Terms and Conditions

Accepting These Terms
This document makes up our Terms of Use (the “Terms” for short).
The Terms are a legally binding contract between you and Wakuda Ltd. This contract sets out your rights and responsibilities when you use wakuda.co.uk, Pattern by Wakuda, our mobile apps, and the other services provided by Wakuda (we’ll refer to all of these collectively as our “Services”), so please read it carefully. By using any of our Services (even just browsing one of our websites), you’re agreeing to the Terms. If you don’t agree with the Terms, you may not use our Services.

The Entire Agreement
If you use any of our Services, you agree to these Terms.
Our Rules for Sellers. If you list any items for sale through our Services, this policy apply to you
Our Rules for Buyers. If you use our Services to browse or shop, this policy apply to you.
All of these policies are a part of our Terms, and form the entire Agreement between Wakuda and you.

Your Privacy
Both Wakuda and sellers process members’ personal information (for example, buyer name, email address, and delivery address) and are therefore considered separate and independent data controllers of buyers’ personal information under EU law. That means that each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Services. For example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, not Wakuda, will be responsible for that unauthorised disclosure.
-
Your Account with Wakuda
You’ll need to create an account with Wakuda to use some of our Services. Here are a few rules about accounts with Wakuda:
- You must be 18 years or older to use our Services. Minors under 18 and at least 13 years of age are only permitted to use our Services through an account owned by a parent or legal guardian with their appropriate permission and under their direct supervision. Children under 13 years are not permitted to use Wakuda or the Services. You are responsible for any and all account activity conducted by a minor on your account.
- Be honest with us. Provide accurate information about yourself. It’s prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person or company through your account.
- Choose an appropriate name. If you decide to not have your full name serve as the name associated with your account, you may not use language that is offensive, vulgar, infringes someone’s intellectual property rights, or otherwise violates the Terms.
- You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If you’re registering as a business entity, you personally guarantee that you have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the business. Also, your accounts are not transferable.
- Your Content
Content that you post using our Services is your content (referred to as “Your Content”). We don’t make any claim to it, which includes anything you post using our Services (like shop names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing descriptions, reviews, comments, videos, usernames, etc.).

By posting Your Content, you grant Wakuda a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works of Your Content. This allows us to provide the Services and to promote Wakuda, your Wakuda shop, or the Services in general, in any formats and through any channels, including across any Wakuda Services, our partners, or third-party website or advertising medium.

Termination
Termination By You. We’d hate to see you go, but you may terminate your account with Wakuda at any time from your account settings. Terminating your account will not affect the availability of some of Your Content that you posted through the Services prior to termination. Oh, and you’ll still have to pay any outstanding bills.
Termination By Wakuda. We may terminate or suspend your account (and any accounts Wakuda determines are related to your account) and your access to the Services should we have reason to believe you, your Content, or your use of the Services violate our Terms. If we do so, it’s important to understand that you don’t have a contractual or legal right to continue to use our Services, for example, to sell or buy on our websites or mobile apps. Generally, Wakuda will notify you that your account has been terminated or suspended, unless you’ve repeatedly violated our Terms or we have legal or regulatory reasons preventing us from notifying you.
If you or Wakuda terminate your account, you may lose any information associated with your account, including Your Content.
We May Discontinue the Services.

Warranties and Limitation of Liability
Items You Purchase. You understand that Wakuda does not manufacture, store, or inspect any of the items sold through our Services. We provide the venue; the items in our marketplaces are produced, listed, and sold directly by independent sellers, so Wakuda can’t and does not make any warranties about their quality, safety, or even their legality. Any legal claim related to an item you purchase must be brought directly against the seller of the item. You release Wakuda from any claims related to items sold through our Services, including for defective items, misrepresentations by sellers, or items that caused physical injury (like product liability claims).

We make no representations concerning any content posted by users through the Services. Wakuda is not responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of content posted by users that you accessed through the Services. You release us from all liability relating to that content.

You may also need to use a third party’s product or service in order to use some of our Services (like a compatible mobile device to use our mobile apps). When you access these third-party services, you do so at your own risk. The third parties may require you to accept their own terms of use. Wakuda is not a party to those agreements; they are solely between you and the third party.

Indemnification
We hope this never happens, but if Wakuda gets sued because of something that you did, you agree to defend and indemnify us. That means you’ll defend Wakuda (including any of our employees) and hold us harmless from any legal claim or demand (including reasonable lawyer’s fees) that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of our Services, your breach of the Terms, or you or your account’s infringement of someone else’s rights.
We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute our strategy.

Disputes with Other Users
If you find yourself in a dispute with another user of Wakuda’s Services or a third party, we encourage you to contact the other party and try to resolve the dispute amicably.
Case System. Buyers and sellers who are unable to resolve a dispute related to a transaction on our websites or mobile apps may participate in our case system. Wakuda will attempt to help you resolve disputes in good faith and based solely on our interpretation of our policies, in our sole discretion; we will not make judgments regarding legal issues or claims.

Disputes with Wakuda
11.1 Governing Law. The Terms are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the UK, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.

Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we’ll definitely let you know by posting the changes through the Services and/or sending you an email or message about the changes. That way you can decide whether you want to continue using the Services. Changes will be effective upon the posting of the changes unless otherwise specified. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
-
General
The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and Wakuda regarding the Services. If any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.
