Please consider the following operational risks: 1. **Arabic Translation:** Under UAE Law, terms and conditions presented to consumers must be understandable. While English is widely used, ensuring an **Arabic translation** is available (or at least a prominent notice stating one is available) protects you during consumer disputes. 2. **Dropshipping Logistics:** Since this is a dropshipping setup, sending returns to the **Sharjah Warehouse** implies you are consolidating stock locally or have a local logistics partner. Ensure your supply chain can handle physical incoming returns to Sharjah. If you rely purely on overseas suppliers to accept returns directly, this policy creates a compliance gap, as the consumer legally expects to deal with the registered entity (Tazah Global LLC). 3. **"Sale Items" Clause:** Note that while merchants can set policies against returning sale items, if a sale item is **defective**, the consumer retains the legal right to a remedy regardless of the discount. Section 6 covers this exception. 4. **Inspection Period:** Ensure your team actually inspects items within the promised timeframe. Failure to process refunds within 5-7 days after inspection is a violation of the Executive Regulations and can lead to fines from the Ministry of Economy.
