Understanding the Policies of Bridge the World Connection
Bridge the World Connection’s policies relating to purchase protection exist to give you peace of mind when making a purchase or engaging in a transaction on/through thehealthbridges.com. Our goal is to provide you with the best experience possible. However, in case something goes wrong with your purchase or transaction on our website, we have policies in place to resolve such issues as they arise.
For the sake of this policy’s purposes, where it’s specified, an individual seller refers to a person who’s selling through their personal profile on our platform.
In order to qualify for Purchase Protection:
All decisions are made at our sole discretion.
When Your Purchases are Protected
Many purchases users make through the onsite checkout, or any other valid method of business transaction on thehealthbridges.com, are covered by our Purchase Protection policies. Look for an emblem/our sign of purchase protection to determine a listing’s eligibility for purchase protection.
Your purchases have Purchase Protection in the following situations:
When making purchases through the onsite checkout on Bridge the World Connection:
Please note that discounts do not impact whether or not a purchase qualifies for Purchase Protection.
Making purchases through other avenues at Bridge the World Connection:
The item got damaged during the shipping process.
The item is missing major parts/features that weren’t disclosed to be missing beforehand.
The item is a different edition/version of what was displayed for purchase.
The item is entirely different from what you initially ordered.
Please note that discounts do not impact a purchase’s Purchase Protection eligibility.
