Legal Agreement
Terms of Service
Please read these Terms carefully before using Guildite. By creating an account or using any part of the Guildite platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use Guildite.
Section 01
About Guildite
Guildite is a digital commerce platform owned and operated by GuildIte Ltd, a subsidiary of Frizux Ltd. Guildite provides independent sellers with tools to create digital shops, manage inventory, process orders, access market analytics, connect with buyers and participate in a seller community.
Guildite is a platform that connects buyers and sellers. Guildite is not a seller, retailer, auctioneer or agent for any product listed on the platform. Guildite does not own, inspect, verify or guarantee any product, service or listing on the platform unless explicitly stated.
Important: Transactions on Guildite are between buyers and sellers directly. Guildite facilitates these transactions through its escrow service but is not a party to the underlying sale contract between buyer and seller.
Section 02
Eligibility
To use Guildite you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
- Not be prohibited from using Guildite under the laws of Ghana or your country of residence
- Provide accurate and complete registration information
- Not have had a previous Guildite account suspended or terminated for violations
Section 03
Accounts
Registration
You must register for an account to access Guildite’s seller features. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.
Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify Guildite immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
One Account Per Person
You may only hold one active seller account on Guildite. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent suspensions, bans or platform fees is a serious violation of these Terms and will result in permanent removal from the platform.
Account Verification
Guildite may require identity verification for certain features including escrow transactions above specified thresholds. You agree to provide requested verification documents promptly. Failure to verify may result in transaction limits or account suspension.
Section 04
Platform Rules
- All listings must be accurate, honest and represent real products or services available for sale
- All transactions must be conducted through Guildite’s platform and payment system
- No user may attempt to take transactions off-platform to avoid Guildite’s fees or protections
- No user may engage in price manipulation, artificial inflation or coordinated bidding
- No user may impersonate another person, brand or business
- No user may use Guildite for money laundering, fraud or any illegal financial activity
- All users must treat other community members with respect
Off-platform transactions: Attempting to conduct transactions outside of Guildite’s platform is a serious violation. Both parties involved in such transactions lose all protections Guildite provides and may be permanently removed from the platform.
Section 05
Seller Obligations
Listings
- All product listings must be accurate, complete and not misleading
- Product images must represent the actual item being sold
- Prices listed must be the true and complete price including any applicable charges
- Stock availability must be kept current — listing unavailable items is prohibited
Orders and Fulfilment
- You must fulfil confirmed orders within your stated delivery timeframe
- You must communicate promptly with buyers regarding order status
- If you cannot fulfil an order you must cancel promptly and notify the buyer
- Repeated failure to fulfil orders will result in account suspension
Prohibited Items
- Stolen, counterfeit or illegally obtained goods
- Controlled substances, narcotics or illegal drugs
- Weapons, explosives or items regulated under applicable law
- Pornographic, obscene or sexually explicit material
- Items that infringe third-party intellectual property rights
- Fake documentation, identity documents or financial instruments

Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings, the quality of their products, compliance with applicable laws, and payment of all applicable taxes on their sales.
Section 06
Buyer Obligations
- You will only initiate purchases for items you genuinely intend to buy
- You will provide accurate delivery information for all orders
- You will not attempt to obtain goods without completing payment through Guildite’s escrow system
- You will release escrow funds promptly upon confirmed receipt of goods in the described condition
- You will raise disputes honestly and only where a genuine issue exists
- You will not abuse the dispute process to obtain free goods or services
Escrow Release Obligation: Once you confirm receipt of an order in satisfactory condition, you are obligated to release escrow funds to the seller. Deliberately withholding escrow release without a valid dispute is a violation of these Terms.
Section 07
Payments and Escrow
How Escrow Works
- The buyer pays the full transaction amount plus the applicable platform fee into Guildite’s escrow system
- Guildite holds the funds securely while the seller prepares and delivers the order
- Upon confirmed delivery and buyer confirmation, Guildite releases funds to the seller
- If a dispute is raised, Guildite’s dispute resolution process determines fund release
Critical Security Warning: Guildite will NEVER ask you to share your escrow code with anyone outside of an official Guildite transaction flow. Any person requesting your escrow code is attempting to defraud you. Report this immediately. Guildite is not liable for funds lost due to a user voluntarily sharing their escrow code.
Platform Fees
Guildite charges a platform fee on each transaction. This fee is paid by the buyer and is non-refundable except in cases of platform error. Current fee rates are displayed at checkout.
Refunds
Refunds of the transaction amount (excluding platform fees) are available where a seller fails to deliver, where goods received materially differ from the listing description, or where Guildite’s dispute resolution process determines a refund is warranted. Platform fees are non-refundable in all cases except platform error.
Section 08

Guildite offers both free and paid subscription tiers for sellers. Pro and Enterprise subscription tiers provide access to advanced features including market analytics, priority support and enhanced shop customisation.
- Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance
- Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date
- You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings

Section 09

Section 13
Termination
You may close your Guildite account at any time through your account settings. Upon closure, your public shop and listings will be removed. Active escrow transactions must be resolved before account closure.
Guildite may suspend or terminate your account at its sole discretion where you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or where Guildite is required to do so by law or regulatory authority.
Section 14
Dispute Resolution
Transaction Disputes
If a dispute arises between a buyer and seller, both parties must first attempt to resolve the matter directly through Guildite’s messaging system. If resolution cannot be reached within 48 hours, either party may escalate to Guildite’s formal dispute resolution process. Guildite’s determination on escrow fund release is final and binding on both parties.
Disputes Against Guildite
