Unless Markood confirms otherwise in writing, the Vendor is responsible for the delivery cost.
The Vendor must define:
- Eligible products
- Minimum order value
- Delivery area
- Promotion start date
- Promotion end date
- Maximum delivery subsidy
- Any other limitations
Markood may deduct the Vendor-funded delivery amount from the Vendor’s proceeds.
If Markood and the Vendor jointly fund a promotion, the campaign terms must state each party’s contribution.
Free delivery does not remove the customer’s return, refund or consumer rights.
F. Returns and Refunds Policy
F.1 Vendor-responsible events
The Vendor is normally responsible when it provides:
- The wrong product
- The wrong model, size, colour or variation
- An incomplete order
- A missing accessory
- A damaged or defective product
- An unsafe or expired product
- A counterfeit product
- A materially misdescribed product
- A poorly packaged product
- An unavailable product caused by inaccurate stock
- Incorrect weight, dimensions or handling information
Responsibility must be based on available evidence.
F.2 Vendor-responsible costs
When the Vendor is responsible, it may be charged reasonable and documented costs for:
- Customer refund
- Price reduction
- Replacement product
- Original delivery where applicable
- Return collection
- Redelivery
- Additional handling
- Additional vehicle requirements
- Contractually permitted payment reversal or chargeback costs
Charges must be:
- Directly connected to the event
- Documented
- Proportionate
- Permitted under the Vendor Agreement
- Not duplicated or punitive
F.3 Commission reversal
When the customer receives a full refund, Markood will reverse the 5% commission relating to the refunded product amount.
For a partial refund, Markood will reverse the commission proportionally.
Separate costs already incurred—such as payment-processing, completed delivery or return-collection charges—will be allocated under the Vendor Agreement and according to the party responsible.
F.4 Refund process
The Vendor must respond within the case timer.
When a refund is approved, Markood will:
- Initiate the refund through the original payment method
- Update the customer’s order
- Update the Vendor’s transaction ledger
- Apply the relevant commission reversal
- Record any authorised costs or adjustments
The Vendor may challenge an incorrect charge through Markood’s appeal process.
G. Delivery Damage or Loss
The Vendor should not automatically be held responsible merely because it sold the product.
If evidence shows that:
- The Vendor supplied the correct product
- The product was in proper condition
- The product was appropriately packaged
- Handover was correctly completed
- Loss or damage occurred afterwards during delivery
Responsibility should be assigned to Markood or the responsible delivery partner according to the applicable delivery agreement.
Markood may consider:
- Handover records
- Package photographs
- Delivery scans
- Tracking information
- Customer evidence
- Rider or driver reports
- Packaging condition
Mandatory customer remedies remain unaffected while Markood determines responsibility between the involved parties.
H. Customer Withdrawal
Customers retain all withdrawal and cancellation rights available under Swedish and EU consumer law.
For eligible online product purchases, the customer will normally have a 14-day statutory withdrawal period.
Lawful exceptions may apply to categories such as:
- Products made to the customer’s specifications
- Products that deteriorate or expire rapidly
- Certain sealed hygiene products after opening
- Certain digital content
- Fully performed services where the required consent was obtained
- Other legally excluded products or services
The applicable exception must be disclosed before purchase.
A Vendor may offer more generous return terms but must not reduce statutory consumer rights.
For a withdrawal without Vendor fault, return costs will follow the information disclosed to the customer before purchase and applicable law.
I. Product Safety and Recalls
The Vendor is responsible for:
- Product safety
- Required labels
- Traceability
- Warnings and instructions
- Regulatory conformity
- Required manufacturer or importer information
- Recall cooperation
The Vendor must immediately notify Markood about:
- Unsafe products
- Product recalls
- Regulator contact
- Counterfeit allegations
- Serious product complaints
- Newly discovered product risks
Markood may immediately:
- Hide the product
- Stop new orders
- Cancel affected unfulfilled orders
- Request supporting documents
- Notify affected customers
- Cooperate with authorities
- Suspend the Vendor where necessary
The Vendor must preserve relevant evidence and cooperate with any investigation, customer notification or recall.
J. Store Pause and Closure
J.1 Temporary pause
The Vendor may pause new orders immediately through the Vendor Dashboard.
During a pause, the Vendor must still complete or resolve existing:
- Orders
- Deliveries
- Returns
- Refunds
- Disputes
- Chargebacks
- Customer messages
The Vendor must not use pause mode to avoid customer obligations or an investigation.
J.2 Permanent closure
The Vendor may request permanent closure through:
Vendor Dashboard → Account → Close Store
After verification, Markood will normally disable new selling within 24–48 hours.
The account may remain in offboarding or view-only status while the following are resolved:
- Accepted orders
- Deliveries
- Returns
- Refunds
- Complaints
- Disputes
- Chargebacks
- Fees and adjustments

- Required data exports
Final offboarding may take up to 60 days.
If closure cannot be completed within 60 days, Markood will explain:
- Why closure remains incomplete
- What remains outstanding
- The next required action
- The expected next step
Pending Vendor proceeds are not automatically forfeited.
Markood may retain records required for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, product safety, legal claims or regulatory compliance after closure.
K. Policy Enforcement and Appeals
Markood may:
- Request a correction
- Hide or remove a listing
- Restrict a Vendor feature
- Hold affected payments where permitted
- Temporarily suspend a store
- Permanently close a Vendor account
Actions must be proportionate to the violation, risk and available evidence.
Where required by law, Markood will provide the reason and instructions for submitting an appeal.
Appeals may be submitted through:
Vendor Dashboard → Support → Raise a Ticket
