Terms and Conditions for Sellers

1. Introduction

From here onwards, it is this multi-vendor platform, all its sub-domains, and the owner entity, that is referred to as the ‘site’, ‘platform’, ‘us’, or ‘we’. Further, a sole proprietor/company, registered with the online market platform of etourshopping.lk is collectively referred to as ‘sellers’. Further, etourshopping.lk and the seller are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “parties” and individually as a “party”.

2. Scope

As an online platform that creates a space for the customers and sellers to transact online, the sellers have the ability to sell their products through this site. Thus, the sellers would appoint us as their commission agent, and the sellers are requested to abide by these terms and conditions, as this specification tends to act as a legally binding agreement that is made between the parties. Besides, please note that unless the parties specifically agree otherwise, this agreement replaces all earlier agreements or arrangements between them.

Moreover, this platform introduces consumers to the seller, taking orders and payments on their behalf. Further, we support the sellers with a variety of logistical and marketing services if the sellers make a request for them. This assistance may be included in the agreed commissions as well as any additional service costs. Also, we may, without prior notice, employ the services of subcontractors to carry out any element of this agreement or any future services made available to the seller.

The policies available on this platform are applicable for all the subdomains, applications, and tools related to this site, and are to be read into and incorporated as an integral part of this agreement. Moreover, we believe that you have read and understood these terms and conditions, and agree to abide by them, as you use the platform and access the seller center. Therefore, please make sure that you refrain from using this site if you do not agree with any of the below-mentioned conditions.

Also, etourshopping.lk has the right to add, remove, change or modify any of the terms and conditions mentioned here, without any prior notice. The modified clauses would be effective from the moment that they are updated on the site, and thus, it is the responsibility of the sellers to periodically review the terms and conditions and to stay updated. Therefore, it is important to note that we consider your continued use of the site, following the date of modification as a sign of your acceptance of the modified Terms and Conditions, available across the platform.

Besides, etourshopping.lk has the right to delist any seller or to terminate the relationship with any of the sellers if they are identified to harm the reputation and the service standards of the owner entity. Regardless of any provisions in this contract, it must be construed in accordance with the Seller Code of Conduct. We would be informing the sellers about any amendment to the Seller Code of Conduct, and any breach in the Seller Code of Conduct would be considered as a breach of contract within this agreement.

3. Access to Platform and Seller Center

Following the sign-up process, the seller will receive a username and password to access the Seller Center and to complete the registration process. However, it is the responsibility of the seller to keep the information related to their business (address, bank account number, etc.) on Seller Center, updated. In fact, etourshopping.lk is not responsible for any damages caused by inaccurate information provided by the seller.

However, it is the seller’s duty to pay attention to the safety and security of their password. Further, any of the actions taken under the seller account will be considered as done by the seller, or an authorized party, and thus, the sellers should not disclose their password to any other third party. The sellers should fully indemnify etourshopping.lk from any damages or injury resulting from any unauthorized use of its password.

Moreover, we believe that any of the correspondence or communication that we get through the Seller Center and/or appointed email address are from the seller, or approved by the seller, and thus, etourshopping.lk is entitled to rely on such communication and correspondence. Also, if a seller does not respond (an answer or a written objection) to any of the messages sent through the email in the Seller Center account or via Seller Center within 72 hours it would be worth agreement between the parties.

4. Featuring Products on the Platform

Featuring a product on the site simply means an offer of sale by the seller to all persons using the site. A customer purchasing a product through the platform happened to be accepting the seller’s offer to sell the product. Accordingly, a binding contract shall come into force between the Customer and the Seller, and thus, this happens to be a sole agreement between the seller and the buyer, with no relation to us. Further, we are not responsible for any of the agreements between the buyer and the seller, and we may not take part to resolve or mediate any disputes between the seller and a buyer. Still, this agreement shall govern any contracts between the seller and a customer. Accordingly, in the event of a dispute between this agreement and the contract or any document contained with the product(s) supplied to a customer, or implied by trade practice or course of business, this agreement shall prevail.

We will be featuring the products of the seller as sold by themselves on the site, and they will be displayed at the given listed prices. The seller will provide us with the necessary information in a predetermined format, and we believe that the information they provide is compatible with the actual product they sell. Hence, it is the seller who is responsible for listing their own products. However, it is up to us to decide how those products will be placed and displayed on the platform, and we hereby declare that we have the right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create and distribute any content that the seller provides.

Further, etourshopping.lk reserves the right to delist any product(s) displayed on the site if the sale of such product would violate any legislation or if the seller breaches any of its duties under this agreement. In such instances, the seller will be notified promptly. Besides, we may produce digitized images and photographs of the product(s) to be displayed on the side, as requested by the sellers. We have the right to charge a fee on such occasions and are entitled to deduct this amount from the payment made to the seller for the sales of any product(s). This deduction would be done in addition to any of the dedication that takes place under the prior agreements.

Also, we may, through numerous channels, provide further promotions/discounts over and above a seller’s listed price, and the seller acknowledges that this does not represent a change in ownership of the product(s). The seller’s listed price shall be the basis for any commission and/or fees imposed on such a transaction.

5. Seller Performance

The sellers agree to respect and comply with the policies of etorushopping.lk in order to maintain a smooth flow of operations, and we highly expect the sellers to avoid any consequences of breaching the policy.

Besides, we follow several steps to evaluate the sellers’ performance, and the sellers would be ranked accordingly. There would be daily order limits related to each of these ranks as well. Further, we, as the owner entity, have the right to delist, downgrade or upgrade the seller depending on commercial and operational performance at any time, without prior notice. Moreover, we also have the power of blacklisting sellers who repeatedly breach delisting thresholds and how the re-listing process is managed is solely up to us to decide.

We also have the right to exempt certain sellers from the daily order limitations and delisting criteria, owing to various reasons. If the sellers’ performance does not meet the Standard Ops Score, they may be penalized financially. These financial penalties may be taken from the seller’s payout according to the payment terms. Penalties can be imposed for a variety of offenses, including but not limited to:

High rate of return on products.
Ignoring the packaging guidelines.
Cancellations and orders out of stock.
Slow fulfillment of orders.
Selling counterfeit and illegal products.

6. Seller Obligations to Customer Service

If we receive a question or a complaint from a customer regarding any product, we would forward them to the sellers, and the sellers are obliged to respond to them within 48 hours of the receipt of such questions or complaints. The responses we receive will be forwarded to the customers as soon as we receive them, and failing to respond to a question or a complaint within 48 hours would be a reason for us to de-list a seller or any of their products without any notice.

7. Commission

As the agent that provides the platform for buying and selling, etourshopping.lk is entitled to receive a commission for the sale of each product, unless specified otherwise in any special terms agreed upon. Commissions are determined as a proportion of the total sales price, which includes taxes. As described in under payments, we would be making payouts to the sellers, and the commissions would be substrate from it. However, we have the right to change the percentage commission stated in the commission schedule by giving the seller 14 days’ notice prior to implementation.

8. Payments

We as the owner entity of the platform would be receiving and processing all the payments of products sold on the platform, on behalf of the seller. Thereafter, we would be clearing out the payments to the sellers, as the amount of the listed price for the product(s) received from a customer, less its commission for the sale of the product(s), less any service fees/penalties or any other amounts due if applicable, subject to its right of set-off under this agreement.

Payments to the seller will be made twice a month to the bank account, provided that payment for any product will be commenced no later than 15 days after the product has been successfully delivered to the customer. Payment statements would be available on the Seller Center with all relevant information for the seller’s information.

Payment will be transferred online to the bank account specified by the seller in the Seller Center, and the payments would be made in Sri Lankan Rupees. By chance, if the seller needs to change the information of the bank account, the seller has the ability to do so by updating the bank details through the Seller Center.

We would not be liable for any failure to make payments owing to the incomplete or inaccurate bank information provided by the seller. By chance, if we have settled the payments for a delivered item that is later returned by a customer, we would be deducting the equivalent amount in the next cycle and return the product to the seller. Further, if a product is lost by etorushopping.lk or the shipping company during transit or handling, we would be reimbursing the seller for the product in question.

If the seller files a disagreement regarding the state of a returned product (e.g., the product is damaged), we would take steps to refund the seller for the product if the case is reviewed and accepted by us favoring the seller. In exchange for such a refund, the title to the product will only pass to us, if we wish to keep it for commercial purposes. We may also temporarily detain the product in order to collect insurance or resolve a dispute with the third-party logistic services. This does not imply that etourshopping.lk gains ownership of the product.

We may also deduct or withhold any kind of duties, taxes, or other amounts applicable under any federal, provincial, or local law from the payment made to the seller, and we would remit the same to the taxing authority of any jurisdiction relevant to the transaction. Further, etourshopping.lk may apply any payments owing to the seller hereunder as a set-off against any sums owed to us by the seller, or against any claims of third parties against the owner entity originating from the sellers’ performance, whether under this agreement, any contract, or any other instrument.

The seller is responsible for all customs duties, sales tax, excise tax, value-added tax, and any other duties, excess, fees, or charges of any kind imposed by governing authorities of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale or supply of its products on etourshopping.lk and the purchase of those products by customers. Also, it is important to note that the seller is exclusively responsible for the payment of any sales tax on the sale of these products to the customer via the platform, and we would bear no responsibility in this regard.

We may also inform the seller about these modifications via email.

However, the seller is given fourteen (24) days to accept the modifications and to inform us about any disagreement via email or seller center. Getting no response from the seller is deemed as an agreement for the made amendments.

20. Fulfillment Model

When sellers register on this site, they will be considered to operate on the dropship. The following sections will further specify the terms and conditions that govern their performance on this platform.

20.1 Inventory Management

The seller should maintain inventory of all products displayed on the site. Further, the sellers are responsible to update their true inventory on a daily basis through the Seller Center.
By chance, if the seller has a reasonable expectation that any products sold through the online marketplace may run out of stock, it must update the inventory information in the Seller Center immediately.
However, if a customer places an order for an out-of-stock product on the platform as a result of false inventory information displayed on the site, the order will be canceled, and the customer will be informed about it. Still, it would be a reason for us to take legal actions against that specific seller, for providing false information on the platform.

20.2 Order Processing and Packaging

When we receive an order for the purchase of products, we will be forwarding the order to the seller. Accordingly, the seller will be provided with information relating to the ordered product(s) including the seller’s product or bar code relating to the product(s), as well as any other information needed to complete the order – as provided by the customer. This information will be shared with the seller through the seller center. The Order Status on the Seller Center will be displayed as pending and is a confirmation of an order placed by a customer.
The seller is required to process and package each order in such a way that any and all sold products have a Handling Time that is determined by the seller’s position in the customer protection policy. In the event of any delay, whether actual or anticipated, the Seller must promptly notify us using the Contact Us Form.
By chance, if an order/item status is indicated as “canceled” on Seller Center prior to shipment, no package should be handed over to the shipping service.
The sellers should adhere to the guidelines specified within the packaging guidelines when selecting packaging materials for the orders.
The invoice, shipping label, and returns form issued by the Seller Center must be printed and packed with the shipment package for sure.

20.3 Shipping and Shopping Fulfillment

The Seller shall retain entire and undisputed ownership of the sold product(s) until it is successfully delivered to the customer, and at the moment of delivery, the ownership of the product will be transferred to the customer. By chance, if a customer returns or rejects a certain product, the title and ownership of the product will immediately revert to the seller, who will be the single and uncontested owner of the product. Accordingly, etourshopping.lk will never hold ownership of the products at any time, under any circumstance.

Further, by accessing and using this site, the seller acknowledges and agrees that,

None of the third parties, including the shipping service and etourshipping.lk, shall be liable for any damage, including but not limited to taxes and charges imposed on the consignment as a result of shipments being confiscated by government authorities for lack of necessary documentation.
We and the shipping service have the right to inspect any cargo for the purpose of verifying the contents without previous notice to the seller. Still, it should be noted that this inspection is not deemed to be a duty of us, nor the shipping service. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the seller to ensure that the customer receives the proper product(s).
To fulfill the needs of any governmental entity, all packages must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork as specified by law.
If the order/item status is listed as “canceled” on the seller center prior to shipping, no parcel should be handed over to the shipping service.
The seller recognizes that etourshhopping.lk is not responsible for any payments made to the customer for canceled packages.
For the avoidance of doubt, repeated violations of this policy will result in etourshopping.lk delisting on the seller’s business.

20.4 Cancellation, Rejections, Returns, and Refunds

The sellers should understand and agree that a customer may cancel an order for any product in any category before it is sent to the customer.
If a customer cancels an order before it is marked shipped, the seller will not dispatch any canceled status orders to the shipping service. Any such shipping, as well as any liabilities associated with it, will always be the seller’s responsibility.
When a product is rejected, and/or the product is returned, the seller should allow etourshopping.lk to provide the customer with a refund, if the customer has pre-paid for the product and cancels the purchase before it is sent.
Unless otherwise indicated in the Returns and Refund Policy for a specific category of products, the seller will accept product returns in the following circumstances:
- Defective/Malfunctioning Product
- Incorrect Product
- Incomplete Product
- The customer changes his or her mind about the product or no longer need it (applicable for certain categories only)
- The item is new, unused, unwashed, and free of defects.
- Original tags, user manuals, warranty cards, freebies, and accessories are all included in the package.
- The goods are returned in the manufacturer’s original, undamaged packing/box.
In the event of a return, etourshopping.lk may bill the seller for the cost of shipping the product from the customer to us, or the seller, at its discretion.
We protect the seller in the event of returned items by conducting a quality control check to evaluate the validity of the customer’s return claim. By chance, if we identify that a customer has returned a product based on an invalid reason, the product will be returned to the customer.
In the event of a disagreement with the customer over the state of the product at the time of delivery, the seller undertakes to be bound by our investigation and judgment on the condition of the product at the time of delivery.
The seller will either repair the damaged product within the specified timeframe or authorize us to issue a full refund at the customer’s request. Unless the seller instructs us to dispose of the product, the damaged product may be delivered to the seller at the seller’s expense.
However, we may bill the seller for the cost of sending the replacement product to the customer at its discretion.
The seller agrees to be bound by the Returns and Refund Policy and to act in accordance with it. If there is a disagreement between the Returns and Refund Policy and the Terms of Service, the Returns and Refund Policy will take precedence.

20.5 Additional Services

Pick Up: The seller has the option of using pick-up service, in which we will collect the processed package from the seller before delivering it to the end customer. However, we have the right to impose a pick-up fee and deduct it from any payments received to the seller for the sale of any product(s).
Packaging and Processing (Cross-dock): Once the seller has given over the products through drop-off or pick-up, we are responsible for processing and packaging the order. The seller only needs to make the product that the client has purchased available to us. We may have the right to levy a cross-docking fee and deduct it from any payments received to the seller for the sale of any product(s).

21. Conclusion
