Last Updated: August 23, 2026

This Seller Agreement (“Agreement”) governs participation as a seller on the Whalewick marketplace.

Whalewick is operated by Cloverpin Inc., a California corporation in the United States (“Cloverpin,” “Whalewick,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By applying for, creating, activating, or continuing to use a Whalewick Vendor account, the business identified in the Vendor account (“Vendor,” “Seller,” “you,” or “your”) agrees to this Agreement and all Whalewick policies incorporated into it.

If you do not agree to this Agreement, you may not sell products through Whalewick.

1. Whalewick Marketplace

Whalewick is a multi-vendor marketplace focused on electronics and related products in Sri Lanka.

Whalewick provides technology and marketplace services that may include:

• Vendor storefronts;

• product listings;

• customer accounts;

• order management;

• payment facilitation;

• Stripe Connect integrations;

• Cash on Delivery functionality;

• Pay-at-Store functionality;

• customer reviews;

• returns and dispute management;

• Vendor dashboards;

• customer support;

• marketing tools; and

• related marketplace functionality.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Vendor remains the seller of the products it lists through Whalewick.

2. Vendor Eligibility

Whalewick currently accepts registered businesses operating in Sri Lanka.

Individual or casual personal sellers are not eligible unless Whalewick changes this requirement in the future.

To qualify as a Vendor, you must:

• operate a legally registered business;

• provide valid Sri Lankan business-registration documentation;

• provide the NIC information of an authorized owner, director, officer, or representative where requested;

• maintain a valid Sri Lankan bank account;

• provide accurate business contact information;

• complete required Whalewick verification;

• complete applicable Stripe Connect onboarding;

• have authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the business; and

• comply with applicable Sri Lankan laws and marketplace policies.

Whalewick may request additional verification where reasonably necessary.

3. Vendor Verification

Whalewick may verify information including:

• legal business name;

• business-registration number;

• registered or operating address;

• NIC information;

• authorized representatives;

• telephone number;

• email address;

• banking information;

• Stripe account information;

• product sourcing;

• reseller authorization;

• distributor relationships; and

• other compliance information.

You authorize Whalewick and its service providers to conduct reasonable verification checks.

You must promptly update information that becomes inaccurate or outdated.

4. Sri Lankan Bank Account

Vendors must maintain a valid Sri Lankan bank account that is acceptable for receiving payouts through Whalewick's supported payment infrastructure.

The account must belong to:

• the registered Vendor business; or

• another legally acceptable account holder approved during verification.

Whalewick may require evidence establishing ownership or control of the bank account.

5. Stripe Connect

Whalewick uses Stripe Connect to facilitate certain Vendor payment and payout functionality.

As a Vendor, you may be required to:

• create or connect a Stripe account;

• provide identity information;

• provide business information;

• provide banking information;

• complete verification requested by Stripe;

• accept applicable Stripe agreements; and

• comply with Stripe requirements.

Stripe may independently impose:

• verification requirements;

• payment restrictions;

• reserves;

• payout restrictions;

• account limitations; or

• other measures under its applicable terms.

Whalewick does not control all decisions made independently by Stripe.

6. 0% Marketplace Commission

Whalewick's standard marketplace commission is:

0%

Whalewick does not deduct a marketplace sales commission from Vendor product sales.

Accordingly:

Vendors keep 100% of their product sales proceeds.

For clarity, “0% Commission” means that Whalewick does not charge a percentage-based marketplace commission on the Vendor's product sale amount.

7. External Costs

The 0% marketplace commission does not mean that every transaction is free of external expenses.

Vendors remain responsible for applicable third-party or operational costs, which may include:

• Stripe payment-processing fees;

• bank charges;

• payout charges;

• currency-related charges;

• refunds;

• chargebacks;

• dispute charges;

• shipping expenses;

• taxes;

• government charges;

• insurance;

• optional paid services; and

• other external expenses.

These costs are not Whalewick marketplace commission.

Unless Whalewick expressly agrees otherwise, payment-processing fees are the responsibility of the Vendor.

8. Future Whalewick Fees

Whalewick will not retroactively impose marketplace commission on completed transactions.

If Whalewick introduces:

• subscription plans;

• advertising services;

• premium seller tools;

• featured-placement fees;

• optional marketing services; or

• other paid services,

the applicable pricing will be disclosed separately.

Use of an optional paid service will be subject to its applicable terms.

Any future change to the standard marketplace commission will be communicated before it becomes effective and will not apply retroactively to completed transactions.

9. Product Categories

electronics and related products.

Whalewick may establish approved product categories and subcategories.

Whalewick may add, restrict, or remove categories as the marketplace evolves.

10. Product Condition

Whalewick allows eligible products to be listed as:

The Vendor must clearly and accurately select the appropriate condition.

A Vendor must not advertise:

• color;

• compatibility;

Material omissions may be treated as misleading listings.

Images must not intentionally conceal:

• damage;

• missing accessories;

Strictly prohibited products include:

14. Authorized Reseller Claims

A Vendor may claim to be:

• an Authorized Reseller;

• Authorized Dealer;

• Authorized Distributor;

• Official Partner; or

• similar designation

only if that claim is genuine and supported by valid authorization.

Whalewick may request documentation.

You must notify Whalewick immediately if your authorization:

• expires;

• is suspended;

• is terminated;

• becomes restricted; or

• is otherwise no longer valid.

Whalewick may remove authorization badges or claims where evidence is insufficient.

15. Inventory

Vendors must make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate inventory.

Products should not intentionally remain available for purchase when the Vendor knows they are unavailable.

Repeated cancellations resulting from inaccurate inventory may result in:

• reduced marketplace visibility;

• listing restrictions;

• account review; or

• suspension.

16. Pricing

Vendors control their product prices, subject to marketplace rules and applicable law.

Prices must be truthful.

Vendors may not use misleading pricing practices, including fabricated reference prices or discounts.

• suspected fraud;

• legal restrictions; or

• Stripe requirements;

• Vendor account configuration; and

• applicable marketplace processes.

Vendors authorize Whalewick and Stripe to process transactions and adjustments necessary to operate the marketplace.

19. Cash on Delivery

Whalewick may permit Vendors to offer:

Cash on Delivery (“COD”).

For COD orders, Vendors are responsible for appropriate collection arrangements through their chosen delivery process.

The Vendor is responsible for accurately recording the transaction and order status.

Whalewick may establish additional COD rules to reduce:

• fraudulent orders;

• failed deliveries;

• accounting discrepancies; and

• abuse.

20. Pay at Store

Whalewick may permit Vendors to offer:

Order Online — Pay at Store.

Under this feature:

1. the customer places the order through Whalewick;

2. the Vendor accepts/prepares the order;

3. the customer visits the approved Vendor location;

4. the customer pays the Vendor at the store; and

5. the Vendor records completion through Whalewick.

Pay at Store is an approved Whalewick transaction method and is not considered prohibited off-platform circumvention when properly used.

21. Off-Platform Transactions

Except for officially supported Pay-at-Store transactions, Vendors may not use Whalewick to acquire customers and then intentionally move the transaction outside the Platform.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• asking customers to cancel a Whalewick order and pay privately;

• directing customers to purchase the listed product from another website to avoid marketplace processes;

• providing bank details solely to bypass Whalewick;

• requesting private payment after obtaining a customer through Whalewick;

• using Whalewick customer information to solicit unauthorized off-platform purchases.

Whalewick may suspend Vendors that intentionally circumvent the marketplace.

22. Shipping Responsibility

Vendors are responsible for shipping their own orders.

Whalewick currently does not provide the shipping service.

A Vendor may use:

• third-party couriers; or

• another lawful delivery provider.

The Vendor is responsible for selecting and managing those providers.

23. Shipping Information

Vendors must provide accurate:

• shipping charges;

• delivery coverage;

• estimated delivery times;

• dispatch information; and

• tracking information where available.

Vendors are responsible for appropriately packaging products.

24. Risk During Delivery

Responsibility for loss or damage during delivery will be determined under applicable law, the applicable shipping arrangement, and Whalewick policies.

Vendors should use appropriate:

• packaging;

• tracking;

• insurance where appropriate; and

• delivery confirmation

for high-value electronics.

25. 14-Day Return Period

Whalewick uses a standard:

14-DAY RETURN PERIOD

for eligible marketplace purchases.

Unless an exception permitted by applicable law and Whalewick policy clearly applies, the 14-day period begins when the customer:

• receives the delivered product; or

• collects the product from the Vendor's store.

Vendors agree to comply with the Whalewick Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy.

26. Change-of-Mind Returns

Eligible customers may request a change-of-mind return within the applicable 14-day period, subject to Whalewick's return conditions.

The Vendor may reasonably require the product to be returned:

• in materially unchanged condition;

• without customer-caused damage;

• with included accessories;

• with applicable manuals;

• with serial-number labels intact; and

• with packaging where reasonably required.

Applicable exclusions must comply with Whalewick policy and law.

27. Defective or Incorrect Products

Where you send:

• a defective product;

• an incorrect product;

• a materially misdescribed product;

• a damaged product; or

• an incomplete product,

you are responsible for resolving the issue in accordance with Whalewick policy and applicable law.

When the Vendor is responsible for the problem, the Vendor is responsible for applicable return-shipping expenses.

28. Initial Return Review

The Vendor receives the first opportunity to review a return request.

You may reasonably inspect the item and supporting evidence.

You must not:

• automatically reject valid claims;

• intentionally delay returns until the 14-day period expires;

• impose undisclosed return requirements;

• deny statutory consumer rights; or

• pressure customers to close legitimate disputes.

Whalewick may request:

32. Warranty Accuracy

A Vendor must not advertise:

unless the warranty is genuinely backed by the stated authorized distributor.

Vendor warranties must clearly identify:

Used, refurbished, and open-box products may have warranty terms different from new products.

The Vendor remains responsible for mandatory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

34. Payout Eligibility

For applicable prepaid transactions, Vendor funds become eligible for normal payout after the 14-day return period has expired, subject to this Agreement.

This approach allows the applicable customer return period to expire before normal release of Vendor funds.

35. Seven-Day Payout Cycle

Whalewick normally operates a:

7-DAY VENDOR PAYOUT CYCLE

for eligible balances.

This means eligible balances are processed according to the applicable weekly payout schedule.

Actual timing may also depend on:

• weekends;

• holidays;

• account verification;
