All the listings made available on the Flupio platform are to be sold by individual businesses, it’s the sole responsibility of the seller for the dispatch and delivery of the products sold.

It’s imperative that if a buyer on the Flupio platform notifies you of non-delivery of an item, within the estimated time scale offered by you, that you will investigate immediately and tell the buyer that you are doing so, what you are doing and when you expect the delivery of the product.

In the absence of information to the contrary, you agree to despatch a product within three days of notification of order by us, by a method likely to reach the buyer within a further seven days.

If it is apparent that a customer has not received a product within the time frame of the expected delivery date, you will refund money paid, including any delivery charge through Stripe. This is a condition of your contract with us because our reputation, as well as yours, is at stake in those circumstances.

In the absence of communication between you and the buyer Flupio may step in and review all the information and make an impartial decision of how to proceed in the interest of the buyer, seller and the platform overall. We will make contact with the seller and the buyer. This may result in us refunding a product on your behalf from your balance. Or a direct charge to your card if sufficient funds are not available.

Continued failings of delivery or quality of products Flupio may take appropriate action to work with you and your business or in worse cases suspend your account. We reserve the right to choose at our own discretion how we handle individual cases.
