9. Vendor-Specific Policies
Some vendors on Delivo may have their own return and refund policies. These policies will be clearly displayed on the vendor's page and at checkout. In case of conflicts, the vendor's policy will generally take precedence unless it violates Delivo's minimum standards for customer protection.

In certain situations (e.g., large orders, special events, or during promotional periods), exceptions to this policy may be made at Delivo's discretion. Please contact our customer support team for assistance with special circumstances.
12. Dispute Resolution
If you disagree with a return or refund decision, you may appeal by contacting our customer support team. We will review your case and make a final determination based on the evidence provided and our platform policies.
13. Product Warranties
For non-food items that come with a manufacturer's warranty, the warranty terms will apply in addition to this Return and Refund Policy. Customers should contact the manufacturer directly for warranty claims after the Delivo return period has expired.
