Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

By creating an account or using Fati Market, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Fati Market is an independent student marketplace project. It is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by Our Lady of Fatima University or any other school.

2. Who may use Fati Market

Fati Market is intended for university students. You must provide accurate account information and use an email address you are authorized to access. You are responsible for keeping your account and password secure.

3. Marketplace rules

• Give accurate, honest descriptions and photos of items you offer.
• Do not list illegal, unsafe, counterfeit, stolen, or prohibited items.
• Do not use the app to harass, threaten, deceive, or impersonate another person.
• Respect agreed pickup arrangements and communicate promptly if you need to change them.
• Do not attempt to bypass the app's order, pickup, or verification process for fraudulent purposes.

4. Payments and pickup

Cash and GCash payments are arranged outside the app. Fati Market does not hold funds, process card payments, or act as a bank, escrow service, or payment processor. Never share your GCash PIN, password, one-time code, or other security credentials.

Payment proofs and reference numbers may be reviewed by administrators to confirm an order. Pickup codes are for confirming collection of the correct order and must not be shared with others.

5. Your content

You remain responsible for the photos, descriptions, messages, and other content you provide. By uploading content to Fati Market, you allow us to display and store it as needed to operate the marketplace, process orders, resolve disputes, and enforce these terms.

6. Administration and enforcement

We may remove listings or content, cancel or restrict access, or suspend accounts that violate these terms, create a risk to others, or interfere with the marketplace. We may keep records needed to investigate abuse, settle disputes, or meet legal obligations.

7. Availability and liability

We aim to keep Fati Market available and accurate, but it is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not promise uninterrupted access or that every listing will be error-free. To the extent allowed by law, Fati Market is not liable for losses arising from transactions, communications, payment arrangements, or pickup arrangements between users.

8. Changes to the service or terms

We may change the app or these terms as the marketplace develops. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the current terms took effect. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
