All confirmed deals on Vesper Marketplace are binding. However, during the beta phase, we understand that occasional issues may arise as the platform continues to be improved. If buyers or sellers encounter technical difficulties affecting the ability to fulfill or receive an order, they should immediately contact Vesper’s Support Team for assistance.
Both buyers and sellers are responsible for promptly finalizing transaction details based on the pre-agreed terms (contract) with counter party, including payment, invoicing, delivery schedules, and logistics. If either party is unable to finalize these aspects, they must notify Vesper’s Support Team within two (2) working days of deal confirmation.
Cancellations are allowed under specific conditions to address technical or operational challenges. The following are valid grounds for requesting a cancellation:
Erroneous or Misleading Listings: Significant inaccuracies in the product listing, including incorrect product specifications, origin, or packaging details.
User Errors: Cancellations due to mistakes made by the user, such as incorrect product specifications or details entered by the seller.
Platform-Related Technical Issues: Cancellations caused by technical errors, system malfunctions, or misleading information due to platform faults.
Logistical Issues: Unforeseen events beyond the control of either party (e.g., substantial shipping delays, factory closures) that prevent the completion of the transaction.
To request a cancellation, the affected party must contact Vesper’s Support Team within two (2) working days of deal confirmation, providing detailed reasons for the request. Vesper Marketplace will review the request and may approve the cancellation based on the circumstances.
Parties submitting more than two (2) cancellation requests within a 90-day period without valid justification may face suspension or restricted access to Vesper Marketplace at Vesper’s discretion.
