PURCHASES

CURRENCY

All fees are listed in US dollars, unless otherwise stated. We are not responsible for currency exchange rates, except as described below. If you are an international buyer, you may have the option to buy items in your local currency or US dollars. If you opt to pay in your local currency:

• We’ll automatically display your order total in your local currency on the checkout page. Your order total includes the foreign exchange rate as well as any applicable fees or costs.
• If you return a purchase that was purchased in your local currency, you will receive ZapasUniverse Credit in the amount you paid in your local currency converted to USD.
• Offers can only be made in USD at this time. We may display approximate conversions to help you make the best offer.
• Selling is only available in USD at the time.
• Some payment methods may not be supported.

Because foreign exchange rates fluctuate, the price you see for an item in your local currency on one day may be different from the price for that same item on another day. The foreign exchange rates we apply are updated daily. ZapasUniverse takes no responsibility for the accuracy of any foreign exchange rate applied to your purchase or return.

RISK OF LOSS

The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you passes to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier. Replacement of products and credits to your account for shipped items claimed as not received are subject to our investigation, and we may require you to sign and return an affidavit before looking into your claim. We will replace products and credit your account at our discretion.

PRICING, AVAILABILITY AND SALES TAXES AND DUTIES

All prices are subject to change without notice at any time. Available inventory is subject to change without notice at any time. As a result, if your order is canceled for any reason, you may not be able to purchase the same item you originally ordered, and if the same item is available, it may not be available at the same price of your original purchase.

We will collect sales or use tax (collectively “Sales Tax”) and Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) on purchases of taxable items from buyers located in certain jurisdictions where we have determined that we have a legal obligation to collect taxes for such purchases. In these jurisdictions, we will remit the tax collected from buyers to the appropriate taxing authority. In jurisdictions where we do not collect taxes, applicable tax laws may require sellers or buyers to collect, remit, or pay taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.

Sales Tax and VAT will apply based on a buyer’s shipping address rather than a buyer’s billing address. These taxes will apply to all purchases of taxable items for applicable jurisdictions, even for current offers that are completed at a later time.

Applicable tax rates may vary by jurisdiction. For Sales Tax purposes, some states may include shipping fees in the calculation of Sales Tax while other states may exclude shipping fees.

AUSTRALIA

We are required to collect and remit a 10% Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) on certain orders that are shipped to an address located in Australia where the total value of the order (including shipping costs) is less than or equal to AU$1,000. Goods valued less than or equal to AU$1,000 are not subject to import duties.

If an order is shipped to an address located in Australia and the total value of the order (including shipping costs) is greater than AU$1,000, VAT and duties may be collected at the Australian border.

CHINA

If you enter your People’s Republic of China ID number at checkout then you will be charged a cross-border e-commerce tax in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This tax is meant to represent all applicable customs duties and taxes and no additional charges should be incurred upon delivery. If you do not enter this information at checkout, you will be responsible for any applicable customs duties and/or taxes charged by the carrier upon delivery. If you believe you have inadvertently been charged this tax, please reach out to support.cn@s904852603.mialojamiento.es.

EUROPEAN UNION

If an order is shipped to an address located in the European Union, we are required to collect and remit a Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) on all orders. VAT rate is based on the destination country. The basis for calculating the VAT includes the item price, the insurance cost (if any), shipping costs and duties (if any).

In addition, if the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is greater than €150, ZapasUniverse is also required to collect and remit duties, in addition to VAT.

NEW ZEALAND

We are required to collect and remit a 15% GST on certain orders that are shipped to an address located in New Zealand and the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is less than or equal to NZ$1,000. Goods valued less than or equal to NZ$1,000 are not subject to import duties.

If an order is shipped to an address located in Australia and the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is greater than NZ$1,000, VAT and duties may be collected at the New Zealand border.

SAUDI ARABIA

We currently ship DDU (delivered duties unpaid) to Saudi Arabia, so if you place an order for delivery in Saudi Arabia, you will be responsible for paying applicable Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) and duty charges upon delivery along with any other applicable fees.

To provide you with additional information on such VAT and duty charges, your order confirmation email will show you the estimated VAT and duty charges for your order that you may be responsible for upon delivery. These estimated VAT and duty charges are based on the VAT and duty rates set by Saudi Arabia, but note that these are just estimated amounts and the final amounts may vary (for example, Saudi Arabia’s customs regulations and VAT and duty rates may change between the date the VAT and duty charges for your order are estimated and the date your order is imported into Saudi Arabia).

We currently estimate VAT and duty charges as follows:

VAT = VAT Rate x [Item Price + Insurance Cost (if any) + Shipping Costs + Duty (if any) + Other Applicable Taxes (if any)]

Duty = Duty Rate x [Item Price + Insurance Cost (if any) + Shipping Costs]

Our estimates of VAT and duty charges are based on the following facts and assumptions, which may change in the future:

• There will be no duty charge if the sum of the Item Price + Insurance Cost (if any) + Shipping Costs is less than 1000 SAR.
• The VAT Rate is 15%.
• The Duty Rate is 10%.
• Shipping Costs are $40 USD.
• There are no Insurance Costs or Other Applicable Taxes.
• You may also encounter a shipment disbursement fee. If the Item Price + Insurance Cost (if any) + Shipping Costs is less than 1000 SAR, this shipment disbursement fee will be 15 SAR. If the Item Price + Insurance Cost (if any) + Shipping Costs is 1000 SAR or more, this shipment disbursement fee will be equal to the greater of 100 SAR or 2% of the duties and taxes for the shipment.

NORWAY

If an order is shipped to an address located in Norway and the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is less than or equal to NOK 3,000, we are required to collect and remit a 25% Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) on such order. The basis for calculating the 25% VAT includes the item price, the insurance cost (if any), the cost of packaging, and shipping costs.

If an order is shipped to an address located in Norway and the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is greater than NOK 3,000, VAT and duties may be collected at the Norway border.

UNITED KINGDOM

If an order is shipped to an address located in the United Kingdom, we are required to collect and remit a 20% Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) on all orders. The basis for calculating the 20% VAT includes the item price, the insurance cost (if any), shipping costs and duties (if any).

If the total value of the order (not including shipping costs) is greater than £135, ZapasUniverse is required to collect and remit duties, in addition to VAT.

NON-US BUYERS

We will declare the price that was paid for customs purposes. Unless otherwise indicated above, buyers are responsible for the applicable customs duties and taxes that are billed by their respective countries of residence.

PAYMENT METHODS

We accept several methods of payment. If you purchase items in the United States, we accept American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard and Visa. Alternate methods of payment include Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Affirm (US only), Afterpay (US only), giropay (Germany only), and Alipay.

SHIPPING, CONTACT, BILLING AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

Please review your shipping, contact, billing and payment information for accuracy before submitting an order. Billing information must match the billing information you have on file with the issuing bank.

Please note that ZapasUniverse is unable to change a shipping address once the order has been placed. For sneakers, you may be able to cancel your order (within 3 hours of placing it and/or before it is confirmed by the seller, whichever comes first), and place the order again with the correct shipping address.

Instant Items with Standard Shipping

Items that are labeled “Instant” have already been authenticated and verified and ship directly from our facilities to you.

It will typically take 4-8 business days for an apparel or accessory item order to be delivered to a buyer located in the contiguous US (excluding PO boxes and military bases).

For international orders, delivery times vary due to customs. For items with a delivery address in the People’s Republic of China, import duties will be included at checkout for buyers who enter their national identification number and the items will be delivered duty paid (i.e., no additional duties should be required to be paid upon delivery). See “What international shipping models does ZapasUniverse user?” for more information.

Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed, as shipments may be affected by weather-related delays or events outside of our control.

Item undeliverable

If your order is returned to us as undeliverable, your item(s) will be placed into ZapasUniverse Storage under your account. Please see “ZapasUniverse Storage” below for information on how to retrieve items from ZapasUniverse Storage.

ORDER REVIEW

All orders are subject to fraud review which may result in a delay in processing. We may also require additional information in order to verify your purchase. Until you receive final confirmation of your purchase, please check your email and respond to any requests for verification. While your order is being reviewed, your account may be placed on hold until the review is completed.

ORDER CANCELLATION

We reserve the right to cancel orders at our sole discretion.

For sneakers, you may cancel your order within 3 hours of placing it or before it is confirmed by the seller – whichever comes first. If 3 hours have passed from when you placed the order and/or the seller has confirmed the order, then the order cannot be canceled. If neither has occurred, simply tap the Cancel button on the Orders screen.

For apparel and accessories that have been pre-verified and authenticated and ship directly from our trusted retail and boutique partners, all orders are auto-confirmed and cannot be canceled. For other apparel and accessories, you may cancel your order within 3 hours of placing it or before it is confirmed by the seller – whichever comes first – as described in the previous paragraph. Your order confirmation message in the ZapasUniverse app will let you know whether your order can be canceled.

You may not cancel an offer after the offer has been accepted by a seller.

If your order is canceled before you have been charged, you may see a pending authorization on your card that will ultimately disappear from your account in a few days. You will not be charged for the order.

If your order is canceled after you have already been charged for the order, we will refund you the amount you paid for the item(s) onto your original payment method. Please allow your financial institution 3-5 business days (Monday – Friday excluding holidays) to fully process the refund.

Zapas Universe CLEAN

All items listed here and in the ZapasUniverse Clean section of the used section of a given item are part of the ZapasUniverse Clean collection. Each item listed has been professionally cleaned, graded and photographed to provide full transparency on the condition of the item.

To provide buyers comfort around the quality of items being purchased, we developed a proprietary grading system for ZapasUniverse Clean items. Once an item goes through the ZapasUniverse Clean process, we assess the condition of the item inside and out. We score each part of the item and ultimately assign a grade that communicates the overall condition of such item.

• Like New: Minimal to no signs of wear.
• Excellent: Slight wear on tread with minimal creasing.
• Very Good: Gentle wear with some creasing, scratches, and/or slight discoloration.
• Good: Moderate wear with visible creasing, scuffing, and/or discoloration.

We believe in providing complete transparency – that what you see in photos, is what you get. This is why we offer returns on all ZapasUniverse Clean purchases. You have 3 days to request a return from the date you receive your ZapasUniverse Clean purchases. Once we process your return, we will refund you for the amount you paid, less the shipping costs to and from you. This refund will be issued in the form of ZapasUniverse credit to use on future purchases.
