Purchases

Alma Mater is an online marketplace used to facilitate the sale and purchase of various products. On our website, Suppliers can list their goods for sale and you can browse, select, order and purchase goods that are displayed on this website. Any order placed through Alma Mater is an agreement by you to the Supplier to purchase a particular Good or Goods in accordance with these Terms.

When the Supplier receives your order, then an agreement is formed between you and the Supplier for that particular Good or Goods. We will notify you via email that the Supplier has fulfilled your order. Further, the Suppliers reserve the right to accept or reject an order you make using our Website for any reason.

Since we only serve as an agent between you and the Supplier we are not part of any agreement between you and the Supplier.

Repairs, refunds and replacements.

If the Goods are damaged or not of acceptable quality, please contact support@almamateru.com for assistance with a return or refund. Alma Mater will work with the Supplier on a resolution on your behalf.

Unfortunately, we and our Sellers are unable to provide a refund for the following products: personalized items, perfumes, body, hand, arms or leg cream, made-to-order furniture, undergarments, earrings for pierced ears and makeup items that have been used or opened.

All items must be returned within 30 days from the date you receive the Goods and must be shipped by the original purchaser. Further, all items must be returned to the Supplier in their original packaging complete with any accessories. If the aforementioned conditions are not met, the Supplier reserves the right to deny a return.

Product Care

If you have damaged the Goods yourself, or you have failed to take proper care of the Goods, the Supplier may not be able to provide you with a repair, refund or replacement. Please reach out to support@almamateru.com for assistance or questions.

Exchange

Exchanges for undamaged Goods must be initiated by contacting support@almamateru.com. Shipping costs for exchanges come at the cost of the Buyer.

Shipping Information

While all effort is made to ensure that Goods purchased from our Website will be processed by the Supplier within 2 – 7 business days of receiving your order, we or the Supplier cannot guarantee processing times. Our Suppliers generally use third party delivery companies to delivery your order. By placing an order for Goods you agree that your details, such as name, contact numbers, delivery address, will be passed to those third parties.

When the Suppliers fulfill your order, they will provide you with a tracking number so that you can track the delivery of your order. Further, you agree that notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we or our Suppliers are not liable with respect to any loss, damage, cost or expense you or any third party suffers as a result of a change in delivery times or delay in delivery.

If you ask for the Good to be left at a delivery address, we or our Sellers are not responsible for loss, damage or theft of Goods once the Goods are delivered to that address. Some people may also prefer to have their Goods shipped to a business address as an additional precaution. Further, if you require Goods that you have ordered to be redirected to an address other than your original order address, our Suppliers may charge you a reasonable fee for doing this.
