Terms of Service

Draft — pending legal review

This text is a working draft and is not yet in force. It will be replaced once it has been reviewed.

These terms will set out how Chakula, its buyers and its sellers deal with each other. This is a placeholder: it lists the sections the final terms will cover, and each section will be written, and reviewed by legal, before it takes effect.
