Dispute Resolution Policy
Effective: April 26, 2026 · Version 1.0
This Dispute Resolution Policy ("Policy") sets out the process by which Passpost AS handles disputes between Senders and Carriers arising from Tasks on the Passpost Platform. This Policy supplements the Passpost Terms of Service.
Time limit
Disputes must be filed within 48 hours of the scheduled or actual delivery time. Disputes filed outside this window will not be accepted except in exceptional circumstances at Passpost's sole discretion.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to all disputes arising from Tasks completed or attempted on the Passpost Platform, including:
- Non-delivery or delayed delivery of items;
- Damage to items during transit;
- Loss or theft of items;
- Incorrect items delivered;
- Disputes over Handover Code confirmation;
- Carrier or Sender misconduct during a Task.
2. Types of Disputes
2.1 Non-Delivery
When a Sender or recipient reports an item was not delivered despite the Carrier claiming completion, or when no delivery attempt was made.
2.2 Item Damage
When an item arrives in a condition materially worse than documented at pickup, evidenced by the photo trail.
2.3 Lost Item
When a Carrier cannot account for an item that was confirmed as picked up via Handover Code but never delivered.
2.4 Misconduct
Unprofessional, abusive, or dishonest behaviour by either party during the course of a Task.
3. How to File a Dispute
Within 48 hours of the scheduled delivery time:
- Open the relevant Task in the Passpost app;
- Tap "Report an Issue" and select the dispute category;
- Provide a clear written description of the issue;
- Enter your unique Share Code from the Task details screen;
- Upload supporting evidence (photos, screenshots, messages);
- Submit — you'll receive a confirmation reference number.
Both parties will be notified and given 24 hours to submit their account and supporting evidence.
4. Evidence & Documentation
- Photo Trail — primary evidence of item condition;
- Handover Code Records — pickup and delivery confirmation logs;
- Task Records — agreed route, timing, item description, declared value;
- In-app Transaction Logs — timestamps and Task activity records;
- User-submitted Evidence — photos, screenshots, written statements.
Evidence submitted outside the Platform may be considered at Passpost's discretion but cannot be independently verified.
5. The Review Process
5.1 Acknowledgement
Passpost acknowledges your dispute within 4 business hours and assigns it to a moderator.
5.2 Investigation
The moderation team reviews all evidence and may request additional information. Failure to respond within 24 hours may result in a determination on available evidence.
5.3 Determination
Determinations are issued within 5 business days (up to 10 for complex cross-border or high-value cases). Both parties are notified simultaneously.
6. Possible Outcomes
- Full Refund to Sender — escrow returned where non-delivery or carrier fault is established;
- Full Payout to Carrier — escrow released where delivery is confirmed;
- Partial Refund — escrow split where partial fault or damage is established;
- No Action — where insufficient evidence exists;
- Account Action — suspension or removal of a User found to have acted dishonestly.
Passpost's maximum liability is limited to the declared item value, up to NOK 5,000 per Task, except where greater liability is required by applicable consumer protection law.
7. Escrow During Disputes
Upon filing, escrow funds are immediately frozen and not released to either party until the dispute is resolved. Funds are released within 2 business days of a final determination.
8. Appeals
Either party may appeal within 7 days of notification by submitting new evidence to legal@passpost.io with the subject line "Dispute Appeal – [Reference Number]". Only one appeal per dispute is permitted; decisions are communicated within 7 business days and are final.
9. Escalation to Legal Proceedings
If a dispute cannot be resolved through this Policy, either party may escalate to binding arbitration or legal proceedings under the Passpost Terms of Service. Norwegian consumer protection law rights are not affected.
10. Abuse of the Dispute Process
Filing false, misleading, or vexatious disputes is a serious breach of the Terms of Service and may result in immediate account suspension and liability for investigation costs.
