Dealing with customer orders, refunds and complaints

What we do when a customer orders

Customers ordering products from TijaraHub must click to accept our standard customer terms, which are linked to from the checkout page.

a customer orders one of your products from TijaraHub, we, acting as your agent in your name and on your behalf, will:

  • Send the customer an order acknowledgement email in our standard format.
  • Promptly inform you of the customer order via the customer interface
  • Unless you tell us that you can't fulfil an order within 48 hours, send the customer an order acceptance email in our standard format and so form a direct contract for you to supply your product to the customer on our standard customer terms. The contract is between you and the customer.
  • If you tell us that you can't fulfil an order, send the customer an order rejection email in our standard format.
  • Take payment for customer orders for your product [when we confirm acceptance of an order in your name and on your behalf OR when you tell us you're ready to despatch an order to the customer]. The supplier interface will tell you whether or not payment has been received for any order.

Our order acceptance email will serve as the customer's supply VAT and other applicable taxes (if any) receipt issued in your name and on your behalf. Our email will include all the information about the ordered product which you've included in your product listing as well as separately showing the VAT and other applicable taxes (if any) collected as part of the order. You're responsible for ensuring that this information meets legal information requirements and for compliance with all applicable legal, tax and regulatory requirements in connection with any customer receipt issued in your name.

Where a customer is tax registered, we will, where required by applicable law, provide you with the customer’s registration number and details of the relevant supply.

What you must do when we tell you about an order

we tell you about an order you must:

  • Using the supplier interface, tell us as soon as possible, and in any event within 48 hours, if you won't be able to supply the product.
  • In all other cases, subject to the supplier interface confirming that payment has been received from the customer, supply the product to the customer in the way and within at least the timescale set out in your product listing. You must let us know via the supplier interface when you're ready to despatch a product, as this is the point at which we take payment for the product from the customer.

Dealing with customer questions about orders

You must deal promptly and professionally with any customer questions about orders using the supplier interface. You must liaise with us if the question relates to any part of the process, we're involved in. You and we will co-operate with each other in trying to resolve any such questions.

Dealing with customer cancellations

We'll tell you if a consumer contacts us to cancel an order. When we do so, or when a consumer contacts you directly to cancel an order, the terms of return and refund set out in the Application Form will apply and you must comply with the returns and refunds policy and any further commitments you've made in your product listing or other marketing or advertising. You must promptly tell us of any refunds due to customers who have cancelled and these will be dealt with as described in How customers are refunded.

How you must handle customer complaints

We'll tell you if a customer complains to us about you or one of your products, including any complaints that products have not been delivered or that cancelled orders have not been refunded and provide you with all relevant details about the complaint.

You must deal with complaints we tell you about, and any complaints you receive directly from customers, in a way that complies with applicable law and honour any additional commitments or guarantees you've made in your product listing or other marketing or advertising.

[We offer assistance to suppliers and consumers to help them resolve disputes arising out of the supply or non-supply of products through TijaraHub. You agree to co-operate fully in this process, but you and any customer may at any time opt to refer any dispute separately as seller and purchaser of the products.

All of your communications with customers about complaints should be made through, or where this is not possible, accurately logged with, our supplier interface.

[If, in relation to any dispute with a customer, you don't engage in dispute resolution, as required by these terms and in good faith, then we may refund and/or compensate the customer on your behalf. We can also do this if you don't abide by any commitment you've made during dispute resolution, any settlement reached through mediation or any ruling made by a court or other competent authority. Refunds will be handled as set out in How customers are refunded. You must reimburse us for payments made in compensation, see When you must pay our invoices.

See also 9 (Claims and actions against us in connection with you or your products).

How customer reviews are collected and displayed

We and you agree to use our best efforts to make sure that customer reviews on TijaraHub are from customers who have bought products and tried them and who are not connected with the relevant supplier or in any way encouraged or incentivised to post a favourable review.

We use the supplier interface to invite customers to whom your products have been delivered to review your products and to remind them of this invitation more than once.

Customers submitting a review do so in a prescribed format which may involve a free text box. Our software may block language in customer reviews which is not permitted under our acceptable use policy but we don't guarantee that it will do so. You're responsible for checking reviews for compliance with our acceptable use policy and telling us if you consider that a review breaches it. If we agree, we'll remove the review from the site and inform the customer we've done so.

You may respond to reviews using the customer interface, provided your response complies with our acceptable use policy. We'll publish your response below the review unless we reasonably think that it doesn't comply with our acceptable use policy (we may remove responses on this basis at any time after they have been published).

You mustn't directly or indirectly contact customers (whether through the supplier interface or using any other contact details you have for customers) either to encourage them to submit any review or a favourable review or to change or withdraw a review. You must not encourage customers to submit reviews of products they have purchased on TijaraHub anywhere other than on TijaraHub.

See When you must pay our invoices.

You can share the urls for your listings and supplier pages and state that your products can be bought on TijaraHub. However, you can't use the TijaraHub stylised name or logos either on their own or in combination with another word or use the TijaraHub name in your social media profile name or photo. You also can't create content with the same look or feel as that of TijaraHub.

Suspension of listings, ending this agreement and disputes

When we'll suspend your listings or end this agreement

We can suspend or restrict any individual listing you make on TijaraHub if we become aware, or have reason to believe, that what you've told us about your product or said about your product in the listing for it is not true or up to date or that the product or the listing doesn't comply with these terms, including our policies (see The policies which form part of these terms) or is otherwise unlawful.

We can end this agreement and your rights to use TijaraHub for any of the following reasons:

  • You've not complied with these terms, including the policies referred to in them and your non-compliance is more than trivial or is repeated.
  • You've not paid one of our invoices by the due date (see When you must pay our invoices).
  • You've become insolvent or you suspend, threaten to suspend, cease or threaten to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of your business or your financial position deteriorates to such an extent that we think your ability to fulfil your obligations under this agreement is at risk.
  • We reasonably consider that our continuing to provide services to you could expose TijaraHub to disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule, or would tend to shock, insult or offend the public or reflect unfavourably on TijaraHub's reputation or the other suppliers selling on TijaraHub.
  • We decide to stop providing TijaraHub or to stop selling your type of products on TijaraHub.

We'll give you at least 30 days' notice that we are ending this agreement unless:

  • Our legal, tax or regulatory obligations require us to end this agreement without such notice.
  • It's imperative for us to end this agreement either immediately or on shorter notice. For example, we may end this agreement with immediate effect if you become insolvent or we discover that your products are unsafe or counterfeit or present a danger to minors or if we reasonably suspect you of fraud or of using TijaraHub to spam others.
  • You've repeatedly broken this agreement.

If we're suspending or restricting an individual listing or ending this agreement, we'll normally give you a written statement of the specific facts or circumstances which led to our decision and which of these terms we consider you've broken. If we're acting in response to a notification from someone else, we'll also share the contents of that notification with you. However, we won't give you such a statement if:

  • We're subject to a legal, tax or regulatory obligation not to provide the specific facts or circumstances or to set out our reasons.
  • We're ending this agreement because you've repeatedly broken it.
