Transactions between Sellers and Buyers

3.1 Seller and Buyer. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Seller” means the registered member who supplies the product(s) or service(s) under an Online Transaction, and the term “Buyer” means the registered member who purchases or acquires the product(s) or service(s) under an Online Transaction.

For all transactions concluded on www.SkyCafe.co.za, mobile site, applications or mobile-optimized applications, the Buyer shall be the importer on record for customs and taxation purposes, unless otherwise agreed upon between the Buyer and Seller.

Seller and Buyer shall complete the Online Transaction according to the terms of the online order, the relevant Transactional Terms and this Agreement. Seller or Buyer may only cancel any Online Transaction in accordance with the relevant Transactional Terms.

3.4 Transaction between Seller and Buyer Only. Each Online Transaction is made by and between a Seller and a Buyer only. Despite that SkyCafe.co.za makes available the Transaction Services and, if applicable, may conduct formality review(s) of an Online Transaction, SkyCafe.co.za shall not be considered as a party to the Online Transaction. SkyCafe.co.za does not represent the Seller nor the Buyer in any Online Transaction. SkyCafe.co.za will not be responsible for the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the products or services offered under any Online Transaction or the ability of either Seller or Buyer to complete any Online Transaction. You agree that you will not hold SkyCafe.co.za and our affiliates and agents liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising from any Online Transactions, including any breach, partial performance or non-performance of the Online Transaction by the other party to the transaction.

3.6 Payment Methods. Please note that the payment methods available on the Sites may be provided by SkyCafe.co.za’s partners. If there is any chargeback or reversal of any payment requested by a payment service partner, Seller agrees that SkyCafe.co.za has the right to refund the money so requested by the payment service partner without liability to Seller. SkyCafe.co.za will use reasonable efforts to assist you in participating in the dispute resolution process of the relevant payment service partners. However, if the participation in the dispute resolution process is subject to additional fees, this will be at your own cost only.

3.7 Third Party Vendors. You may engage one or more third party vendors for the purpose of completing and fulfilling an Online Transaction such as the warehousing and logistic service companies, shipping agents, inspection agents, insurance companies, etc. Some of such third party vendors may be partners of SkyCafe.co.za and thus designated by SkyCafe.co.za to you. Among such designated partners, you may be required to agree and accept the terms and conditions of their services online within the Sites. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all third party vendors, you acknowledge and agree that such third party vendors are engaged at your own discretion and cost and that you will not hold SkyCafe.co.za and our affiliates and agents liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising from the services of such third party vendors. You shall ensure that the third parties comply with Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (as defined above).

3.8 Your Agent. If you are required to conclude and complete an Online Transaction through an agent e.g. a Seller may be required to engage a qualified import and export agent as its export agent, such agent is merely an agent of you.
