The Platform is designed for use by residents of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwean diaspora. It may be accessed globally, but listings and transactions are primarily Zimbabwe-based.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Your phone number and password must not be shared with anyone.

You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, contact us immediately via the Contact page.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or compromise the safety of other users.

The Platform reserves the right to remove any listing at its sole discretion without prior notice if it violates these rules or is deemed inappropriate.

The Platform is currently free to use for all registered members. Listing, browsing, and contacting sellers carries no charge at this time.

In the future, paid subscription tiers may be introduced to unlock premium features such as priority listings, verified badges, or expanded messaging. You will be notified in advance before any fees are applied to your account.
