Important: Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between E-azy Agro and any Member. The Platform serves solely as a venue to facilitate connections between buyers and sellers. E-azy Agro is not a party to any transaction, and the contract for the sale and purchase of agricultural products is formed directly and exclusively between the buyer and the seller. E-azy Agro does not control, endorse, or guarantee the quality, safety, legality, freshness, authenticity, or accuracy of any agricultural products listed on the Platform, nor does it verify the accuracy of any product descriptions, prices, or availability. E-azy Agro expressly disclaims all liability for any disputes, claims, losses, damages, or injuries arising from or related to any transaction, interaction, or dealing between buyers and sellers, including but not limited to issues concerning product quality, delivery, payment, or non-performance.
