1. Overview
LuxeMart operates as a curated marketplace connecting verified sellers with discerning buyers. This policy outlines the rules, expectations, and operational standards that all participants must follow to maintain a premium shopping experience.
By accessing, selling, or purchasing on LuxeMart, you agree to comply with these guidelines alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. LuxeMart reserves the right to update this policy with reasonable notice.
2. Seller Requirements
To list products on LuxeMart, sellers must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 18 years of age with legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.
- Provide valid government-issued identification and tax documentation.
- Maintain a verified business or individual seller account.

3. Product Listings & Quality
Listing Standards
All product listings must include accurate titles, detailed descriptions, high-resolution images (minimum 3), and correct categorization. Misleading information, keyword stuffing, or fabricated reviews will result in immediate listing removal.
Quality Control
Sellers are responsible for ensuring all items meet premium quality standards. LuxeMart may conduct random audits or require third-party authentication for luxury goods, electronics, and high-value items. Defective, counterfeit, or damaged goods will trigger automatic refunds to buyers and account penalties for sellers.
4. Pricing, Fees & Payouts
LuxeMart charges a commission fee ranging from 8% to 15% per sale, depending on the product category. Additional fees may apply for premium visibility, featured placements, or expedited payout processing.
Payouts are processed monthly via bank transfer or approved digital payment methods. Funds are held in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt or the return window closes. Tax compliance is the seller's responsibility.
5. Shipping & Fulfillment
Sellers must ship orders within 2 business days unless otherwise stated. LuxeMart requires tracking information to be uploaded to the dashboard within 24 hours of dispatch. All shipments must include branded packaging standards where applicable.
International orders must comply with customs regulations, and sellers are responsible for accurate HS codes, import duties, and shipping insurance. LuxeMart's logistics partners may be used for fulfillment, subject to seller agreement.
6. Customer Service & Disputes
Sellers must respond to buyer inquiries within 12 hours during business days. LuxeMart provides a mediated dispute resolution system for issues including late deliveries, damaged items, or product mismatches.
Refund requests must be processed within 48 hours of approval. Chronic failure to resolve disputes, high return rates, or negative seller metrics may result in account suspension or removal from the marketplace.
