1. PLACING YOUR ORDER
Placing Orders through the checkout is reserved exclusively for individuals purchasing Products for their own personal use (“Consumers”).
By placing an Order, you represent and warrant that (i) the Order and purchase of Products thereunder is strictly and solely for your personal use, and not for resale, distribution or any other commercial activities; and (ii) you are legally capable (in terms of age and mental capability) of entering into binding contracts per the local legal requirements in the place where you reside.
Orders are placed through the checkout by clicking on the “Place Order” button (or similar button). Please make sure you review your Order carefully, identify and correct any input errors prior to placing your Order.
The checkout displays the Products you purchase, the price thereof, international delivery costs and fees (“Delivery Costs"), any applicable import or sales taxes (such as Value Added Tax, Goods and Services Tax, Consumption Tax), and, if available for pre-payment, import duties, tariffs and similar costs and fees that may be imposed by the delivery destination with respect to your Order (collectively, "Duties and Taxes").
As we offer you the option to purchase the Products in your local or chosen currency, prices on the Store may change from time to time due to exchange rate fluctuations. However, the price of the Products, the Delivery Costs and Duties and Taxes of the Order (if available for pre-payment), will be those that were displayed to you on the checkout at the time you actually placed your Order.
The checkout page will specify the payment methods available for your Order. The availability of such payment methods is dependent on your geographical location.
You acknowledge and agree that: (i) Global-e will use one of its third party payment processors providers ("Payment Processor") to process your payment (while Global-e is acting as the merchant of record), using the payment method you have selected on checkout and it may use the tools, technology or the services of the Payment Processors to process the transaction on its behalf; and (ii) you will provide valid and current information about yourself.
If the payment method you selected for the Order supports pre-authorization mechanism (e.g. most credit/debit cards), then when you place the Order, the applicable amount will only be authorized, and you will be charged on the earliest of up to 5 days as of date of Order or once the Product has been dispatched to you.
If the payment method you selected does not support pre-authorization mechanism, the charge will be immediate upon placing the Order (noting however that specific payment methods may support a different timing and we may not know or be in control over such timing, if applicable. Please check your selected payment method’s terms of service for more details). Please note that you will be charged the full Order amount even if the Order will be dispatched in parts or if it is a ‘pre-order’ or similar type of order.
The Store displays the characteristics of the Products you order. There could be minor differences between the Products you eventually receive and their visual display on the Store or checkout (e.g. in relation to appearance / color / texture / finish) as all pictures and images of Product displayed are for illustrative purposes only. Where dimensions and measurements are provided in the description of each Product, the dimensions may vary slightly in real life, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the actual size of each Product is suitable for your purpose (including whether there is appropriate and safe access to your delivery address for delivery of the Product), please read the descriptions and details of the Products carefully before placing the Order. This clause does not limit or exclude consumer guarantees or warranties which cannot be excluded under applicable consumer rights legislation explicitly prevailing the governing law hereof.
2. ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CONFIRMATION
Any information contained on the Store, including the checkout page and including these Terms, serves only as an “invitation to offer”. Placing an Order represents your intention to buy, however it does not automatically secure its acceptance or guarantees the availability of any Products. A legally binding contract for the sale of the Products underlying your Order will only come into effect when you receive an email explicitly confirming your Order ("Order Confirmation").
Please note that the contract for the sale of such Products is formed in the country where the Products are shipped from, even though the delivery will be to your address The Order is subject to fraud checks and other mandated regulatory checks (such as ‘Denied Parties Screening’). You may also be required to provide additional verifications and information before, and as a condition to, the acceptance of any Order (mainly if there is suspicion that the identity, address, email address and/or payment information were used fraudulently or in an unauthorized manner).
In certain circumstances your Order may be declined or cancelled (in full or in part), whether before, or after an Order Confirmation was received. For example we may, in our sole discretion, decline or cancel (in full or in part), any Orders which did not successfully pass the above mentioned fraud and regulatory checks, any abnormal Orders, any Orders which are suspected to be placed in bad faith, Orders which were not placed by Consumers, Orders in which the payment information you provided cannot be verified, or if a Product included in the Order is unavailable.
We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion to decline or cancel an Order (in full or part) in case of actual or suspicious circumstances (related to us, you or any third party) of a good faith, genuine or honest error, mistake or misunderstanding (an “Error”) where without such Error the Order would not have been accepted or dispatched and a contract to sell the Product(s) underlying the Order would not have been agreed to or when such Error was abused by you to purchase such quantity of items which otherwise would not have been purchased or considered to be a regular order. An example could be a speciously low price for an item otherwise costing significantly more and not in the context of a ‘sale’ or special promotion. We will be under no obligation to honor an Order in such erroneous circumstances.
In each event described above where an Order was cancelled or declined, you will be refunded in accordance with these Terms (provided your payment was processed successfully).
Quantity limits (per order, per address or otherwise) may apply in relation to certain Products, and exceeding Orders could be declined at any time for that reason, without notice.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we are not required to provide a reason for declining or cancelling any Order, though we may do so in our sole discretion.
3. DUTIES AND TAXES
You may be offered to pre-pay Duties and Taxes on checkout. Not all products and not all destinations support pre-payment of Duties and Taxes, and we cannot guarantee that your Order will be eligible for such pre-payment. The Store or checkout will provide details, itemize or indicate if the price paid is inclusive or exclusive of Duties and Taxes before you complete and place the Order.
Please note that when available for pre-payment, the Duties and Taxes are calculated based on the individual Order you place. We cannot combine Duties and Taxes across separate Orders. If you have made several purchases to your delivery destinations, you may encounter additional local taxes or duties upon your arrival, which will be your responsibility, Global-e and the Brand will have no responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing. To avoid such unexpected charges, where Duties and Taxes are available for pre-payment, we recommend making a single Order for all your desired Products.
If Duties and Taxes were not paid when you placed your order, either because you so elected or because pre-payment is not available in the delivery destination (or for any other reason): (a) you are advised that the amount of Duties and Taxes displayed under the pre-payment option on the checkout is only an estimation and may not reflect the amount of Duties and Taxes actually charged to you by the broker, carrier or the relevant authority, which such amount might be higher than the estimation; and (b) you will be fully responsible for paying all applicable Duties and Taxes directly to the relevant authority as determined and assessed by such authorities. Global-e and the Brand will have no responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing. Moreover, if you fail to pay any Duties and Taxes without reasonable reason, causing the liability to fall on us, the carrier or any third party (including the Brand), the amount of such Duties and Taxes may be deducted from any refund or other amounts you may claim.
Global-e may contract with customs brokers or use fiscal representatives to act on its or your behalf for the purposes of clearing the Order into the market. We may also act as, or use our intra-group affiliates as, a ‘customs declarant’ to clear the Order into the market in our name but on your behalf. Your agreement to these Terms constitutes a consent and authorization for such customs brokers, fiscal representatives or intra-group affiliates to act on your behalf (as an agent, declarant or as otherwise applicable) to: (a) transact with the applicable authorities, (b) complete, submit and execute related documents on your behalf in connection with the import and clearance of Products, (c) facilitate payment of Duties and Taxes and customs clearance; and (d) if applicable, return such Products (subject to these Terms). You (and not Global-e or anyone on its behalf) will be fully responsible for claiming back any Duties and Taxes from the applicable authority, no matter what the process of payment was thereof, to the extent possible, in cases of a returns or any other eligible circumstances. Global-e and the Brand will have no responsibility or liability in connection with such drawback claim.

Global-e and the Brand will have no responsibility or liability in connection with such drawback claim.
If you elected not to pre-pay Duties and Taxes, or failed to pay Duties and Taxes, or refused to accept Product not in accordance with a due cancellation procedure under these Terms, in each case resulting with the Product being returned or need to be returned, then, in addition to the above, you may be liable for the return costs and charges, and may not be reimbursed or refunded for the Delivery Costs paid by you for making the delivery to you. You may also be charged with additional direct or indirect charges resulting from said failure or refusal.
4. TITLE; RISK; IMPORTER OF RECORD
The title to the Products ordered is transferred from Global-e to you prior to import, provided we are satisfied that a full payment of the Order amount was made or can be made.
Risk of damage or loss is transferred to you upon delivery to the delivery address specified in the Order (in case you have selected not to pre-pay Duties and Taxes, such location will be deemed to be the port of entrance to the import destination).
YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED AS THE ‘IMPORTER OF RECORD’ OF THE PRODUCT, AND WE (OR SOMEONE ON OUR BEHALF) WILL ONLY BE FACILITATING THE IMPORTATION ON YOUR BEHALF, AS YOUR AGENT, AND MAY, IN CERTAIN CASES, ACT AS THE ‘DECLARANT’ FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE CUSTOMS CLEARANCE (HOWEVER THIS WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR STATUS AS THE IMPORTER FOR PERSONAL USE PURPOSES).
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT THE PRODUCT CAN BE LAWFULLY IMPORTED INTO THE DESTINATION, AND YOU THEREFORE NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS AND RULES OF THE DESTINATION INTO WHICH YOU IMPORT THE PRODUCT. PLEASE NOTE THE STANDARD FOR USING THE PRODUCT IN THE IMPORT DESTINATION BEFORE ORDERING. PRODUCT ORDERED TO A DESTINATION WITH DIFFERENT STANDARDS CANNOT BE RETURNED FOR THIS REASON AND NO LIABILITY WILL BE ASSUMED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MAY ARISE FROM PURCHASING PRODUCT WITHOUT THE CORRECT STANDARDS FOR YOUR DESTINATION.
Please note that documentation such as packaging, user manuals, product care labels, handling instructions or safety warnings may not be in your language; you may not have available manufacturer’s or other service options for the Product or parts thereof; the Product (and accompanying materials) may not be designed in accordance with the standards, product regulations, specifications of the destination to which you import or labelled in accordance with the requirements applicable in your destination, or in yours or the destination’s language; if the Product is powered, it may not conform to the destination power parameters such as voltage or other electrical standards (for example you may need to use an adapter to charge your Product).
Any transaction for the purchase of Products under a tax exemption (i.e. by submitting your VAT number) will still be classified by Global-e as a personal import transaction and you hereby agree and acknowledge that items purchased by you under such exemption are purchased for your own use and not for resale.
5. FULFILMENT, HANDLING AND DELIVERY OF ORDERS
The delivery and fulfilment of your Order is carried out by various service providers, which will be selected and operated by us or by the Brand (a "Fulfillment Provider").
Some Products may not be delivered to certain locations or destinations (due to limitations imposed on the Product itself or by the destination). You will be informed of such limitation, either on the Store or checkout, and the checkout should not permit you to submit your Order if the Product cannot be delivered to your specified address. However, we reserve the right, at any time, to suspend or cancel the delivery of any Product that cannot be legally delivered as such.
Delivery will be completed when the Product is delivered to the address chosen by you as specified when placing your order (in case Duties and Taxes were not paid, that may include the port of entrance to the delivery country). Different parts of your order may be delivered on different dates.
Unless otherwise stated, and subject to applicable laws, delivery dates given on checkout (or on the Store) are estimates only. The Order will be delivered by the latest delivery time set out on checkout (based on the delivery method you selected, if such selection was available for your Order) or, if no delivery time is specified, within 30 days following the Order Confirmation date, unless exceptional circumstances exist (pre-order for example). Delivery timeframes are affected by your delivery address and the delivery method selected. Global-e is unable to specify an exact delivery date and time.
Global-e and the Brand have no liability for any loss arising from delay in delivery to the extent such delay is due to circumstances beyond reasonable control or where no reasonable steps could have been taken to deal with the delay. For example, delays resulting from customs clearance procedures, lockdowns or other actions of the authorities are outside Global-e’s or the Brand’s control, as well as any delay resulting directly from your actions or omissions.
If you receive notification of an attempted delivery, it is your responsibility to use the details provided to contact Fulfilment Provider for re-delivery. Efforts will be made to deliver your Product according to the details in the Order.
