Fees and services

The use of Modafirma requires a fee for certain services. If the service you use incurs a fee, you’ll be able to review and accept terms that will be clearly disclosed at the time of your agreeing to rent a Modafirma boutique or pay for any additional services such as creation of own URL and any additional advertising on our site. By fees, we mean subscription fees and or any % commission charges that occur on sale of any items via a boutique held on the platform. Our fees are quoted in Pounds Sterling, and we may choose to temporarily or permanently change our fees for promotional events or new services; these changes are effective when we announce the promotional event or new service.

Our fees are non-negotiable and non-refundable, and you bear the responsibility for paying them when they are due. Any lagging or non-payment of fees will result in restrictions to use the services or eviction until fees are paid. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. If you wish to terminate a service please do so by writing to us at info@modafirma.com and we will terminate your account with one month’s notice. All service termination requests must be done on the final day of the month; you will be charged a pro-rated amount for the extra number of days that extend past the month end if you do not cancel your service on the last day of the month.

We do not review users’ postings and are not involved in the actual commercial transactions between users. As most of the content on Modafirma derives from other users, we do not guarantee the accuracy of postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what’s offered.

Pricing

As Modafirma acts a third party broker and marketplace we do not under any circumstances take any responsibility any differences in prices of your merchandise that you place on our site versus what you place and depict on other Ecommerce platforms, sites and or your own Ecommerce platform or site. We do advise that these prices are kept consistent and reserve the right to remove your boutique and terminate your custom if found to be propagating such an action. We thus defer any liability that may be derived from the above stated action price differentials of merchandise on different Ecommerce platforms, websites or physical shop to you the client i.e. anyone operating a boutique and or any chargeable service on our platform. In no event do we accept liability of any description for the posting of any unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene or indecent information, or material of any kind which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law.

Returns policy

We advise that you please take the time to read the returns policy page of each boutique that you shop from. As a third party platform we do not take responsibility for returns. However, depending on location, if you are a consumer you bear a legal right to cancel your order under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (“DSRs”). This means that, during a certain period, if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep the products, you can notify the boutique owner via messaging bespoke to each boutique of your decision to cancel and receive a refund from the relevant boutique in line with their returns policy. Please see the “EU DISTANCE SELLING REGULATIONS (DSR)” section of the Returns Policy for details of when and how you can cancel your order under the DSRs.

We cannot guarantee continuous, error-free or secure access to our services or that defects in the service will be corrected. While we will use reasonable efforts to maintain an uninterrupted service, we cannot guarantee this and we do not give any promises or warranties (whether expressed or implied) about the availability of our services.

Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted we expressly disclaim all warranties, representations and conditions, express or implied, including those of quality, merchantability, merchantable quality, durability, fitness for a particular purpose and those arising by statute. We are not liable for any loss, whether of money (including profit), goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of Modafirma, even if you advise us or we could reasonably foresee the possibility of any such damage occurring. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you. Despite the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or any third party (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability in tort, by statute or otherwise) is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you pay to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to liability, and (b) 100 Pounds Sterling.
