We believe Plinth Tech buyers and sellers are fundamentally good. We also believe Nigerians deserve to shop and sell online with confidence and peace of mind. In order to achieve that, Plinth Tech does not allow the sale of inauthentic/counterfeit items, and sellers found to violate this may be banned from Plinth Tech’s marketplace. All items offered for sale on Plinth Tech must be authentic.

Plinth Tech does not allow the sale of inauthentic merchandise, including any items that have been manufactured, replicated, or reproduced without authorization. All items bearing a company's official brand name or logo must have been lawfully made by, for, or with the consent of that company, otherwise the seller is in violation of Plinth Tech’s Authentic Items policy.

It is the responsibility of each seller to source and sell only authentic products. If a seller is determined by Plinth Tech to have sold inauthentic/counterfeit goods, Plinth Tech may suspend or terminate the seller’s ability to sell on Plinth Tech immediately, indefinitely, and without warning; and current or future payments held by Plinth Tech on the seller’s behalf may be forfeited, withheld, and applied towards the reimbursement of buyers.

If a buyer receives an item determined to be inauthentic, Plinth Tech will not facilitate the return or replacement of this item to the seller and the seller bears the entire risk of losing the physical item, the monetary value of the item, and the privilege to continue selling on Plinth Tech. Sales of inauthentic/counterfeit goods may also lead to civil and criminal penalties and legal action against sellers by the lawful owners of the intellectual property infringed upon, and Plinth Tech will cooperate with the appropriate parties in holding the offending sellers accountable.
