THE BELKABOO PLATFORM

Belkaboo acts as an electronic platform to allow customers and vendors (collectively "users"), who comply with these terms of use, to buy and sell certain fashion goods.

Belkaboo’s platform offers vendors the ability to sell and customers the ability to buy fashion goods for a fixed price, as determined by the vendor.

Belkaboo is not directly involved in the transactions between customers and vendors. Belkaboo only provides the platform for vendors to sell and customers to buy goods listed on the platform.

Belkaboo does not monitor, control or regulate the quality, safety, standards or legality of any aspect of the goods listed by vendors, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of vendors to sell items listed or the ability of customers to pay for items.

The relationship between vendor and customer is solely between such users.

As such Belkaboo does not pre-screen all content or information provided by users. Belkaboo cannot ensure that a customer or vendor will actually complete a transaction. Therefore, Belkaboo cannot and does not transfer legal ownership of items from the vendor to the customer. This is the sole responsibility of the vendor.

Use of Belkaboo’s platform is entirely at the user's own risk.


QUALIFYING CRITERIA FOR USERS TO USE THE PLATFORM

Use of the platform requires any users to be 18 years or older.

Belkaboo may, in its sole discretion, refuse access to or use of the platform to any user (including any entity).

Belkaboo may amend these requirements for use of the platform at any time without notice to users.

This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the platform is revoked in such jurisdictions.
