DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS PURCHASED

 LIMITED AGENCY RELATIONSHIP

As a seller, you appoint GlamAfric Beauty Shop as your agent for the sole purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments to you as a Beauty Shop Seller. The Beauty Shop will only settle payments that are actually received to each seller, less any amounts owed to the Beauty Shop and subject to these Terms. Each seller agrees that a buyer’s payment received by the Beauty Shop, on behalf of the seller, satisfies the buyer’s obligations to make payment to the seller, regardless of whether the Beauty Shop actually settles such payment to the seller. If the Beauty Shop does not settle any such payments as described in these Terms to a seller, such seller will have recourse only against GlamAfric Beauty Shop and not the buyer.

ACCOUNT AND CONTENT VISIBILITY

In order to keep the Beauty Shop safe and improve our Services, we may take actions that either limit the visibility of your unique online store or your ads, or that impact your payment account. Where we believe that your actions or online store may result in buyer disputes, chargebacks, increased risk of fraud, counterfeiting, or other claims, the Beauty Shop may take actions such as limiting visibility of your account, or placing restrictions or reserves on your payments account. When appropriate and permitted by law, the Beauty Shop will communicate information to the affected seller about the issue.

In the event an online store sees an unusual spike in orders, particularly in a high demand category, that store may see an increase or decrease in its search ranking. Sometimes, if a store sees an increase in fulfilled orders and good reviews, this may result in higher visibility and search rank.

In addition, we may limit the visibility of listings or ads in the interest of keeping the Beauty Shop safe, and/or improving our services.

If the Beauty Shop has reason to believe you, your content, or your use of the our services violate our Terms, including this Seller Policy, we may deactivate that violating content or suspend or terminate your account (and any accounts the Beauty Shop determines is related to your account) and your access to the Beauty Shop platform. Generally, the Beauty Shop will notify you that your content or account has been suspended or terminated, unless you are a repeat violator of our Terms or we have legal or regulatory reasons preventing us from notifying you.

REPORTING OBLIGATIONS

The law may require that we provide information on our sellers to regulatory authorities in certain circumstances. GlamAfric Beauty Shop will comply with the requirements of the law and you agree to release GlamAfric Beauty Shop from any liability arising from any loss, fines or other sanctions arising from our providing such information to the relevant regulatory authorities.

TERMINATION

Sellers may terminate this contract and their acceptance of the Beauty Shop payment service at any time by adjusting the Settings in their account. GlamAfric Beauty Shop may also terminate or suspend a seller’s use of our payment service at any time.

Upon termination, any non-disputed available funds in the possession of the Beauty Shop will be deposited into a seller’s bank account. We reserve the right, upon termination, to set off against any payments to be made to the seller, an amount determined by us to be adequate to cover any anticipated chargebacks, refunds (where we have been instructed by the seller to effect a refund), adjustments or other amounts that might be paid to buyers in connection with purchases from the seller’s payment account for a prospective 180-day period. At the end of the 180-day period following termination, we will disburse to the seller any amount not used to offset chargebacks, refunds, adjustments, or such other amounts paid to buyers, or seek reimbursement from the seller via any of the means authorised in this Policy for any additional amount required to offset chargebacks, refunds, adjustments, or other amounts paid to buyers, as applicable.
