Markaz Mart Terms of Sale

The standard terms of sale (hereinafter referred to as ‘Terms of Sale’) exist as an electronic record and take the form of an electronic contract. These Terms of Sale do not necessitate any physical, electronic, or digital signature.

The Terms of Sale serve as a legally enforceable agreement between the buyer and the seller. The seller offers to sell products by listing them on the website, and the buyer accepts this offer by agreeing to purchase the listed product. The Terms of Sale become effective and binding on the seller once they advertise, exhibit, and list the product on the website. Similarly, they become effective and binding on the buyer once they agree to purchase the listed products.

In these Terms of Sale, a User (be it a guest user or registered user) who purchases various Products (as defined below) from the Seller on the Markaz Mart website (found at www.MarkazMart.com) and mobile application (collectively referred to as the ‘Website’) is known as the ‘Buyer’. The ‘Seller’ refers to an individual or any legal entity who lists, advertises, exhibits, offers to sell, makes available, markets, sells, and delivers any Products through the Website to the Buyer. The Terms of Sale outline the terms of offer for sale/sale, acceptance of offer for sale by the Buyer, and the purchase of goods and services (‘Products’) through the Website from the Seller. The Terms of Sale also include certain statements and disclaimers made by Markaz Mart (‘Markaz Mart’), which are binding on both the Buyer and Seller. At times, both the Buyer and Seller are collectively referred to as ‘you’, along with its grammatical variations and cognate expressions.

Please carefully review these terms of sale prior to listing any product or making any purchases. These terms of sale supplement various agreements, terms, privacy policies, terms of use, and all other website policies. The seller may incorporate additional or conflicting terms and conditions of sale in the product listing or product description available on the website (referred to as ‘additional terms of sale’). In case of any discrepancy between these terms of sale and the additional terms of sale, the additional terms of sale will prevail to the extent of such conflict and in relation to that sale. If a seller disagrees with these terms of sale, they should refrain from listing or offering any products for sale on the website. Similarly, if a buyer disagrees with these terms of sale and additional terms of sale, they should not purchase or attempt to purchase any product listed on the website.

These Terms of Sale may be revised at any time, and both Buyers and Sellers are advised to periodically review these Terms of Sale before listing any Product or making any purchase. The updated Terms of Sale will be available on the Website.
