Products or services offered by other websites shall be subject to the applicable Terms and Conditions of those third parties. Opinions expressed or material appearing on those websites are not necessarily shared or endorsed by us.

As a seller, you must not fail to deliver items sold by you, unless you have a valid reason, for example, the buyer fails to comply with the posted terms in your listing or you cannot contact the buyer.
Engaging in any activity that causes, or may cause, damage to the website or that interferes with the performance, availability, or accessibility of the website is strictly prohibited.

Customers who buy your products have the right to withdraw within 7 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 7 days from the day on which they acquire, or a third-party other than the carrier and indicated by them acquires, physical possession of the last good, or physical possession of the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, customers must inform us of their decision to withdraw from the transaction by an unequivocal statement (for example a letter sent by post, fax, or email). Our contact details can be found below. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.
If they use this option, we will communicate an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (for example by email) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for them to send their communication concerning their exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
After a customer has withdrawn, we shall reimburse them all payments received, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from their choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by you), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about their decision to withdraw. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as they used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
They shall send back the goods without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which they communicate their withdrawal. The deadline is met if they send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or they have supplied evidence of having back the goods in the same condition they were sent, whichever is the earliest.
They will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
They will be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.
Please note that there are some legal exceptions to the right to withdraw, and some items can therefore not be returned or exchanged. You should let the buyer know if this applies in your particular case.
As a Vendor (or ‘Seller’), for all of your products you will accept and process returns, refunds and adjustments in accordance with these Terms and Conditions published on the Site at the time of the applicable order, and we may inform customers that these policies apply to your products.

You will determine and calculate the amount of all refunds and adjustments (including any taxes, shipping and handling or other charges) or other amounts to be paid by you to buyers in connection with Theafrofest.com marketplace purchases. We will provide any such payments to the buyers (which may be in the same payment form originally used to purchase your product), and you will reimburse us for all amounts so paid. We may offset such payments against any amounts to be remitted or paid by Theafrofest.com to seller under this marketplace agreement or seek reimbursement from seller via any of the means authorized under this marketplace agreement. You will promptly provide refunds and adjustments that you are obligated to provide under the applicable Theafrofest.com Terms and Conditions and as required by law, and in no case later than thirty (30) days after the obligation arises.

You and The Afrofest Events each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and The Afrofest Events (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to our Services, the actions of The Afrofest Events or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.
The Vendor fees (or commissions) we charge for using our Services are listed on our site consist of 15% flat fee on each sale. This fee will be automatically deducted from the earnings you receive from a sale.
We may change our seller fees from time to time by informing sellers, using their email provided in their registration process, 14 days in advance, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the reduction of fees.
If you are a seller, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all of our Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of Theafrofest.com. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of Theafrofest.com, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item doesn’t sell, given your usage of our Services for the introduction to a buyer.
The funds in your Account will be automatically transferred by EFT to your designated account for Completed Sales on the 25th of each month. You may manually request a transfer at a different day by contacting us directly, and allowing us 48 business hours to process the transfer after written acknowledgement of receiving your request.
All orders should be shipped to customers within 72hrs. Failure to provide shipment notification within 4 days may cause your transaction and any associated payment to be canceled at our sole discretion. Upon agreeing to these Terms and Conditions as a Vendor, you are contracted to adhere to your responsibility to deliver the items contained within an order to the Buyer and you waive your ability to win any disputes if the customer says the package did not arrive due to not having Delivery Confirmation or Tracking.
Many buyers prefer Vendors to get Tracking / Delivery Confirmation for an item that has been purchased. Tracking / Delivery Confirmation provides the date, time, and location of the delivery or delivery attempt and can be tracked online. The Vendor waives the ability to win any disputes if the customer says the package did not arrive should they choose not to follow that recommendation.
