1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "Merchant", or "you") and Zuku ("Zuku", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Zuku eCommerce platform available at zuku.live and all associated services.

By registering for an account, subscribing to a plan, or using any feature of the Zuku platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

These Terms apply to all users including merchants (store owners), visitors, and any other person who accesses the platform.

Zuku reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service or feature at any time with reasonable prior notice where possible.

3. Account Registration & Eligibility

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to register for a Zuku account. By registering, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts under Indian law.

3.2 Registration

To use Zuku, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information including your name, email address, and business details. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

3.3 Account Security

You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@zuku.live if you suspect any unauthorised access or security breach.

Zuku shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security.

4. Subscription Plans & Billing

4.1 Available Plans

Zuku offers the following subscription plans (prices in Indian Rupees, inclusive of applicable taxes):

  • Welcome Plan: ₹199 per month — ideal for new stores
  • Starter Plan: ₹599 per 3 months — for growing businesses
  • Intermediate Plan: ₹2,000 per year — recommended for established merchants
  • Professional Plan: ₹3,421 per year — for high-volume and multi-store sellers

4.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed in advance at the beginning of each billing cycle. Your plan will automatically remain active for the duration of the subscription period paid. Zuku does not automatically renew subscriptions — you will need to manually renew when your plan expires.

4.3 Transaction Fees

Zuku does not charge any platform-level transaction fees on any plan. You keep 100% of your sales revenue. Note that your chosen payment gateway provider (such as Razorpay or Paytm) may apply their own processing fees, which are independent of Zuku.

4.4 Taxes

All pricing displayed includes Goods and Services Tax (GST) as applicable under Indian law. Zuku will issue GST-compliant invoices for all subscription payments upon request.

As a Merchant on the Zuku platform, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate product descriptions, images, and pricing on your store

  • Maintain valid business registrations, licences, and permits as required by your state or industry
  • Ensure your store does not sell prohibited, counterfeit, hazardous, or illegal products
  • Handle customer data responsibly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws
  • Respond to customer disputes and refund requests in good faith

Zuku acts solely as a technology platform provider. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or accuracy of products listed by Merchants, nor for any transactions between Merchants and their customers.

6. Prohibited Activities

You must not use the Zuku platform to:

  • Sell illegal goods, controlled substances, weapons, or counterfeit products

  • Use automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to access the platform without prior written permission
  • Resell, sublicense, or transfer access to the Zuku platform to third parties
  • Use the platform in any way that violates applicable Indian or international law

Violation of any of the above may result in immediate account suspension or termination without refund.

7.2 Your Content

You retain full ownership of all content you upload to your store (product images, descriptions, store branding). By uploading content, you grant Zuku a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and process your content solely for the purpose of operating your store and delivering our services.

Subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing period has commenced. If you encounter a technical issue that prevents you from using the platform, please contact support@zuku.live within 7 days of purchase and we will evaluate your case on its merits.

Zuku reserves the right to issue refunds at its sole discretion in exceptional circumstances.

10. Termination

10.1 By You

You may close your Zuku account at any time by contacting support@zuku.live. Closing your account will not entitle you to a refund of any unused subscription period.

10.2 By Zuku

  • Violate any provision of these Terms
  • Engage in fraudulent, illegal, or harmful activity
  • Fail to pay subscription fees when due
  • Abuse or misuse the platform in any way

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your access to the platform and all associated data will cease. Zuku will retain your data for a period of 30 days after termination, after which it may be permanently deleted. You are advised to export your data before account closure.

  • Interruptions or downtime of the platform due to maintenance, technical issues, or force majeure events

  • Disputes between Merchants and their customers

In any event, Zuku's total cumulative liability to you shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Zuku in the 3 months immediately preceding the claim.

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in India.

We encourage you to contact us at support@zuku.live before initiating any legal proceedings, as many issues can be resolved amicably.

Zuku reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. Continued use of the platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
