Terms of Service

Last updated November 2026. Please read these terms carefully before using AfricaMart.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By creating an account or otherwise using AfricaMart, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

2. Eligibility & accounts

AfricaMart is intended for businesses and individuals sourcing or selling goods and services on a B2B basis. You must provide accurate information when creating an account and are responsible for activity that happens under your account.

3. Buyers and suppliers

Buyers can browse listings, save items, message suppliers and post Requests for Quotation (RFQs). Suppliers can create a storefront, list products or services, and respond to buyer inquiries and RFQs. You're responsible for the accuracy of any listing, message or quote you submit.

4. Verification & buyer protection

The Documents reviewed badge means AfricaMart has reviewed a supplier's business documents. It is not a guarantee of any individual transaction. As described on our Buyer protection (roadmap) page, payments, shipping and logistics currently happen directly between buyers and suppliers — agree on terms in writing before committing to an order.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to: post false, misleading or illegal listings; impersonate another business or person; attempt to circumvent verification or security features; or use AfricaMart to send spam or unsolicited communications. We may suspend or remove accounts or content that violate these terms.

6. Fees

Creating a buyer or supplier account and listing products is currently free. Optional premium storefront features may be offered separately — any fees will be clearly described before you opt in.

7. Intellectual property

The AfricaMart name, logo and platform are owned by AfricaMart. Suppliers retain ownership of their listing content but grant AfricaMart a license to display it on the platform for the purpose of operating the marketplace.

8. Third-party links & services

AfricaMart may link to or rely on third-party services (such as payment, logistics or communication tools used directly between buyers and suppliers). We aren't responsible for the content, policies or practices of those third parties.

9. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

AfricaMart is provided "as is". We don't guarantee the accuracy of listings or the outcome of any transaction between buyers and suppliers. To the extent permitted by law, AfricaMart isn't liable for losses arising from transactions conducted between users of the platform.

10. Termination

You may stop using AfricaMart at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or for other legitimate business reasons, with notice where reasonably possible.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable where AfricaMart is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of AfricaMart after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
