Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using TradeCFTA Agriculture, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the platform.

2. The Platform

TradeCFTA Agriculture is an agricultural marketplace that connects farmers, vendors, logistics partners and buyers across Africa. We facilitate product discovery, secure payments, trade documentation and logistics coordination under the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

3. User Accounts

• You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
• Vendor and logistics partner accounts are subject to a verification process before they can list products or offer services.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or applicable law.

4. Buying and Selling

Buyers place orders for verified agricultural products; vendors confirm and fulfil those orders. Orders are governed by the agreed terms at checkout, including price, quantity, quality, delivery and payment. Both parties agree to act in good faith and complete transactions as accepted.

5. Payments and Escrow

Where payment escrow is used, funds are held securely until both parties confirm satisfactory completion of the transaction. Upon release, funds are transferred to the vendor less applicable fees. Disputes will be reviewed in accordance with our dispute resolution policy.

6. Product Listings

Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of their product listings, including descriptions, pricing, certifications and compliance with food safety and export regulations. TradeCFTA Agriculture does not warrant the quality or legality of third-party products.

7. Prohibited Conduct

• Misrepresenting products, quantities or credentials.
• Engaging in fraudulent transactions or chargebacks.
• Uploading harmful or unlawful content.
• Attempting to interfere with platform security or other users' accounts.

8. Limitation of Liability

TradeCFTA Agriculture acts as an intermediary and is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from transactions, product quality, delivery, or use of the platform, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the platform. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
