Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: October 4, 2025

Welcome to http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you don’t agree with any part of these terms, please don’t use our platform.

We’ve written this page to be clear, not full of legal jargon. If something doesn’t make sense, reach out to us and we’ll explain it in plain language.

1. About http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop

http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop is an online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of fairly used items across Nigeria. We provide a space for individuals and small businesses to list, discover, and transact on items that are pre-owned but still in good condition.

We are not the seller of the items listed on our platform unless clearly stated. Our role is to provide the platform, tools, and visibility. The actual sale agreement is between the buyer and the seller.

2. Eligibility to Use the Platform

To post listings or make purchases on http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop, you must:

Be at least 18 years old or have permission from a parent or guardian.
Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account or listing.
Use the platform only for lawful purposes.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules or that we believe are being used fraudulently.

3. Your Responsibilities as a Seller

If you post items for sale on http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop, you agree to the following:

Accurate Listings: Describe your item truthfully. Include the correct condition, brand, model, and any defects. If it’s “fairly used,” don’t list it as “brand new.” Misleading listings will be removed without notice.
Original Photos: Upload real photos of the item you’re selling. Stock photos, heavily edited images, or photos taken from other websites are not allowed. Buyers need to see what they’re actually getting.
Pricing and Availability: List a fair price and keep your listing updated. If an item is sold elsewhere, take it down from our site. Leaving old listings up wastes everyone’s time.
Communication: Respond to buyer inquiries in a timely and respectful manner. Ghosting buyers damages trust on the platform.
Prohibited Items: You cannot list items that are illegal, stolen, counterfeit, weapons, medical devices requiring prescription, adult content, or anything that violates Nigerian law. If we’re unsure, we’ll ask you for proof of ownership.

Violating these rules can lead to your listings being removed and your account being restricted.

4. Your Responsibilities as a Buyer

When you buy through http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop, remember that you’re dealing directly with another user. We encourage you to:

Ask Questions First: Confirm the condition, functionality, and history of the item before paying. Ask for more photos or a video if needed.
Inspect Before Payment: Where possible, inspect the item physically before completing payment. For delivery, agree on a safe meetup point.
Be Respectful: Treat sellers with courtesy. Don’t waste their time with lowball offers far below the asking price unless the listing says “negotiable.”

http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop does not hold payments or guarantee transactions between users. We recommend meeting in public places and using secure payment methods.

5. Content and Intellectual Property

Any text, photos, and details you upload to http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop remain your property. However, by posting them, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, store, and promote your content on our site and associated social media channels for the purpose of operating the platform.

You agree not to upload content that infringes on someone else’s copyright, trademark, or privacy. If you see content that you believe infringes your rights, contact us with details and we’ll review it.

All branding, logos, and software on FairlyUsedMarket.shop are our property and cannot be copied or reused without permission.

6. Listing Approval and Moderation

Every listing goes through a basic review before it goes live. This helps us keep spam, scams, and low-quality posts off the site.

We may reject or remove listings that:

Are duplicates or copied from other sites
Contain false or misleading information
Are too short or provide no useful detail
Fall under our prohibited items list
Use offensive language or images

We aim to review listings within 24 hours, but during busy periods it may take longer. If your listing is rejected, we’ll try to tell you why so you can fix and resubmit it.

7. Fees and Payments

Currently, listing items on http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop is free for individual sellers. For commercial sellers or bulk listings, we may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, we’ll give you 30 days’ notice before any charges apply.

We do not process payments between buyers and sellers. All payment arrangements are made directly between the two parties. Be cautious of anyone asking you to pay outside the agreed method or to send money for “delivery fees” to an unknown account.

8. Limitation of Liability

FairlyUsedMarket.shop acts as a platform only. We do not inspect every item, and we cannot guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of items listed by users.

We are not liable for:

Losses or damages arising from transactions between users
Disputes over item condition, delivery, or payment
Technical issues, downtime, or errors on the website

You use the platform at your own risk. Always exercise caution, especially when meeting new people or making payments.

9. Privacy

Your privacy matters. When you create an account or post a listing, we collect only the information needed to run the platform: your name, email, phone number, and location.

We do not sell your data to third parties. For full details on how we collect, store, and use your information, see our Privacy Policy page.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. When we update them, we’ll change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

If the changes are significant, we’ll notify you by email or through a notice on the website. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the new terms.

11. Account Termination

You can delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may also suspend or terminate accounts that:

Repeatedly violate these terms
Post fraudulent or harmful content
Attempt to disrupt the platform’s operation

If your account is terminated, any active listings will be removed, and you will lose access to the platform.

12. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising from your use of http://FairlyUsedMarket.shop will be handled in the courts of Nigeria.
