Third party merchants offer the goods & services. The Service provides an opportunity to record transactions from independent third party merchants (“Merchants”). These Merchants provide their respective Products subject to their own terms and conditions. To illustrate:

Airtime: If you choose to sell pre-paid airtime from your POS, you do so pursuant to the relevant terms and conditions of your POS provider.
Utilities: If you choose to sell pre-paid electricity or water from your POS, you do so pursuant to the relevant terms and conditions of the POS provider.

If you decide to sell Products such as these from third party Merchants, you do so at your own risk and subject to the relevant Merchant’s terms and conditions. The Products are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness by FareTabs. By permitting you to record POS transactions via the Service, FareTabs does not imply approval or endorsement of such Products. You agree that FareTabs is not responsible or liable for the Products you purchase or sell from Merchants.

Product inquiries should be submitted to the relevant Merchant. If you have any questions, concerns or requests related to a Product you have sold from a Merchant (E.g., POS Withdrawals, POS Airtime Top-up, etc), please contact the Merchant directly.
