E. DELIVERY

- Timeframe: Delivery is completed within a maximum of 14 days from payment confirmation. An email is sent when the item is ready to collect on Steam.
- Cost: Delivery is provided free of charge on all orders.
- Confirmation: Delivery is complete upon the buyer’s acceptance of the Steam trade offer, logged automatically with a timestamp and trade reference ID.
- Buyer obligations: The buyer’s Steam account must be active and capable of receiving trade offers at the time of purchase. The Company is not liable for delivery failures caused by trade holds, privacy settings, or other restrictions on the buyer’s account.
- Non-delivery: Where delivery remains unconfirmed after 14 days through no fault of the buyer, the buyer may raise a dispute and is eligible for a full refund upon investigation.
F. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Buyer Cancellation
Orders may only be cancelled before the trade offer has been dispatched. Once sent, cancellation is not possible. Buyers wishing to cancel prior to dispatch should contact info@newswop.org without delay.
Company Cancellation
The Company may cancel an order before delivery where the item is unavailable, a compliance concern is identified, or the buyer is found to be ineligible. A full refund will be issued in every such case.
Non-Delivery
Where the Company fails to deliver within 14 days for reasons within its control, the buyer receives a full refund. The Company’s liability is capped at the value of the undelivered order.

Where payment fails or is reversed, the order is cancelled immediately. Suspected chargeback abuse or fraudulent non-payment may result in account suspension.
Refunds
