As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. It is hereby clarified that petsco has no contractual privity or knowledge of listers and buyers identities under its platform. Hence the seller and buyer need to exercise caution while transacting and are advised to verify the authenticity of listings and counterparties. Petsco will not be liable for any kind of loss/ damage to the buyer or seller, including consequential and incidental losses and damages. No guarantee is provided on any misrepresentation. If users exchange their contacts on the platform, and if anything happens to one user due to the act of the other user, such as theft or cheating, petsco will not be responsible for the same.

Petsco does not guarantee specific relief or specific performance of any contract/terms that a buyer and seller on its platform enter into.

Listers/potential buyers are encouraged to promptly report any inaccurate or inappropriate content.

Users are strongly advised to independently verify all details. Representations and depictions of listed items, including pictures and visuals, which may differ from the actual product and services. Users should verify information from relevant authorities and developers (if applicable) before making any decisions on purchase of listed items and/or advertised items. In addition to the foregoing, it is pertinent to mention here that the definitions provided under section 2(47) and section 2(11) of the consumer protection act, 2019 (“cpa”) are crucial in describing the parameters of unfair trade practices and deficiency in services, respectively. "unfair trade practices" as defined in section 2(47) of the cpa, encompass the adoption of unfair methods or deceptive trade practices for the sale, use, or supply of any goods or provision of any service, including false representation about the standards, quality, or grade of services and representations purporting to be warranties or guarantees of services. "Deficiency" in services, as per section 2(11) of the cpa, encompasses any fault, imperfection, or shortcoming in the quality, nature, and manner of performance required by law or contract, including acts of negligence or omission resulting in loss or injury to the consumer. As an intermediary platform, petsco operates solely to facilitate the exchange of information between users and does not exercise control over the content of listings or the quality of services offered therein. Consequently, petsco neither promotes nor engages in unfair trade practices, nor can it be held liable for any deficiency in services as defined under the cpa. Users are hereby apprised that any grievances regarding unfair trade practices or deficiency in services pertaining to listings should be addressed directly with the owner of the respective listing. Petsco assumes no responsibility for the actions or representations of users. Users are appraised that for any perceived unfair trade practices or deficiencies in services, the user can file consumer complaints directly against the owners of the listings.
