2. Seller Accounts
Our website includes an online marketplace where third-party businesses and organisations (Sellers) can list goods and services (Products) for sale to users of our website (Customers).
To list Products for sale to Customers via our website, you first need to open a seller account with us (Seller Account).
You are not permitted to access or use our website to list Products for sale if you do not have a Seller Account or if your Seller Account is suspended or cancelled.
You can open a Seller Account using the relevant signup process on our website. You must provide complete and accurate information when opening your Seller Account, and you must ensure that your Seller Account details are kept up-to-date at all times.
When you open a Seller Account, a binding agreement is created between us and you incorporating these Seller Terms. You must confirm that you accept these Seller Terms when opening your Seller Account. You are deemed to accept these Seller Terms if one of your employees, contractors or agents opens a Seller Account on your behalf.
You must keep the details of your Seller Account secret and secure, including all user emails and passwords for your Seller Account. You are solely responsible for the user activity that occurs in relation to your Seller Account. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any suspected or actual breach of security or unauthorised use of your Seller Account.
Your Seller Account is personal to you, and you must not transfer your Seller Account to anyone else.
Individuals under 18 years old are not permitted to open Seller Accounts.
3. User Accounts
Your Seller Account relates to your access to and use of our website as a Seller. Any individual users who are associated with your Seller Account (including you if you are a sole trader Seller) will need to open a separate user account via the relevant signup process on our website (User Account). Separate terms apply to User Accounts, which you can read on the Seller Terms page.
4. Dealing with Customers
Whenever you sell a Product to a Customer via our website, you are entering into an agreement directly with that Customer. We are not a party to any agreements you enter into with Customers. We are not responsible for performing background checks on Customers (including checks on Customers' financial situation).
You must comply with any agreements you enter into with Customers, including any separate terms you agree to when selling Products to Customers. However, your agreements with Customers must not contain terms that are contrary to or that conflict with these Seller Terms.
If you have a dispute with a Customer, you will need to resolve the dispute directly with the Customer. We do not provide any dispute resolution services in relation to the agreements you enter into with Customers, and we are not responsible for resolving any disputes you have with Customers about any Products they buy from you via our website.
You must comply with all applicable laws in respect of any Products you promote or sell via our website, including your obligations under the Australian Consumer Law.

We may remove and take down any promotional materials that we believe, in our absolute discretion, are inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise inappropriate (including promotional materials that relate to inappropriate Products).
5. Fees and payment
You must pay us a subscription fee (payable annually or on a monthly basis) to list Products on our website. We do not refund subscription fees when you change your mind and decide to stop using your Seller Account. You must also pay fees each time you sell a Product to a Customer.
