Seller verification policy

Full policy

1) Purpose and scope

This policy describes how Homestorie at Homestorie.com onboards suppliers, verifies information, and enforces marketplace rules. Homestorie is a multi-seller storefront focused on home decor, furnishings, and related lifestyle products. The platform is operated by GEAD DAKLA LLC. We use these steps to protect shoppers, sellers, and payment partners, and to meet applicable laws.

2) Who may sell

• You are at least the age of majority where you live (typically 18+) and can enter binding contracts.
• You sell only goods you are allowed to list and can fulfill (including production, licensing, or sourcing as applicable).
• You follow all laws where you operate and where you ship—including taxes, product safety, and consumer rules.
• If you act as a business, you are properly registered or authorized to trade in your jurisdiction.

3) Onboarding steps

Before selling, you will typically:

• Create a seller account for Homestorie (email, shop identity, and secure password).
• Accept our terms, creator or supplier agreements, and other policies referenced at registration.
• Submit enough listing and catalog information for us to review quality, accuracy, and policy fit.
• Complete any extra checks we request for fraud prevention or compliance.

4) Information we may collect and verify

Depending on risk, region, and payout method, we may collect or confirm:

• Legal name or registered business name
• Contact email, phone, and business address where required
• Country or region of operation and tax identifiers if applicable
• Payout details processed through our payment partners (we do not store full card data on our servers)
• Samples of listings, artwork rights, or supplier documentation when relevant to IP or authenticity

5) Review and approval

Applications are reviewed case by case. We may approve, defer, or decline an account, or ask for more information. Listing on Homestorie is not guaranteed. We may consider catalog quality, policy risk, buyer safety, capacity, and past enforcement on this or other platforms.

6) Ongoing monitoring

Verification is not only at signup. We may recheck information, monitor listings and orders, and review buyer feedback or chargeback patterns. We can request updated documents or pause activity while we investigate.

7) What you must maintain

• Accurate titles, descriptions, images, variants, pricing, and availability
• Respect for intellectual property: list only content you own or are licensed to sell
• Honest shipping and handling practices; honor published policies and buyer communications
• Use customer personal data only to fulfill orders and as allowed by law and our privacy terms
• Professional conduct toward shoppers and platform staff

8) Suspension, restriction, or closure

We may limit or close seller access if, for example:

• Information is false, incomplete, or repeatedly out of date
• You breach our terms, this policy, or applicable law
• We see repeated IP complaints, counterfeit risk, or abusive behavior
• Payment risk, fraud signals, or chargeback rates require protective action

9) Independent relationship

Sellers are independent businesses or individuals. Nothing here makes you an employee, agent, or partner of GEAD DAKLA LLC or Homestorie. You remain responsible for your taxes, insurance, and compliance with regulations that apply to your products.

10) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal, product, or operational changes. The “Last updated” date in the summary above will change when we publish a revision. Continuing to sell after updates means you accept the current version, except where law requires otherwise.
