It is the responsibility of the Users to check this page for updates on a regular basis. Following the publication of any changes, the Users' continuing use or access to the Application implies acceptance of those changes.

During the registration process, Users agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, as well as to update such information to maintain it accurate, current, and complete. When enrolling on the Company's Platforms, Users must provide a valid phone number and email address. By registering our Platforms, Users consent to be contacted by the Company via phone calls, SMS notifications, instant messages, and email addresses in case of verifications and subscription/service/promotional updates.

Users may be required to complete a verification step as part of the account setup process. On registration, the Users will receive a password protected account and an identification number. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account information and for all activities that occur via their accounts once they have been set up. If there is any unauthorized use of their accounts or any other violation of security, the Users are required to notify the Company.

The Company reserves the right to suspend/cancel the User's account or access to the Application, as well as to block any amounts due to the User and related account-

if any information submitted during the registration process or afterwards proves to be incorrect, out of date, or incomplete; and/or

if Users are found to be in violation of the Terms, Policies, and/or Privacy Policy, as applicable.

Regardless of anything else in this Agreement, the Users understand and agree that they will have no ownership or other property interest in their account, and that all rights in and to their account will be owned by and inure to the benefit of the Company forever. Any and all activities carried out by a User under his or her account, however, shall be the sole responsibility of the User.

AMENDMENT TO THE TERMS

The Company maintains the right to revise, modify, amend, or update these Terms and/or the Agreement at any time, and any amended provisions of these Terms and/or the Agreement will take effect immediately after they are posted on the Platform. If the Users do not agree with such restrictions, they must immediately discontinue using the Platform. Users shall be deemed to have accepted the revised elements of these Terms and/or the Agreement if they continue to use the Platform.

ORDERS AND FINANCIAL TERMS

The Application allows Users to place orders for products sold by various Suppliers, and the Company will assist the placement of orders for the products to the Users, subject to the terms and conditions set out herein. The Company does not own, sell, or resell products on its own, and/or the Suppliers are not under its control. Any product may be removed from the Application at any time by the Company. The company doesn't provide any guarantee about the availability of the product or quality.

The Users understand that any order they place is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms, as well as any additional terms and conditions imposed by the concerned Suppliers.

When the Company receives an order from a User, it will provide an electronic confirmation of that order to the Supplier and the User concerned. Furthermore, the Company may notify Users of the order's availability or unavailability, as well as any pricing changes, as notified by the relevant Supplier. The order will be considered final after it has been confirmed.

All commercial/contractual terms are offered by and agreed to between Suppliers and the Users alone. The commercial/contractual terms include without limitation, price, shipping costs, payment methods, payment terms, date, period and mode of delivery, warranties related to products, etc. The Company has no influence over, and does not determine, advise, or participate in the offering or acceptance of such commercial/contractual terms between the Suppliers and the Users in any way. The Suppliers, not the Company, are responsible for any discounts and offers.

The Users understand and agree that the Company may serve as a payment agent on behalf of the Users (Supplier or Reseller) at the request of the Users (Supplier or Reseller) for the limited purpose of accepting payments from them. Upon payment of the amounts to the Company, which are due to the Supplier or Reseller, the payment obligation to the Supplier or Reseller for such amounts is completed, and the Company will be responsible for remitting such amounts, to the Supplier or Reseller. The Users understand and accept that the payment facility provided by the Company is neither a banking nor financial service but is merely a facilitator providing a third party payment processor for the transactions on its Platform. Further, by providing payment facility, the Company is neither acting as trustees nor acting in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the transaction or the transaction price. The Company will not be liable for any charges made by the Users bank in relation to payment of the total amount.

For any transactions made on the Application, the Users undertake to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information. The Company undertakes to keep the Users' account and other information up to date, including email addresses, credit card numbers, and expiration dates (whatever applicable), so that the transactions can be completed. In connection with any order, information such as name, billing address and credit card information will have to be provided either to the Company or the third party payment processor. If the Users are directed to the third party payment processor, they may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Users are requested to review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the Application.

The Company merely collects the payment on behalf of the Vendor or Reseller. All applicable taxes and levies, the rates thereof and the manner of applicability of such taxes on the bill are being charged and determined by the Vendor or Reseller. The Company holds no responsibility for the legal correctness/validity of the levy of such taxes. The sole liability with respect to any legal issue arising on the taxes payable shall be with the Vendor or Reseller.

The transaction is bilateral between the Vendor or Reseller and the Users and therefore, the Company is not liable to charge or deposit any taxes applicable on such transaction. Acts and regulations of relevant law in place during the tenure of this association, we understand that there is an obligation on the Supplier/ Reseller transacting on our Platforms to ensure that package in which the products are sold complies with labelling and packing requirements. Hence, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Supplier / Reseller to comply with applicable laws and the ‘Company’ or the Platform shall not be held responsible in anyways. Supplier/ Reseller shall indemnify the company and the platform for any harm or loss in relation to contravention of above regulations.
