Scope of Services:
vFulfill will provide sourcing, fulfillment, logistics management, and the use of billing ID services to the User as per the terms of this Agreement.
Billing ID:
If the User is a merchant based out of India or not registered as a business with a GST in India, vFulfill may process User’s orders using vFulfill’s billing ID. In such cases, an indemnification and rolling reserve clause will be invoked.
Service Charges:
The User agrees to pay vFulfill for the services rendered in accordance with the fees set forth in the proposal provided by vFulfill. The User acknowledges that the fees may change and will be updated on the vFulfill platform.
Sourcing Services:
- vFulfill provides sourcing services as part of its offerings, assisting Users in procuring products from third-party suppliers. While vFulfill will assist in the transaction process, the final decision to transact with any supplier rests solely with the User.
- Although vFulfill takes measures to ensure the reliability and quality of the suppliers, vFulfill does not guarantee the legality, quality, or suitability of any third-party suppliers or products. The User agrees to perform their own due diligence when deciding to transact with a supplier sourced through vFulfill.
- Upon the User’s approval, vFulfill may act on behalf of the User to facilitate transactions with suppliers. The User acknowledges and agrees that such transactions are entered into at the User’s own risk. vFulfill is not responsible for any issues, disputes, or liabilities arising from such transactions.

Without the signed manifest, the request shall not be considered valid.
- vFulfill provides services for both prepaid and Cash on Delivery (COD) orders. The User acknowledges that in case of COD orders, the payment collected by the logistics partner from the end customer will be credited to the User’s account after deduction of the applicable commission or fees.
The User also agrees that vFulfill holds no responsibility for any payment disputes arising from COD transactions, and any such disputes must be resolved between the User and the end customer.
- The User is responsible for ensuring that all products shipped through vFulfill’s logistics partners comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the destination jurisdiction. vFulfill reserves the right to refuse shipment of any product that, in its sole discretion, violates such laws or regulations.
