Damages And Theft
Damages ,Safety & Security
As a Renter, you are expected to treat rented items as if they are your own. If anything happens, please immediately inform SIZ via Whatsapp. The better you manage the situation, the faster we can help you resolve it.
We understand that accidents can happen so we have included Damage Protection coverage to the rental price to help give you peace of mind when renting.
Damage Protection covers the cost of repairable damage (such as a broken zip, missing beads, stain removal) up to a maximum repair cost of AED 250 per rental.
What’s not covered?
1. Excess repair cost of damage in beyond the AED 250
2. Damage beyond repair
3. Loss of item due to carelessness, theft or other
In the event of irreparable damage and/or loss (2 & 3 above), the Renter would be liable to cover the total estimated replacement value of the item, at the discretion of the SIZ team.
Every item rented from a managed closet by siz undergo a stringent quality check that’s why we need atleast a day or two to fulfill your orders. Feel free to WhatsApp us if there are any issues that didn’t reach your expectations.
For peer-to-peer closets, we require the lenders to prepare and package their items and ensure the quality and cleanliness of the item before shipping out. You may message the lender through the chat on our app to check in on it and
if you could come up to an agreement that would be be beneficial for both. If you can’t reach to a conclusion, you can whatsapp us so we can assist.

For peer-to-peer closets, we require lenders to prepare and package their items, ensuring quality and cleanliness before shipping. You can communicate with the lender through our in-app chat to discuss and potentially come to an agreement to find a solution, arrange a payment adjustment or cancelation, if needed. If reaching a resolution proves challenging, you can contact us on WhatsApp, and we'll be happy to assist.
Protecting our Sizterhood is important to us so if we can see that you currently have an unreturned rental, you won't be able to place a new one.
If your rental has been logged by our team, you'll automatically receive full access to the site and can start renting again.
If you have any questions at all or you believe something isn't quite right with your current account status, please just drop us a message on WhatsApp and we will be more than happy to help.

🚩 A request to complete or verify a transaction via a link or button within an email, messenger, or text message that has been sent to you. Siz will never ask you to process payment via the messaging system, WhatsApp or other forms of communication. Payment for all rentals is made through our secure checkout at the time of making your rental request.
🚩 A request to share personal information, such as your email address, phone number or bank details.
We store and handle your details that enable rentals to be made via the checkout in a safe and secure way. You do not need to share any additional information via the messenger or any other form of contact. Anything like the below, should be reported.
🚩 Messages via the Siz App claiming to be from the Siz team and asking you to click on any links or share personal details.

Renting bags requires security deposit of 20% of the original retail price to ensure items are returned in the same excellent condition they were sent in and for peace of mind which is an additional fee, separate to the rental amount.
The Security Deposit is a holding charge placed on the Renter’s card for the duration of the rental and is released once the item has been safely returned to the Lender. Siz reserves the right to charge this amount at any time if damage, loss or other issue is reported.
Check out our Damage Protection add-on if you want to find out more about how your renters can cover minor damage repairs.
If your item is damaged by a Renter please follow the steps below:
💬 Make the Siz team aware of the damage as soon you open the package. You should always open your returns when they arrive with you. Take photos and include them in the message. Keep hold of these in case we need to see them too! All damage must be flagged with the renter or the Siz team within 7 days of receiving your rental back.
🪡 If the damage is minor and will handle the cost and taking the item to a cleaner or tailor. If they took out Damage Protection, they'll be covered by us for up to AED 250. The Damage Protection would be shown on their price breakdown for the rental if they aren't sure about this. If Damage Protection was not taken out, your renter is liable for any charges.
🚨 If you believe the damage to be major, please follow the above steps and know that we are on hand if needed. While we are dedicated to providing support and guidance in resolving disputes between renters and lenders, it’s essential to note that as a marketplace, Siz cannot assume financial responsibility for any loss or damage. We will, however, do our utmost to assist you throughout the process.
We ask that you kindly bear in mind that minor wear and tear is sometimes to be expected when lending items. Should a repair slightly alter an item please let us know and we’ll advise on whether you can keep renting it on Siz. Just because an item’s lived a little doesn’t mean it can’t live a little more!
