Terms of Service

Joda Collective (“Joda”, “we”, “us”) is a marketplace for South Asian fashion — from occasion and bridal wear to streetwear, fusion, and accessories. We connect buyers with independent sellers and may provide optional checkout powered by Stripe. Joda is not the seller, fulfillment provider, or escrow service, and we do not hold marketplace funds.

When you use Joda, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the platform.

You must be 18 or older to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You agree to provide accurate information and keep your profile up to date.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in fraud, or harm the community.

Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their listings — including measurements, condition, photos, and pricing. Misrepresenting an item is grounds for removal and account suspension.

A seller who enables Buy on Joda is the seller and merchant responsible for the item, pricing, applicable taxes, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, customer service, and compliance with law. Stripe processes the buyer's payment for the seller and deducts its processing fee. Joda's sales commission is 0%.

Listings without Buy on Joda may use the inquiry flow and a payment method independently agreed between buyer and seller. Those off-platform payments are not recorded or protected by Joda checkout.

By creating a listing, you confirm you have the right to sell or rent the item described.

Buyers use Joda to discover South Asian fashion and send structured inquiries. Joda does not guarantee that a seller will respond, that an item is available, or that a transaction will complete successfully.

For Buy on Joda orders, you authorize Stripe to charge the displayed total for the seller. The seller—not Joda—is responsible for the quality, safety, legality, authenticity, shipping, and delivery of the item. Card disputes and chargebacks are governed by Stripe and card-network rules.

• Posting items you don't own or have no right to sell
• Fraudulent listings, fake reviews, or impersonation
• Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination
• Using Joda to circumvent payments in ways that harm other users
• Scraping, spamming, or automated access without permission

The Starter plan is free and includes up to 20 active listings. Seller plans are optional auto-renewing monthly subscriptions that raise that limit:

• Spark — $9.99/month, 50 listings
• Creator — $29/month, 100 listings
• Boutique — $79/month, 500 listings
• Collective Pro — $149/month, unlimited listings

Prices are in U.S. dollars and may vary by region. Each subscription runs for one month and renews automatically for the same period and price unless cancelled.

Subscriptions bought in the iOS app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage your subscription or turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms of Use; we cannot issue them. Any unused portion of a free trial, where offered, is forfeited on purchase.

Subscriptions bought on the web are billed through Stripe and can be cancelled from your billing settings. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law.

Cancelling returns your shop to the free Starter plan at the end of the paid period. Listings above the Starter limit may become unavailable to buyers until you reduce your listing count or resubscribe.

Promotional placements (Featured Listings, Sponsored Drops, etc.) are one-time purchases. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

Joda does not add a sales commission to marketplace orders. Stripe processing fees, refunds, disputes, and any connected-account fees are the seller's responsibility.

You retain ownership of the photos and content you upload. By posting on Joda, you grant us a license to display, resize, and distribute your content for platform purposes (showing it to buyers, featuring it in marketing, etc.).

Joda's design, code, brand, and original content are our property. Don't copy or redistribute them without permission.

Joda is provided “as is.” We are not liable for disputes between buyers and sellers, lost payments, damaged items, or any indirect damages arising from use of the platform.

Our liability to you will not exceed the amount you've paid us in the 12 months preceding a claim.

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes. Continued use of Joda after changes constitutes acceptance.
