    The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide information to Businessclaud’s sellers on
    delivery to Businessclaud of products sold to buyers on the Businessclaud marketplace.

    1.2. Scope

    These Guidelines cover:

    how to deliver products to Businessclaud for drop shipping i.e. seller’s fulfilment of orders
    for onward delivery to buyers by Businessclaud;

    when Businessclaud may return products to the seller; and

    when the seller’s products may be forfeited.

    1.3. Application

    These Guidelines apply to delivery of products to Businessclaud for drop shipping only.

    Where the seller has subscribed to Businessclaud Express, the Businessclaud Express Guidelines shall
    apply.

    2. How to deliver your products to Businessclaud

    The process for drop shipping to Businessclaud is set out below.

    Confirming orders

    Once the order is confirmed:

    it will appear in Seller Center as a pending order; and
     
     
    the seller shall prepare the product for shipping and mark the order as “ready to
    ship” within period specified on Seller Centre.

    Fulfilling orders

    After marking the order as “ready to ship” the seller shall:

    print the buyer payment receipt and put it inside the package; and

    download the shipping label from Seller Centre and attach to the outside of the
    package. Only Businessclaud shipping labels may be used, and the label must not be
    covered or obscured. Incorrect labelling will result in delay or cancellation.

    Hand over to Businessclaud

    The seller may either drop off their products at the designated location or, if they
    have opted for pickup as a value-added service, Businessclaud shall arrange collection
    from seller’s location.

    The seller will receive a handover receipt for products collected by Businessclaud, which
    will be the proof of handover.

    Upon delivery/collection, Businessclaud shall inspect products and packaging as may be
    required by Businessclaud’s quality control process.

    Businessclaud reserves the right to reject products (refuse receipt) if: it deems them to be
    non-compliant in respect of quantity, quality, specifications or packaging; or
    products are counterfeit (in which case the seller will be managed in accordance
    with the Businessclaud’s Anti-Counterfeit Policy). Such non-compliance may result in a
    penalty for the seller in accordance with the terms of the Seller Penalty Policy.

    Distribution and delivery of products to buyers

    Businessclaud takes responsibility for delivery of orders to buyers and shall return all
    failed deliveries to the seller within the agreed period.

    Businessclaud’s “Vendor Promise", available on the website, provides that, after handover
    to Businessclaud, the seller shall receive either: payment for the item if it is delivered to
    the buyer or lost by Businessclaud; the item back within a specified number of days if
    Businessclaud fails to deliver or if the item is returned by the buyer.

    3. Return to seller or forfeiture of inventory

    3.1. Return to seller

    Businessclaud may return items to the seller at any time and for any reason, including:

    damage, defect or expiry i.e. products not in sellable condition;

    failed delivery to buyer; or

    buyer returns.
     
     
    Delivery to seller location may be available as a value-added service; please check
    with your Seller Support Center.

    Businessclaud shall notify sellers of items available for collection by sending an email to their
    primary email address as recorded in Seller Centre. Such email shall list the items for
    collection and state the location and duration for which they will be available for
    collection.

    Returned items shall remain available for collection at the drop off point for 7 days.
    Collection shall be by an authorised individual with a password as per the picker
    process.

    Once the collection window has lapsed, the items shall be moved from the drop off point
    to Businessclaud’s central hub for collection within the further window of time set out in section
    3.3 below and Businessclaud shall, in its discretion, either:

    cease to accept new deliveries from the seller; and/or

    charge the seller in respect of costs of storage of the items.

    (Note that in Tunisia and South Africa collection locations and windows vary from
    standard process as per table at section 3.3 below.)

    3.2. Return of damaged items

    The seller shall have the opportunity to inspect all returned items at the point of
    collection, in the presence of Businessclaud personnel. In the event of any damage to the
    items, the seller may submit a claim to Businessclaud.

    In order to submit a claim in respect of alleged damage to items, the seller shall be
    required to:

    photograph items at the point of collection;

    collect such items; and

    submit a claim via seller Centre within 48 hours of collection.

    Failure to collect the items or otherwise strictly adhere to the claims process set out
    above shall render the claim invalid.

    Businessclaud’s compensation to the seller in respect of damaged items shall be determined, in
    Businessclaud’s discretion, by the level of damage (e.g. damage to packaging only will result in
    partial refund only) and shall be no more than the cost price of the items.

    3.3. Forfeiture of inventory

    Forfeiture of inventory refers to transfer of title in respect of the products from the
    seller to Businessclaud or to a third party nominated by Businessclaud e.g. a charity, at no cost, free
    and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances.
     
     
    Specific items shall be forfeited in the event that the seller requests forfeiture, or will
    take place automatically in the following circumstances:

    the seller fails to collect items from the notified location within the pre-determined
    forfeiture window;

    the item creates a safety, health or liability risk; or

    the seller has engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity.

    Businessclaud may dispose of forfeited items in any manner that it determines appropriate
    e.g. by sale, donation, recycling or destruction.

    The forfeiture windows for each market are listed in the table below. They are inclusive
    of the 7 day period during which the items are available for collection at the original

    Once the collection window has lapsed, the items shall be moved from the drop off point
    to Businessclaud’s central hub for collection within the further window of time set out in section
    3.3 below and Businessclaud shall, in its discretion, either:

    cease to accept new deliveries from the seller; and/or

    charge the seller in respect of costs of storage of the items.

    (Note that in Tunisia and South Africa collection locations and windows vary from
    standard process as per table at section 3.3 below.)

    3.2. Return of damaged items

    The seller shall have the opportunity to inspect all returned items at the point of
    collection, in the presence of Businessclaud personnel. In the event of any damage to the
    items, the seller may submit a claim to Businessclaud.

    In order to submit a claim in respect of alleged damage to items, the seller shall be
    required to:

    photograph items at the point of collection;

    collect such items; and

    submit a claim via seller Centre within 48 hours of collection.

    Failure to collect the items or otherwise strictly adhere to the claims process set out
    above shall render the claim invalid.

    Businessclaud’s compensation to the seller in respect of damaged items shall be determined, in
    Businessclaud’s discretion, by the level of damage (e.g. damage to packaging only will result in
    partial refund only) and shall be no more than the cost price of the items.

    3.3. Forfeiture of inventory

    Forfeiture of inventory refers to transfer of title in respect of the products from the
    seller to Businessclaud or to a third party nominated by Businessclaud e.g. a charity, at no cost, free
    and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances.

     
     

    Specific items shall be forfeited in the event that the seller requests forfeiture, or will
    take place automatically in the following circumstances:

    the seller fails to collect items from the notified location within the pre-determined
    forfeiture window;

    the item creates a safety, health or liability risk; or

    the seller has engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity.

    Businessclaud may dispose of forfeited items in any manner that it determines appropriate
    e.g. by sale, donation, recycling or destruction.

    The forfeiture windows for each market are listed in the table below. They are inclusive
    of the 7 day period during which the items are available for collection at the original
    drop off point.
