Biqbaq

Conditions of Use

Draft for legal review: not yet in effect. Highlighted text marks details still to be completed.

These Conditions of Use apply when you use Biqbaq, a marketplace operated by [legal company name]. By using Biqbaq, you agree to them.

1. What Biqbaq is

Biqbaq connects Nigerians in Canada with sellers, businesses and car dealers based in Canada. Sellers list products and services, and dealers list vehicles going to Nigeria that may have space for cargo.

Biqbaq is a platform. Unless we clearly say otherwise, sellers and dealers are independent, and any sale or cargo arrangement is between you and them.

2. Your account

You must be at least [minimum age] to create an account. Give accurate information, keep your password secure, and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.

You are responsible for activity on your account. One person should use one account, and additional roles are requested from that account.

3. Selling on Biqbaq

Seller roles require approval. Approval is not the same as identity verification, and products from sellers who have not been verified show an "Unverified Seller" label. Unverified sellers may have a limit on how many products they can publish.

Sellers must describe their products, prices and availability accurately, follow the laws that apply to what they sell, and handle their own orders, customers and taxes. Sellers must be based in Canada.

4. Cargo cars

Biqbaq does not transport, store, insure or inspect vehicles or goods. Dates and available space are estimates from the dealer, so confirm all details with the dealer before you arrange anything.

You and the dealer are responsible for following all shipping, customs, import and export laws, and for any duties or fees. Do not send anything prohibited by law or by the dealer's cargo restrictions.

5. Payments

Where online payment is available for a seller, it is processed by a third-party payment provider and paid to the seller's connected account. The provider's own terms also apply. [Refund, chargeback and commission terms to be added once decided.]

6. Your content

You keep ownership of what you post, such as listings, photos, reviews, messages and blog posts. You give Biqbaq a non-exclusive licence to host, display and promote that content in order to run the platform. Only post content you have the right to use.

We may review, refuse or remove content. Blog posts by sellers require approval before they are published.

7. What you must not do

Do not post false, misleading, illegal or infringing content, sell prohibited items, harass others, send spam, get around publishing limits or security controls, or use automated tools to misuse the site or its public API.

8. Advertising and third-party links

Biqbaq shows advertisements, which are labelled, and links to other websites. We are not responsible for third-party content, products or services.

9. General information

Immigration updates, job information, exchange rates and weather are provided for general information only, and may be out of date. They are not legal, immigration or financial advice, and exchange rates shown may differ from bank or remittance rates.

10. Suspension and closure

We may suspend or remove accounts, roles, listings or access if these Conditions are broken, or to protect users or the platform. You may stop using Biqbaq at any time.

11. Disclaimers and liability

Biqbaq is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we do not guarantee sellers, dealers, listings or uninterrupted service, and we are not liable for indirect losses or for dealings between users. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection law. [Liability wording to be confirmed by a lawyer.]

12. Changes and governing law

We may update these Conditions, and will post the new version with its date. These Conditions are governed by the laws of [province] and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.

13. Contact

Questions about these Conditions can be sent to [contact email], or [mailing address].
