1 Introduction and contract formation

1.1 Barket provides a curated online marketing platform on the Website. The Seller has or intends to list products on this platform.

1.2 The relationship between Seller and Barket is one of principal and agent. When a Customer purchases a product from the Website, the contract for sale is formed between the Customer and Seller. The product is shipped by Seller directly to the Customer and does not come into the ownership or possession of Barket at any time. In relation to such contracts, Barket acts solely as the agent of Seller. Barket also provides various marketing and advertising services to promote the sale of Seller's products.

1.3 By listing products or using the Website as a marketing platform, the Seller agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1.4 Barket may amend these terms and conditions and the applicable Commission rate and Fees from time to time and will notify Seller of any such amendments. By continuing to use the Website as a marketing platform after receiving such notification, Seller will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by such amendments.

1.5 Capitalised terms are defined in clause 15.

2 Term and termination

2.1 This Agreement will commence on the date on which Seller lists products on the website and will continue for an indefinite period, subject to termination under clause 2.2.

2.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by giving notice of termination to the other.

2.3 On termination of this Agreement (a) Barket may immediately remove Seller’s product listings and Information from the Website; and (b) Seller will continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement for Orders received before termination. See also Clause 13.1

3 Agency relationship

3.1 Seller irrevocably and unconditionally appoints Barket as Seller's agent to (a) offer and sell products that Seller lists on the marketplace; (b) enter into agreements with Customers for the sale of such products on the Standard Customer Terms and any other terms and conditions permitted or contemplated under this Agreement; and (c) do all other things necessary or desirable in relation to the promotion, sale and supply of Seller's products on the Website, including promotion through print catalogues, print advertisements, Google AdWords, Facebook, Instagram, marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, Trade Me and Catch, and other print and electronic media channels.

3.2. When a Customer makes a purchase on the Website, Barket in its capacity as Seller's agent will cause the Website to automatically generate an invoice for that transaction. Seller will not render any separate or additional invoice in respect of such sale.

3.3 Seller acknowledges that Barket is not a party to, and has no obligations under or in relation to, any agreement that is formed between Seller and a Customer for the sale and purchase of any product.

3.4 Seller assumes all liability for the performance of all obligations and the discharge of all liabilities under or in relation to (a) all agreements for the sale of a product on the Website; (b) any product supplied by Seller to a Customer; (c) the fulfilment of any Order accepted by Barket on behalf of Seller; (d) the publication of Seller's Information on the Website; and (c) any Loss or Tax relating to or arising out of the supply or sale of any product by the Seller from one territory to a Customer located in, or purporting to be located in, another territory.

3.5 Seller indemnifies Barket against any Losses or Claims suffered or incurred by Barket in relation to (a) any agreement that is formed between Seller and a Customer for the purchase of any product by a Customer from Seller; (b) any product supplied by Seller to a Customer; (c) any Order accepted by Barket on behalf of Seller; (d) the publication of any of Seller's Information on the Website; (e) any breach by Seller of this agreement; and (f) any cost, expense, loss, claim, action or proceedings incurred by or made against Barket relating to or arising out of any Tax that relates to or arises out of the supply or sale of any product by the Seller from one territory to a Customer located in, or purporting to be located in, another territory.

4 Seller Administration Section on the Website

4.1 Barket will provide a Seller Administration Section on the Website where Seller can set up a Store and enter, edit and update product details and manage Orders.

4.2 Seller will provide the necessary computer hardware, software and internet services to access and use the Seller Administration Section. Barket has no responsibility for the provision, support and maintenance of any of the Seller's hardware or software.

4.3 Seller will ensure that at all times (a) all computer hardware and software it uses to access and interoperate with the Website is equipped and functions with up-to-date software and protection against Viruses; and (b) that information supplied electronically to Barket and to the Website is submitted free from Viruses.

4.4 The Seller Administration Section requires Seller to set up a password. Seller will keep any such password confidential, not disclose it to any third party and notify Barket if Seller suspects there has been any improper use or disclosure. Seller is responsible for any access to or use of a Store that is made with Seller's password unless and until Seller has notified Barket of any suspected improper use.

4.5 Seller will not (a) use the Seller Administration Section or the Website beyond the scope of use contemplated by this Agreement; (b) access the Seller Administration Section or the Website unlawfully; (c) modify or make derivative works based on the Website; (d) attempt to reverse engineer or access the backend of the Website with the intention of creating a competitive product or service; or (e) copy or build any concepts, features, functions or graphics based on the Website. Seller acknowledges that damages may not provide an adequate remedy for breach of this clause and that Barket will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent the occurrence or continuance of any alleged breach.

5 Seller's Store and the Website

5.1 Barket will provide Seller with a User Manual containing instructions on how to list products on the marketplace.

5.2 Seller will not promote or include any reference to any other business or website (including Seller's Website) in its product listings.

5.3 Seller will ensure that Seller's Information:

  • is accurate, complete, up-to-date and not misleading or deceptive;
  • does not contain any Virus (including any computer program or code that can disrupt the operation of software, hardware or systems, or cause file deletions, file modifications or other effects that are not part of the functionality of software, hardware or systems);
  • complies with all applicable laws;
  • is not: (a) defamatory or in contempt of any legal or other proceedings; (b) indecent, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, offensive or of doubtful propriety; (c) of a menacing character; (d) discriminatory to any group of persons including groups defined by reference to colour, race, sex, origin, nationality or ethnic or national origins; or (e) offensive or denouncing of political or religious beliefs.

5.4 If Seller chooses to designate a product as Exclusive in its product listings, Seller will ensure that such product is and continues to be Exclusive for as long as it is so designated.

5.5 Seller will not offer any liquor product for sale unless such offer and sale complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

5.7 Seller will not do anything that adversely affects the reputation or goodwill of Barket or the Website. Barket may immediately remove any product or any of Seller's Information from the Store and the Website if Barket believes that it fails to comply with this Agreement, or that it is inconsistent with the 'look and feel' of the Website.

5.8 The Marketplace Seller warrants that they are the legal owner of all items listed in the Marketplace Seller’s inventory.

5.9 Seller acknowledges that Barket retains the absolute and unconditional right to determine:

  • the nature of all other sellers using the Website and products offered for purchase using the Website (including products that are the same or similar to Seller's products); and
  • the manner in which the Website is presented (including the nature and arrangement of content, the categorisation of products, the order in which products and sellers are presented, features, functionality, advertising, links and the 'look and feel').

6 Seller's terms of supply

6.1 Seller will offer, sell and supply products to purchasers who use the Website on the Standard Customer Terms and on no other terms and conditions.

6.2 Seller acknowledges that Barket is not responsible for providing Seller with any legal advice on the Standard Customer Terms. Seller should obtain its own legal advice to determine whether the Standard Customer Terms are suitable for the Seller and its products.

6.3 Subject to clause 6.4, Seller will offer its Customers Free Standard Tracked Shipping on all products purchased through the Website. Seller may also offer its Customers additional shipping options at cost, including express post, courier and (in the case of Non-Australian Sellers) fast courier to Australia.

6.4 In the case of unusually heavy or bulky items, Barket may in its absolute discretion permit Seller to charge for Standard Shipping. If Seller wishes to list any such items, Seller will first discuss the proposed charges with Barket and will not proceed to impose such charges without specific approval from Barket.

6.5 Unless otherwise agreed by Barket, Seller will ensure that the prices of products offered for purchase in the marketplace are the same as or lower than the prices for those products available for purchase on Seller's Website.

7 Customer Orders, payment and fulfilment

Sellers are responsible for dispatching their sold items to buyers. If you're using a delivery or fulfilment service, please keep in mind that you are ultimately responsible for making sure that your buyers receive their orders.

7.1 If a Customer places an Order:

  • Barket will collect payment for that Order on behalf of Seller using the payment mechanisms made available by Barket, provided however that Barket may decline to collect or process any payment at its discretion (for example, in the case of fraudulent or suspicious Orders); and
  • Upon receipt of payment for the Order, Barket will (a) notify Seller of the Order by email alert; and (b) include details of the Order in the Seller Administration Section for access by Seller.

7.2 Upon notification of an Order, Seller will:

  • fulfill the Order by shipping the relevant product with within 2 business day or within such other period specified in the dispatch note which Seller has set for that product in Seller's Store;
  • include a packing slip with each shipped Order in the form specified by Barket, together with any other materials which Barket may require to be included; and
  • promptly update the order status in the Seller Administration Section to indicate that the product has been shipped;

7.3 Seller will not include Seller's Website URL, contact particulars or any marketing materials with a shipped Order, other than those required by or pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4 If Seller ships a product in fulfilment of an Order and the Customer does not receive the product for any reason, Seller will promptly ensure that alternative fulfilment arrangements are executed.

7.5 It is the marketplace seller’s responsibility to login and verify whether or not new orders were received. Reliance solely on automated order notifications and order files does not eclipse the seller’s responsibility to login and verify the receipt of new orders.

8 Returns, refunds, disputed payments and dissatisfied Customers

8.1 Seller will adopt and adhere to the Returns Policy. Sellers may offer Customers additional rights of return or replacement provided that such rights are more favourable to the Customer.

8.2 Barket will use its best endeavours to resolve Customer enquiries relating to returns and refunds and in accordance with the Returns Policy, in its capacity as agent for the Seller. In cases which are resolved by the issue of a Store Credit or a refund (a) Seller will reimburse Barket for the value of the Store Credit of refund; and (b) Barket will not charge Commission in relation to the sale in question and will create a credit in favour of Seller for any Commission that has already been paid.

8.3 If a Customer disputes a payment charged for an Order (a) Barket will notify Seller of the dispute and provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to demonstrate why the payment should not be reversed or charged-back; (b) Seller will provide Barket with all reasonable information, assistance and co-operation required to resolve the dispute within the timeframes imposed by the Website Payment Provider. In cases which are resolved by the reversal of the payment (a) Seller will reimburse Barket for any Charge-back Fee; and (b) Barket will not charge Commission in relation to the sale in question and will create a credit in favour of Seller for any Commission that has already been paid. A high number of chargebacks for your Marketplace Seller account will result in further action by Barket.

8.4 Orders that cannot be fulfilled and require cancellation must be notified to Barket within 2 business days. An excessive amount of cancellations may result in account suspension until any issues are resolved.

8.5 The return rate is calculated by dividing the number of returns by the total number of orders placed. Excessively high return rates could negatively impact a Marketplace Seller’s account status. The target return rate for all Marketplace Sellers is less than 10%. Marketplace Sellers that have a significantly higher return rate than 10% may face account suspension or other corrective actions.

8.6 Customer service is the highest priority for Barket and we expect the same to be true for all Marketplace Sellers on our marketplace. It is the Marketplace Seller’s responsibility to accurately describe product listings, quickly and accurately confirm orders, ship items in a timely fashion as outlined in these guidelines, and resolve customer issues in a courteous and professional manner. Failure to adhere to the highest standards for customer service and efficient fulfillment may lead to a Marketplace Seller’s suspension pending the resolution of any issues.

8.7 Barket reserves the right to make final decisions regarding disputes for all orders that occur on the marketplace.

9 Barket Commission and Fees and net payment to Seller

9.1 Barket charges the seller a commission in relation to each order received for the seller's products through the Barket marketplace.

9.2 The commission rate ranges from 30-40% depending on the value of the goods sold, and is charged only on the final product selling price after discounts applied (commission is not charged on any shipping charges paid by customer). The commission structure is stipulated below:

 Product Selling Price (AUD) Commission %
$0 - $100 30%
$100 - $200 35%
$200+ 40%

9.3 Barket offers free standard shipping and $10 express shipping. When a customer orders from multiple sellers and requires express shipping they will pay the express shipping charge on each individual item. Each seller in the order will receive the $10 shipping fee in their payout. 

9.4 Seller payouts are processed every business day via our seller administration section. Seller payouts are paid to a seller's nomimated paypal or bank account. Barket will deduct any adjustments for store credits or refunds from the payouts it has collected pursuant to clauses 7 and 8 and any GST calculated pursuant to clause 11.4, and will pay the net amount to the seller. Barket will provide Seller with an electronic statement showing details of how the net amount is calculated, including any credits or offsets pursuant to clauses 7 and 8.

9.5 Barket may reduce any amounts payable to Seller under this Agreement by any amount that is payable by Seller to Barket.

9.6 Barket and Non-Australian Sellers may agree from time to time to defer payments pursuant to clause 9.2 in order to minimise bank and other intermediary charges in relation to international fund transfers.

10 GST for Australian Sellers

10.1 This clause 10 applies only to Australian Sellers.

10.2 Seller must supply a valid ABN and be registered for GST.

10.3 Invoices issued by Barket pursuant to clauses 3.2 and 9.2(a) will be inclusive of GST, except for items that are GST-free. Prior to listing any GST-free item for sale on the Website, Seller will advise Barket of its intention to do so and will not proceed unless alternative arrangements have been made in relation to the invoices.

10.4 If the Delivery Address for the Order is in Australia, the invoice generated pursuant to clause 3.2 and the net amount paid to Seller pursuant to clause 9.2(b) will include GST that Seller is required to collect from the Customer. Seller acknowledges that it is liable to report and remit such GST to the Australian Commissioner of Taxation.

10.5 If the Delivery Address for the Order is not in Australia, the invoice generated pursuant to clause 3.2 and the net amount paid to Seller pursuant to clause 9.2(b) will not include any GST component. In respect of such Orders, Seller will ensure that the products are exported within the time period referred to in Clause 7.2 or within 60 days from the date of the Order, whichever first occurs.

11 GST for Non-Australian Sellers

11.1 This clause 11 applies only to Non-Australian Sellers. Solely for the purpose of Division 84 of the GST Law (governing offshore supplies), Barket is deemed to operate an Electronic Distribution Platform and to be the supplier of any Low Value Goods purchased through that platform and shipped to a Delivery Address in Australia.

11.2 Seller warrants that (a) it is not carrying on an enterprise or business in Australia; and (b) it is not registered or required to be registered for GST.

11.3 Title to the products sold by a Non-Australian Seller pursuant to any Order will pass outside Australia. If the Customer provides a Delivery Address in Australia, that Customer will be responsible for importing the goods to Australia.

11.4 If (a) the Order is for Low Value Goods other than tobacco, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages or products that are GST-free; (b) the Delivery Address for the Order is in Australia; (c) the Customer is not an Australian GST-registered business making the purchase for business use; and (d) the Order is not shipped as part of an aggregate consignment of goods with a total value of over A$1,000, the invoice generated pursuant to clauses 3.2 and 9.2(a) will include GST that Barket is required to collect and remit to the Australian Commissioner of Taxation and the amount paid to Seller pursuant to clause 9.2(b) will be net of this GST component.

11.5 Seller will not offer any tobacco, alcoholic beverage or GST-free product for sale on the Website without first notifying Barket and making a special arrangement with Barket to ensure compliance with the GST Law in relation to such sale. In the absence of such notification and special arrangement, Barket will not be liable to refund any GST that it has collected and remitted to the Australian Commissioner of Taxation pursuant to clause [Note: Tobacco, tobacco products and alcoholic beverages are excluded from the Low Value Goods provisions of the GST Law and are assessed for taxes and duties at the point of importation to Australia. Products that are GST-free include basic fresh foods, some medical aids and appliances, some medicines and some education materials. It would be highly unusual for a product of a kind typically available on the Website to be classified as GST-free.]

11.6 If the Delivery Address for the Order is not in Australia, the invoice generated pursuant to clauses 3.2 and 9.2(a) and the net amount paid to Seller pursuant to clause 9.2(b) will not include any GST component.

12 Exclusions of and limitations on liability

12.1 Seller acknowledges and agrees that:

  • it is not feasible for Barket to ensure that the Website is available at all times or that it is error-free or Virus-free and the internet is not necessarily a secure or reliable method of communication;

  • in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or
  • in the case of services, the supplying of the services again, or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

12.5 Subject to clauses 12.6 and 12.7 and subject to Barket's obligations under any Non-Excludable Provisions, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Barket's maximum aggregate liability for all claims under or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter which arise at any time during or after the Term, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), in equity, under statute, under an indemnity, based on fundamental breach or breach of a fundamental term or on any other basis, is limited to the lesser of $2,000 and the aggregate amount of Commissions and Fees that Barket has received from Seller.

12.6 The limitation in clause 12.5 does not apply to Barket's obligation to remit payments to Seller that are collected by Barket under this Agreement.

12.7 Subject to Barket's obligations under any Non-Excludable Provisions, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Barket is not liable for, and no measure of damages will, under any circumstances, include special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive damages or damages for loss of profits, goodwill, anticipated savings or Loss or corruption of data whether in contract, tort (including negligence), in equity, under statute, under an indemnity, based on fundamental breach or breach of a fundamental term, or on any other basis.

13 Intellectual property rights

As a marketplace, Barket takes intellectual property rights very seriously. We comply with intellectual property laws and industry best practices in order to maintain the integrity of our marketplace. This Intellectual Property Policy explains how we address allegations of infringement, how authorised parties can submit proper notices of infringement regarding content on our marketplace, and how Barket sellers can respond when their listings or shops are affected by a notice.

13.1 Seller grants Barket a world-wide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (including the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce and communicate to the public Seller's Information:

  • during the Term: either as part of the Website (including in response to search requests or when displaying a list of products sorted by product category) or for promotional purposes relating to Barket or the Website in any medium; and
  • after the Term: for archival, record-keeping and related and incidental purposes. Direct product links will stay active indefinitely for search engine optimisation purposes, even if a product has been unpublished or deleted, but such products will not be available for purchase.

13.2 Seller represents and warrants that the products listed on the marketplace and Seller's Information do not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. Seller indemnifies Barket against any Loss that Barket may suffer or incur as a result of any Claim brought against Barket that the products displayed on its Store or the Seller's Information infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party.

13.3 Barket or its licensors retain ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Website (other than Seller's Information). Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Seller will not use or reproduce Barket's name, logo or trademarks without Barket's prior written approval.

13.4 Barket reserves the right to disable any listing, or account that we believe violates our Terms of Use, including this Intellectual Property Policy. Barket also reserves the right to take action against abusers of Barket’s Intellectual Property Policy or our Terms of Use.

Barket can’t speak on behalf of intellectual property owners, nor is Barket in a position to offer legal advice or make legal determinations whether a seller's content infringes someone else’s intellectual property. Barket will remove material cited for alleged intellectual property infringement when provided with a proper notice.

Later, Tom gets an order from Mary. Tom then orders the item from Barket and has it shipped directly to Mary.
    • Seller Drop Shipping is defined as an individual or organisation re-listing items on the Barket marketplace that are for sale elsewhere and when receiving an order from Barket purchasing the product from the original seller of the product at a discounted price to the selling price on Barket. Example of an activity that would qualify as seller drop shipping; Julie lists a product for sale in the Barket marketplace. Julie receives an order from Brad for this product. Julie purchases the product from Anna and has it shipped directly to Brad. Using a 3PL service to fulfil your orders does not constitute seller drop shipping.
