Buying and selling services

Why do I need to send my KYC (Know Your Customer) ID?

Sending a valid ID is a normal step to verify your identity and make sure you are of legal age.

We also need to make sure that the natural or legal person really exists.

The KYC process is required for reasons of security and regulatory compliance in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. Regulation (EU) 2015/847 & Directive (EU) 2015/849

Why do I have to wait 24 hours for my KYC to be validated?

We use a payment service provider, Stripe, which ensures that your ID is valid and genuine. This usually takes a few minutes, but Stripe may carry out extensive checks.

Entering your bank details allows you to receive your money if you sell bottles on LQDX.

Which company delivers the bottles?

UPS Worldwide.

What do I do if I don't receive the bottle?

If the buyer does not receive the order within a reasonable period of time due to the seller's failure to ship within 48 hours, the buyer may cancel the order in writing directly to the seller. LQDX will refund the buyer the price of the products and delivery charges paid, less its commission.

Can I return a bottle if it doesn't conform?

Upon receipt of the order, the buyer has 24 hours to inform the seller of any complaints regarding the Products. The transaction will then be suspended until the complaint has been resolved, with LQDX retaining the order price in the escrow account.
