1. Introduction

Welcome to Vestrend. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Vestrend platform, including our website, mobile applications, and any related services provided through them (collectively, the “Platform”).

By creating an account, accessing, browsing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.

Vestrend is a digital marketplace that connects independent sellers with consumers by providing an online platform through which sellers can display, promote, and sell their products. Vestrend facilitates product discovery, order placement, and communication between the relevant parties but, unless expressly stated otherwise, is not the owner, manufacturer, importer, distributor, or retailer of the products offered for sale on the Platform.

To facilitate order fulfillment, Vestrend may integrate with one or more third-party Delivery Partners.

These Terms apply to every person or entity accessing or using the Platform, whether as a visitor, consumer, registered seller, or any other type of user.

Vestrend reserves the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time. Any changes will become effective upon publication on the Platform unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Platform after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. About Vestrend

Vestrend is an online marketplace designed to connect independent sellers with consumers through a centralized digital platform accessible via the web and mobile applications.

The Platform enables Sellers to create and manage product listings, receive purchase orders, and monitor the fulfillment of those orders. Consumers may browse available products, place orders, and track the progress of their purchases through the Platform.

Vestrend acts solely as an intermediary technology provider. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Vestrend does not manufacture, own, stock, inspect, distribute, or sell the products listed on the Platform. All products are offered directly by independent Sellers, who remain solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings, product quality, pricing, legality, warranties, and compliance with applicable laws.

At the time these Terms become effective, Maystro Delivery is the primary Delivery Partner integrated with the Platform. Vestrend reserves the right to add, remove, or replace Delivery Partners at its sole discretion without requiring amendments to these Terms.

Vestrend continuously develops and improves its services and therefore reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or introduce new features, functionalities, or services at any time, with or without prior notice, where permitted by applicable law.
