Terms of Service | Nu World Market

Welcome to Nu World Market.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Nu World Market website, services, communications, sourcing services, supplier programs, consignment programs, marketplace services, and other offerings made available by Nu World Market (“Nu World Market,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using our website or services, submitting an inquiry, requesting sourcing assistance, applying to become a supplier or consignor, placing or authorizing an order, or otherwise engaging with Nu World Market, you agree to these Terms.

Certain transactions may require you to affirmatively accept these Terms or additional transaction-specific terms before proceeding.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our website or services.

1. About Nu World Market

Nu World Market is a cross-border commerce company that connects product supply in international markets with buyers, retailers, distributors, marketplaces, and other sales channels in destination markets.

Our services may include:

Product sourcing and custom searches
Supplier identification and relationship development
Product and condition review
Wholesale purchasing and distribution
Consignment programs
Marketplace sales and distribution
Import and export coordination
Shipping, warehousing, and fulfillment
Product information and translation
Landed-cost analysis
Market and pricing analysis
Buyer-supplier matching
AI-assisted product, pricing, demand, and inventory analysis
Other cross-border commerce services

Nu World Market is not solely a proxy-buying service.

Depending on the transaction, Nu World Market may operate as a sourcing service provider, purchaser, distributor, reseller, consignee, marketplace operator, commercial intermediary, or other service provider.

The structure of a particular transaction may be governed by a separate purchase order, invoice, supplier agreement, consignment agreement, sourcing agreement, marketplace agreement, distribution agreement, or other written agreement.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a separate written agreement governing a specific transaction, the transaction-specific agreement will control with respect to that transaction.

2. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts to use our transactional services.

If you use Nu World Market on behalf of a company, organization, retailer, dealer, supplier, consignor, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of and bind that entity.

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide in connection with your account, inquiry, application, or transaction is accurate and current.

3. Buyer Services

Buyers may submit requests for particular products, categories, brands, models, specifications, quantities, condition levels, price ranges, sourcing locations, or other purchasing requirements.

Submitting a request does not obligate Nu World Market to locate, purchase, reserve, import, or supply a product and does not itself create a binding purchase contract.

Product availability, supplier availability, market pricing, exchange rates, transportation costs, duties, tariffs, and other transaction variables may change at any time.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, any quote, estimate, product suggestion, sourcing result, landed-cost calculation, market analysis, or pricing analysis is preliminary and may change before a transaction is completed.

A purchase or sourcing commitment becomes binding only when the applicable transaction terms have been accepted and any required payment, deposit, purchase order, authorization, or other required documentation has been received.

Where Nu World Market acquires a product specifically in response to a buyer's request, additional cancellation and refund restrictions may apply.

4. Supplier Services

Suppliers may provide Nu World Market with information concerning products, inventory, pricing, availability, photographs, specifications, ownership, condition, provenance, authenticity, brand authorization, or other product information.

Suppliers represent and warrant that:

Information they provide is accurate to the best of their knowledge
They have the legal right to sell, consign, distribute, or otherwise make the applicable products available
Products do not knowingly infringe the intellectual property or other rights of third parties
Products are not stolen, counterfeit, unlawfully obtained, or otherwise prohibited
Material defects or known condition issues will be accurately disclosed

Supplier relationships may include:

Direct wholesale purchases
Recurring supply arrangements
Custom sourcing
Consignment
Marketplace distribution
Demand-backed purchasing
Inventory placement
Distribution
Other commercial arrangements

Participation in a supplier program does not guarantee sales, purchase volume, minimum order quantities, product acceptance, exclusivity, price levels, sale timing, or continued participation unless specifically agreed in writing.

Additional supplier-specific terms may apply.

5. Consignment Terms

Where Nu World Market accepts inventory on consignment rather than purchasing it outright, the applicable Consignment Agreement will govern the commercial relationship.

Unless a separate written Consignment Agreement states otherwise, the following general principles apply.

Title to Consigned Inventory

Title to consigned goods remains with the consignor until a completed sale or other agreed disposition transfers title to a buyer.

Custody and Risk of Loss

Nu World Market will exercise commercially reasonable care while consigned property is in its possession or control.

The allocation of risk of loss, insurance coverage, declared value, deductibles, transit risk, storage risk, and maximum recoverable amounts will be determined by the applicable Consignment Agreement.

Unless expressly stated in writing, Nu World Market does not represent that all consigned inventory is insured for its full retail, replacement, appraisal, or expected resale value.

Pricing and Sales Channels

Nu World Market may determine appropriate sales channels and may market, list, promote, bundle, or route consigned inventory through wholesale, marketplace, retail, distribution, or other authorized channels.

Pricing adjustments may be made within pricing parameters agreed with the consignor.

Nu World Market will not materially reduce a product below an agreed minimum selling price without the consignor's approval unless such authority is expressly granted in the applicable Consignment Agreement.

Payment to Consignor

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for sold consigned inventory will be made after the underlying sale has been completed and applicable payment-clearance, return, dispute, or chargeback periods have been satisfied.

Payments may be reduced by agreed commissions, marketplace fees, payment-processing costs, shipping expenses, duties, storage or handling charges, returns, chargebacks, or other amounts authorized by the applicable Consignment Agreement.

Unsold Inventory

The handling of unsold inventory, including return to consignor, extension of the consignment period, repricing, transfer to another sales channel, or other disposition, will be governed by the applicable Consignment Agreement.

Qualification for Consignment

Nu World Market may evaluate inventory before accepting it into a consignment, sourcing, or distribution program.

Acceptance or qualification does not guarantee a sale, minimum sale price, minimum volume, or sale within a particular time period.

6. Product Information and Condition

Nu World Market may provide product descriptions, photographs, videos, translations, grading information, condition reports, inspection results, serial-number information, market information, or other product-related information.

For used, vintage, collectible, limited-production, refurbished, or secondhand goods, condition assessment may involve judgment.

Products may show signs of:

Age
Use
Wear
Repair
Modification
Restoration
Replacement parts
Manufacturing variation
Prior ownership
Storage
Environmental exposure

We make reasonable efforts to communicate material product information available to us.

However, minor errors, omissions, translation differences, photographic variations, measurement differences, or differences in subjective condition assessment may occur.

Buyers should review all available product information before purchasing.

Where available, buyers may request additional inspection, verification, photographs, measurements, or condition information before committing to a purchase.

7. Authenticity, Ownership, and Provenance

Nu World Market may perform or facilitate reasonable authenticity, provenance, serial-number, condition, ownership, or background checks depending on the product and transaction.

Unless Nu World Market expressly provides a written authenticity guarantee for a particular product, we do not represent that every product has been independently authenticated by a manufacturer, third-party authentication company, expert, grading company, or other independent authority.

Suppliers and consignors remain responsible for accurately representing the authenticity, ownership, history, provenance, condition, and origin of products they provide.

Nu World Market may refuse, suspend, investigate, remove, return, or report products reasonably suspected to be:

Counterfeit
Stolen
Fraudulently represented
Unlawfully reproduced
Subject to ownership disputes
Prohibited from import or export
Otherwise unlawful

9. Currency Exchange

International transactions may involve currency conversion.

Exchange rates may fluctuate between the time a product is identified, quoted, reserved, purchased, paid for, shipped, imported, or sold.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Nu World Market may use the exchange rate available through its payment provider, banking institution, currency provider, marketplace, or internal pricing methodology at the time the applicable transaction is processed.

Quotes involving foreign currencies may include reasonable currency-conversion costs or buffers intended to account for rate movement and transaction expenses.

Nu World Market is not responsible for losses caused solely by changes in foreign exchange rates.

Customs duties
Import tariffs
Sales taxes
Use taxes
Value-added taxes
Brokerage charges
Customs-processing fees
Regulatory fees
Documentation requirements

Product-specific import restrictions

Responsibility for these amounts will be determined by the applicable transaction terms.

Any customs, tariff, tax, or landed-cost calculation provided by Nu World Market is an estimate unless expressly confirmed otherwise in writing.

Final assessments made by customs authorities, tax authorities, carriers, brokers, or other government or third-party entities may differ from estimates.

Nu World Market does not provide legal, tax, accounting, customs, or regulatory advice.

Transportation shortages
Natural disasters

Risk of loss and title to goods will transfer as specified in the applicable invoice, purchase order, purchase agreement, shipping terms, Incoterms where applicable, or other transaction documentation.

Shipping damage, shortages, or delivery discrepancies must be reported promptly and within any applicable carrier, insurer, marketplace, or transaction-specific claim period.

Failure to report a claim within the applicable period may limit available remedies.

12. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Return, refund, cancellation, and exchange rights may differ depending on the nature of the transaction.

Relevant factors may include whether an item is:

New or used
Vintage or collectible
Special order
Custom sourced
Purchased specifically for a buyer
Wholesale inventory
Consigned inventory
Imported specifically for a transaction
Sold through a third-party marketplace
Subject to manufacturer or supplier restrictions

The return policy applicable to a specific transaction will be stated in the relevant invoice, listing, purchase agreement, sourcing agreement, marketplace listing, or other transaction documentation.

Custom-sourced, special-order, wholesale, international, or buyer-directed purchases may become non-cancelable and non-refundable once Nu World Market has committed funds, entered into a supplier obligation, incurred shipping or customs expenses, or otherwise materially performed the requested service.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable consumer protection law.

13. Third-Party Marketplaces and Service Providers

Nu World Market may use third-party platforms and providers in connection with its services, including:

Market analysis
Product matching
Pricing analysis
Demand identification

Product authenticity
Future market prices
Sale timing
Regulatory treatment
Profitability

Automated output may contain errors or be based on incomplete, historical, third-party, or changing information.

Users should not rely solely on automated analysis when making significant purchasing, pricing, sourcing, or commercial decisions.

15. No Guaranteed Resale Value or Profit

Some products sourced or distributed through Nu World Market may have active secondary markets or potential resale opportunities.

Nu World Market may provide historical pricing, comparable sales, market information, projected margins, estimated resale values, or other commercial information.

Such information is provided for informational purposes only.

Past transaction results do not guarantee future performance.

Nu World Market does not guarantee that any buyer will be able to:

Resell a product
Achieve a particular resale price
Earn a particular gross margin
Earn a particular profit
Sell a product within a particular timeframe

All commercial purchasing and inventory decisions involve risk.

Software

Warranty coverage

Regulatory approvals

Unless Nu World Market expressly agrees otherwise in writing, buyers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable, lawful, compatible, or approved for their intended use or destination market.

A product's lawful sale or certification in one jurisdiction does not necessarily mean that it is approved for all uses in another jurisdiction.

Manufacturer warranties may be country-specific or region-specific and may not transfer internationally.

Nu World Market does not guarantee manufacturer warranty coverage unless such coverage is expressly included in the applicable transaction terms.

17. User-Provided Information and Content

You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant these permissions.

18. Confidential Business Information

In the course of using Nu World Market's services, buyers, suppliers, consignors, and Nu World Market may provide or obtain non-public commercial information relating to a business relationship, proposed transaction, sourcing opportunity, or completed transaction.

Confidential business information may include:

Non-public pricing and discount structures
Inventory levels and product availability
Supplier and sourcing relationships
Buyer purchasing requirements
Sales volumes and transaction history
Product acquisition costs
Commercial terms and margins
Business plans and forecasts
Customer, supplier, dealer, or distribution information
Non-public operational, technical, or financial information
Other information that reasonably should be understood as confidential given its nature or the circumstances of disclosure

Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable measures to protect confidential business information received from another party and not to disclose such information to third parties except as reasonably necessary to evaluate, facilitate, perform, administer, support, or enforce the applicable business relationship or transaction.

Without limiting the foregoing, Nu World Market will not knowingly disclose a specific supplier's non-public pricing, inventory levels, sales volumes, acquisition costs, margins, sourcing relationships, or confidential commercial terms to competing suppliers or unrelated third parties except:

With the applicable party's authorization
As reasonably necessary to complete or evaluate an authorized transaction
To employees, contractors, affiliates, professional advisers, logistics providers, payment providers, financial institutions, marketplaces, warehouses, customs brokers, technology providers, or other service providers that reasonably require the information to perform services
Where the information has been aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified so that the applicable supplier, buyer, consignor, or transaction cannot reasonably be identified
As necessary to investigate fraud, unlawful activity, ownership disputes, authenticity concerns, security incidents, or violations of these Terms
As required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, customs authority, regulator, governmental agency, or other lawful governmental request
As otherwise permitted by a separate written agreement

Where commercially reasonable, Nu World Market will limit disclosures of confidential business information to the information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

Confidential business information does not include information that:

Is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms or other confidentiality obligation
Was lawfully known to the receiving party without a confidentiality obligation before disclosure
Is lawfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality
Is independently developed without use of the other party's confidential information
Is approved for release by the party that originally disclosed it

Nothing in this Section prevents Nu World Market from using aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified transaction, inventory, pricing, sourcing, buyer, supplier, and market data for legitimate business purposes, including:

Market analysis
Pricing analysis
Demand forecasting
Supply analysis
Product matching
Inventory routing
Sourcing recommendations
Operational improvement
Risk analysis
Artificial-intelligence-assisted analysis
Development and improvement of Nu World Market's technology, services, analytics, and commercial systems

Such use must not reasonably identify a specific supplier, buyer, consignor, or confidential transaction unless otherwise authorized or permitted by applicable law.

The confidentiality obligations in this Section survive termination or completion of the applicable relationship for so long as the information remains confidential, subject to any different confidentiality period established in a separate written agreement.

Nothing in this Section creates an obligation to enter into or complete any proposed transaction.

EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Other Regulated Jurisdictions

Where applicable law grants individuals rights concerning their personal information, including rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent, Nu World Market will honor those rights as required by law.

25. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Nu World Market website and general informational services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Except for warranties expressly provided in writing for a specific transaction, Nu World Market disclaims implied warranties to the extent permitted by law, including warranties of:

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Transaction-specific agreements may provide different liability allocations for particular commercial relationships.

27. Time Limit to Bring Claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the website, services, or a particular transaction must be commenced within one (1) year after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim.

This contractual limitation does not apply where:

A longer period is required by applicable law
The limitation cannot legally be shortened by agreement
A transaction-specific agreement provides a different period

28. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nu World Market and its owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and affiliates from and against third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to:

Your negligence
Your gross negligence
Your fraud
Your willful misconduct

Nu World Market reserves the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume the defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification.

You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits wrongdoing by, imposes liability on, or creates obligations for Nu World Market without Nu World Market's prior written consent.

This Section does not require indemnification to the extent a claim results from Nu World Market's own conduct where applicable law prohibits such indemnification.

Natural disasters
Severe weather

Violated these Terms
Violated a transaction-specific agreement
Engaged in fraudulent or unlawful conduct
Created unacceptable legal, financial, reputational, or compliance risk
Failed to meet payment obligations
Provided materially false information

Termination does not affect rights, obligations, payment requirements, liability provisions, indemnification obligations, confidentiality obligations, or transactions arising before termination.

31. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT.

Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you and Nu World Market agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.

The party raising the dispute must send written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution using the contact information in Section 39.

The parties will have at least thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice to attempt an informal resolution before commencing arbitration, except where immediate legal relief is reasonably necessary.

Binding Arbitration

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or Nu World Market's services will be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court.

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated.

Where applicable, consumer disputes will be handled under the AAA rules applicable to consumer arbitration, and commercial disputes may be handled under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration may take place remotely where permitted by the applicable rules or otherwise in the location specified in Section 32 unless the parties agree to another location.

Arbitration Fees and Costs

Filing, administrative, arbitrator, and other arbitration fees will be allocated in accordance with the applicable AAA rules and applicable law.

For a claim brought by an individual consumer, Nu World Market will pay or reimburse arbitration filing or administrative fees to the extent required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law.

If an individual consumer demonstrates that the costs of arbitration would be materially greater than the costs the consumer would incur to pursue the same claim in court, Nu World Market will pay such additional arbitration fees to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent the arbitration process from being prohibitively expensive, unless the arbitrator determines that the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

Each party will generally be responsible for its own attorneys' fees and expenses unless applicable law, the applicable AAA rules, another written agreement, or the arbitrator's award provides otherwise.

Nothing in this Section is intended to require a consumer to pay arbitration costs that applicable law prohibits Nu World Market from imposing.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in a court having jurisdiction over qualifying small-claims matters.

Nu World Market may also seek temporary, preliminary, injunctive, or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where reasonably necessary to protect:

Intellectual property
Confidential information
Trade secrets
Computer systems
Fraud-prevention interests
Property subject to an ownership dispute

Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Nu World Market agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis.

Neither party will bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding against the other to the extent such waiver is permitted by law.

Arbitration Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Nu World Market using the contact information in Section 39 within thirty (30) days after you first become bound by these Terms.

Your notice must clearly state that you are opting out of the arbitration provision and provide information reasonably sufficient to identify you.

If you validly opt out, disputes that otherwise would have been arbitrated will instead be resolved in the courts specified in Section 32, subject to applicable law.

Jurisdiction-Specific Rights

If applicable law does not permit mandatory arbitration, a class-action waiver, or another provision of this Section for a particular claim or user, that provision will not apply to the extent prohibited.

The remaining portions of this Section will remain effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

32. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Any dispute that is not subject to arbitration under Section 31 will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE], and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, except where applicable law provides a user with a non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere.

33. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations under them without Nu World Market's prior written consent.

Nu World Market may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with:

A merger
Acquisition
Financing
Corporate reorganization
Sale of substantially all of its assets
Transfer to an affiliate
Successor business transaction

These Terms will bind and benefit the parties' permitted successors and assigns.

34. Electronic Communications, Signatures, and Records

By accessing or using Nu World Market's website or services, you consent to receive these Terms, agreements, disclosures, notices, invoices, transaction records, and other communications electronically where permitted by applicable law.

Electronic communications may be provided through:

The Nu World Market website
Email
Electronic account interfaces
Electronic transaction systems
Other electronic methods reasonably associated with the applicable service

You agree that electronic records and communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be provided in writing to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Where Nu World Market uses an electronic acceptance process, including a checkbox, electronic signature, click-through agreement, electronic purchase authorization, or similar method, you agree that your electronic action may constitute your legally binding signature and acceptance.

You are responsible for maintaining a valid email address and the hardware, software, internet access, and other technology reasonably necessary to receive and retain electronic communications.

Where applicable law gives you a right to receive a paper copy of a legally required communication or to withdraw consent to electronic delivery, you may contact Nu World Market using the information in Section 39.

Withdrawal of electronic-delivery consent may affect our ability to provide certain services electronically and will not affect the validity of electronic communications or agreements provided or entered into before the withdrawal became effective.

35. Changes to These Terms

Nu World Market may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in:

Our services
Our business model
Technology
Legal requirements
Operating practices
Commercial programs

The revised Terms will become effective when posted unless otherwise stated.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this document identifies the most recent revision.

Where required by law or where a material change affects an existing contractual relationship, additional notice may be provided.

Continued use of the website or services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.

Transactions already subject to a separate agreement will continue to be governed by that agreement unless otherwise agreed.

36. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

The invalid or unenforceable provision will, where permitted by law, be interpreted or modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose.

37. No Waiver

Failure by Nu World Market to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.

A waiver is effective only if made in writing by an authorized representative of Nu World Market.

38. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable transaction-specific agreements, constitute the agreement between you and Nu World Market regarding use of the website and general services.

Transaction-specific agreements may include, among others:

Supplier Agreements
Consignment Agreements
Sourcing Agreements
Purchase Orders
Distribution Agreements
Wholesale Agreements
Marketplace Agreements

Such agreements may contain additional or different terms.
