Terms and Conditions

Please read these Terms of Use (the “Agreement” or “Terms of Use”) carefully before using the services offered by Loyaltiecom Ltd. (“Loyaltie”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of:

(collectively, the “Website”), as well as any services, tools, features, or applications we provide (together with the Website, the “Services”).

By using the Services in any way, including visiting or browsing the Website, opening an account, listing items, or purchasing items, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.

1. Description of the Services and Marketplace Role

1.1 Marketplace Platform.
Loyaltie operates an online marketplace where independent sellers (“Sellers”) can create and manage online storefronts or pages on Loyaltie (“Shops”) to offer goods and/or services (each, an “Item”) to buyers (“Buyers”) for one-time or, where offered, recurring purchases (each, an “Order”).

1.2 Loyaltie Not a Party to Transactions.
When a Buyer places an Order from a Seller via the Services, the resulting contract for sale is solely between the Buyer and the Seller (the “Purchase Contract”). Loyaltie is not a party to the Purchase Contract and does not act as a buyer, seller, distributor, manufacturer, or agent of either party. All dealings and obligations under a Purchase Contract are strictly between the respective Seller and Buyer.

1.3 No Endorsement or Guarantee.
Loyaltie does not pre-screen Items or Shops and does not guarantee, endorse, or make any representations regarding:

  • The quality, safety, legality, or suitability of any Items,
  • The accuracy or completeness of any descriptions, photos, or content provided by Sellers, or
  • A Seller’s ability to fulfil Orders.

Details of the Programme, including eligibility criteria, refund process, time limits, and exclusions, may be described on the Website and are subject to change at Loyaltie’s sole discretion.

You acknowledge that:
