Depending on their jurisdiction, Sellers and Buyers may have rights under statutory warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this User Agreement is intended to override a right that by applicable law may not be excluded. Nothing in this User Agreement is intended to violate any laws relating to unfair contracts, and this agreement has been specifically redrafted to ensure compliance with unfair contracts legislation.

Each User acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between Buyers and Sellers is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this User Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between Users. Nothing in this User Agreement shall in any way be construed as forming a joint venture, partnership or an employer-employee relationship between Hamro Style and any User.

  • Upon completion of a Local Job, Seller User must log on to the Website and click the "Complete" button for that Local Job, as soon as practicable
  • Failure to complete the service or task will constitute a breach of this User Agreement; and
  • Our fees are applied to the amount of the awarded Seller's bid to perform the services. Any items purchased by the Seller as part of performing the service are between the Buyer and Seller.
  • Some features on our Website requires you to pay certain fees to us.

    In the event where you fail to pay us, we will deduct amounts you owe us from money you subsequently add or receive.

    We may immediately suspend or limit your Account until your payment.

    We may receive interest on funds held by us in our operating accounts from financial institutions with whom we hold our operating accounts. Any such interest earned belongs to us and we will not be liable to any User for any imputed interest on such funds.

    We reserve the right to collect any funds owed to us by any other legal means.

    You acknowledge and agree that:

  • we are not a bank or other licensed financial institution and do not provide banking services or any financial services to you;
  • the desposit to Hamro Stlye (which may include buyer deposit and/or any prepayment of fees and charges which you owe to us) represents our unsecured obligations to you with respect to your rights to direct us to make payment in relation to the purchase and sale of Seller Services through the Website and provision of the Hamro Style Services;
  • to the extent that we are required to release funds from buyer deposits, you will become our unsecured creditor until such funds are paid to you;
  • we are not acting as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to such funds or payments;
  • the amount of funds showing in your Account is not insured and is not a guaranteed deposit;
  • funds may only loaded into your Account, or released from your Account, by us and you must only use the mechanisms available on the Website to pay for, or receive funds in respect of Seller Services;
  • any refunds required to be processed in your favour will be returned only to the source of the original deposit, and cannot be redirected to any other payment source;
  • we will hold funds in respect of the amount (including Your Payments) in an account held by us with a financial institution (or in any manner that we decide in our sole discretion from time to time) and such funds are not segregated into a separate account; and
  • we may commingle your funds with funds of other Users and our own funds and such commingled funds could be used to pay other Users or for our general corporate purposes or otherwise, however, we will remain obliged to release or refund funds at your direction in accordance with this User Agreement.
  • We reserve the right to suspend a User withdrawal request if the source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent.

    If we become aware that any funds received into an Account from another Account as a result of a fraudulent transaction, this will be reversed immediately. If those funds have already been released to you, you must pay the funds into your Account. If you do not do so, we may suspend, limit or cancel your account, or take action against you to recover those funds.

    We may, in our sole discretion, place a limit on any or all of the funds in your Account (thereby preventing any use of the funds) if:

  • we believe there may be an unacceptable level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions, including if we believe that there is a risk that such funds will be subject to reversal or chargeback;
  • we believe that the beneficiary of the payment is someone other than you;
  • we believe that the payment is being made to a country where we do not offer our Service; or
  • we are required to do so by law or applicable law enforcement agencies.
  • If you are involved in a dispute, we may (in certain circumstances) place a temporary limit on the funds in your Account to cover the amount of any potential liability. If the dispute is resolved in your favour, we will lift the limit on your funds and those funds may be released to you. If the dispute is not resolved in your favour, we may remove the funds from your Account. We may also place a limit on your account in circumstances where we suspect you of fraudulent or other unacceptable behaviour, while we investigate any such matter.
  • You may ask for a refund at any time for any funds that you have paid into your Account except if the amount to refund relates to cancellation or relates to fees or charges payable to us.

    If we agree to the refund, the funds will be received by the User via the same payment method(s) that the User used to make the original payment to us.

    We may refund funds to Users irrespective of whether a User has requested funds be refunded if: (1) we are required by law or consider that we are required by law to do so; (2) we determine that refunding funds to the User will avoid any dispute or an increase in our costs; (3) we refund funds to the User in accordance with any refund policy specified by us from time to time; (4) we find out that the original payment made by the User is fraudulent; (5) the User made a duplicate payment in error; or (6) we consider, in our sole opinion, that it is likely that the refund of funds is necessary to avoid a credit card chargeback.

    You can request a refund by using our customer support website or emailing us at hi@hamrostyle.com. Once you have made a order, you expressly agree to use the dispute resolution process in this agreement, expressly agree to be bound by its ruling and expressly agree not to initiate any chargeback request with your card issuer.

    If you initiate any chargeback request or other "Request for Information" or similar process, you expressly agree and consent to us to share any and all information in relation to your agreement of these terms and conditions, in order to defeat any such chargeback request.

    If you have already initiated a chargeback request with your credit card issuer, you must not request a refund of funds by contacting us and must not seek double recovery.

    If we reasonably determine, having considered all the relevant circumstances, that you have made an excessive or unreasonable number of requests to refund funds back to you or chargebacks, we may suspend, limit or close your Account.

    Your first withdrawal of funds earned may be delayed for up to fifteen days for security and fraud purposes.

    We may require you to be Verified before you can withdraw funds from your Account

    You acknowledge and agree that we may seek to verify your identity or request additional information from you as part of our anti-fraud policy

    A chargeback (being a challenge to a payment that a User files with their card issuer or financial institution), and any subsequent reversal instruction, is made by the payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) and not by us. We are bound to follow such instructions.

    You acknowledge and agree that we will be entitled to recover any chargebacks and reversals that may be imposed on us by a payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) on funds paid to you by Buyers through the Website, as well as any processing or any other fees whatsoever incurred by us on those chargebacks and reversals.

    You agree that we may reverse any such payments made to you, which are subject to chargeback or reversal instruction via your payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors). If you initiate any chargeback request or other similar process, you expressly agree and consent to us to share any and all information in relation to your agreement of these terms and conditions, in order to defeat any such chargeback request.

    We may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account without reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we may close, suspend or limit your access to your Account:

  • if we determine that you have breached, or are acting in breach of this User Agreement;
  • if we determine that you have infringed legal rights (resulting in actual or potential claims), including infringing Intellectual Property Rights;
  • if we determine that you have engaged, or are engaging, in fraudulent, or illegal activities;
  • you do not respond to account verification requests;
  • you do not complete account verification when requested within 3 months of the date of request;
  • to manage any risk of loss to us, a User, or any other person; or
  • for other reasons.
  • If we close your Account due to your breach of this User Agreement, you may also become liable for certain fees as described in this User Agreement.

    Without limiting our other remedies, to the extent you have breached this User Agreement, you must pay us all fees owed to us and reimburse us for all losses and costs (including any and all of our employee time) and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) related to investigating such breach and collecting such fees.

    You acknowledge and agree that: (1) the damages that we will sustain as a result of your breach of this User Agreement will be substantial and will potentially include (without limitation) fines and other related expenses imposed on us by our payment processors and Users and that those damages may be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain; (2) if you breach this User Agreement, we may fine you damages amount for each breach and/or we may take legal action against you to recover losses that are in excess of the fine amount; (3) considering all currently existing circumstances, including (without limitation) the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to us that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages may be impractical or extremely difficult; and (4) we may release the entire (or part of the) amount of the fine from your deposit to us.

    If we close your Account for a reason other than as a result of your breach of this User Agreement, unless as otherwise specified in this User Agreement, you will be entitled to receive any payment due from us to you.

    In the event that we close your Account, you will have no claim whatsoever against us in respect of any such suspension or termination of your Account.

    Amount cannot be claimed by the Seller until:

  • the Buyer and Seller agree that the funds can be claimed by the Seller;
  • if there is a dispute, the Buyer and Seller have concluded the Dispute Process and the Dispute is resolved in the Seller's favour;
  • the Buyer instructs us to pay a Seller for services performed by the Seller in respect of a Project or goods sold; or
  • the Buyer acknowledges that the Seller has completed the services fully and satisfactory.
  • If a dispute arises between you and Hamro Style, our goal is to address your concerns immediately and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a means of resolving the dispute quickly. We strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by emailing us at hi@hamrostyle.com.

    For any claim, Hamro Style may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If Hamro Style elects arbitration, such arbitration will be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, which is to be selected by you from a panel of ADR providers that Hamro Style will provide to you. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    All claims you bring against Hamro Style must be resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Agreement shall be considered improperly filed and a breach of this Agreement. Should you file a claim contrary to the terms of this Agreement, Hamro Style may recover its legal fees and costs (including in-house lawyers and paralegals), provided that Hamro Style has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

    You agree that you will not pursue any claims arising under this User Agreement on a class or other representative basis and will not seek to coordinate or consolidate any arbitration or action hereunder with any other proceeding.

    If any proceeding by or against you is commenced under any provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, Hamro Style will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.

    Hamro Style's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

    If you have any questions about this User Agreement or if you wish to report breaches of this User Agreement, please contact us by using our customer support website or emailing us at hi@hamrostyle.com.
