KiiBank's Seller Protection program

Last Updated: December 1, 2021

What’s Eligible

If you sell a good or service to a buyer, you may be eligible for KiiBank’s Seller Protection program, which terms and conditions are set forth herein and form part of the user agreement. When it applies, KiiBank’s Seller Protection program entitles you to retain the full purchase amount. KiiBank determines, in its sole discretion, whether your claim is eligible for KiiBank’s Seller Protection program based on the eligibility requirements, any information or documentation provided during the resolution process, or any other information KiiBank deems relevant and appropriate under the circumstances.

There is no limit on the number of payments eligible for KiiBank’s Seller Protection program. By accessing the Transaction Details page in your KiiBank account you can identify transactions that may be eligible for protection under this program.

KiiBank’s Seller Protection program may apply when a buyer claims that:

They did not authorise, or benefit from, funds sent from their KiiBank account (referred to as an "Unauthorised Transaction" and the Unauthorised Transaction occurs in an environment hosted by KiiBank; or

They did not receive the item from you (referred to as an "Item Not Received" claim).

Basic Requirements

To be eligible for KiiBank's Seller Protection program, all of the following basic requirements must be met, as well as any applicable additional requirements:

You provide us with valid proof of shipment or proof of delivery.

In the case of an Unauthorised Transaction claim, you must provide valid proof of shipment or proof of delivery that demonstrates that the item was shipped or provided to the buyer no later than two days after KiiBank notified you of the dispute or reversal. For example, if KiiBank notifies you of an Unauthorised Transaction claim on September 1, the valid proof of shipment must indicate that the item was shipped to the buyer no later than September 3 to be eligible for KiiBank’s Seller Protection program.

The item must be a tangible item except for items subject to the Intangible Goods Additional Requirements.

You must ship the item to the shipping address on the transaction details page in your KiiBank account for the transaction. If you originally ship the item to the recipient's shipping address on the transaction details page but the item is later redirected to a different address, you will not be eligible for KiiBank's Seller Protection. We therefore recommend not using a shipping service that is arranged by the buyer, so that you will be able to provide valid proof of shipping and delivery.

You must respond to KiiBank's requests for documentation and other information in a timely manner as requested in our email correspondence with you. If you do not respond to KiiBank's request for documentation and other information in the time requested, you may not be eligible for KiiBank's Seller Protection.

If the sale involves pre-ordered or made-to-order goods, you must ship within the timeframe you specified in the listing. Otherwise, it is recommended that you ship all items within 7 days after receipt of payment.

You must accept payment from a KiiBank account for the purchase (partial payment and/or payment in installments are excluded).

The payment must be marked “eligible” or “partially eligible” in the case of Unauthorised Transaction claims, or “eligible” in the case of Item Not Received claims, for KiiBank's Seller Protection on the Transaction Details page.

Item Not Received Additional Requirements

To be eligible for KiiBank's Seller Protection program for a buyer's Item Not Received claim, you must meet both the basic requirements and the additional requirements listed below:

Intangible Goods Additional Requirements

For the sale of intangible goods and services to be eligible for KiiBank’s Seller Protection, the sale must meet the basic requirements and the following additional requirements:

Integration requirements:

Other integration requirements may apply depending on your business model. We will let you know those requirements ahead of time, if needed.
