OOSRI BUYER TERMS OF USE (BUYER AGREEMENT)

These Oosri Buyer Terms of Use ("Buyer Terms") govern your use of the Oosri online marketplace as a Buyer. They supplement the general Oosri Platform Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy (together, the "Oosri Terms"). If there is any conflict, the terms that most protect Oosri will prevail, to the extent permitted by law. By creating an account, browsing, or purchasing products on Oosri, you agree to be bound by these Buyer Terms and the Oosri Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Oosri.

1. ABOUT OOSRI

1.1 Marketplace Only

Oosri is an online marketplace that connects independent sellers("Sellers") with buyers ("Buyers"). Except where explicitly stated, Oosri is not the manufacturer, owner, or seller of products listed by third-party Sellers.

1.2 Your Contract Is With the Seller

When you purchase a product on Oosri, you enter into a direct sales contract with the Seller. Oosri is not a party to that contract, but may facilitate payment, logistics, and dispute handling.

1.3 No Guarantee of Seller Identity or Conduct

Oosri performs reasonable checks but does not guarantee any Seller's identity, legal compliance, capability, or product quality.

1.4 Oosri's Facilitation Role

Oosri provides:

  • Product discovery and listing tools
  • Checkout and payment infrastructure
  • Logistics integrations where applicable
  • Dispute handling processes and Buyer Protection (where applicable)

Oosri may intervene in disputes but does not guarantee outcomes.

Oosri is not liable for losses caused by such actions taken in good faith.

  • The carrier marks the products as delivered in their system.

6.3 Undelivered or Missing Orders

If an Order is marked as delivered but you have not received it, you must contact Oosri Support through the Platform within the timeframe stated in the Buyer Protection Policy. Oosri may request evidence (e.g. photos, confirmation from neighbours or building management) before reaching a decision.

7. INSPECTION, RETURNS & REFUNDS

7.1 Inspection on Receipt

You should inspect products promptly upon delivery. If you notice obvious damage, defects, or errors (e.g. wrong product, size or quantity), you must notify Oosri through the Platform within the time window specified in the Oosri Buyer Protection / Return Policy.

7.2 Return Eligibility

Return and refund rights depend on:

  • The nature of the product (e.g. custom-made or personalised items may be non-returnable);
  • The Seller's return policy (where applicable);
  • Oosri's Buyer Protection / Return Policy;
  • Applicable consumer protection laws.

We will endeavour to clearly indicate non-returnable products or special conditions on the listing page or at checkout.

  • You must follow those instructions, including packaging and shipping requirements;
  • You may be responsible for return shipping costs, unless the policies or law dictate otherwise.

7.4 Refunds

Refunds may be:

  • Full or partial;
  • Issued to your original payment method, where feasible; or
  • Issued as store credit or wallet balance, where this option exists and you agree.

Oosri may reduce or reject a refund if:

  • The returned item is missing, different from the original, or severely damaged (beyond reasonable inspection);
  • You fail to return the product where required;
  • There is evidence of fraud, misuse, or abuse of the return system.

We will act in good faith and in line with our stated policies when assessing refund eligibility.

7.5 Oosri's Role in Disputes About Orders

Where a dispute between you and a Seller is escalated to Oosri:

  • We will review evidence from both sides, including logistics and payment data;
  • We may determine whether a full refund, partial refund, or no refund is appropriate; or
  • We may decide to release payment to the Seller.

For purposes of how funds are allocated within the Oosri ecosystem, Oosri's decision is final and binding, without prejudice to any non-waivable statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law.
