About Daivavarna

Daivavarna is a curated multi-vendor marketplace intended to connect Customers with individuals, artisans, farmers, home-based producers, businesses, teachers, practitioners, service providers, Hosts, Event Organizers, Employers, traditional institutions, and other approved participants offering Products and Services consistent with Daivavarna’s traditional, devotional, natural-living, cultural, educational, artisan, agricultural, and community-oriented purpose.

Products and Services offered through Daivavarna may include natural-fiber clothing, household and living Products, Deity worship articles, Sattvic foods, naturally farmed produce, Ayurveda Products and qualified practitioner Services, astrology Services, scriptures and approved books, traditional Classes, handmade arts and crafts, local Services, Accommodations, Events, employment opportunities, and other offerings approved by Daivavarna.

Daivavarna is not intended to operate as an unrestricted general-purpose marketplace. Certain Products, Services, activities, materials, and categories are prohibited or restricted. Products or Services involving illegal goods, counterfeit goods, unsafe or recalled Products, prohibited intoxicants, unlawful weapons, unlawful wildlife materials, fraudulent Services, unqualified regulated Services, prohibited electrical or battery-powered Products, or other offerings inconsistent with Daivavarna’s Marketplace Policies may not be offered.

Each Vendor is subject to these General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement and, where applicable, the Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy, Marketplace Policies, and Supplemental Category Terms applicable to the categories in which the Vendor operates.

1. AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

1.1 Binding Agreement

These General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement, together with the policies and Supplemental Terms incorporated into them, constitute a binding agreement between the Vendor and the entity operating the Daivavarna Marketplace.

By registering as a Vendor, submitting a Vendor application, accepting these Terms electronically, accessing a Vendor dashboard after approval, listing or attempting to list a Product or Service, or otherwise using Daivavarna in the capacity of a Vendor, the Vendor agrees to be bound by these Terms.

1.2 Incorporated Policies

The following documents, to the extent applicable to the Vendor’s activities, are incorporated into and form part of this Agreement: the Daivavarna Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy; Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy; Shipping, Delivery, Local Pickup and International Orders Policy; Prohibited and Restricted Products, Services and Activities Policy; Product Safety and Recall Policy; Intellectual Property Policy; Reviews and Community Content Policy; Privacy Policy; and all applicable Supplemental Category Terms.

Where the Vendor separately acts as a Customer, the Customer Terms may also apply to that person in that separate capacity.

1.3 Supplemental Category Terms

A Vendor may not offer Products or Services within a category unless the Vendor has accepted the current Supplemental Terms applicable to that category and has received any category approval required by Daivavarna.

Supplemental Category Terms become part of this Agreement once accepted by the Vendor.

Where a specific Supplemental Category Term conflicts with these General Vendor Terms concerning a matter unique to that category, the more specific category provision shall ordinarily govern that matter.

1.4 Marketplace Policies

Daivavarna may maintain Marketplace Policies governing shipping, returns, Product safety, prohibited Products and Services, reviews, intellectual property, payments, privacy, category eligibility, Marketplace conduct, and other operational matters.

The Vendor agrees to comply with each Marketplace Policy applicable to the Vendor’s activities.

2. VENDOR ELIGIBILITY AND REGISTRATION

2.1 Legal Capacity

A Vendor must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. Unless Applicable Law permits otherwise and Daivavarna expressly approves an alternative arrangement, a Vendor must be at least eighteen years of age.

2.2 Individuals and Businesses

Daivavarna may permit both individuals and legally registered businesses to operate as Vendors where lawful.

An individual is not required to form a separate company solely because Daivavarna permits that person to sell through the Marketplace. The Vendor remains responsible for determining whether Applicable Law requires business registration, licensing, tax registration, permits, insurance, or another legal form.

An individual Vendor operating without a separate limited-liability entity remains personally responsible for the Vendor’s obligations to the extent provided by Applicable Law.

2.3 Accurate Registration Information

The Vendor shall provide complete, current, and truthful information during registration and verification.

The Vendor shall not impersonate another person or business, provide false identification, conceal a material ownership interest, or use another person’s banking, tax, business, licensing, or qualification information without lawful authorization.

2.4 Account Security

The Vendor is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of account credentials and for activity occurring through the Vendor account, except to the extent Applicable Law provides otherwise.

The Vendor shall promptly notify Daivavarna if the Vendor reasonably believes the account has been compromised, accessed without authorization, or used fraudulently.

2.5 Multiple Accounts

Daivavarna may restrict duplicate or multiple Vendor accounts where they are used to evade suspension, fees, reviews, verification, category restrictions, payment obligations, enforcement action, or other Marketplace requirements.

3. VENDOR APPROVAL AND VERIFICATION

3.1 Manual Vendor Approval

Registration as a Vendor does not automatically authorize the Vendor to begin selling.

Every Vendor is subject to Daivavarna approval before offering Products or Services through the Marketplace.

Daivavarna may approve, deny, defer, condition, suspend, or revoke Vendor participation based upon Marketplace suitability, identity verification, legal compliance, safety, risk, category eligibility, payment-provider requirements, or other legitimate Marketplace considerations.

3.2 Verification Information

Daivavarna may request information reasonably necessary to verify the Vendor, including identity documents, residential or business address, telephone number, email address, business-registration information, tax information, beneficial-ownership information, banking or payout information, licenses, permits, insurance, professional qualifications, certificates, supplier information, references, or comparable documentation.

3.3 Additional Verification

Daivavarna may require enhanced verification for Vendors offering higher-risk Products or Services, including food, Ayurveda Products, practitioner Services, body-use Products, Accommodations, Events, Services involving Customer property, Products intended for children, imported Products, or other categories identified by Daivavarna.

3.4 Reverification

Daivavarna may require the Vendor to update, renew, or reverify previously supplied information.

The Vendor shall promptly notify Daivavarna of material changes affecting identity, ownership, business status, license, permit, registration, qualification, insurance, bank account, tax status, or ability to lawfully perform Marketplace obligations.

3.5 Legally Required Marketplace Verification

Where Applicable Law requires Daivavarna to collect, verify, certify, retain, or disclose particular information concerning a qualifying Marketplace Seller, the Vendor shall cooperate with reasonable requests necessary for Daivavarna to satisfy those obligations.

Failure to provide required information may result in restriction or suspension.

4. CATEGORY APPROVAL

4.1 Separate Category Authorization

General Vendor approval does not authorize the Vendor to operate in every Daivavarna category.

A Vendor may operate only in categories for which applicable requirements have been satisfied.

4.2 Acceptance of Category Terms

When the Vendor selects a category for which the Vendor has not previously accepted the current Supplemental Category Terms, Daivavarna may require the Vendor to review and electronically accept those Terms before submitting or publishing a Listing within that category.

Daivavarna may retain the Vendor ID, category, agreement version, acceptance date and time, and other lawful evidence of acceptance.

4.3 Multiple Categories

A Vendor may be approved for more than one category.

Approval or acceptance relating to one category does not constitute approval for another category.

4.4 Category Review

Daivavarna may require additional information before approving a Vendor for a particular category.

Food Vendors may be required to provide food-business, home-kitchen, cottage-food, permit, facility, or food-safety information. Practitioners may be required to provide qualifications or professional registrations. Teachers may be required to provide evidence of training or experience. Accommodation Hosts may be required to provide information concerning the property and lawful operation. Other categories may be subject to comparable requirements appropriate to their risk and nature.

4.5 Category Suspension

Daivavarna may suspend or revoke authorization for a particular category without necessarily terminating the Vendor’s entire account.

5. PRODUCT AND SERVICE APPROVAL

5.1 Ordinary Listings

After Vendor and category approval, ordinary lower-risk Products or Services may generally be eligible for publication without individual manual approval, subject to Marketplace settings and moderation.

5.2 Higher-Risk Listings

Daivavarna may require individual Product or Service approval where an offering presents elevated legal, health, safety, authenticity, regulatory, financial, or Marketplace risk.

5.3 Pending Review

Where Product-level approval is required, the Vendor shall not offer or represent the Product as approved until Daivavarna has completed the required review.

5.4 Continuing Review

Daivavarna may review a Listing after publication and may require modification, additional evidence, suspension, or removal even where the Listing was previously permitted.

Marketplace approval does not constitute a guarantee that a Product or Service satisfies every legal requirement applicable to the Vendor.

6. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

6.1 Responsible Seller or Provider

Except where Daivavarna expressly identifies itself as the Seller or Provider of a particular offering, the Vendor remains responsible for the Product or Service offered under the Vendor’s Listing.

The Vendor is responsible for legality, quality, safety, authenticity, description, pricing, availability, fulfillment, customer service, and compliance with Applicable Law.

6.2 Legal Compliance

The Vendor shall comply with Applicable Laws governing the Vendor’s activities, including laws concerning Products, Services, advertising, labeling, food, health, professional practice, consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, privacy, safety, import and export, taxation, and commercial activity.

6.3 Licenses and Permits

Where a Product, Service, occupation, facility, kitchen, property, Event, professional activity, or other Marketplace activity requires a license, permit, registration, inspection, certification, or authorization, the Vendor is responsible for obtaining and maintaining it.

6.4 Professional Qualifications

A Vendor shall not offer regulated professional Services without any qualification, license, registration, or authorization required by Applicable Law.

Where Daivavarna imposes its own qualification standards beyond minimum legal requirements, the Vendor must also satisfy those standards.

7. LISTING STANDARDS

7.1 Accuracy

Every Listing must be truthful, sufficiently complete, and not materially misleading.

The Vendor shall not omit information where the omission would make the Listing materially deceptive.

7.2 Product Information

Where applicable, the Vendor shall accurately describe material, composition, ingredients, dimensions, quantity, condition, origin, intended use, production method, included components, limitations, care instructions, warnings, processing time, and other material characteristics.

7.3 Service Information

A Service Listing shall accurately describe the scope of work, Provider qualifications, location or remote format, duration, pricing, scheduling, cancellation terms, material exclusions, and other important conditions.

7.4 Photographs and Media

Images and video must reasonably represent the Product, Service, property, Event, or other offering.

The Vendor shall not use editing, stock imagery, AI-generated imagery, or other techniques in a manner that materially misrepresents what is actually being offered.

7.5 Artificial Intelligence

Artificial-intelligence tools may be used for lawful assistance only where resulting content remains accurate and compliant.

The Vendor shall not use artificial intelligence to fabricate Products, qualifications, certifications, Customer reviews, temple provenance, sacred status, professional experience, Product testing, safety evidence, or other material information.

7.6 Material Claims

Claims such as “natural,” “organic,” “Sattvic,” “Ayurvedic,” “handmade,” “traditional,” “eco-friendly,” “non-toxic,” “temple-made,” “blessed,” “certified,” “authentic,” or comparable claims must have a reasonable factual basis.

8. PRICING

8.1 Accurate Pricing

The Vendor shall clearly state the price or pricing method applicable to the Product or Service.

8.2 Mandatory Charges

Mandatory Vendor-controlled charges must be disclosed in accordance with Marketplace requirements and Applicable Law.

The Vendor shall not advertise an artificially low price while concealing unavoidable charges.

8.3 Quotes and Variable Services

Where a Service requires a quote, the Vendor shall clearly disclose what the quoted amount includes and circumstances under which additional charges may apply.

Material changes to an agreed Service price should be communicated to and accepted by the Customer before additional work is undertaken where reasonably practicable.

8.4 Taxes

Tax treatment shall be governed by the Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy, Applicable Law, and applicable payment-provider requirements.

9. ORDERS, BOOKINGS AND PERFORMANCE

9.1 Accepted Transactions

A Vendor shall fulfill accepted Orders and bookings according to the Listing and applicable Marketplace requirements.

9.2 Availability

The Vendor shall make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate inventory, booking availability, Service availability, and capacity information.

9.3 Vendor Cancellation

A Vendor shall not routinely accept Orders or bookings the Vendor is unable or unwilling to fulfill.

Where cancellation is necessary, the Vendor shall promptly notify the Customer and comply with applicable refund requirements.

9.4 Customer Communication

The Vendor shall reasonably respond to Customers concerning active Orders, bookings, Services, returns, safety concerns, or disputes.

9.5 Material Substitutions

The Vendor shall not materially substitute Products, materials, Services, accommodations, dates, locations, quantities, or agreed specifications without appropriate Customer consent, except where otherwise permitted by Applicable Law or Marketplace Policy.

10. SHIPPING, LOCAL DELIVERY AND PICKUP

Physical Products are governed by the Shipping, Delivery, Local Pickup and International Orders Policy.

Unless Daivavarna expressly provides fulfillment for a particular Order, the Vendor is responsible for appropriate packaging, labeling, shipment, local delivery, or pickup arrangements.

The Vendor shall provide reasonable processing or production periods and distinguish them from carrier transit times where relevant.

Where Marketplace Policy or transaction value requires tracking, the Vendor shall provide valid tracking information. Fabricated, unrelated, reused, or misleading tracking information is prohibited.

The Vendor shall package Products appropriately considering breakage, leakage, contamination, moisture, heat, impact, perishability, and other reasonably foreseeable transportation risks.

International shipments may be made only where supported by Daivavarna and lawful under applicable export, import, customs, sanctions, carrier, and destination-country requirements.

11. RETURNS, REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS

The Vendor shall comply with the Daivavarna Returns, Refunds and Cancellation Policy.

Where Daivavarna allows a Vendor to select a return period, the Vendor must use an approved Marketplace option and shall not impose hidden or conflicting return terms.

A “Non-Returnable,” “Final Sale,” or comparable designation applies only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and Marketplace Policy and does not eliminate Customer remedies concerning materially defective, unsafe, counterfeit, wrong, materially damaged, materially misdescribed, or otherwise legally nonconforming Products.

For Daivavarna-Processed Transactions, Daivavarna may issue a qualifying full or partial refund without separate Vendor permission where available evidence reasonably establishes Customer entitlement under Marketplace Policy or Applicable Law.

Where the Customer paid the Vendor directly outside Daivavarna in a transaction permitted by the Marketplace, the Vendor remains responsible for refunds legally or contractually owed.

12. FEES AND PAYMENT PROCESSING

The Vendor shall comply with the Daivavarna Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy.

Daivavarna may use different fee structures for different categories. Certain categories may be subject to percentage commissions, while others may use fixed monthly, subscription, membership, Listing, or comparable fees.

Independent payment-processing, card, gateway, bank, cross-border, foreign-exchange, refund, chargeback, payout, and similar costs are separate from Daivavarna Marketplace fees unless expressly stated otherwise.

Unless a specific plan expressly provides otherwise, Daivavarna is not required to absorb third-party financial costs incurred in collecting, converting, refunding, disputing, or transferring Vendor funds.

Certain approved categories may permit direct Customer-to-Vendor payments. Applicable subscription, Listing, or other Marketplace fees may continue to apply even where Daivavarna does not process the Customer payment.

13. VENDOR PROCEEDS AND PAYOUTS

Customer payment does not automatically make corresponding Vendor proceeds immediately withdrawable.

For qualifying physical Product transactions, proceeds may remain pending until delivery and completion of the applicable Initial Marketplace Protection Period.

Daivavarna may apply a seven-day post-delivery Initial Marketplace Protection Period before ordinary physical Product proceeds become eligible for withdrawal. This funds-release period is separate from any longer Customer return period.

Service, Accommodation, Event, Class, and other proceeds may become eligible according to the completion, check-in, checkout, Event occurrence, cancellation risk, or other applicable rules established by the Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy.

Once proceeds satisfy applicable release requirements, they may become Eligible Proceeds, subject to reserves, disputes, chargebacks, verification, legal holds, provider requirements, and minimum payout conditions.

Daivavarna may automatically initiate payout of eligible unwithdrawn proceeds according to the applicable payout schedule.

Unless Daivavarna expressly establishes a legally compliant escrow arrangement, Pending Proceeds shall not be represented as formal escrow.

14. RESERVES, HOLDS AND NEGATIVE BALANCES

Daivavarna may temporarily hold or delay Vendor funds where reasonably necessary because of fraud concerns, disputes, refunds, chargebacks, safety issues, account verification, legal requirements, payment-provider restrictions, or elevated financial risk.

Daivavarna may establish reasonable reserves for Vendors or categories presenting increased refund, chargeback, cancellation, fulfillment, or financial risk.

The Vendor remains responsible for valid negative balances resulting from refunds, chargebacks, fees, taxes, payment adjustments, or other legitimate deductions.

Daivavarna may recover amounts properly owed from future Vendor proceeds, reserves, authorized billing methods, or other lawful mechanisms described in applicable Marketplace Policies.

15. TAXES

The Vendor is responsible for determining and satisfying taxes arising from the Vendor’s business and income, except where Daivavarna or another party is legally required to collect, report, withhold, or remit particular amounts.

The Vendor shall provide accurate tax information reasonably required by Daivavarna or an authorized payment provider.

Where Applicable Law requires withholding from Vendor payouts, Daivavarna or the payment provider may withhold the required amount. Such withholding is not a Daivavarna Marketplace fee.

16. PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Vendor shall comply with the Daivavarna Prohibited and Restricted Products, Services and Activities Policy.

Without limiting that policy, Vendors shall not offer illegal Products or Services, stolen goods, counterfeit goods, unlawfully recalled Products, illegal wildlife materials, prohibited controlled substances, fraudulent Services, unlawfully provided regulated professional Services, or other offerings prohibited by Daivavarna.

Unless a future specialized approval program is established, electrical, electronic, and battery-powered Products are prohibited at launch.

A Product or Service may be prohibited from a particular Daivavarna category even if legally available elsewhere.

A Vendor shall not deliberately miscategorize, rename, disassemble, alter, or conceal the true nature of a Product or Service in order to evade Marketplace restrictions.

17. PRODUCT SAFETY AND RECALLS

The Vendor is responsible for ensuring that Products are reasonably safe for their intended and represented use and comply with applicable Product-safety requirements.

Where a Product requires instructions, warnings, age restrictions, storage conditions, preparation requirements, installation information, or other safety information, the Vendor shall provide it where required.

The Vendor shall promptly notify Daivavarna if the Vendor learns that a Product may present a serious safety risk, dangerous defect, contamination issue, recall, or other material safety concern.

The Vendor shall cooperate with Daivavarna, Customers, manufacturers, distributors, carriers, and competent authorities concerning lawful recalls or corrective actions.

Daivavarna may immediately suspend or remove a Product where reasonably necessary to protect Customers or satisfy legal obligations.

18. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Vendor must possess sufficient rights to sell Products and use photographs, text, artwork, trademarks, logos, designs, translations, digital files, and other content included in Listings.

Counterfeit Products are prohibited.

Unauthorized reproductions, pirated digital content, unlawful copies of books, copied artwork, copied photographs, unauthorized courses, and other infringing materials are prohibited.

Traditional or religious subject matter does not automatically eliminate intellectual-property rights in modern artwork, translations, commentaries, photographs, designs, editions, or other protected expressions.

By uploading authorized content to Daivavarna, the Vendor grants Daivavarna a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, for so long as reasonably necessary to operate and promote the Marketplace and the Vendor’s Listings, to host, technically reproduce, resize, format, display, distribute within Marketplace interfaces, and promote the authorized content.

The Vendor otherwise retains applicable ownership rights, subject to third-party rights.

19. REVIEWS AND MARKETPLACE CONTENT

The Vendor shall not create, purchase, arrange, fabricate, or manipulate false Customer reviews or ratings.

The Vendor shall not condition payment, discounts, free Products, benefits, or other incentives upon a Customer providing a positive or negative review.

Owners, employees, agents, relatives, or others with a material relationship to a Vendor shall not submit reviews deceptively presented as independent Customer reviews.

The Vendor shall not threaten, harass, intimidate, or retaliate against a Customer merely because the Customer submitted a legitimate negative review.

A Vendor may professionally respond to reviews but shall not publicly disclose confidential Customer information.

20. CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND PRIVACY

The Vendor may access Customer Personal Information only to the extent reasonably necessary for Marketplace transactions and other authorized purposes.

Customer information may be used, where appropriate, for Order fulfillment, shipping, delivery, booking, Customer communication, legal compliance, safety, returns, dispute resolution, and related authorized Marketplace functions.

The Vendor shall not use Customer information for unauthorized marketing, harassment, sale of Personal Information, unrelated mailing lists, public disclosure, or other purposes inconsistent with Daivavarna’s Privacy Policy or Applicable Law.

The Vendor shall use reasonable care to protect Customer information within the Vendor’s possession or control.

Where required, the Vendor shall promptly notify Daivavarna of a material compromise, unauthorized disclosure, loss, or significant security incident involving Customer information obtained through Daivavarna.

21. MARKETPLACE COMMUNICATION AND CONDUCT

Vendors shall treat Customers, other Vendors, Daivavarna personnel, and other Marketplace participants professionally.

Harassment, credible threats, intimidation, stalking, doxxing, retaliation, and serious abusive conduct are prohibited.

Vendors shall comply with Applicable Law concerning unlawful discrimination.

A Vendor shall not use Daivavarna to commit fraud, launder money, process sham transactions, evade sanctions, conceal unlawful conduct, manipulate Marketplace systems, or otherwise misuse the Platform.

22. LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE

Daivavarna may provide features allowing Customers to discover Vendors by location and use local pickup, local delivery, in-person Services, Events, and other geographically relevant offerings.

The Vendor shall accurately state material location and Service-area information.

Daivavarna may protect a residential address from unnecessary public disclosure where lawful.

International selling is conditional upon destination availability, payment-provider support, carrier availability, Product eligibility, sanctions compliance, and Applicable Law.

The Vendor shall provide truthful customs and shipping information and shall not knowingly undervalue, misdescribe, or falsely declare Products to avoid taxes, duties, restrictions, inspections, or other legal obligations.

23. INSURANCE

The Vendor is responsible for determining whether insurance is legally required or commercially appropriate for the Vendor’s activities.

Daivavarna may require particular Vendors to maintain Product liability, professional liability, commercial general liability, property, Event, Accommodation, or other insurance as a condition of Marketplace participation.

Where insurance is required, the Vendor shall provide reasonable evidence upon request and maintain the required coverage while offering the relevant Product or Service.

24. RECORDS AND COOPERATION

The Vendor shall maintain records reasonably necessary to substantiate material claims, satisfy legal obligations, address Customer disputes, trace Products, demonstrate qualifications, or respond to safety concerns.

The Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with investigations concerning fraud, counterfeit Products, Product safety, recalls, intellectual property, payment disputes, professional qualifications, or other material Marketplace matters.

The Vendor shall not alter, fabricate, destroy, or falsify documentation submitted to Daivavarna.

25. DAIVAVARNA’S ROLE

Daivavarna provides Marketplace technology, Vendor discovery, category organization, account functionality, payment facilitation where supported, communication tools, reviews, dispute assistance, and other Marketplace functionality.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Daivavarna is not the manufacturer, producer, grower, cook, practitioner, Teacher, Service Provider, Host, Event Organizer, Employer, or physical operator responsible for a third-party Vendor’s underlying offering.

Verification of identity, qualifications, category eligibility, Products, or documentation does not transfer the Vendor’s legal responsibility to Daivavarna and is not a guarantee of future Vendor conduct, Product performance, Service outcome, or regulatory compliance.

Daivavarna’s ability to remove Products, issue qualifying refunds, suspend accounts, hold funds, moderate reviews, investigate complaints, or otherwise enforce Marketplace Policies does not make Daivavarna the Vendor’s principal, employer, partner, or joint operator.

26. INDEPENDENT VENDOR RELATIONSHIP

The Vendor operates as an independent Marketplace participant.

Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, franchise, joint venture, fiduciary, or agency relationship between Daivavarna and the Vendor.

The Vendor shall not represent that the Vendor is an employee, agent, officer, representative, branch, or legal partner of Daivavarna.

The Vendor remains responsible for employees, contractors, assistants, agents, family members, workshop participants, or other persons involved in fulfilling the Vendor’s obligations.

27. ENFORCEMENT

Daivavarna may investigate suspected violations of this Agreement, Marketplace Policies, Supplemental Terms, or Applicable Law.

Depending upon the circumstances, Daivavarna may request corrective action or information, modify or remove Listings, restrict Product publication, suspend a category, restrict payments, delay payouts, require reserves, issue qualifying Customer refunds, restrict Marketplace functionality, suspend an account, or terminate Vendor participation.

Daivavarna may take immediate action without ordinary advance notice where reasonably necessary because of serious safety concerns, suspected fraud, counterfeit Products, unlawful conduct, payment risk, intellectual-property infringement, security concerns, Customer protection, or other urgent circumstances.

28. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

The Vendor may discontinue selling through Daivavarna subject to outstanding obligations.

Daivavarna may suspend or terminate Vendor access for material or repeated violations, fraud, serious safety issues, counterfeit Products, false credentials, nonpayment, excessive payment risk, prohibited Products, unlawful conduct, intellectual-property infringement, or other substantial breach.

Suspension or termination does not automatically cancel or eliminate existing obligations relating to Orders, refunds, Customer claims, chargebacks, recalls, taxes, fees, or other legal responsibilities.

Daivavarna may retain or delay distribution of remaining Vendor funds for a reasonable period where necessary to address outstanding refunds, disputes, chargebacks, legal requirements, or payment-provider rules.

29. INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Daivavarna, its operator, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable legal expenses arising from or materially related to the Vendor’s Products, Services, Product defects, Product safety issues, professional conduct, property or Accommodation, Events, employment or contractor relationships, intellectual-property infringement, false or misleading Listings, Customer injury caused by Vendor conduct, taxes attributable to the Vendor, breach of this Agreement, or violation of Applicable Law.

This indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent a liability results from Daivavarna’s own conduct and Applicable Law does not permit that liability to be transferred.

30. DISCLAIMERS

Daivavarna does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the Marketplace.

Daivavarna does not guarantee Vendor sales, revenue, customer demand, search placement, booking volume, Service engagements, employment applicants, or other commercial results.

Marketplace operation may depend upon payment providers, hosting companies, carriers, banks, communications services, software providers, verification providers, and other third parties. Daivavarna is not responsible for matters outside its reasonable control except where Applicable Law provides otherwise.

31. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Daivavarna shall not be liable to the Vendor for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, loss of goodwill, or loss of anticipated revenue arising from this Agreement or use of the Marketplace.

Daivavarna’s aggregate contractual liability to the Vendor arising from or relating to the Vendor relationship shall be limited to [Liability Cap to Be Finalized], except where Applicable Law prohibits or restricts such limitation.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

32. EVENTS OUTSIDE REASONABLE CONTROL

Neither party shall be responsible for delay or failure to perform an obligation to the extent caused by circumstances beyond that party’s reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, widespread network outages, government action, carrier shutdowns, major payment-system disruption, or similar circumstances, except for obligations that Applicable Law does not excuse.

The affected party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such circumstances.

33. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Daivavarna may modify these Terms and incorporated Marketplace Policies prospectively.

Where required by Applicable Law or appropriate because of the materiality of a change, Daivavarna shall provide reasonable notice before updated Terms become effective.

Daivavarna may require a Vendor to electronically accept an updated version before continuing to sell or before using a particular category or feature.

Where only Supplemental Category Terms change, Daivavarna may require renewed acceptance of those category Terms without requiring reacceptance of every Marketplace agreement.

34. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND RECORDS

The Vendor agrees that Daivavarna may provide agreements, notices, Policy updates, transaction records, payout information, enforcement notices, and other communications electronically where legally permitted.

Electronic acceptance, timestamps, account records, and other lawful electronic records may be used to document the Vendor’s agreement and Marketplace activity.

35. ASSIGNMENT

The Vendor may not assign or transfer this Agreement or the Vendor account to another person without Daivavarna’s prior authorization where such consent is reasonably required.

Daivavarna may assign this Agreement as part of a lawful merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of the Marketplace, or transfer to an affiliate or successor, subject to Applicable Law.

36. SEVERABILITY

If a provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be interpreted or modified only to the extent reasonably necessary to make it enforceable where legally permitted.

37. NO WAIVER

Failure by Daivavarna to enforce a provision on one occasion does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or Daivavarna’s right to enforce it in the future.

38. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These General Vendor Terms, together with the Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy, applicable Marketplace Policies, Supplemental Category Terms, and other documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement governing the Vendor’s Marketplace participation concerning their subject matter.

They supersede prior representations concerning the same subject matter except where an authorized written agreement expressly states otherwise.

39. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of [State/Country to Be Finalized], subject to mandatory law that applies regardless of contractual choice of law.

The parties’ dispute-resolution method, forum, venue, and any arbitration, jury-trial waiver, class-action waiver, or related provisions shall be set forth in the final version after review by qualified legal counsel.

Final governing-law and dispute language must be completed before public launch.

41. VENDOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By registering as a Vendor or continuing to operate as a Vendor after accepting these Terms, the Vendor acknowledges having had the opportunity to read and review these General Vendor Terms and Seller Agreement.

The Vendor understands that registration alone does not guarantee approval to sell.

The Vendor understands that category-specific Supplemental Terms may apply and that acceptance of those Terms may be required before listing Products or Services in a category.

The Vendor understands that certain Products and Services may require additional approval.

The Vendor agrees to comply with the Daivavarna Fees and Vendor Payouts Policy and all applicable Marketplace Policies.

The Vendor understands that Daivavarna may use different fee models for different categories and that independent payment-processing, cross-border, foreign-exchange, banking, chargeback, refund, and payout costs may be the Vendor’s responsibility.

The Vendor acknowledges that the Vendor remains responsible for the Vendor’s Products, Services, qualifications, claims, safety, fulfillment, taxes, intellectual property, professional activities, personnel, property, and legal compliance.
