SASAHUB Seller Policy
v1.1
Section 1. General Provisions
1.1. Purpose of the Policy
This Seller Policy (the “Policy”) governs the use of the commercial functions of the SASAHUB digital platform by persons that offer, sell or supply goods, works or services, respond to RFQs, or otherwise use the Platform for business or professional purposes. The Policy sets out the principal rights and obligations of Sellers, requirements for registration, verification, listings, order fulfilment, international trade, payments, quality, product safety, content, ratings, use of AI and Live Commerce, as well as measures that may be taken in response to violations.
1.2. Scope
This Policy applies to Sellers using the official SASAHUB website, mobile application, commercial account, catalogues, RFQ tools, order management, communications, analytics, Live Commerce, AI features and other commercial services made available by SASAHUB. Where mandatory applicable law provides a User, Buyer, consumer or Seller with a different or higher level of protection, such mandatory provisions prevail.
1.3. Operator and Platform Status
SASAHUB is operated by SHAMUS E-TİCARET LOJİSTİK VE GIDA TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, a company registered in Türkiye. SASAHUB provides digital infrastructure for electronic commerce and commercial interaction. Depending on the specific functionality and applicable law, the Operator may qualify, among other things, as an electronic commerce marketplace and/or an electronic commerce intermediary service provider. Unless expressly provided otherwise by a separate agreement or the terms of a specific service, the Operator is not the manufacturer, owner of the Seller’s goods, seller of the Seller’s goods, carrier, customs representative or payment institution, and does not automatically become a party to every transaction between a Seller and a Buyer. Nothing in this Policy releases the Operator from duties that mandatory law directly imposes on it in connection with operation of the Platform.
1.4. SASAHUB Contractual Framework
This Policy applies together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Buyer Policy, Payment Policy, Refund & Return Policy, Pricing & Fees Policy, AML/KYC Policy, Information Security Policy, Data Governance Policy, AI Usage Policy, Moderation Policy, Export Control & Sanctions Policy, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Policy, Dispute Resolution & Complaints Policy and Product Safety Policy, where the relevant document has been officially published and applies to the service concerned. Where a specialised document regulates a matter in greater detail, that document applies within its subject matter, subject to mandatory law. Documents that have not yet been approved and officially published by the Operator do not independently create obligations for Sellers.
1.5. Intermediation Agreement and Special Terms
Where applicable law requires a separate intermediation agreement, commercial agreement or mandatory contractual terms between the Operator and a Seller, such agreement or terms shall be provided separately or may be formed by the set of electronically accepted documents to the extent permitted by law. This Seller Policy does not by itself replace mandatory particulars or terms of a separate agreement where the law requires specific agreement on those matters.
1.6. B2B and Consumer Transactions
SASAHUB may be used for B2B transactions and, where the relevant functionality is available, for transactions with individual consumers. When selling to a consumer, the Seller must additionally comply with mandatory consumer protection, distance contract, advertising, pricing, pre-contract information, withdrawal, return and warranty requirements. Nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted as limiting non-waivable consumer rights.
1.7. International Activities
The Seller acknowledges that use of SASAHUB may involve exports, imports, cross-border logistics, foreign-currency settlements, Incoterms®, sanctions restrictions, export controls and product or customs requirements of multiple jurisdictions. The Seller is responsible for identifying and complying with mandatory rules applicable to its activities and the particular transaction, unless the law or a separate agreement expressly allocates the relevant obligation to another party.
1.8. Electronic Acceptance
Registration of a commercial account, activation of Seller functions, clicking an acceptance control provided by the interface, or another unambiguous electronic action may evidence acceptance of this Policy to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Operator may record the date, time, document version and technical acceptance data for evidentiary, security and compliance purposes.
1.9. Definitions
Terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service. Where mandatory legal terminology of the relevant jurisdiction requires a different meaning, the statutory meaning applies.
Section 2. Seller Registration and Identification
2.1. Access Requirement
Commercial functions are made available after registration and, where required, successful verification. Registration does not guarantee automatic access to every feature, product category, payment method or international service.
2.2. Who May Act as a Seller
Depending on the available model and applicable law, a Seller may be a legal entity, sole trader, individual business operator, self-employed person, manufacturer, distributor, importer, exporter, authorised brand representative or service provider that is legally entitled to carry out the relevant activity. Where SASAHUB does not permit commercial selling by individuals without business status, such persons may not use a Seller account for systematic commercial activity.
2.3. Registration Information
The Seller must provide accurate and current information necessary to identify the business and comply with applicable law, including, as relevant:
- full legal or commercial name;
- registration and tax numbers;
- country of registration and address;
- contact details;
- details of the legal representative and authority to act;
- beneficial ownership information where lawfully required;
- bank or payment details where required for payouts;
- categories of goods or services;
- licences, permits and other supporting documents.
2.4. Information Displayed to Buyers
The Seller agrees that information required by law to be available to a Buyer before a transaction may be displayed on the storefront, product page, order flow, contractual information screen or other Platform interfaces. The Seller is responsible for keeping such information accurate and up to date.
2.5. Representatives
A person acting on behalf of an organisation must have appropriate authority. The Operator may request a power of attorney, corporate resolution, registry extract, appointment document or other legally acceptable proof.
2.6. Application Review
The Operator may review completeness and consistency of information, legality of the activity, supporting documentation, security risks, sanctions restrictions, product restrictions and other circumstances objectively related to access to the Platform.
2.7. Refusal of Registration
Registration may be refused or restricted where there are reasonable and documented grounds, including inaccurate information, missing mandatory documents, unlawful activity, fraud indicators, prohibited goods or material sanctions or other legal risks. Where applicable law requires reasons to be provided, the Seller will receive an explanation to the required extent.
2.8. Updating Information
The Seller must update without undue delay information concerning the organisation, addresses, tax data, representatives, bank details, licences, contacts and other material circumstances.
2.9. Foreign Sellers
A foreign Seller must provide documents and information sufficient to establish its status and authority. Where justified by law or risk, the Operator may request a translation, apostille, legalisation or another appropriate form of authentication.
Section 3. Verification, KYC/KYB, Risk and Compliance
3.1. General Provisions
The Operator may apply identity and business verification procedures to protect the Platform and Users and to comply with applicable requirements. These procedures may include KYC, KYB, authority checks, sanctions and export-control screening, antifraud controls and other risk-management measures.
3.2. AML Qualification
References to AML/KYC in this Policy do not mean that SHAMUS is, in every circumstance, independently subject to all financial-monitoring obligations. Specific AML measures apply to the extent directly required by law, the nature of a particular service, the requirements of a licensed payment or financial partner, or the Operator’s internal risk-management framework.
3.3. Risk-Based Approach
The scope of verification may depend on jurisdiction, business type, products, payment method, expected transaction volume, ownership structure, account history, transaction geography and other objective risk factors.
3.4. Additional Documents
The Operator may request additional documents or explanations following changes in ownership, management, address, bank details, product range or trading countries, or where inconsistencies or suspicious activity are identified.
3.5. Failure to Complete Verification
Failure to provide required information, use of forged documents, material inconsistencies or obstruction of a lawful review may result in refusal of registration, restriction of functions, suspension or termination in accordance with Section 16.
3.6. Meaning of Verification
Successful completion of verification only means that the applicable procedures were completed at the relevant time. It is not a guarantee of financial standing, product quality, counterparty reliability or future performance by the Seller.
3.7. Data Protection
Personal data and documents obtained during verification are processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy, Information Security Policy, Data Governance Policy and applicable law.
Section 4. Seller Rights
4.1. Access to Commercial Functions
Subject to compliance with this Policy, a Seller may use the listing, RFQ, order, messaging, analytics, international trade, promotion, AI and Live Commerce functions available to its account.
4.2. Management of Offers
The Seller may create, edit, temporarily hide and discontinue its offers within Platform functionality and subject to obligations arising from transactions already concluded.
4.3. RFQ Participation
The Seller may receive RFQs, submit commercial quotations, request clarifications and decline participation in an RFQ unless an already accepted legally binding offer or contract provides otherwise.
4.4. Right to Information
The Seller may access available information on service conditions, fees, reasons for material restrictive measures and changes to official documents to the extent required by law and Platform terms.
4.5. Complaints and Review
The Seller may contact support, submit complaints and, where provided by Platform rules or applicable law, challenge a restriction, content removal, suspension or termination decision.
4.6. Data and Confidentiality
The Seller is entitled to expect its personal and other legally protected data to be processed in accordance with SASAHUB’s published policies and applicable law.
4.7. Non-Discriminatory Application of Rules
The Operator aims to apply rules consistently, objectively and proportionately. Differences in access or verification may be based on law, country, product category, risk level, subscription plan or other objective circumstances.

The Operator may review listings, request documents, require corrections, temporarily hide or refuse publication where there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offer violates law, third-party rights, Platform rules or product-safety requirements.
6.7. No Endorsement
Publication of a listing does not constitute certification, endorsement or a quality guarantee by the Operator and does not release the Seller from responsibility.
Section 7. Prohibited and Restricted Goods and Services
7.1. General Prohibition
The Seller must not list goods, works, services or content whose circulation, advertising, export, import or distance sale is prohibited by applicable law or expressly prohibited by officially published SASAHUB rules.

8.4. Documents
Depending on the transaction, the Seller must provide commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, declarations, licences, transport documents and other documentation falling within its responsibilities.

8.6. SHAMUS Export-Support Services
Where SHAMUS separately undertakes export support, agency functions, logistics coordination, inspection or other additional services, their scope, price, liability and risk allocation are governed by a separate agreement or specific service terms.

The Seller represents that it has the necessary rights or lawful basis to use trademarks, trade names, images, text, video, catalogues, drawings, patents, industrial designs and other intellectual property used in its offers.

Listing or selling counterfeit goods through the Platform is prohibited.
9.3. Licence to the Platform
By publishing content, the Seller grants the Operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence limited to Platform purposes to store, technically process, display, index, translate, adapt formatting, back up and distribute the content within the relevant service and publication settings. This licence does not transfer ownership of the content to the Operator.
9.4. Rights-Holder Complaints
A rights holder or authorised representative may submit a substantiated notice through official SASAHUB channels. The Operator may request evidence of rights, notify the Seller, temporarily restrict content and take action in accordance with the Moderation Policy, Terms of Service and applicable law.

Systematic or serious intellectual property infringements may result in restrictions or termination of Seller status.

10.1. General Provisions
The legal effect of a listing, RFQ, quotation, order, confirmation and other electronic actions is determined by applicable law, Platform functionality and the terms of the particular transaction.
10.2. RFQ Is Not Automatically a Transaction
Unless expressly stated otherwise by the User or required by law, publication of an RFQ is an invitation to receive quotations and does not by itself obligate the Buyer to enter into a contract.
10.3. Acceptance of Orders
The Seller must without undue delay confirm an order, reject it on a permitted basis or request necessary clarification.
10.4. Information Before Contract Formation
Before the Buyer becomes bound, the Seller must provide information required by law and Platform terms. Consumer transactions must comply with mandatory pre-contract information and order-confirmation requirements.

11.5. Communication
The Seller must maintain professional and timely communication with the Buyer, disclose material delays and respond to order-related enquiries.
11.6. Logistics Partners
Use of a carrier or logistics partner does not release the Seller from its own obligations to the Buyer. Where SHAMUS is not the carrier or a party to the carriage contract, the carrier’s liability is governed by its contract and applicable law.
11.7. Receipt and Claims
Confirmation of receipt, quantity or quality claims, damage claims, returns and refunds are governed by the transaction, Refund & Return Policy and mandatory law.

The Seller is responsible for identifying and performing its tax, accounting and reporting obligations unless the law expressly assigns the relevant obligation to the Operator or another person.
12.6. Refunds and Adjustments
Refunds, chargebacks, cancellations, adjustments and related deductions are applied only under the Payment Policy, Refund & Return Policy, payment-provider rules, transaction terms and applicable law.
12.7. Escrow and Other Special Financial Services
Escrow, holding of funds or another regulated financial service is available only if expressly launched by SASAHUB through a legally permissible structure and accompanied by separate service terms. This Policy does not by itself state or imply that SHAMUS provides a licensed payment or escrow service.
Section 13. Pricing, Subscriptions and Paid Commercial
Services
13.1. Applicable Pricing
Seller functions may be made available free of charge or under a subscription, tariff, service fee or other published price. The amount and composition of charges are determined by the Pricing & Fees Policy, published tariff, service order or separate agreement.

Before purchase of a paid service, the Seller is provided with information on price, currency, billing period, material renewal terms, included features and other mandatory charges to the extent required by law.
13.3. Transaction Commissions
A transaction commission is charged only where expressly provided by the applicable tariff, Payment Policy, Pricing & Fees Policy or a separate agreement. Absence of a commission under one plan does not imply absence under future or different services.

13.5. Additional Services

Fake reviews, purchased ratings, artificial orders, pressure on Buyers, coordinated manipulation and automated distortion of ratings are prohibited.
14.4. Consumer Reviews
Where a review is presented as originating from an actual purchaser or user, the Platform and Seller must not create a misleading impression about its origin. The Seller must not publish or commission fake consumer reviews.
14.5. Review Moderation
The Operator may hide or remove a review where there are substantiated indications of illegality, manipulation, abusive content, conflict of interest or breach of published rules.
14.6. Seller Requests
A Seller may report a disputed review or material rating error through complaints@sasahub.com.tr or the relevant Platform interface.

The Operator may request documents concerning registration, authority, product origin, licences, certificates, markings, intellectual property rights, exports, imports and other relevant matters.

The Operator may analyse listing accuracy, order history, fulfilment times, complaints, returns, violations, product safety and other Platform-related performance indicators.
15.4. Proportionality

15.5. Duty to Cooperate
The Seller must provide requested information within a reasonable period where the request has a lawful basis and relates to use of the Platform.
Section 16. Violations, Restrictive Measures and
Termination

- a warning;
- a requirement to correct the violation;
- temporary hiding of goods or content;
- restriction of particular functions;
- additional verification;
- temporary account suspension;
- termination of Seller status or Platform access;
- other measures provided by law or contract.
16.3. Urgent Measures
Prior notice may be omitted where immediate action is objectively necessary to prevent unlawful activity, security threats, fraud, harm to third parties, to comply with a binding authority request or to preserve evidence.
16.4. Reasons for Decisions
Where required by law and not prohibited by security, antifraud, confidential-investigation or governmental requirements, the Seller will be informed of the principal reasons for a material restriction or termination decision.
16.5. Proportionality and Good Faith
The Operator must not exercise contractual powers arbitrarily or as an unfair commercial practice. Restrictive measures are applied taking into account mandatory electronic-commerce and intermediation-agreement requirements.
16.6. Appeal
The Seller may submit explanations and supporting documents to complaints@sasahub.com.tr. Review is governed by the Dispute Resolution & Complaints Policy.
16.7. Consequences of Termination
Termination of access does not extinguish previously accrued payment obligations, liability, Buyer rights, refund duties, document-retention duties or other provisions that by their nature survive termination.
Section 17. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
17.1. Direct Resolution
The Seller and Buyer are encouraged first to attempt to resolve a commercial dispute through available communication tools where doing so does not restrict the right to apply immediately to a competent authority.
17.2. SASAHUB Complaint Process
A complaint may include an order or RFQ number, correspondence, commercial documents, proof of payment, transport information, photographs, video and other relevant evidence.
17.3. Role of the Operator
Unless a specific service or law provides otherwise, the Operator is not a court, arbitrator or mandatory mediator between the Seller and Buyer, but may provide technical tools and facilitate exchange of information.
17.4. ADR, Mediation and Courts
The parties may use negotiation, mediation, ADR, ODR, arbitration where there is a valid agreement, and other remedies permitted by law. Internal SASAHUB procedures do not limit the right to apply to a competent court or public authority.

The Operator may update this Policy due to changes in law, functionality, business model, technology, security, pricing, or to correct errors and inconsistencies.
18.2. Notice
Changes are published on official SASAHUB resources. E-mail, account or application notifications may also be used. Where mandatory law or an intermediation agreement requires a specific advance-notice period or a Seller right to terminate because of a change, the required process will be followed.
18.3. Material Changes
Changes that materially worsen the Seller’s position, restrict access to data or services, or require significant technical adaptation are implemented only in compliance with mandatory transparency, notice and good-faith requirements.
18.4. No Retroactive Effect
A new version does not apply retroactively to completed relationships or periods unless otherwise required by law or expressly permitted by a valid contractual term.
18.5. Version Control
The Operator maintains version, approval-date and effective-date information. Archived versions may be retained to evidence the terms applicable at a particular time.
Section 19. Final Provisions and Contact Information

This Policy is governed by the laws of Türkiye to the extent a choice of law is permitted by applicable conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory provisions of other jurisdictions apply irrespective of the choice of law where the law so requires.

Invalidity of an individual provision does not invalidate the Policy as a whole. The affected provision will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law or be replaced by a provision closest to its lawful purpose.

Failure by the Operator to exercise a right does not constitute a waiver unless otherwise required by mandatory law or written agreement.

22.6. Role of the Operator
Provision of Live Commerce infrastructure does not mean that the Operator is the author of Seller-created content or the seller of goods demonstrated by the Seller, unless otherwise expressly required by law or agreed in a separate contract.
