13. PAYMENTS

The website uses third party payment providers to receive payments from the Buyers on Seller’s behalf. The website is not responsible for delays or erroneous transaction execution or cancellation of orders due to payment issues. The website takes utmost care to work with 3rd party payment providers (Razorpay), but does not control their systems, processes, technology and work flows, hence cannot be held responsible for any fault at the end of payment providers. Further, the website does not release the payment to Sellers until the order has been received by the Buyers and they are satisfied with it. The website shall only make payments to the Sellers subject to realisation of payment received from the Buyer to the website. The Seller payment is typically net of the service fee charged by the website for its services and after deduction of applicable withholding taxes (if any).

14. FEEDBACK

We encourage Registered Buyers on the Website to provide feedback to the Sellers after the transaction has been closed, this helps other Users to know the performance level of the said Merchant/Seller. Please remember that You cannot retract the feedback once You have provided it. Further You agree that the feedback You provide to the Website shall be deemed to be non- confidential and will be displayed along with Your user ID. The website will not be responsible for the feedback that You post on the Website and You should be careful in making comments that are not factual in nature and should not post defamatory or illegal or offensive/obscene contents, for which You shall alone be liable.

You may not take any actions that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system. If You continue to receive negative feedback ratings, the website reserves the right to suspend Your membership, and You will be unable to list, buy or bid on the Website. You agree that Your feedback shall not contain confidential or proprietary information of You or of third parties.

Import – We do not provide the technical ability to allow You to import feedback from other websites to the website because a composite number, without the corresponding feedback does not reflect Your true online reputation within our community.
