Last Updated: 01/31/25

Welcome to SoleSwap! By using our platform, you agree to the following Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. INTRODUCTION

SoleSwap is a marketplace that acts solely as an intermediary connecting customers with trusted restorers for restoration services. SoleSwap does not provide restoration services itself and is not responsible for the quality, completion, or outcome of any restoration.

2. USER AGREEMENT

2.1 CUSTOMER AGREEMENT

  • Customers must pay the full cost of the restoration service upfront before any work begins.
  • Customers are responsible for shipping costs to the restorer and must ship their product within 1-2 business days after purchasing a service to avoid delays.
  • Restoration timelines are estimates and depend on various factors, including:
    • Location of customer and restorer
    • Shipping speed to and from the restorer
    • Restorer's workload and service capabilities
  • Customers understand that restoration quality is subjective and should be compared to the restorer's previous work.
  • SoleSwap is not liable for any delays caused by shipping carriers, restorer workload, or unforeseen circumstances.
  • Once the service has been purchased, refunds or cancellations are not permitted.

2.2 RESTORER AGREEMENT

  • Restorers must complete the restoration within the agreed-upon timeframe based on their service listing.
  • Restorers may deactivate listings at any time to prevent overbooking and service delays.
  • Restorers are responsible for shipping the restored product back to the customer and may adjust their service pricing to include return shipping costs.
  • Restorers must provide an accurate description of their services and ensure the final product aligns with the quality of their previous work.
  • SoleSwap is not responsible for any disputes between the restorer and the customer. However, we encourage both parties to communicate and resolve any issues directly.
