In case, at the time of loading the Products, the Seller does not associate the Products with the products with identical characteristics and specifications existing on the Foyzo Platform and does not remedy this situation within 3 (three) days from the notification sent by Foyzo, Foyzo reserves the right to automatically associate or block the Products for which the conditions of association were not respected, without being held liable for any damages or non-realization of forecast revenues, until the situation is remedied.
If, during the course of the activity, the Seller does not allow other traders to associate their products with characteristics and specifications identical with the Products sold on the Foyzo Platform or, if, after other sellers associate their products with characteristics and specifications identical to its Products, the Seller undertakes any action (including abusive changes in the name and / or description of the Products) that could prevent the other sellers from carrying out their activity on the Foyzo Platform under normal conditions, Foyzo reserves the right to remove from the Foyzo Platform the Products regarding where the conditions of association were not respected or taking any other necessary measures so that the other Sellers can carry out their activity on the Foyzo Platform under normal conditions.
If a particular Product has been disassociated from the product of another seller, the Seller will have the obligation to no longer associate with the product from which it was disassociated;
b. At the time of association, the identity of the Product brand must also be taken into account. The association can be made in this case, provided that the products, although they have identical characteristics and specifications, also overlap at the brand level;
In the case of the association of the products on which it cannot be proved that the associated and commercialized products are the same as those marketed by the holder of the documentation and implicitly those presented on the platform, they will be disassociated.
In situations where there will be suspicions, following an internal analysis or following notifications regarding the existence of abusive behavior on Foyzo Platform, regarding the associations, Foyzo will be able to order, as a first measure, the Temporary Suspension of the Seller in order to avoid possible damage caused by this behavior.
c. The Seller will ensure that the Rules regarding the listing of the Products are observed and that it presents complete and correct information to the clients in order to reflect the real characteristics of the product in the offer.
In order to improve the content of the platform and the quality of existing offers, when Foyzo identifies on the Foyzo Platform offers that do not comply with the Rules regarding the listing of the Products or do not present complete and correct information to clients, Foyzo may send recommendations to the Seller holder of documentation regarding the necessity of modification / completion of documentation.
If the Seller refuses to comply with the recommendation within 3 days of receiving it, Foyzo will be able to send the same recommendation to all eligible sellers. Based on an algorithm whose description can be found in the “Foyzo Academy” section of the Seller’s account in the Marketplace Platform, the eligibility of the sellers who will receive the possibility to make changes on the documentation will be established.
If at least one of the associated sellers requests the updating / modification / improvement of the documentation, the seller will proceed with the update / modification / improvement without the initial Seller that published the documentation being able to claim its rights over the images / texts or other rights resulting from the creation and uploading of documentation.
If none of the associated sellers requests the updating / modification / improvement of the documentation, Foyzo will have the possibility to take over the documentation in order to update / modify / improve it without the Seller who initially published the documentation being able to claim its rights over the images / texts or other rights resulting from the creation and uploading of documentation.
The documentation, materials and/or imagaes related to a product may not be downloaded and used in other environments such as platforms, web pages, physical materials, but not limited to them, except with the prior consent of the initial owner or within the limit of loaded materials.
The Seller who made the modification of the documentation undertakes the responsibility for the entire content of the documentation, both the taken over and the added one, being the one to respond in the event of receiving a notification of infringement of intellectual property rights or other breaches.
In order to ensure the most complete documentation and a correct and complete information of the users of the Foyzo Platform, in case Foyzo lists an offer for an existing product, it will take over and improve the existing documentation for that product, the existing Sellers on that offer will become associated with the Foyzo documentation and have the possibility to propose updates / modifications / improvements but without being able to raise claims regarding its rights over images / texts or other rights resulting from the creation and uploading of documentation.
In order to ensure the most complete documentation and a correct and complete information of the users of the Foyzo Platform, in case Foyzo identifies in the listed offers of the Sellers, missing and / or incomplete information from the dedicated fields of the documentation (e.g. dimensions, colors, etc. .), Foyzo can complete those information, based on the information uploaded by Seller in the respective documentation (e.g. the dimensions of a product are mentioned only in its title and through this process they are introduced in the dedicated section).
d. If it is found that the Seller has not complied with the obligation not to make multiple listings of the same product, thus diminishing the Customer’s experience, i.e. hindering searches on the Platform, Foyzo may take the measure of blocking the identical offer with the most recent date.

FAIR-COMMERCIAL PRACTICES POLICY APPENDIX
The Terms and Conditions (including the Appendix Terms and Conditions, Commercial Appendix, Performance Indicators Appendix and Rules of Conduct, Appendix Regarding Personal Data Protection, Fair-Commercial Practices Policy Appendix as well as any other appendix) represent the entire contractual relationship between Foyzo and the Seller with respect to the presentation and sale of the Products by the Seller through the Foyzo Platform.
Considering:
- That the Seller is responsible for setting its commercial conditions and how to present them on the Foyzo Platform;
- That any action of the Seller on the Foyzo Platform may affect the reputation of the Platform, Foyzo as well as the other sellers;
- That the reputation of the sales channel is a key element of the successful marketing of the products on the Foyzo platform;
- That Foyzo wishes to assure all parties accessing the Foyzo platform a fair treatment according to good commercial practices;
- That in connection with certain events, some actions of the Sellers can bring a higher risk of exploiting, abusing or misleading Customers and damaging the trust of Customers in the Foyzo platform;
- The provisions of article 9.3 of the Terms and Conditions according to which “Foyzo reserved the right that, in case the obligations undertaken by the Seller in accordance with the Terms and Conditions are not respected by the latter and such cause negative effects on the activity and image of Foyzo, to forbid the Seller’s access to his account on the Foyzo Marketplace Platform”.
In the event that certain actions by Sellers, undertaken on the Foyzo Platform, may lead to a higher risk of exploiting Customers, abusing and/or misleading them, such actions are not only harmful to Customers, but undermine the trust of Customers in the Foyzo Platform. In this context, Foyzo, in order to safeguard the interest of Customers and to protect the reputation of the Foyzo Platform, can, depending on the severity and / or the number of violations, undertake the following measures:
- losing the first position on the product page and including the offer in “Other offers”;
- Blocking the Product / Products;
- Temporary Suspension;
- Inactivation of the Seller.
The following practices are examples of practices that, may be considered as unfair and harming the Customers and/or the Foyzo Platform:
- Establishing a reference or selling price significantly (unjustified) higher than the one recently practiced or a price that has been increased successively significantly at short intervals without apparent objective justifications (for example, situations of exploitation of product crises, situations of force majeure (war, epidemics, etc.) or other situations where, without explanation, successive price increases are perceived by customers / consumers as abusive);
- Imposing transport fees that are obviously disproportionate to the type of product and service requested. Foyzo will take into account the current rates charged by the couriers as well as the perception (feedback) of the Customers regarding the respective transport tax and the extent to which it is perceived to have violated a fair pricing policy.
In addition, the following practices are examples of practices that may be considered as harming the Customers and/or the Foyzo Platform as a result of being misleading and/or abusive:
- misleading displays by referring to certain promotions or commercial discounts where no genuine advantage is given to Customers, including in view of prior prices of the relevant products or services;
- promotion of products or services accompanied by other services and products promoted as free, although they are granted free as a result of legal obligations;
- providing misleading or harmful information to morals, ethics or respect for society in general (for example, it will not be allowed to supply anti-ethnic products, etc.);
- selling a package consisting of several units of the same product, respectively from different products at a price per unit, where the package price is higher than the individual selling price of the unit, respectively of the product;
- promoting products in a misleading manner that violates applicable consumer protection rules or that infringes the intellectual property rights of Foyzo or other third parties.
