Return & Refund Policy
Last updated: May 2025
Important Notice
Kinders' World is a peer-to-peer marketplace facilitating transactions between private individuals. We do not sell items ourselves and therefore do not offer returns or refunds through the Platform.
No Platform Returns or Refunds
All purchases on Kinders' World are made directly between a Buyer and a Seller, both of whom are private individuals. Kinders' World does not handle payments, does not take possession of goods, and is therefore unable to process returns or issue refunds on behalf of either party.
Legal Context – Private Sales in Germany
Transactions between private individuals in Germany are generally governed by the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB). Private sellers are not subject to the same statutory warranty obligations as commercial sellers. Buyers should:
- Carefully review item descriptions, photos, and condition details before purchasing.
- Ask the Seller any questions via the Platform's messaging feature before committing to a purchase.
- Inspect items in person before completing payment where possible (e.g. pick-up arrangements).
Disputes Between Buyers and Sellers
If an item you receive is significantly not as described, your recourse is directly with the Seller. We encourage users to:
- Contact the Seller through the Platform's chat to explain the issue.
- Attempt to reach an amicable resolution (e.g. partial refund, item return by mutual agreement).
- If fraud is suspected, report the listing to us at contact@kindersworld.com.
Kinders' World may, at its sole discretion, intervene in disputes involving suspected fraud or misrepresentation, including suspending or removing the relevant account or listing.
Safety-Related Items
For safety-critical items such as car seats and strollers, we strongly advise Buyers to inspect the item in person and verify that it has not been involved in an accident or subject to a safety recall before completing the transaction.
Free / Giveaway Items
Items listed as free giveaways are donated by Sellers at their own discretion. No warranty, implied or explicit, is provided for free items.
