Vendor Agreement

Effective date: October 27, 2026 · Last updated: October 26, 2026

1. Agreement and parties

This Vendor Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between Muslim Bazaar LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("Muslim Bazaar," "we," "us"), and the business or individual that applies to sell, or sells, products on www.muslimbazaar.us and related Muslim Bazaar channels ("Vendor," "you"). It applies to sellers only. Shoppers are covered by our separate Terms and Conditions.

You accept this Agreement when you apply to become a Vendor, list a product, or accept a payout. If you accept on behalf of a business, you confirm you are authorized to bind it. If you have a separate signed agreement with us, that agreement controls where it conflicts with this one.

2. Our relationship

Muslim Bazaar operates the marketplace. You are the seller of record for products you list: you own the products until they are sold, you set your prices within our rules, and you are responsible for their quality, safety, legality and description. We provide the storefront, take payment from customers on your behalf, handle customer communications and returns as described below, and pay you what you earn. We are independent businesses; this Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship, and neither of us may bind the other.

3. Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 18, legally able to sell your products in the United States, and give us accurate business, contact, bank and tax information, including a completed IRS Form W-9, and keep it current. We may verify your identity and business, and may decline any application. You are responsible for all activity in your vendor account, for keeping your login secure, and for anyone you give access to.

4. Plans, commission and fees

Your plan. Your commission rate, any subscription or listing fees, product limits and other commercial terms are those of the vendor plan assigned to your account, as shown in your vendor account or on our plan selection page, or as set out in a separate written agreement with us (your "Plan"). Plans can differ between vendors, and we may offer custom Plans.

Commission. Commission is calculated as set out in your Plan. Unless your Plan says otherwise, it is a percentage of the price of each item sold, excluding sales tax and shipping charges, and is earned when the order is paid. If an item is refunded because of our error, we return the commission on it; if it is refunded for any other reason, the commission is not returned.

Fees. Any subscription or other fee in your Plan is charged as your Plan describes, in advance where it is periodic, and is not refundable for partial periods. Plan changes apply from your next billing period.

Payment processing. Your Plan states whether card and payment processing fees charged by our payment providers on your sales are deducted from your earnings in addition to commission. If your Plan does not say, they are deducted.

Changes to plans and fees. We may change plan prices, commission rates or fees with at least 30 days' email notice. Changes do not apply to orders placed before they take effect.

5. Taxes

Where the law treats Muslim Bazaar as a marketplace facilitator, including under the Illinois marketplace facilitator rules, we collect and remit sales tax on your marketplace sales to the states that require it. Otherwise, you are responsible for collecting and paying any taxes on your sales. You are responsible for your own income taxes. We may issue tax forms, such as Form 1099, and share payout information with tax authorities as the law requires.

6. Payouts

What you earn. For each delivered order, your earnings are the item price and any shipping charge collected for items you ship, minus commission, payment processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, plan fees and any other amounts you owe us under this Agreement.

When you are paid. We pay earnings once a month, within 15 days after the end of the month, for orders that were delivered and whose 7-day return window has closed. Payment is by bank transfer (ACH) or another method we agree with you, to the account in your vendor profile. Balances under $25 roll over to the next month. You must tell us about any payout error within 60 days of the payout.

Holds and reserves. We may delay a payout, or hold back a reasonable reserve, if we see unusual return or chargeback levels, suspected fraud, a legal claim about your products, or an open dispute, for no longer than reasonably needed to resolve it.

Amounts you owe. If amounts you owe exceed your earnings, the balance carries forward and we may deduct it from future payouts. If your account is closed or has no further sales, you agree to pay the balance within 30 days of our invoice.

7. Listings and product rules

You are responsible for every listing you create. Listings must be accurate and complete, including price, size, materials, ingredients, country of origin, condition and handling time, and must use photos you own or are licensed to use.

Halal and religious claims. Only describe a product as halal, or name a certifying body, if you can provide the current certificate or documentation on request. Do not make religious rulings or claims you cannot support. We may remove any claim we cannot verify.

Regulated products. Food, fragrances, cosmetics and personal-care items must meet all applicable labeling, ingredient, safety and storage laws, including FDA rules, and show expiration or best-by dates where required. Products for children must meet applicable safety standards.

Prohibited items. You may not list counterfeit or infringing goods; items that are illegal, recalled or unsafe; alcohol, tobacco, vaping or drug products; weapons; adult content; or items that conflict with Islamic values or Muslim Bazaar's community standards, as we reasonably decide. We may remove listings, adjust category placement, or require changes at any time.

8. Orders and shipping

You must keep stock levels accurate and ship each order within the handling time on the listing, and no later than 3 business days after the order is placed unless the listing clearly says otherwise. Use trackable shipping, enter tracking in your vendor account when the order ships, and pack items so they arrive safely. If you cannot fulfill an order, cancel it promptly through your vendor account and tell us. Repeated late shipments or cancellations may lead to suspension.

9. Returns, refunds and chargebacks

Customer returns. You agree to honor the return policy in our customer Terms and Conditions and on our Returns and Exchanges page, currently 7 days from delivery, unless your listing shows a more generous policy. Items that customers may not return (for example opened fragrances, food and personal-care items) are listed in our customer Terms.

Who pays. After we review a return, including a quality check where needed, we decide who is responsible. If the item was defective, damaged before shipping, wrong, not as described or late through your fault, you bear the refund and the return shipping cost. If we caused the problem, we bear it. If the customer is responsible, the item is returned to the customer and no refund is due. Refunds you owe are deducted from your earnings.

Chargebacks. If a customer disputes a payment, you agree to provide proof of shipment, delivery and the listing within 5 business days of our request. If the chargeback is decided against us for reasons tied to your product, listing or shipping, the chargeback amount and fee are deducted from your earnings.

10. Customers, customer data and communications

Muslim Bazaar owns the customer relationship on the marketplace. We handle customer messages and may share them with you to resolve an order. You may use customer names, addresses and order details only to fulfill and support that order. You may not add Muslim Bazaar customers to your own marketing lists, contact them to buy outside the marketplace, sell or share their data, or include outside promotions in packages without our approval. You must keep customer data secure and tell us within 48 hours if you learn it has been exposed.

11. Your content and brand

You keep ownership of your brand, product photos and descriptions. You give Muslim Bazaar a non-exclusive, royalty-free license, during this Agreement and for a reasonable time after to wind down, to use, display, adapt and share them, and your business name and logo, to list, advertise and promote your products on our sites, social media, ads and marketing. You confirm you have the rights to everything you provide and that it does not infringe anyone's rights.

12. Compliance and insurance

You will follow all laws that apply to your products and business, including product safety, labeling, consumer protection, import and tax laws, and you will cooperate with any product recall. We may ask for documentation such as certificates, test reports, licenses or invoices proving authenticity. For food, fragrance, cosmetic or children's products, we may require you to carry product liability insurance and show us proof.

13. Responsibility for claims

You agree to defend and indemnify Muslim Bazaar and its owners and staff against claims, losses, fines and reasonable legal fees arising from your products (including injury, illness or recall), your listings and claims (including halal and ingredient claims), your breach of this Agreement or the law, or infringement of anyone's rights by your content. We will tell you promptly about any claim and let you help handle it.

14. Limits on liability

The marketplace is provided "as is." We do not promise any level of sales, traffic or placement, or that the site will be uninterrupted. Neither party is liable to the other for indirect, special or consequential damages or lost profits. Except for your payment obligations and your responsibility in section 13, each party's total liability under this Agreement is limited to the commission and fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

15. Term, suspension and termination

This Agreement continues until either of us ends it. You may close your vendor account with 30 days' notice by email. We may end it with 30 days' notice for any reason, or suspend or close your account immediately if you breach this Agreement, put customers at risk, receive repeated complaints, or if the law requires. When the Agreement ends, your listings come down, you must still ship paid orders unless we cancel them, and we pay your final earnings after the last return window closes, minus amounts you owe. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as payment obligations, returns, customer data, indemnity and liability, survive.

16. Changes to this Agreement

We may update this Agreement with at least 30 days' notice by email or in your vendor account. If you continue selling after the change takes effect, the updated Agreement applies; if you do not agree, you may close your account before then.

17. Disputes and governing law

If a problem comes up, contact us first at support@muslimbazaar.us and we will both try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days. If we cannot, either party may bring a claim in small claims court where it qualifies, or otherwise in the state or federal courts for Cook County, Illinois, and both parties agree to those courts' jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

18. General

This Agreement, your vendor plan and any signed agreement between us are the entire agreement about selling on Muslim Bazaar. You may not transfer this Agreement without our written consent; we may transfer it as part of a sale or reorganization of our business. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a right right away does not waive it. Notices to you go to the email on your vendor account and are effective when sent; notices to us go to support@muslimbazaar.us. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. You agree that electronic acceptance and notices satisfy any writing requirement.
