# E-COMMERCE MARKETPLACE SELLER AGREEMENT

Date: 18 February 2030

Parties: MarketHarbour UK Limited and Oak & Ember Homeware Limited

## 1. Parties and purpose

MarketHarbour UK Limited (Company No. 14560112), 1 Exchange Square, Birmingham B1 1AA (Platform), appoints Oak & Ember Homeware Limited (Company No. 13822017), 9 Mill Lane, Worcester WR1 2NE (Seller), to list and sell approved homeware products on the MarketHarbour marketplace.

## 2. Scope, price and subject

The Seller creates accurate listings with price, VAT status, dimensions, safety information, delivery promise and images it may lawfully use. The Platform charges 12% commission on gross order value plus £0.35 per completed order; it remits cleared funds every Wednesday, reserving refunds, chargebacks and a £2,000 rolling reserve.

## 3. Operating duties

The Seller must comply with UK product-safety, consumer, distance-selling, packaging, trademark and advertising law. Counterfeits, unsafe electrical goods, weapons, recalled products, misleading health claims and goods infringing third-party rights are prohibited. The Seller handles fulfilment, customer service, statutory refunds and the legal guarantee of conformity.

## 4. Rights, records and compliance

The Platform supplies payment processing, search and account tools but does not become seller, manufacturer or importer. It may remove a listing that breaches policy, request evidence of compliance, hold funds proportionately and communicate with customers. The Seller must respond to a safety recall or regulatory request within 24 hours.

## 5. Term, ending and remedies

Each party processes customer and seller data under UK GDPR for orders, fraud prevention, support and compliance. The Seller indemnifies the Platform for product claims, IP infringement, tax and unlawful listing; the Platform indemnifies the Seller for its own fraud or deliberate misuse. Both maintain insurance appropriate to their risk.

## 6. Liability and reservations

Either party may end on 30 days' notice; the Platform may immediately suspend for fraud, serious safety risk, repeated breach or insolvency and must give reasons where lawful. Open orders, refunds, chargebacks, record retention and accrued commissions survive; the Seller may export its lawful listing data.

## 7. Governing law and signatures

England and Wales law governs and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Directors Yasmin Shah and Robert Ellis sign on 18 February 2030. This agreement is business-to-business, but mandatory consumer rights for marketplace buyers cannot be contracted out of.
