1. Introduction
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Pentamart website, mobile applications, and related services (together, the "Platform"), operated by Pentamart Limited ("Pentamart", "we", "us", or "our"), with its registered office at Gulshan, Dhaka-1212, Bangladesh. [Digital Business Identification Number (DBID): To be inserted upon registration]
By creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund, Warranty, and Exchange Policies. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
2. Definitions
- Marketplace — the online platform where independent vendors list and sell their products to customers.
- Vendor / Seller — a third-party business approved to sell products on Pentamart. The Vendor is the seller of record for its products, except for items sold directly by Pentamart or its own brands.
- Customer / Buyer / you — any person who browses, registers, or purchases through the Platform.
- Products — the goods and services listed for sale on the Platform.
3. About Our Marketplace
Pentamart is a multi-vendor marketplace. For most products, we act as an intermediary that connects you with verified independent Vendors and facilitates the order, payment, and delivery process. The contract of sale for those products is formed directly between you and the Vendor.
Every Vendor passes our proprietary multi-layer verification before being approved. We monitor Vendor performance and product quality on an ongoing basis. While this verification system enforces strict operational benchmarks for filtering and authenticity, it serves as an operational standard only.
Important: Pentamart’s verification system does not shift the underlying product-specific legal and regulatory liability from the third-party Vendor to the platform. Under the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009, the primary statutory liability for product defects, safety, and regulatory compliance rests with the manufacturer or the Vendor of record, except for items sold directly by Pentamart or its own brands.
