For a Zimbabwe-based operation, the platform's privacy practices should be aligned with applicable data-protection requirements, including the Cyber and Data Protection Act where applicable.
The platform uses cookies and similar technologies to provide essential functionality, maintain accounts and shopping carts, improve performance, personalize experiences, support advertising, measure marketing campaigns, and facilitate affiliate tracking.

The platform may investigate suspected violations of these Terms, marketplace policies, fraud, abuse, unauthorized activity, intellectual-property infringement, security incidents, or other misconduct.
Users agree to reasonably cooperate with legitimate investigations.
The platform may preserve relevant information where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or enforcement of these Terms.

Where a dispute arises, the platform may review relevant information including order records, payment information, communications, product information, delivery records, photographs, tracking information, and other evidence.
The platform may determine an appropriate marketplace resolution based on the available evidence and applicable policies.
The platform's dispute-resolution process does not remove any rights that a party may have under mandatory applicable law.
The marketplace is designed to facilitate transactions between users. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the platform does not guarantee that every seller, product, listing, advertisement, review, delivery partner, or user will meet a particular standard.
The platform does not guarantee that products will always be available, that sellers will fulfill every order, or that product information supplied by independent sellers will always be error-free.

This provision does not apply to the extent that applicable law prohibits such an obligation.
If the platform does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean the platform has permanently waived its right to enforce that provision.
A waiver must be expressly made by an authorized representative of the platform.
We may modify, improve, expand, reduce, or discontinue features of the marketplace at any time.
Where a change materially affects users' contractual rights or obligations and applicable law requires notice, appropriate notice will be provided.
Continued use of the platform after applicable changes take effect may constitute acceptance of the updated Terms where permitted by law.

When significant changes are made, we may provide notice through the website, application, email, account notifications, or another appropriate communication method.
The "Last Updated" date at the beginning of these Terms indicates when they were most recently revised.

Zimbabwe's Consumer Protection Act specifically addresses electronic transactions and requires certain transaction information and terms to be made available electronically to consumers.

Where the platform is required to provide notice to a user, notice may be delivered through email, account notifications, platform announcements, SMS, application notifications, or other legally permitted communication methods.
Users are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information.
These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable to the legal entity operating the marketplace, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
For a platform operated by a Zimbabwean entity, the governing-law provision should be finalized to reflect the applicable laws of Zimbabwe and the jurisdiction in which the company is legally established.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive consumers of mandatory rights or protections available to them under applicable consumer-protection laws.
Where a dispute arises between a user and the platform, the parties should first attempt to resolve the matter through the platform's customer-support or formal complaint process.
Where appropriate, disputes may subsequently be referred to mediation, arbitration, or a competent court in accordance with applicable law and any applicable dispute-resolution agreement.
Nothing in this section prevents a consumer from exercising a mandatory right to access a competent regulatory body, consumer-protection authority, alternative dispute-resolution mechanism, or court where such right cannot lawfully be excluded.
Zimbabwe's Consumer Protection Act provides for consumer dispute mechanisms and the Consumer Protection Commission framework, which should be considered when finalizing the platform's dispute-resolution procedures.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally possible.
The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Purchasing Policy, Return and Refund Policy, Seller Terms, Affiliate Terms, Advertising Terms, and other applicable policies, constitute the terms governing your use of the marketplace.
