Terms & Conditions

• Central Marketplace is an online directory of local posts. We publish the names, contact numbers, descriptions, prices and areas that people send us, so that others nearby can contact them directly.
• We are not a broker, real estate agency, seller, payment processor, employer, contractor, courier, insurer or partner of anyone who posts.

• You send your post to us on WhatsApp from the Post page. Our team checks every post before it goes live. We may correct spelling and formatting, add the map location for your area, ask you for changes, or decline a post.
• Each post stays live for up to 30 days, until the end date you choose. After that it is hidden and later deleted. To keep it live longer, ask us to renew it.
• Posting is free for now. If that changes, we will tell you before you post. Spotlight (a video or photos in the Spotlight feed) is an optional extra.
• Posts are for offers only: something to sell, rent or lease, a service, a job opening or a community notice. We don't publish posts looking to buy or looking for a job.
• Write your post in English, without emoji.

• Everything in your post (details, photos, prices and contact numbers) must be true and up to date, and you must be allowed to share it.
• You must hold any licence, permit or approval your business, property or service needs.
• No misleading, illegal, offensive or copied content, and no posts on behalf of someone else without their permission.
• We may edit, hide or remove any post at any time, without notice or refund, if it breaks these terms or is reported and found wrong.

Calls, chats, visits, bookings and payments happen directly between you and the person who posted. In particular:

• No payments through us: we don't collect, hold or refund any money, rent, advance, deposit or fee paid between you and the other person.
• No control over the service: we don't supervise, schedule or check the work, deliveries, food or property offered in a post.
• No dispute handling: we are not required to step in when a deal goes wrong, though you can report a post to us (see Reporting).

Everything on the site is shared “as is”, without any guarantee:

• No checks on people: we don't verify the identity, documents, licences or background of anyone who posts.
• No promise about what is offered: we can't promise the safety, quality, legality or accuracy of any property, product, food or service.
• No protection from fraud: we are not responsible for scams, fake documents or false claims made by anyone using the site.

Any contact, visit, payment or agreement you make is at your own risk. Always:

• See the property, product or work in person before you pay or sign anything.
• Check ID, ownership papers and licences where they matter.
• Never send an advance, deposit or UPI payment to someone you haven't checked, based only on a post.
• Keep receipts and written agreements with the other person.

• See a fake, wrong or unsafe post? Open it and tap Report this listing. We check every report and may hide or remove the post.
• To change or remove your own post, message us on WhatsApp with its Post ID or title.

As far as the law allows, Central Marketplace and its team are not liable for any loss or damage (including money, property, injury or business) that comes from:

• relying on a post or the contact details in it;
• any deal, payment or agreement with someone who posted;
• mistakes in a post, or the site being slow or unavailable.

• You agree to cover Central Marketplace against any claim, loss or legal cost that comes from your post, your dealings with other users, or breaking these terms.
