(hereinafter “Achachay,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) offers and provides to sellers and buyers of products (each a “Seller” or a “Buyer,” and collectively “Users”) via its platform Achachay Shop.
By registering, accepting, or otherwise using the Achachay Shop platform to list, browse, or purchase products, you agree to abide by and be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions.
1. Acceptance
- When a Seller, by any means, signs up, registers, or begins to use the Achachay Shop platform, engages in activities that lead to fulfillment of a purchase order, or otherwise uses the Marketplace Service, that constitutes unconditional acceptance of these Terms & Conditions.
- These Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided through Achachay Shop unless otherwise explicitly stated.
- No other prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, supersede these Terms unless explicitly acknowledged in writing by Achachay.
2. Modifications
- Achachay reserves the right to modify or update these Terms & Conditions or any aspect of the Marketplace Service.
- Any material changes will be communicated via one or more of the following: (i) direct notice to Sellers/Buyers, (ii) announcements on the website, or (iii) platform notifications, with at least seven (7) calendar days’ notice before such changes become effective.
- Continued use of the Marketplace Service after modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
3. Notifications & Communication
- All notices or communications between Achachay and a User must be in writing (which may include electronic communications).
- Notices shall be deemed given and effective as follows:
a. If delivered in person — on delivery.
b. If sent by postal mail — upon delivery to the return address.
c. If sent by email — at the time of dispatch, provided confirmation of delivery or receipt is obtained, unless otherwise agreed.
4. Business Model & Role of Achachay
- Achachay provides a B2B Marketplace Service enabling Sellers to list products and Buyers to purchase them directly on the platform or receive custom quotes and engage with our sales teams to fulfill orders.
- The Marketplace Service may involve phases or modules (e.g. listing, marketing, content upload) as determined by Achachay.
- Sellers are responsible for delivering complete, accurate, and timely product information (images, descriptions, specs, compliance documentation, etc.). Achachay may assist with encoding or listing, but is not liable for content omissions or delays caused by Sellers.
- Achachay may, where applicable and by agreement, participate in or coordinate advertising, marketing, or promotional campaigns. The terms and execution must be agreed in writing in advance between Achachay and the Seller.
- Achachay will agree on pricing with Sellers during initial contracts and publishing discounts or bids; Achachay may propose or enforce formatting or structural guidelines.
5. Shipping, Risk & Logistics
- Once and order is placed by a Buyer – Achachay submits order to Seller to cordinate international dispatch details and makes sure Buyer is informed about the status of their order.
- When order is ready, Achachay receives goods in local warehouse and handles merchandise dispatch through preferred and pre-selected shipping providers. Orders can also be directly dispatched from Sellers factory/warehouses.
- If Achachay receives merchandise and dispatches order using preferred courier partner – the risk of loss, damage, or delay in transit rests with Achachay until the Buyer receives the goods at the agreed delivery point.
6. Delivery Delays & Associated Costs
- Achachay extends preferential shipping fees through pre-selected logistics partners. However, Buyer/Retailer is responsible for paying shipping + tariff fees in addition to merchandise costs. If delivery delays result in extra costs (e.g., storage, penalties) the responsible party (Seller or Buyer) must bear them.
- In case of disputes between Seller and Buyer over responsibility, if unresolved within three (3) days, Achachay may determine responsibility in its discretion.
