5. PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY

All products displayed on Fruugo are sold by third party independent retailers. Fruugo is neither the buyer nor the seller of the products. Fruugo is the platform provider and commercial agent of the retailers, enabling retailers and customers to complete transactions. Fruugo acts as a commercial agent on behalf of the retailers only and not on behalf of customers. In our agreements with the retailers, the retailers have authorised Fruugo to conclude the sale of products to customers. This means that Fruugo has the authority from the retailers to bind the retailers to a sale of products. A contract formed on the completion of a sale of a product is made solely between the customer and the retailer, although Fruugo has the retailer’s authority to bind the retailer to a sale of a product pursuant to such contract. Fruugo is not a party to such contract nor assumes any responsibility arising out of or in connection with it. We are using our best efforts to make certain that the products purchased by you at Fruugo are of good quality, meet the requirements of all relevant rules and regulations and are in all material respects in accordance with the product description displayed at Fruugo. We are monitoring our retailers’ delivery processes and our customers’ feedback of products sold at Fruugo, but we have no direct control over the individual products or deliveries of products sold at Fruugo.

When you place an order, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your order. This email is only an acknowledgement for information purposes and it does not constitute acceptance of your order by the retailer. The contract between you and the retailer in relation to the products will not be formed until we have checked that the retailer accepts your order. If your order is accepted, we will send you a confirmation email, which concludes the contract between you and the retailer. The confirmation email will include a description of the products purchased in the order and certain other information about your rights to cancel the contract between you and the retailer. Only those products listed in the dispatch confirmation email are included in the contract between you and the retailer.

We receive your payments on behalf of the retailer, and we also undertake to refund you on behalf of the retailer any moneys which you may become entitled to.

Further instructions are given in the relevant chapters of the Fruugo  Help . Such instructions may be amended from time to time with or without notice to you. You understand and agree that such instructions will form an integral part of this TOU.

Warranty terms are product specific, and therefore will be provided with the relevant product, or by the relevant retailer.
