YELLOWMAN RETURN POLICY
Effective Date: 21 September 2026
Last Updated: 21 September 2026
This Return Policy explains when customers may return products purchased through the Yellowman marketplace, the conditions that apply to returns, how to initiate a return, and what happens after a returned product is received.
Yellowman Nigeria Limited ("Yellowman", "we", "us" or "our") operates a multi-vendor ecommerce marketplace. Products may be supplied by independent Vendors. This Policy therefore establishes the marketplace return framework while recognising that Vendors remain responsible for their products and fulfilment obligations, subject to applicable Nigerian law.
This Policy forms part of Yellowman's Terms and Conditions and should be read together with the Refund Policy, applicable product/Vendor return terms, Privacy Policy and any other policies displayed on the Platform.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to remove, restrict or waive any consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded under Nigerian law.
Yellowman is committed to making product returns fair, transparent and reasonably convenient for customers.
Where a customer has a lawful right to return a product, Yellowman will facilitate the applicable return process. Where a return is offered as a commercial policy in addition to statutory rights, the applicable product or Vendor terms will be disclosed to the customer.
A product may generally be returned where:
Unless a different period is expressly stated on the product page, Vendor policy or applicable law, customers should request a return as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the product.
For ordinary change-of-mind returns that are offered as a commercial policy, the applicable product/Vendor return window will apply.
For defective, unsafe, misrepresented or otherwise non-conforming products, the applicable statutory rights are not limited merely because a commercial return window has expired.
A product should generally be returned in the condition reasonably required for the applicable return or remedy.
Where applicable, the returned product should include:
Customers may reasonably inspect products to determine whether they are suitable. Reasonable inspection does not by itself invalidate a lawful return.
If a customer receives a product that is materially different from the product ordered, the customer should report the issue through Yellowman's support process as soon as reasonably practicable.
Yellowman may arrange collection or provide return instructions and may facilitate a replacement or refund, depending on availability and the applicable remedy.
If a product arrives materially damaged, the customer should, where reasonably possible:
Where the damage occurred before delivery or during fulfilment, Yellowman will work with the Vendor or logistics provider to determine the appropriate remedy.
Customers may request a return where a product is defective, unsafe or otherwise fails to conform to applicable requirements.
Depending on the circumstances, the remedy may include repair, replacement, refund, price adjustment or another remedy required or permitted by law.
A Vendor must not require a customer to accept a defective or unsafe product merely because the Vendor's ordinary return window has expired where the customer has a continuing statutory remedy.
A customer may request to return a product simply because it is no longer wanted or the customer has changed their mind where the applicable Vendor/product return policy allows such a return.
Change-of-mind returns may be subject to reasonable conditions, including a specified return period, product condition, original packaging and return delivery arrangements.
A change-of-mind return policy is a commercial facility and does not replace or restrict mandatory statutory rights.
Certain products may reasonably be excluded or restricted from change-of-mind returns because of their nature, including:
These restrictions do not apply to the extent that they would unlawfully remove a customer's rights concerning defective, unsafe, misrepresented or non-conforming products.
Customers should initiate a return through the Yellowman order-support or customer-service channel.
A return request should normally include:
Yellowman may request additional information where reasonably necessary to determine whether the return is valid and which remedy applies.
Where a return request requires approval, Yellowman or the relevant Vendor will review the information provided.
A return may be approved, conditionally approved, declined where lawful, or referred for further investigation.
Where a return is declined, Yellowman may provide the reason where reasonably appropriate.
Depending on the product, Vendor and delivery location, Yellowman may:
Return logistics may vary by Vendor, product type, location and reason for return.
Where the return is required because Yellowman or a Vendor supplied the wrong product, a materially defective product, an unsafe product, a materially damaged product or a product that materially differs from its description, Yellowman will seek to provide an appropriate return arrangement and will not knowingly impose an unreasonable return burden on the customer.
For change-of-mind returns offered as a commercial policy, the applicable product or Vendor return terms may determine who bears return delivery costs.
Where Nigerian law requires the seller or another party to bear return-related costs, those legal requirements will prevail.
A single Yellowman checkout may contain products supplied by different Vendors.
Each product may have its own return process because:
Returning one product does not automatically cancel or return other products in the same order.
Customers may generally return only the affected product or products where the return right applies to part of an order.
Where a promotional offer, bundle or discount was dependent on purchasing multiple products, the return may affect the applicable promotional benefit in accordance with the disclosed promotion terms and applicable law.
Returned products may be inspected by Yellowman, the relevant Vendor, manufacturer, courier or authorised service provider to determine the condition of the product and the appropriate remedy.
Inspection may include checking:
Where a product is covered by a manufacturer or Vendor warranty, the customer may be directed to the applicable warranty process where appropriate.
A warranty process does not remove any statutory consumer rights that apply to the transaction.
Where a return results in a refund, the refund will be processed in accordance with Yellowman's Refund Policy.
The customer should not assume that submitting a return request automatically creates an immediate refund. The product may need to be returned, received and assessed before the applicable refund is approved, unless the circumstances or applicable law require otherwise.
Where appropriate and available, Yellowman or the Vendor may offer a replacement instead of a refund.
The replacement should materially correspond with the original order unless the customer agrees to an alternative.
If a suitable replacement is unavailable, the customer may receive another lawful remedy, including a refund where applicable.
Where a purchased product included a free gift or promotional item and the transaction is returned in circumstances that require the promotional benefit to be reversed, the free gift may also need to be returned, subject to the applicable promotion terms and law.
Yellowman will not use promotional terms to defeat a mandatory consumer right.
Where a customer has materially damaged, altered or misused a product after delivery, the customer's return or remedy may be affected to the extent permitted by law.
Normal inspection and reasonable handling of a product to determine its suitability do not automatically constitute misuse.
Digital products, software, licences, subscriptions and electronically delivered services may be subject to product-specific return conditions.
Where access, download, activation or use has commenced, return eligibility may depend on the applicable product terms and Nigerian law.
Nothing in this section removes a remedy where a digital product or service is defective, materially misrepresented, not supplied as agreed or otherwise gives rise to a mandatory legal remedy.
Where a product was purchased as a gift, return eligibility remains subject to the applicable product/Vendor policy and Nigerian law.
Any resulting refund will normally be processed against the original transaction and payment method unless another lawful arrangement is agreed.
Yellowman may investigate return requests where there is reasonable evidence of fraud, abuse or intentional misuse of the return process.
Examples may include:
Any action taken will be subject to applicable law and legitimate consumer rights.
Vendors on Yellowman are responsible for:
Yellowman may facilitate returns, communicate with Vendors, coordinate logistics, review evidence, process or facilitate refunds and take marketplace action where appropriate.
Because Yellowman is a marketplace, Yellowman may not physically possess the product being returned. A Vendor, manufacturer, courier or other authorised service provider may receive or inspect the returned product.
Yellowman's marketplace role does not remove any legal responsibility of the Vendor or any statutory rights of the customer.
If a customer disagrees with a return decision, the customer may request that Yellowman review the matter by providing relevant evidence and explaining the basis of the dispute.
Yellowman may request additional evidence from the customer, Vendor, courier, payment provider or other relevant party.
Nothing in this internal review process prevents a customer from exercising any statutory right to seek redress before a competent regulatory body, tribunal or court.
