- (i) directly by TypeB (OriginDrop), or
- (ii) by third-party suppliers.
- When TypeB acts as the supplier, you are purchasing products directly from TypeB.
- When products are provided by third-party suppliers, TypeB acts solely as an intermediary platform facilitating the transaction.

- Subscription Fees
- Credits and Balances
6.1 General
- The Services may provide Paid Credit, Event Credit, and Balance. Each is recorded and managed separately and is subject to the conditions set out below.
- Paid Credit, Event Credit, and Balance may not be transferred, assigned, sold, or exchanged between users.
- Refunds are subject to identity, payment, remittance, account ownership, and transaction verification. We may request information or documentation reasonably necessary to complete such verification.
- Nothing in this Section limits any refund, cancellation, withdrawal, or other consumer right that cannot be excluded or restricted under applicable law.
6.2 Paid Credit
- “Paid Credit” means credit purchased by a user through a payment method supported by the Services. Paid Credit may be used only for eligible features, fees, or services made available by OriginDrop.
- Paid Credit may not be transferred, assigned, sold, exchanged, or converted into cash between users.
- Only unused Paid Credit is eligible for a refund. Paid Credit that has already been deducted, consumed, or applied to the use of a feature or Service is non-refundable.
- You may request a refund of eligible unused Paid Credit at any time while actively using the Services.
- Following the cancellation of your subscription plan or termination of your User Account, a refund request for eligible unused Paid Credit must be submitted within three (3) months from the effective date of such cancellation or termination. Requests submitted after this period may be rejected, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
- The refund amount will be calculated based on the actual amount paid by you that is attributable to the remaining unused Paid Credit, rather than the nominal or displayed amount of the Credit. Any discount, bonus, promotional amount, or other benefit applied at the time of purchase may be reflected in this calculation.
- Refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method used to purchase the Paid Credit. Where a refund to the original payment method is not reasonably possible, we may require an alternative verified refund method.
- Actual and non-recoverable fees charged by payment processors or financial institutions in connection with processing the refund may be deducted from the refund amount, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Such processing fees will not be deducted where the refund results from a duplicate payment, failure to issue the purchased Paid Credit, discontinuation of the relevant Service by OriginDrop, or any other circumstance in which applicable law requires a full refund.
- Paid Credit is recorded and administered separately from Event Credit. The granting, expiration, or recovery of Event Credit does not increase or decrease the amount actually paid for Paid Credit.
6.3 Event Credit
- “Event Credit” means promotional, reward, bonus, complimentary, or other credit provided without a separate payment by the user.
- Event Credit may not be transferred, assigned, sold, or exchanged between users.
- Event Credit has no cash value and may not be refunded, withdrawn, exchanged, or converted into cash or Balance.
- Any remaining Event Credit will expire automatically upon termination of the User Account.
- We may cancel, recover, or deduct Event Credit that was issued or obtained through fraud, abuse, error, misuse, violation of these Terms, or any other improper method.
- Where an expiration date or validity period was disclosed when Event Credit was issued, any unused Event Credit may expire at the end of that period.
- When both Event Credit and Paid Credit may be used for the same eligible feature or Service, Event Credit will be deducted before Paid Credit, unless otherwise expressly stated at the time of use.
6.4 Balance
- “Balance” means funds received and recorded in your OriginDrop account for use in connection with product sourcing, supplier payments, shipping, fulfillment, or other eligible transactions offered through the Services.
- Balance may not be transferred, assigned, or sold between users.
- Only Balance that remains available, unused, and not subject to any restriction or pending transaction is eligible for a refund.
- Any amount reserved or held for an order that is pending, processing, or otherwise in progress is not eligible for a refund while the reservation or hold remains in effect. If the reservation is subsequently released without payment or commitment to a third party, the released amount may become eligible for a refund.
- Any Balance that has already been paid, transferred, or irrevocably committed to a supplier, shipping provider, payment provider, fulfillment partner, or other third party is non-refundable, except where otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable third party returns the amount to OriginDrop.
- You may request a refund of eligible Balance at any time while actively using the Services.
- Following the cancellation of your subscription plan or termination of your User Account, a refund request for eligible Balance must be submitted within three (3) months from the effective date of such cancellation or termination. Requests submitted after this period may be rejected, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
- A Balance refund will generally be made to the original remitter or to a verified bank or payment account held in the same legal name as the original remitter. For a business remitter, the refund account may be required to be held in the same registered business name.
- We may refuse to send a refund to an unrelated third party or to an account for which ownership cannot be reasonably verified.
- Actual fees charged in connection with the refund by Wise, the receiving or sending bank, an intermediary or correspondent bank, a payment provider, or another financial institution may be deducted from the refund amount, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- We may temporarily withhold or delay a Balance refund where the relevant funds or transaction are subject to a transfer cancellation, reversal, chargeback, payment dispute, fraud review, sanctions screening, identity verification, account ownership verification, or another pending investigation.
- Where you owe any overdue amount to OriginDrop or your account has a negative Balance, we may deduct or set off that amount against any Balance otherwise refundable to you, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- A refund of Balance does not cancel an order or payment already submitted to or accepted by a supplier or shipping provider. Order cancellation and order-related refunds remain subject to the applicable order and supplier policies.
- Taxes and Fees
- Prices may not include applicable taxes such as sales tax, VAT, customs duties, or import fees.
- You are solely responsible for all such taxes and charges.
- We may collect or withhold taxes where required by law.
- Payment Methods
- You must use a valid payment method that you are authorized to use.
- We may change or restrict available payment methods at our discretion.
- Chargebacks and Disputes
- You agree not to initiate chargebacks without first contacting us, unless contacting us beforehand is not required under applicable law or the applicable payment provider’s rules.
- Improper chargebacks may result in account suspension or termination.
- We reserve the right to recover any resulting losses, fees, or negative Balance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Any amount subject to a pending chargeback, reversal, or payment dispute may be temporarily restricted and excluded from the refundable Balance until the matter is resolved.
