4.1 Vendor Registration

Vendors must complete the registration process and provide all required documentation, including business licenses and tax information, as applicable in their jurisdiction.

4.2 Commission and Fees

Vendors agree to pay the platform commission on each completed sale. Commission rates will be clearly communicated during onboarding and may vary by product category. Additional fees may apply for premium features or services.

4.3 Vendor Responsibilities

Vendors are responsible for product quality, accurate descriptions, inventory management, order fulfillment, customer service, and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

5. Buyer Terms

Buyers agree to provide accurate shipping and billing information for all purchases. You are responsible for reviewing product descriptions, specifications, and vendor ratings before making a purchase.

By placing an order, you agree to pay the total amount including product price, shipping fees, taxes, and any other applicable charges.

6. Product Listings

Vendors must provide accurate and complete product information, including descriptions, images, prices, and availability. Misleading or false information is strictly prohibited.

We reserve the right to remove any product listings that violate our policies, infringe on intellectual property rights, or are otherwise inappropriate.

Product prices are set by individual vendors. We are not responsible for pricing errors, but vendors must honor prices displayed at the time of purchase unless there is a clear and obvious error.

7. Orders and Payment

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the product. The vendor has the right to accept or reject your order. Order confirmation does not guarantee acceptance.

Payment must be made through our secure payment gateway. We support various payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets. Payment information is encrypted and processed securely.

All transactions are subject to our fraud detection measures. We reserve the right to cancel or refuse orders that appear fraudulent or suspicious.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping is handled by individual vendors unless otherwise specified. Delivery times and shipping costs are provided by vendors and may vary based on location and shipping method.

While we strive to ensure timely delivery, we are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs, natural disasters, or other factors beyond our control.

Risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier. You should inspect all packages upon delivery and report any damage immediately.

9. Returns and Refunds

Return policies are set by individual vendors and must be clearly stated in their product listings. Generally, items must be returned in original condition within the specified return period.

To initiate a return, contact the vendor through our platform messaging system. Refunds will be processed according to the vendor's return policy, typically within 5-10 business days after the returned item is received and inspected.

Certain items may not be eligible for return, including personalized items, perishable goods, and intimate products for health and hygiene reasons.

10. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between buyers and vendors, we encourage parties to resolve issues amicably through our messaging system. Our customer support team is available to mediate disputes if necessary.

If a resolution cannot be reached, either party may escalate the matter to our dispute resolution team within 30 days of the issue arising.

Any disputes arising from these terms shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, and parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in that location.
