the applicable amounts, and you will be charged the applicable amounts only after the Merchandise you have ordered has been received and processed by Global-E. We make commercially reasonable efforts to process and fulfill any Order you place through the Service as quickly as possible. However, we reserve the right, upon notice to you, to refuse or cancel Orders if: (a) the Merchandise you selected is unavailable; (b) we are unable to verify the payment information you provided; (c) the description or pricing information for the Merchandise you selected is inaccurate or incorrect; and/or (d) you seriously breach these Terms. We may also require additional verifications or information before accepting any Order.
5.6. Fulfillment, handling and delivery of Orders.
You acknowledge and agree that we, or one of our third party fulfillment services providers (each a "Fulfillment Provider") may handle the shipping and fulfillment of your Order. Delivery will be complete when we deliver to the address which you specify when ordering. We may deliver different parts of your order on different dates. Delivery is only to the countries specified on the Retailer’s website and is subject to any restrictions stated there. Unless otherwise stated, delivery dates given on the Retailer’s delivery page and/or as part the checkout process are estimates only. We have no liability for any losses arising from delay in delivery to the extent that this is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control and where we could not have taken reasonable steps to deal with the delay. For example, delays resulting from customs clearance procedures or other actions of relevant authorities are generally outside our reasonable control. If you receive notification of an unsuccessful attempted delivery, it is your responsibility to use the details provided to contact the delivery company to arrange re-delivery. If nobody is available to receive the Merchandise, we reserve the right to leave them at the doorstep, hall or reception as available.
5.7. Risk and ownership.
Risk of damage or loss to the Merchandise passes to you on delivery to you or to somebody identified by you to take possession of the Merchandise or to your carrier.

This is our Returns Policy which applies to all customers. It is in addition to, and does not affect, the separate legal right of cancellation which is available to EEA Consumers in some circumstances as explained above. Nor does it apply to faulty Merchandise. Please note, that, in the case of returns, even though you will be returning Merchandise directly to us, returns (including whether you have a right to return Merchandise) are nevertheless subject to the terms and conditions of the return policy of the applicable Retailer from whom Global-E has purchased such Merchandise and then resold to you ("Retailer Return Policy"). However, despite the provisions of any Retailer Return Policy: (a) in order to return Merchandise, you must request an RMA (see below) within thirty (30) days from the date the Order was placed (even if the Retailer Return Policy specifies a longer period) and ship the return Merchandise to us promptly upon receipt of the RMA, and (b) Global-E will not accept any return Merchandise that was used or damaged by you or where the original packaging of such Merchandise has been opened.
7.2. Return Procedure.
If you wish to return Merchandise under this Additional Returns Policy, you must first contact Global-E in order to obtain a return merchandise authorisation ("RMA"). Global-E will then contact you within a reasonable time to confirm to you whether the Return Policy of the applicable Retailer entitles you to return the Merchandise. If Global-E decides that you are so entitled, we will provide you with instructions concerning return shipment, including an RMA number which you must include in the return package ("RMA Instructions"). Upon receipt of the returned Merchandise by Global-E and/or the Retailer (as applicable) and confirmation that it has been returned in accordance with the applicable requirements, Global-E will reimburse you for the original sale price of the returned Merchandise. If you have paid Taxes in connection with your Order (either pre-paid through the Service or paid upon receipt of the Order), you acknowledge that (a) you must request reimbursement directly from the customs authority in your country, (b) it will be your sole responsibility to claim such Taxes back from the customs authority in your country, and (c) we cannot guarantee that such claim will be successful. If you have pre-paid Taxes through the Service in connection with your Order, upon your written request we will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist you in obtaining reimbursement of such Taxes. Any Delivery Costs paid in connection with the Order are non-reimbursable. Moreover, any shipping and clearance costs incurred by you when returning Merchandise are non-reimbursable. You agree to ship the Merchandise back to us using a Fulfillment Provider substantially similar to the Fulfillment Provider used in shipping the Merchandise to you. For example, if your Order was shipped through acourier service offering a tracking number, you must return the Merchandise back to us using a similar courier service offering a tracking number.
