Accepted returns for Verified Marketplace purchases result in non-cash StockX Credit rather than monetary refunds; the credit is non-transferable, expires twelve months after issuance, cannot be redeemed for cash, and may be forfeited if the user's account is suspended before expiration.

This provision establishes that accepted returns do not result in monetary refunds but in platform-specific credit subject to expiration, transferability restrictions, and forfeiture conditions tied to account status. Applicability depends on applicable consumer protection and refund laws by jurisdiction, which may require cash refunds in certain circumstances regardless of what the agreement states.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the twelve-month credit expiration and forfeiture-on-suspension provisions depends on applicable state and national consumer protection and gift card laws, which vary by jurisdiction.
The updated terms explicitly state that automated agents, bots, APIs, and AI-based tools accessing your account on your behalf are covered by the agreement, and you are responsible for all actions those tools take. Previously, the terms referenced electronic agents more generically. The revised language directly obligates account holders for automated activity, meaning if a buy-for-me agent, API, or bot violates platform rules through your account, you bear liability for that violation. The updated terms also remove country-specific overrides that previously applied in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, meaning the main terms now apply uniformly across those jurisdictions without regional exemptions.
