3.OUR BUSINESS
Fruugo is a global marketplace which allows independent retailers and buyers to connect with each other. Fruugo allows retailers to set up stores that list and sell product (“Product” or “Products”) to end users. Fruugo does not itself sell the relevant Products, does not handle, verify or otherwise see the relevant Products, and is not involved in the fulfilment process. Fruugo is not the manufacturer nor the distributor of the Products on its platform. Each product display page clearly identifies the name, location and address of the retailer offering the Products for sale on the Service.
4.COMMERCIAL AGENT STATUS
Each of Fruugo.com Ltd and Fruugo (Ireland) Limited may act as a commercial agent of the retailers only and not on behalf of customers. In Fruugo’s agreement with the retailers, the retailers have authorised Fruugo to conclude the sale of Products to customers on behalf of the retailers.
Fruugo is a business-to-consumer (“B2C”) marketplace – Fruugo facilitate sales from businesses to end consumers. The retailers are the merchant of record in respect to the Products sold. Fruugo is the merchant of record in respect to the payment for the Products purchased. When you purchase a Product on the Service, the contract for sale is solely between you and the retailer. That means that when you purchase a Product on the Service, your transaction is with the Merchant who listed the Product, and that Merchant is responsible for fulfilling your order.
Fruugo does not verify any of the Products listed for sale on the Service. Fruugo operates a Notice and Take Down Procedure that third parties are able to utilise where appropriate and Fruugo may remove Products at its sole discretion from the Service. Fruugo may assist a retailer with a Product recall in the event that a Product is deemed unsuitable for sale by a Product safety regulator.
As Fruugo is a B2C business, tax is charged on your order in accordance with the B2C tax rules applicable to your order, considering the purchase price, your location and the retailer’s location. Fruugo is unable to issue or amend invoices for a business-to-business (“B2B”) scenario.
Further to the above, Fruugo does not have possession of anything listed or sold through its websites and is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers (the retailers). Fruugo is not a party to the transaction and the contract for the sale is directly between buyer and seller. While Fruugo may help to facilitate the resolution of disputes, Fruugo has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of the Products listed; the accuracy of the seller’s listings content; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.
As a responsible online platform, the integrity of the Service is of the utmost importance to our business and all our partners. All retailers using the Service must adhere to Fruugo’s retailer terms and conditions and we require both retailers and consumers to adhere to the terms outlined in this TOU.
All Products sold by retailers on the Service are sold on the basis that they are for personal, domestic use only.
5.FRUUGO’S PRIVACY NOTICE
Registration Data (as defined below) and certain other information about you is subject to Fruugo’s Privacy Notice. For more information, please see our full Privacy Notice.
You agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and any content provided to you through the Service (“Content”): (a) to Fruugo’s affiliated companies worldwide for the purpose of providing the Service to you and others in an efficient manner; (b) for the purpose of properly administering your account in accordance with our standard operating procedures; and (c) if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that any such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce the TOU; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; (iv) respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) protect the rights, property, or safety of the Service, its users and the public.
Fruugo may record customer service or sales calls for training and quality standard purposes and collect other information related to the interaction between you and Fruugo and between you and the retailer represented by us.
6.YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form ("Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate and complete.
If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
Fruugo has a Protection of Minors Policy and in order to use the Service, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Fruugo has made it mandatory for third-party retailers using the Service to implement age verification processes for the sale of any age-restricted Products.
7.FRUUGO ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur on the Service under your password or account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your password or account and of any other breach of security in respect of the Service. Fruugo cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
8.PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY
As explained in Section 4 above, all Products displayed on the Service are sold by third-party independent retailers. Fruugo is neither the buyer nor the seller of the Products. Fruugo.com Ltd is the Service platform provider.
In our agreements with the retailers, the retailers have authorised Fruugo to conclude the sale of Products to customers. This means that depending on the transaction being completed, Fruugo.com Ltd or Fruugo (Ireland) Ltd has the authority from the retailers to bind the retailers to a sale of Products but this does not impact the parties which are contracting for the sale of the relevant Product. A contract formed on the completion of a sale of a Product through the Service 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 monitoring retailers' delivery processes in respect of sales made through the Service and customers' feedback of Products sold, however, Fruugo does not have any direct control over and does not handle or verify the individual Products or deliveries of Products sold on the Service.
When you place an order using the Service, 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, Fruugo 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. If an order has been marked as confirmed, cancellation may not be possible as the retailer begins the fulfilment process immediately once an order has been confirmed. Please see the Cancellation and Returns Policy for further information.
Fruugo 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. It is the retailer’s primary decision as to whether there is a legitimate entitlement to a refund. However, there are some limited circumstances in which we may decide to issue a refund and reclaim this amount from the retailer. Your payment will be processed by Fruugo.com Ltd or any wholly owned subsidiary of Fruugo.com Ltd (including Fruugo (Ireland) Ltd) and passed by us to the relevant retailer(s) in settlement of your debt to each retailer for purchases made by you through the Service.
Further instructions are given in the relevant chapters of the Fruugo Help Centre. 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.
9.COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS AND RULES
You must familiarise yourself with all applicable local laws and rules relating to online conduct, acceptable content and prohibited Products in the country in which you reside. You will be responsible for any customs charges, fines, penalties, sanctions or other expenses incurred pursuant to an order made by you if it is deemed to be illegal in the country in which you are ordering the Product.
We request that retailers check the Products available for sale on the Service are compatible for the consumer’s country of residence however, it is your responsibility to carefully review the Product description prior to placing an order.
As Fruugo is a global marketplace, some items may be listed on more than one Service. It is the responsibility of the seller and consumer to ensure that all laws and regulations concerning cross-border transactions are followed.

19. PROMOTIONAL CODES

20. REVIEWS
Fruugo does not display consumer reviews of Products on its Service. However, Fruugo does collect Trust Pilot reviews to allow users to reflect their experience. Users do not review individual Products but can review their experience of the Service.
Fruugo only accepts reviews with an order number attached to verify that all reviews are based on a genuine experience. If a review has been submitted without an order number, Fruugo will submit a request for additional information. If this request is not complied with then we will remove the review as we would be unable to confirm if it was from a verified purchaser.
21. HOW FRUUGO ONLINE SEARCH RESULTS ARE RANKED
The results from searches conducted on the Service are ranked using the following factors: relevancy (to the search query), historical sales and service performance of the relevant retailers, and the commission that Fruugo may earn from a retailer when an item is purchased. Where search results or the content of Product carousels or other promotional content on the Service are primarily influenced by payments made by retailers (Sponsored Content), this will be stated alongside the content or results.
22. VIOLATIONS
Please report any violations of the TOU to Fruugo customer care.
23. NOTICE
Notices to you may be made by either e-mail or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices of changes to the TOU or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices to you generally on the Service.
24. CANCELLATION
In most cases, it is not possible to cancel an order after it is placed as the fulfilment process begins immediately by retailers for most orders.
If it is possible to cancel your order, the retailer will advise you that they have been able to do this. If they are not able to cancel, for example, if your order has already been shipped, then you will need to wait for the delivery and return the goods in line with our returns policy.
Under applicable law, consumers based in the EU, EEA and UK have a right to withdraw from or cancel certain purchases for a refund. The right of withdrawal or cancellation (hereinafter jointly referred to as "right of withdrawal") allows EU/EEA/UK consumers to withdraw from their purchase of physical goods within 14 days from receipt of delivery and to return their purchase in exchange for a refund.
Separately, and without restricting the EU/EEA/UK right of withdrawal, Fruugo voluntarily offers a return period to all customers worldwide. Please see our Right of Withdrawal Policy for details of this process.
You must inform us of your decision to cancel your order as per our Returns, Refunds and Cancellations page. We recommend that you submit your request through our Interactive Help Centre, as this is the quickest way to request a cancellation, but for customers based in the EU, EEA and UK may, if preferred, please complete, print and post the model withdrawal form below (though this is not obligatory):
Please complete the following sections below the line, print and post the form to:
Customer Services Team, Fruugo.com Limited, Fountain Street House, Fountain Street, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 7EQ, United Kingdom.
To: Customer Services Team, Fruugo.com Limited, Fountain Street House, Fountain Street, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 7EQ, United Kingdom.
I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract of sale of the following goods:
Order number:
Ordered on:
Your name:
Your address:
Your Service account e-mail address:
Your signature:
Date:
You will also need to return your Product(s) to the retailer from which you purchased the goods to enable us to process your refund. This will be a different address to that above; you can do this through our interactive Help Centre.
DO NOT send your Products directly to Fruugo - this will delay your cancellation and refund.
25. DISPUTES AND GOVERNING JURISDICTION
Buyers and Sellers
If you find yourself in a dispute with another user of the Service or a third party, we encourage you to contact the other party and try to resolve the dispute amicably.
Any issues with a Product should primarily be raised directly with the retailer selling the Product.

At Fruugo’s sole and absolute discretion, Fruugo may attempt to help you resolve disputes in good faith, but we will not make judgements or determinations regarding legal issues or claims.

You agree to release Fruugo from any claims, demands, and damages arising out of disputes with other users or third parties.
