1. INTRODUCTION

1.2.    These Marketplace Terms, including any document incorporated by reference herein, including, but not limited to the Terms and Conditions (collectively, the “Terms”) apply to the Vendor and Customer making use of the Marketplace.

1.3.    Selling goods or services to a Customer through the use of the Marketplace after the Effective Date will signify that the Vendor has read, understands, accepts, and agrees to be bound, and are bound, by these Marketplace Terms in such Vendor’s individual capacity and/or for and on behalf of any entity for whom the Vendor utilises the Marketplace. Further, the Vendor represents and warrants that the Vendor has the authority to do so and that in the case of a Vendor being a natural person, the Vendor is a Competent Person (as defined in the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013, as amended).

1.4.     To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may modify the Marketplace Terms with prospective effect with or without prior notice to Vendors, and any revisions to the Marketplace Terms shall be noted within such Marketplace Terms and will take effect when posted on the Website, unless a later date is otherwise stated in the revised Marketplace Terms. A Vendor’s continued sale of goods to Customers utilising the Marketplace will be construed as a Vendor’s consent to the amended or updated Marketplace Terms, and will be conditional upon the Terms in force at the time of use. A Vendor’s only remedy, should such Vendor not agree to these Marketplace Terms, is to no longer make use of the Marketplace.

1.5.    We do not accept any Vendors, or representatives of Vendors, under the age of majority or who otherwise do not have the relevant capacity to be bound by the Marketplace Terms, unless such Vendor has, through their parent or guardian, consented to the terms hereof.

3. MARKETPLACE SERVICES

Good Food Network’s staff and other electronic systems do not have any access to card numbers or other financial information at any time;
