7. Verification
AfriLynq may offer supplier or buyer verification. Verification means that AfriLynq has carried out checks based on information and documents available to it. Verification does not guarantee quality, safety, legality, financial standing, reliability or performance. Users should conduct their own due diligence.

AfriLynq may facilitate introductions, enquiries, quotations, negotiations and other marketplace communications. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the actual sale and purchase contract is between the buyer and supplier.
Users are responsible for agreeing price, quantity, quality, specifications, delivery, shipping, insurance, payment, customs, import and export requirements, taxes and other contractual terms.
9. Product quality and compliance
Suppliers are responsible for ensuring products comply with applicable requirements, including where applicable food safety, product standards, labelling, certification, export, import and other United Kingdom or international requirements.

Where AfriLynq introduces or integrates logistics providers, those providers may operate under separate terms. AfriLynq does not guarantee delivery times unless expressly agreed in writing.
