Customers ordering products from Sportshed must click to accept our Community Standards, which are linked to from the checkout page. (Customers must accept the Terms of Use at checkout, which should include Community Standards)
When a customer orders one of your products from Sportshed, we, acting as your agent in your name and on your behalf, will:
- Send the customer an order acknowledgement email in our standard format.
- Promptly inform you of the customer order via the customer interface.
- Unless you tell us that you can’t fulfil an order within 24 hours, send the customer an order acceptance email in our standard format and so form a direct contract for you to supply your product to the customer. The contract is between you and the customer.
- If you tell us that you can’t fulfil an order, send the customer an order rejection email in our standard format.
- Take payment for customer orders for your product when we confirm acceptance of an order in your name and on your behalf. The Seller interface will tell you whether or not payment has been received for any order.
Our order acceptance email will serve as the customer’s supply VAT receipt issued in your name and on your behalf. Our email will include all the information about the ordered product which you have included in your product listing as well as separately showing the UK supply VAT collected as part of the order. You’re responsible for ensuring that this information meets legal information requirements and for compliance with all applicable legal, tax and regulatory requirements in connection with any customer VAT receipt issued in your name. For more on consumer law information requirements, please see the Trading Standards advice on online selling at www.businesscompanion.info.

When we tell you about an order you must:
- Using the Seller interface, tell us as soon as possible, and in any event within 24 hours, if you won’t be able to supply the product.
- In all other cases, subject to the Seller interface confirming that payment has been received from the customer, supply the product to the customer in the way and within at least the timescale set out in the delivery policy via Dokan set out in your product listing.

You must deal promptly and professionally with any customer questions about orders using the Seller interface.

All your interactions with customers must comply with the highest customer care standards in the UK.
Dealing with customer cancellations
We’ll tell you if a consumer contacts us to cancel an order. When we do so, or when a consumer contacts you directly to cancel an order, you must comply with the returns and refunds policy and any further commitments you have made in your product listing or other marketing or advertising. You must promptly tell us of any refunds due to customers who have cancelled.
How you must handle customer complaints
We’ll tell you if a customer complains to us about you or one of your products, including any complaints that products have not been delivered or that cancelled orders have not been refunded, and we’ll provide you with all relevant details about the complaint.
You must deal with complaints we tell you about, and any complaints you receive directly from customers, in a way that complies with consumer law and honour any additional commitments or guarantees you have made in your product listing or other marketing or advertising.
We offer limited but reasonable assistance to Sellers and consumers to help them resolve disputes arising out of the supply or non-supply of products through Sportshed. You agree to co-operate fully in this process and if informal resolution is unsuccessful then you will engage in mediation via the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) to resolve any dispute with customers.
All of your communications with customers about complaints should be made through, or where this is not possible, accurately logged with, our Seller interface.
If, in relation to any dispute with a customer, you don’t engage in dispute resolution, as required by these terms and in good faith, then we may refund and/or compensate via Stripe the customer on your behalf. We can also do this if you don’t abide by any commitment you have made during dispute resolution, any settlement reached through mediation, or any ruling made by a court or other competent authority. You must reimburse us for payments made in compensation.
How customer reviews are collected and displayed
Our Community Standards sets out our rules on customer reviews and any information you include in your listing which refers to customer reviews or feedback. We reserve the right to remove any customer (or related material in your listings) which does not comply with our Community Standards.
We use the Seller interface to invite customers to whom your products have been delivered to review your products. You must send invitations to submit a review either to all customers or to none (you cannot select which customers to invite).
Customers submitting a review do so in a prescribed format which may involve a free text box. We may detect customer reviews which breach our Community Standards, but we don’t guarantee that we will do so. You’re responsible for checking reviews for compliance with our Community Standards and telling us if you consider that a review breaches it. If we agree, we’ll remove the review from the site and inform the customer we have done so.
You may respond to reviews for a reasonable time as we determine after they appear on Sportshed using the customer interface, provided your response complies with our Community Standards. We’ll publish your response below the review unless we reasonably think that it doesn’t comply with our Community Standards (we may remove responses on this basis at any time after they have been published).
Apart from an initial invitation to review your products submitted through the Seller interface you must not directly or indirectly contact customers (whether through the Seller interface or using any other contact details you have for customers) either to encourage them to submit any review or a favourable review or to change or withdraw a review.
