Refund and Dispute Policy

 

1) Who is the seller

Naija.Events is a marketplace platform. Third-party vendors sell and fulfil orders. We provide secure payments and help with dispute resolution.

2) How to report a problem

Go to your Order page and click “Report a problem”, or email admin@naija.events.
Do this within 7 days of delivery for goods, or within 48 hours after a service date.
Include clear details and evidence: photos/video, delivery slip, order number, and your preferred resolution.

3) What vendors must do

  • Respond to the buyer within 48 hours.

  • Offer a fix: replacement, repair, missing items, or refund.

  • Provide proof of delivery or service if asked.

4) When refunds apply

We may approve a refund, partial refund, or replacement when:

  • The item is not delivered.

  • The item is damaged, defective, expired, or not as described.

  • The service was not provided or was materially different from the order description.

  • An event is cancelled by the organizer (for tickets sold via Event Websites or the Get Tickets widget).

5) When refunds do not apply

  • Buyer’s change of mind after delivery if the listing/order said “non-returnable.”

  • Perishables after delivery, unless spoiled on arrival.

  • Custom or made-to-measure items after work has started, unless defective.

  • Cut fabrics and tailored Aso-Ebi after cutting or sewing has started, unless defective.

  • Services completed as described.

6) Event tickets and registrations (Event Websites / Get Tickets Button)

  • If an event is cancelled, buyers receive a refund of the ticket face value.

  • If an event is rescheduled, tickets remain valid. Buyers who cannot attend may request a refund before the new date.

  • Postponements over 30 days are treated like a cancellation unless the organizer sets and communicates a new date.

  • Platform or gateway fees may not be refundable except where required by law or at our discretion.

7) Returns and return shipping

  • If a return is required, the item must be unused and in original packaging unless it arrived damaged.

  • The vendor should provide a return address in Nigeria.

  • Return shipping is covered by the party at fault (vendor pays if vendor is at fault; buyer pays if buyer is at fault).

  • Use a trackable method and share the tracking number.

8) Aso-Ebi distribution in Lagos

  • Where Naija.Events helps with pickup and delivery, our staff record items collected/delivered with photos, counts, and signed logs.

  • If there is a mismatch, we investigate using logs, photos, and messages.

  • If the vendor packed wrong items/quantities, the vendor must correct or refund.

  • If items go missing while in our custody, Naija.Events will correct the issue or refund the affected items.

9) Payouts and holds

  • We may place a temporary hold on vendor payouts during a dispute.

  • We release funds when the case is resolved.

10) Chargebacks

  • Please contact us first—we resolve most issues faster than banks.

  • If a buyer files a chargeback, we share evidence with the bank.

  • Repeated chargebacks or fraud may lead to account limits or closure.

11) Timelines

  • Vendor first response: within 48 hours.

  • Typical case resolution: 7–10 business days after we receive all evidence.

  • Refund speed: once approved, Paystack usually returns funds to the original payment method within 5–10 business days (bank timelines may vary).
