Terms and Conditions

2.1 Service Tiers and Feature Flagging

• The MVP Free Tier: At launch, the Platform defaults exclusively to a free access model. No subscription payments are captured during this initial product release.

• Feature Gating: Higher-tier subscription configurations (including the Starter, Pro, and Enterprise tiers) are displayed within the system user interface but are functionally dimmed out and inaccessible pending future flags. We reserve the right to unblur, modify, or activate these paid subscription features and their associated limits at any time, subject to reasonable advance notification via your platform dashboard.

3.1 Verification and Authentication

• Identity Infrastructure: During the account setup and subsequent security checks, the Platform utilizes your email address and active phone number to dispatch security verification elements and One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

• User Capacity: By completing this verification flow, you warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and hold full legal capacity inside your operational jurisdiction.

• Credentials Confidentiality: You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your hashed entry passwords and transaction pins. You accept absolute accountability for all database modifications, inventory changes, or settings updates occurring under your validated security session. You must flag any structural security compromise or suspected unauthorized session token access to legal@storrverse.com immediately.

• Data Protection Reference: During the account setup and subsequent security checks, the Platform utilizes your email address and active phone number to dispatch security verification elements and One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

4.1 Product and Inventory Boundaries

• Overselling Controls: The Platform requires you to explicitly assign a stock quantity variable to each listed item. By default, when product stock parameters reach zero, the system automatically toggles the storefront interface to display an "Out of Stock" status badge and disables customer "Add to Cart" hooks. Merchants may override this constraint only by manually selecting the "Continue selling when out of stock" setting checkbox within their catalog configuration workspace.

• Prohibited Items: You are strictly prohibited from utilizing Storrverse infrastructure to publish, market, or distribute counterfeit goods, stolen inventory, unauthorized digital reproductions, weapons, unregulated items, or any products tied to fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive business practices.

4.2 Independent Customer Transactions

• Third-Party Boundary: Storrverse is a technical software infrastructure provider; we are completely isolated from the transactional contract executed between a Merchant and an end-customer. We are not a party to, nor liable for, order fulfillments, shipping disputes, item defects, or direct customer refunds.

• Storefront Legal Policies: Merchants are legally mandated to draft, upload, and display their own distinct terms of service and consumer privacy statements directly onto their storefront layouts to protect public buyer expectations.

4.3 Tax and Regulatory Frameworks

• Third-Party Boundary: Merchants hold sole accountability for tracking, reporting, and remitting any regional Value Added Tax (VAT) or transactional sales levies calculated via their dashboard settings panels. The platform outlines localized defaults (such as Nigeria's statutory 7.5% VAT parameter), but the final submission integrity remains an un-delegated merchant compliance obligation.

5.1 Webhook-Driven Processing

• Third-Party Boundary: Anti-Phantom Order Protections: To prevent transaction gaps, the creation of a definitive "Paid" order inside the merchant dashboard is structurally dependent on an incoming transaction confirmation webhook fired from the respective gateway processor. Storrverse accepts zero liability for transactional processing delays, payout settlement delays, or technical errors originating on partner gateway systems.

• PCI-DSS Compliance: Because all payment details are tokenized directly through inline provider modules, Storrverse does not ingest, manipulate, or warehouse raw customer debit or credit card properties on its local multi-tenant databases.

7.1 Merchant Content Licensure

Third-Party Boundary: You preserve total ownership over all custom text descriptions, category assets, pricing spreadsheets, brand imagery, and multimedia elements uploaded to your tenant workspace. By publishing these assets to the platform, you grant Storrverse a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to parse, mirror, compress, format, and serve your assets through our content delivery networks (CDNs) strictly for the functional delivery of your public storefront.

7.2 Platform Proprietary Security

All structural components of the Platform (including dashboard application software, backend microservice flows, design components, custom theme frameworks, layouts, operational metrics widgets, and corporate branding properties [excluding direct merchant product configurations]) are the absolute, exclusive property of Storrverse and BillyRanks Global Limited. You are strictly barred from duplicating or extracting these framework elements for personal or competitive distribution without written administrative authorization.

8.1 'As Is' System Provision

The Storrverse Platform, alongside all underlying service frameworks and database models, is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any context, whether express, statutory, or implied. We explicitly disclaim any implied guarantees of merchantability, continuous system performance, uninterrupted uptime during background database migrations, or total fitness for specialized retail activities.

8.2 Definitive Liability Constraints

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable consumer data protections and regional laws, Storrverse, its directors, and parent entities accept no liability for any indirect, consequence-driven, structural, or incidental losses. This covers loss of merchant marketplace revenue, missed profit curves, depletion of transactional store records, or reputational impact tied to storefront downtime. Where liability cannot be legally disclaimed under statutory jurisdiction rules, our total aggregate financial liability across all claims shall not exceed the actual subscription fees paid by the merchant during the immediate three-month period preceding the specific incident.

8.3 Force Majeure:

Storrverse shall not be liable for delays or failures in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, internet outages, strikes, or other unforeseen circumstances.
