If the preferred seller fails to provide a Local Address for the returned item or otherwise fails to accept delivery of the returned item within a reasonable time (as determined by Best Buy), Best Buy reserves the right to dispose of such item in any way it deems appropriate, and the preferred seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to the item. If the preferred seller does not receive the returned item, the preferred seller must notify Best Buy within seven (7) days of receiving the Email Notification (the “Notification Period”). Failure to notify Best Buy within the Notification Period will be conclusive evidence and result in the preferred seller accepting that the item has been delivered, and the preferred seller agrees not to bring any claim or dispute regarding any such item. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Best Buy may, at its sole discretion, decide not to return items for which a refund or return has been approved, and the preferred seller shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights to the item.
For any refund or return received by Best Buy but rejected by Best Buy, Best Buy will organize delivery of the item to the relevant buyer's address in accordance with Section 2 above.
