Role-Specific Terms

3.1. Guest

Scope: Applies to users browsing the Platform without an Account.

Data Collection: NGMT Limited collects IP addresses, cookies, and browsing behavior per the Privacy Policy to personalize experiences and optimize performance.

Acceptable Use: Guests must not extract data via automated systems, transmit harmful content, or disrupt Platform functionality.

Liability: Guests use the Platform at their own risk. NGMT Limited and ImaKOL Market Limited are not liable for content accuracy or availability.

Cookies: Third-party cookies may collect browsing data, subject to third-party privacy policies. Disabling cookies may limit functionality.

3.2. Consumer

Scope: Applies to users purchasing Products on the website.

Account Registration: Consumers must register an Account, providing accurate Registration Data (e.g., name, email, payment details). ImaKOL Market Limited may refuse or cancel registrations at its discretion.

Order Process: Product information on the website is an invitation to treat. No Contract exists between you and a Merchant until the Merchant ships the Products to your address. After submitting an Order, you will receive an Order Acknowledgment email from ImaKOL Market Limited confirming receipt, which does not constitute acceptance. Acceptance occurs only when the Merchant ships the Products, confirmed by a shipment notification email sent by ImaKOL Market Limited. If an Order includes multiple Products, they may be delivered in separate packages at different times, and each Contract relates only to the Products delivered.

Pricing and Payment: Product prices are set by Merchants and displayed on the website in multiple currencies (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) for your convenience, based on your location or preferences. All transactions are finalized in the currency specified by ImaKOL Market Limited at checkout. Prices displayed at checkout are binding. If ImaKOL Market Limited discovers a pricing error in your Order, we may cancel the Order and notify you via email. To minimize unauthorized access, ImaKOL Market Limited encrypts your card data during transmission and does not retain credit card or bank account information, which is handled solely by third-party payment providers. Payment requires pre-authorization to confirm sufficient funds, and your card will be debited upon Order Acknowledgment. Promotional codes must be entered at the online checkout page; physical presentation is not accepted. By clicking "Submit Order," you confirm that the card or payment method belongs to you and has sufficient funds to cover the cost.

Delivery: Merchants are responsible for delivering Products to the address you specify in your Order. ImaKOL Market Limited facilitates communication between you and the Merchant but does not handle shipping. Delivery timelines are set by Merchants and communicated at checkout or in the Order Acknowledgment. ImaKOL Market Limited will notify you if a Merchant reports anticipated delays, but neither ImaKOL Market Limited nor NGMT Limited is liable for losses arising from late delivery, to the extent permitted by law. Upon delivery, you may need to sign for receipt. If you are unavailable, the Merchant may attempt re-delivery or contact you to arrange alternatives. Risk in the Product passes to you upon delivery, unless delayed by your breach of obligations (e.g., providing an incorrect address), in which case risk passes when delivery would have occurred. Delivery may not be possible to some locations; the Merchant will inform you via ImaKOL Market Limited, and we may arrange cancellation if no alternative address is provided.

Returns and Refunds: Subject to Merchant policies, facilitated by ImaKOL Market Limited. Refunds may be issued as Award Points, non-exchangeable for cash. ImaKOL Market Limited is not liable for faulty Products or refund disputes.

Award Points: Earned on net payments, valid for one year, non-transferable, and forfeited on Account deletion. ImaKOL Market Limited may cancel Points for fraud or breaches.

Consumer Responsibilities for Product Disputes: As NGMT Limited and ImaKOL Market Limited act solely as facilitators between Consumers and Merchants, Consumers acknowledge that any dissatisfaction, claims, or disputes related to the quality, safety, legality, or performance of Products must be directed solely to the Merchant responsible for the Product's sale and delivery. Consumers agree not to initiate legal action against NGMT Limited or ImaKOL Market Limited for Product-related issues, as the Platform does not manufacture, sell, or deliver Products. Consumers further agree to exhaust all dispute resolution mechanisms provided by the Merchant and ImaKOL Market Limited's mediation process before pursuing any legal action. Frivolous, vexatious, or baseless legal actions against NGMT Limited or ImaKOL Market Limited may result in the Consumer being liable for all associated legal costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by NGMT Limited or ImaKOL Market Limited.

3.3. Merchant

Scope: Applies to users listing Products on the website through ImaKOL Market Limited or subscribing to SaaS Services provided by NGMT Limited for KOL marketing management.

Eligibility and Registration: Merchants confirm they are authorized to conduct business and list Products in their country of operation through ImaKOL Market Limited, and warrant authority to bind their entity for SaaS subscriptions with NGMT Limited. They must provide accurate Registration Data (e.g., country, contact details, organization details) and update promptly. NGMT Limited or ImaKOL Market Limited may reject or cancel registrations for false data or violations.

Product Listings: Merchants must procure and list Products in good faith on the website, providing accurate, comprehensive information in English and Chinese. They must update inventory promptly and refrain from listing prohibited, infringing, or reputation-harming Products. ImaKOL Market Limited oversees product listings and sales.

Order Fulfillment: Merchants must fulfill Orders within promised delivery windows, provide post-sales support (e.g., inquiries, returns), and comply with Relevant Rules. They must retain delivery receipts for 180 days and provide them upon ImaKOL Market Limited's request.

SaaS Subscription: NGMT Limited provides tools for KOL selection, campaign management, performance tracking, analytics, profile creation, sponsor connections, and payment processing. Subscriptions auto-renew unless opted out 30 days prior via the Platform's account management portal. Fees are paid monthly or annually to NGMT Limited, with 1.5% monthly interest on late payments. Additional licenses are prorated and charged immediately.

Commissions and Fees: Merchants pay ImaKOL Market Limited a percentage of gross revenue as commission for listed Products, varying by product category, plus additional fees (e.g., listing, marketing). ImaKOL Market Limited may adjust rates with notice. Material changes require mutual consent.

3.4. KOL

Scope: Applies to users subscribing to SaaS Services provided by NGMT Limited and/or participating in the KOL Program hosted by ImaKOL Market Limited.

SaaS Subscription: NGMT Limited provides tools for profile creation, sponsor connections, campaign management, payment processing, and analytics.

Fees are paid monthly or annually to NGMT Limited, with 1% monthly interest on late payments.

KOL Program: KOLs perform Advertising Services, promoting Products via KOL's Media and earning Commissions from ImaKOL Market Limited on consumer purchases. They must select campaigns, comply with KPIs set by ImaKOL Market Limited, and ensure Advertising Materials are accurate, lawful, and compliant with disclosure laws (e.g., #ad). KOLs must provide verified Financial Details to ImaKOL Market Limited before receiving Commissions. Failure to provide or update within one year results in payment forfeiture, with ImaKOL Market Limited notifying KOLs of non-transferable payments. Commissions are paid monthly on the first day after data validation by ImaKOL Market Limited, via bank transfer or e-wallet, with each party bearing respective fees. ImaKOL Market Limited may deduct Commissions for unpaid Client payments, overpayments, failure to meet requirements, or invalid transactions (e.g., fraud, cancellations, resales).

Performance Assessment: ImaKOL Market Limited records performance periodically, with ImaKOL Market Limited's data prevailing in discrepancies. KOLs may check performance via online reports and must report disagreements immediately, with no claims accepted post-validation.

Compliance: KOLs must ensure KOL's Media complies with application store terms and Applicable Laws (e.g., intellectual property, privacy).
