The website available at Plantfoods.asia (Site) is operated and administered by FCAsia Concepts Pte Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), a company incorporated in Singapore. These terms (Terms of Use & Sale) set out the relationship between us and you ("you", "your") and the terms on which we provide the Site (Part A), the terms on which products are sold via the Site (Part B) and general terms applicable to your use of the Site and purchase of products (Part C). You may not use this Site, and you may not proceed to purchase a product on this Site, if you do not agree to these Terms of Use & Sale.
These Terms of Use & Sale are effective from 1 July 2012. We may change these Terms of Use & Sale at any time by posting an updated version of these Terms of Use & Sale on this Site. We encourage you to check this Site regularly for any amendments to our Terms of Use & Sale and to read these Terms of Use & Sale carefully each time you purchase a Product on this Site. Your continued use of this Site will constitute your express consent to these Terms of Use & Sale.
This Site is an online platform allowing for the display and sale of products by Retailers, the purchase of products by Users and all related services (Services). For the purposes of these Terms of Use & Sale, "Retailers" are third party sellers of products who are registered with this Site and who can thereby sell their products by using the online transactional capabilities provided by this Site and "Users" are all individuals or organisations who browse or register with this Site or otherwise use transaction capabilities provided by this Site to purchase products from Retailers.
When a User makes a purchase from a Retailer, our responsibility is to place the User's order with the Retailer and process the payment. We are not involved in the sale or purchase of the products listed on this Site. We are an intermediary between the Retailers and the Users and not a party to the sales agreement entered into between the User and the Retailer.
Users will not be charged by us for registering an account, browsing through, posting content or buying products from the Retailers on this Site. Users will be responsible for paying the price of the products they purchase (including any tax on the purchase price and any import/export duties) and delivery costs.
You do not need to register an account to see the content available on this Site or to purchase products. A guest checkout process allows you to purchase products without registering. However, registering your details will allow us to recall your details during the checkout process. You may also need to register an account if you wish to use certain other services or take advantage of other features on this Site from time to time, such as posting content.
In order to register on this Site, you are required to provide certain information on the registration form and register a username and password for use on this Site. This information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see section 7 of Part A below).

We reserve the right to decline a new registration or remove your account name or ask you to amend it if we consider it to be inappropriate (including if we consider the account name is intended to be used to commit or promote fraudulent activity or if we consider it to be unacceptable for any other reason).
You may register an account with this Site or purchase products through the guest check-out process only if you:

If you are a minor (i.e. under the age of 21 years but at least 13 years of age), you may use this Site only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use and Sale. If you are under the age of 21 years, your parents or legal guardians can transact on behalf of you if they are Users. Parents or guardians who are transacting on behalf of minors are strictly prohibited from purchasing any product which is for adult consumption);

We can take down or amend any content posted by you at any time if it does not comply with these Terms of Use & Sale (including the terms on intellectual property rights), our policies (including Privacy Policy) or if we consider it inappropriate, unsuitable or if it is necessary to comply with the law.

All intellectual property rights in this Site (including all applicable copyright, trade marks and other proprietary rights) whether registered or unregistered shall remain our property or that of our licensors, except for content posted on this Site by you. We are not granting to you any licences under any of those intellectual property rights by virtue of these Terms of Use & Sale
You retain intellectual property rights in any copyrighted content and trade marks that are contained in the content posted by you. You represent that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, permissions and consents to use and authorise us to use all content submitted by you to this Site.
By submitting content on this Site, you agree to grant us and the Users and Retailers a non-exclusive, royalty-free worldwide licence to access the content you submit through this Site, and to use, reproduce, make derivative works of, translate, distribute, publicly display and perform such content, as well as to make, use, sell, import, offer for sale, otherwise commercially exploit and exercise any and all such rights under any and all of the intellectual property rights you hold in the content.
You also agree that you will not submit content that is subject to copyright or third party proprietary rights including privacy, publicity, etc unless you are the owner of such rights or have the appropriate permission to specifically submit such content.
This Site may contain links to other websites. We make no representations or warranties as to the content, privacy practices and other practices of any websites operated by a third party and we do not assume responsibility for the content or practices of such websites. You should check the terms and conditions and privacy policies for all third party websites you visit to understand their procedures.
We are an intermediary between the Retailers and the Users. By placing an order for a product with a Retailer, you make an offer to the Retailer to purchase that product. Therefore the products advertised on this Site are invitations for you to make offers to the Retailers to purchase those products; they do not constitute offers to sell by us or the Retailers.
We are not a manufacturer or supplier of goods. We therefore do not keep goods that are advertised on this Site in stock. The services we provide are limited to those Services defined in Part A above. When you purchase a product by using this Site, our responsibility is to place your order with the Retailer and process your payment. We are not otherwise involved in the sale or purchase of products listed on this Site.
Once you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email from us of your order. It is at this point that the total price of your order (including purchase price of the products and any tax on the purchase price as well as delivery costs) will be charged to your credit or debit card. However, your offer to purchase a product will be deemed to be accepted by the Retailer only if and when your product is dispatched by the Retailer. It is at this point that the sales agreement between you and the Retailer becomes binding. In the case of cash on delivery items, this means that you are contractually bound to accept and pay for goods when they are delivered to you.
For the avoidance of doubt, we are not a party to the sales agreement between you and the Retailer, nor do we assume any responsibility arising out of or in connection with it. We are not the Retailer's agent. It is solely the Retailer who is responsible for the sale of the products and for dealing with any User claims.
If for any reason, your order or part of your order cannot be dispatched to you, this will mean that the sales agreement between you and the Retailer did not become binding and the price of your order (or the undispatched part of your order) will be refunded to you. Please refer to our General Return Policy for more details.
It is your responsibility to keep track of the status of your order.
As described above, we are only an intermediary between the Retailers and the Users. All commercial terms related to the products advertised and sold through this Site are agreed between the Retailers and the Users, except for those commercial terms that are specifically provided in these Terms of Use & Sale (such as the payment method and delivery). Commercial terms that are agreed exclusively between the Retailer and the User include, without limitation, purchase price, warranties relating to the products and after-sales services.
You should check all terms of the Retailer that are applicable to the specific product you wish to purchase (Product Description). Product Descriptions for individual products can be accessed through the product description pages on the relevant Webstore. Retailers have complete control over the Product Descriptions and may amend their Product Descriptions from time to time. We therefore encourage you to read the Product Descriptions each time you make a purchase, even if you are purchasing a product you have previously purchased via the Site.
You can pay for your order via the online payment gateway on this Site with a card issued by Visa or MasterCard. You must use your own credit or debit card.
We ask for your credit or debit card details only for the purpose of transmitting that information to our payment gateway in order to enable the payment transaction to proceed. We do not store your credit card details.
We may also offer a cash on delivery (COD) payment option for certain items only for delivery within the UAE. You are responsible for agreeing an appropriate delivery window when you are contacted by the shipping company and for paying in full for the product upon delivery.
Prices, offers, promotions and discounts are displayed in SGD along with each product. We will not cancel your order even if the prices displayed along with the product are incorrect. This means that you will benefit from incorrectly displayed prices that are cheaper than the actual price of the product. This however also means that you will be bound by the price you accept to pay in relation to the products whose displayed prices are more expensive than their actual price. It is your responsibility to be satisfied with the product prices offered by Retailers on this Site.
Prices displayed in this Site are the final product prices, which means that (unless otherwise stated in the Product Specification) the displayed product price will be inclusive of any tax, charge or fee that may be levied on it, except for the delivery fees and customs duties, which are payable at the time of delivery and may vary depending on the delivery option selected by the User and your delivery address. If you do not pay such amounts, delivery may be withheld and the goods returned to the Retailer. Users using foreign credit or debit cards should also be aware that in some cases the banks may charge their customers for international transactions. We are not responsible for any such charges levied by the banks
Customers using foreign credit or debit cards should note that the amount charged on their credit or debit card will be the value of the product displayed in SGD which is converted into the currency of the credit card or debit card at the prevailing conversion rate by the banks.
In the case of refunds, the amount of the refund will be converted to currency of the credit card at the prevailing conversion rate at the date the refund is processed by us. The difference, if any, in the amount initially charged and the amount of the refund is due to the fluctuation of the conversion rate and any associated bank fees.
Once you order and pay for a product on this Site, it will be the Retailer who will be responsible for dispatching your products. The products that are dispatched by the Retailers are passed on to our carriers for delivery.
The delivery period for your order is based on the products you purchase, your shipping address and the delivery options you choose.
The address for delivery provided by you should be correct and proper in all respects. We will deliver to your residential address or primary place of work only. We will not deliver to addresses such as hotel addresses, parking lots or other public places. If your products cannot be delivered to you due to a mistake by you (for example, incorrect contact or address details), any additional cost towards re-delivery shall be payable by you.
We strive to ensure that our carriers deliver your products to you on time. However, we do not assume liability for any direct or consequential damage suffered by non-delivery or delayed delivery.
Users who reside outside of the Singapore may also have to comply with the laws of the country in which they reside, such as prohibition on the sale or purchase of certain products.
Such Users shall also note that the custom rules of the country they reside in might not allow certain products to enter the country or might require personal collection from customs. There might also be customs duties applicable to such products, in which case such amounts will be collected from you upon delivery.
If you purchase a product on this Site, which you later wish to return, your request for return will be governed by our return policy (General Return Policy) and any return conditions specific to the product in question (Product-Specific Return Policy). Our General Return Policy sets out in detail how we manage return requests from our Users. We will request you to accept our General Return Policy before you can make a purchase on this Site. Please carefully read our General Return Policy before you make a purchase on this Site.

You agree to indemnify us, our group companies and our service providers (including our online gateway facility provider and carrier) against any claims, loss, liability or damage (including legal costs) we, our group companies or service providers may incur as a result of:
