This document is a legally binding agreement between You as the user(s) of the Site (referred to as “You”, “Your” or “User” hereinafter) and Tradeit (referred to as “We”, “Our” or “Tradeit” hereinafter). Nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as restricting your consumer rights under the Zimbabwean Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

Tradeit is an online marketplace. The Website enables third-party sellers ("Sellers/Vendors") and buyers ("Buyers/Shoppers") to sell and buy products on the platform, respectively.

7. Transactions Between Buyers and Sellers

 7.1 Through the Sites, Tradeit provides electronic web-based platforms for exchanging information between buyers and sellers of products and services. Tradeit additionally provides electronic web-based transaction platforms for Members to place, accept, conclude, manage and fulfill orders for the provision of products and services online within the Sites subject to the terms of the User Agreement. However, for any Services, Tradeit does not represent either the seller or the buyer in specific transactions. Tradeit does not control and is not liable or responsible for the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the products or services offered for sale on the Sites, the ability of the sellers to complete a sale or the ability of buyers to complete a purchase.  

7.2 Users are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretense. Tradeit uses several techniques to verify the accuracy of certain information our paying Users provide us when they register for a paying membership service on the Sites. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Tradeit cannot and does not confirm each User's purported identity (including, without limitation, paying Members). We encourage You to use various means, as well as common sense, to evaluate the Website users You are dealing with.  

7.3 Buyers and sellers accessing or using the Sites or Services shall assume the risks of conducting any purchase and sale transactions in connection with or through the Sites or Services. Buyer and sellers accessing or using the Site or Services shall also fully assume all risks of liability or harm of any kind arising out of or in connection with any subsequent activity relating to the products or services that are the subject of the transactions on the Sites. Examples of such risks shall include, but are not limited to, mis-representation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory product quality, failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, unlawful products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost mis-calculations, breach of warranty, breach of contract, transportation accidents, the risk that the manufacture, importation, export, distribution, offer, display, purchase, sale and/or use of products or services offered or displayed on the Sites may violate or may be asserted to violate Third Party Rights, and the risk that Users may incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’ assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to the assertion of rights, demands or claims by claimants of Third Party Rights. Examples of such risks also include the risk of claims from consumers, other purchasers, end-users of products or other third parties that they have suffered injuries or harm from their use of the products obtained through the Sites or Services. All of the foregoing risks are referred to as "Transaction Risks". Tradeit is not liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities, costs, harm, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.  

7.4 Buyers and sellers on the Sites are solely responsible for setting out and performance of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the Sites or Services, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and storage.  

7.5 User agrees to provide all information and materials as may be reasonably required by Tradeit in connection with Your transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the Sites or Services. Tradeit has the right to suspend or terminate any User’s account if the User fails to provide the required information and materials without liability for any losses or damages arising out of or in connection with such suspension or termination.

7.6 In the event that any User has a dispute with any party to a transaction, such User agrees to release and indemnify Tradeit (and our agents, affiliates, directors, officers and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with such dispute or the transaction.
