Joom Terms and Conditions
These “Terms” constitute the contractual agreement between you, a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom (“you”, “your”) and SIA “Joom”, registration number 40103993365, registered address: 78-1, Gustava Zemgala St, LV-1039, Riga, Latvia (“Joom”, “we”, “us”, “our”), regarding your use of and access to the website located at https://www.joom.com and/or any other websites owned or operated by Joom or any portions thereof (collectively, the “Website”), our mobile app “Joom” (the “App”, together with the Website also referred to as the “Site”), content of Website and/or App (the “Content”), customer service in relation to the Content (including refunds) and any resources, features, functionality, or services made available through Website and/or App (the “Service”). Privacy Policy is an integral part of Terms and all the Services are being provided in accordance with it.
Please read these Terms carefully and fully before using Website, App, Service, registration on Website and/or App. When you use our Services or register with us you agree to all of these Terms and become subject to our Privacy Policy (including the Cookie Policy) that covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information.
Joom reserves the right at any time and at its sole discretion to modify, refuse (to anyone for any reason), or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website, the App, or the Service (or any part thereof), as well as to modify the Terms with or without any notice. You agree that Joom shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any claim or loss related to you and arising out of such modification, suspension, amendment, or discontinuance of the Service.
# How we Provide Services
Anyone can use our Website or App without registration and hence to have unlimited access to our Content. The moment you get access to Joom (without registration or prior use of our Services), we process the information on your current location, your actions during your session and other information (as described in more details in our Privacy Policy) that we consider anonymous, as it does not contain information that will help us identify you as a natural person.
Since we care about safety of your personal data and are willing to make your customer experience a pleasant one, we use the best available technologies to provide you with an ability to enjoy a tailored content anytime in the future after you register or place an order at Joom, take advantage of efficient payment processing, delivery options and many other features that we hope you will truly enjoy. Due to the legal requirements, including those arising from the European data protection law (GDPR), we are unable to provide Services or keep the information that you provide during the registration process until you accept these Terms. You will have the opportunity to manage personal data settings in your profile right after you accept our Terms, as explained in more details in our Privacy Policy.
It is your responsibility to regularly check the Website or App to determine if there have been any changes to these Terms and to review such changes. If you do not agree to these or any future Terms, please do not use (or continue to use) our Services. At its sole discretion, Joom may also offer other services or features governed by different terms and conditions.
# Joom’s Role in Transactions
Joom provides a platform for merchants who comply with Joom’s policies to offer and sell certain goods.
Joom acts as a commercial agent of merchants within the scope of powers, rights, and authorities set in the agreement between them, including the powers and rights to negotiate and conclude transactions on behalf of merchants via Website and/or App, set the final price for the items listed on Website and/or App (“Items”), ensure the delivery of Items, and (at Joom’s sole discretion) assist merchants in the receipt and processing of buyer’s claims for refund and guarantee. Notwithstanding the above-mentioned, Joom has no control over the quality, safety, morality, or legality of any aspect of Items, the truth or accuracy of Items, and the ability of merchants to sell Items. By ordering Items on the Site, you conclude an agreement for purchase directly with a merchant.
Joom acts as an agent of merchants for purposes of receiving payments in favour of merchants, and paying the amounts owed to merchants with regards to transactions concluded by you and merchants on Website and/or App. Joom does not provide payment services. Joom is entitled to determine the payment services providers (“PSP”) that will take all necessary actions for payment, acceptance, acquiring, processing, and servicing of payments associated with transactions between merchants and you. SIA Joom reserves the right to designate any number of PSPs.
Chargebacks related to customers and fraud related risks shall be investigated by the relevant PSP in accordance with the applicable rules and contractual obligations.
Your payment obligation to a merchant shall be deemed fulfilled upon receipt of payment by Joom (or its PSP, as applicable), and Joom (via its PSP, as applicable) is responsible for remitting the funds to merchants in the manner described in Joom’s and merchant’s agreement with PSP. In the event that Joom (via its PSP) does not remit any such amounts to a merchant, a merchant will have recourse only against Joom (or its PSP, as applicable) and not you directly. Apart from the above-mentioned, any rights that you may have in respect of any Item are only against merchants from whom you purchase this Item and not against Joom. Joom does not act as a commercial agent for you.
Please feel free to contact Joom Support at support@joom.com with any questions or concerns.

In case you act as a business entity and not as a consumer, you shall notify Joom on that prior to making the order on the Site.

# Linking and Third-Party Content
Website, App, and Service may contain links to third-party websites not under our control or operation. Joom or users may provide any such links only as a convenience; Joom does not endorse and is not responsible for or have control over the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site. The Website and/or App may contain news, advertisements, content, image, and information published by various third-party providers.

You are solely responsible for protecting yourself, your device, and your systems from worms, viruses, Trojan horses, and any other harmful content.
You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it.

# Copyright Infringement
Since we respect artist and content owner rights, it is Joom’s policy to consider notices of alleged infringements.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on Joom, please notify Joom’s copyright agent at ipr@joom.com. When filing your report, please provide the following information:
- An electronic or physical signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner,
- Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed,
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on Joom,
- Information reasonably sufficient to allow Joom to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and e-mail address,
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or law, and
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.
# Sales, Custom and Value-added taxes
In an effort to comply with consumer legislation, we strongly encourage our merchants, as well as our end customers to maintain good standing with respect to custom and value-added taxes or VAT, where applicable.
Due to separate and applicable tax jurisdictions, the end customers’ purchases may be subject to specific sales, custom, or value-added taxes (and it is your responsibility to pay these, if applicable), and the shipping time and associated cost may increase. When ordering via the Website or App you act as importer of goods and must fully comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
Joom will issue invoices for the sales in certain cases instead of the merchant from whom you purchase goods. Such invoices shall be considered as invoices for VAT purposes. By making orders on the Site, you agree to receive the invoices from Joom electronically (via emails) or via your account on Joom. In case of any discrepancies between the information in the invoice and the information shown at the checkout stage, in the email with a confirmation of the order or in the documents accompanying the goods, the invoice issued by Joom shall prevail. If you have not received the invoice within 30 days from the day of the order, please check whether you provided the correct email address or contact Joom.
Joom or its affiliated companies have contractual arrangements with logistics providers, customs brokers and other third parties involved in the delivery of the ordered Items to you and customs clearance activities. The following companies may be engaged in customs clearance of the ordered Items:
- G3 Worldwide Hong Kong Limited
- Koninklijke PostNL B.V.
- Bpost Hong Kong Limited
- Bpost N.V.
- China Post Express Logistics Co., Ltd
- Hermes BorderGuru GmbH
- DHL eCommerce Hong Kong Limited
- Compañía Auxiliar al Cargo Express, S.A.
- Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos, S.A.
- Hecny PAL Limited
- HongKong YunExpress Logistics Limited
- Paket Taşimacilik Sistemleri Ve Tur. Bil. Tic. A.Ş.
Please note that the list is not exhaustive. Should require an up-to-date list of the companies contracted, please reach out to the Joom Support team.
By placing an order on the Site, you also agree that Joom – and other affiliated companies or third parties, including those listed above – shall provide the customs clearance services in your name and on your behalf. Joom and each such affiliated or third party shall be considered as duly authorized by you for the provision of any such activities required for the delivery of the Items.
# How to Purchase
It is easy to make a purchase from the Joom website.
- Choose a product, pick a variant (colour, size, bundle option),
- “Add to cart”,
- Choose the quantity (the default quantity is 1),
- “Buy”,
- “Next”,
- Input your personal data and shipping information,
- Check the data and confirm your order.
- Input payment card data: card number, expiration date, and CVV code (card data is encrypted and processed by the billing system of the bank).
When making payment for Item chosen by you on Website or App, you use the necessary payment services of the designated payment service providers (“Payment Processor”). By entering payment card data and agreeing to make/confirm payment you agree to Payment Processor’s terms of service. If you do not agree with Payment Processor’s terms of services, please leave the payment window and cancel your order.
Should you make further payments for the Items chosen by you on Website or App, your consent to use of the services of the same Payment Processor and its terms of service shall be deemed to have been given for further payments.
The merchant will receive your order information 2 hours after payment. If you change your mind within 2 hours of purchase, you can cancel the order at the bottom of the order page (see “How to Request a Refund” below).
Please note that it may not always be possible for a merchant or Joom (on behalf of a merchant) to accept an order (perhaps, because you live in a country that restricts imports or imposes high import tariffs or for other reasons) and that an order will only become binding if it is accepted by the merchant.
It typically takes 1-2 days for a merchant to ship your order, although the exact shipment and delivery times will vary depending on your location.
Your payment may be processed through Ingenico ePayments (Neptunusstraat 45, 2132 JA Hoofddorp) or Bambora AB (P.O. Box 17026, SE-104 62 Stockholm, Sweden) or PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449, Luxembourg) or PayPal, Inc (2211 N. 1st Street, San Jose, California 95131) or LLC NCO "Yandex.Money" (115035, Moscow, Sadovnicheskaya street, 82, bldg. 2) or QIWI Bank JSC (117648, Moscow, mkr. North Chertanovo, 1А, bldg. 1) or PayU Ödeme Kuruluşu Anonim Şirketi (Huzur Mah. Ayazağa Cad.

# Refund Terms

- More than 75 days since the purchase date have passed and the product has not been delivered. This period may be temporarily extended in specific cases. You will be notified about any such extension before your order is accepted.
- Product quality is significantly worse than that in the relevant product description (the Item is defective, damaged (if such circumstances are not specifically noted in the description) or the information provided in its description turns out to be substantially incorrect) on Website or in App and there is no way you can enjoy the product properly.
- You have changed your mind on the purchase within 14 days of receiving your product and you have not used the product or done anything to it that makes it no longer saleable as new.

Used Items must not have any additional signs of use or damage.
You should return the product to the merchant. Please note that if the merchant is located outside of the country to which the item was ordered by you, you might be required to ship the item to such another country where the merchant is located. To be sure that you will ship the item to the correct address, don’t forget to contact our customer support team. Only after our support team has received a proof of the return shipment, a refund can be considered. We aim to respond to all requests within 48 hours upon receiving.
The following products cannot be returned unless received defective:
- Products that are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by you after delivery, or that are, after delivery, inseparably mixed with other Items,
- Sealed audio or video recordings or sealed software (incl. video games) if unsealed by you after delivery,

- Digital content (including apps, digital software, e-books, MP3, etc.) that is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that the supplier could begin delivering it, and that you could not cancel it once delivery had started.
- Goods damaged by abuse or negligence (exposure to chemicals, caustic substances, open flame, high heat, sharp object, etc.) and/or by misuse or activities other than the intended purpose are also not returnable.
Joom does not cover the shipment costs of returns.
You may be entitled to a partial refund if:
- Product quality is slightly different than that in the relevant product description and you are still able to enjoy the purchase.
Please note that Joom reserves the right to consider your request for refund carefully and request you to provide additional evidence (including photo or video of the product claimed to be defective) in order to decide whether you are entitled to refund or other kinds of compensation (if any).
