Terms of Use for Buyers
Regarding the separation of Plazko.com from the Plazko.com Marketplace (and other future Plazko sites and venues):
A. Plazko.com offers a selection of fine products and/or services
These items will be available for purchase directly through our online portal at Plazko.com, and payment directly to Plazko.com via accepted credit cards and online payment services. Plazko.com has its own Payment Policies and Returns and Refunds.
Pricing errors, out-of-stock, materials availability and quality, and other issues can occasionally cause an order to be delayed or canceled. Plazko.com will work with the Marketplace Sellers to help ensure that such incidents are handled promptly and fairly.
B. Plazko.com Marketplace
These Sellers operate separate venues called 'Shops' through our online portal, allowing Buyers to discover, research, and enter into transactions around the world. 'Specialty Shops' can include but are not limited to one-of-kind or limited edition artisan-made products; expertly curated collectible and vintage boutique items, and custom items. By shopping on Plazko.com Marketplace, you understand and agree that:
C. Marketplace Policies
D. Returns and Refunds
While Plazko.com will make every effort to provide return and refund services for sales on both Plazko.com and the Plazko.com Marketplace, we reserve the right to deny such to buyers who generate excessive or abusive returns or attempted returns. Those actions may void Plazko.com's collective Returns and Refunds, any guarantees as applied to future orders on Plazko.com site(s), or even account membership on Plazko.com, Plazko.com Marketplace, and other affiliated site(s).
Returns and Refunds, Guidelines, and Exceptions:
Non-Delivery
Occurs when a Buyer places an order and submits payment, but the order is not delivered. This includes but is not limited to the following:
Not-as-Described
Items are Not as Described if they are materially and substantially different from the Seller’s listing description or photos. Some Not-as-Described cases can be:
Not-as-Described cases may also be filed for late delivery under certain guidelines. In order to qualify as a Late Delivery, the Buyer must provide proof that all of these conditions have been met:
Ineligible Transactions
The following transactions are rendered ineligible for return/refund under the Plazko.com Terms of Use:
E. Leaving Reviews of Items
For clarity, review opportunities will be offered in three main categories: Seller, Product, and Shipping Carrier.
Reviews help other Buyers learn about a Shop’s items and reputation, help Buyers find the shipping carrier best for their needs, and help responsible Sellers build a good reputation.
Note: Plazko.com does not allow paid third-party reviews or in-kind reimbursement for product or service reviews. That means Sellers can't pay to get glowing reviews of their product or service from workers at online platforms such as Fiverr or Craigslist. If this sounds harsh, be aware that paid and often false reviews are a multimillion-dollar problem in online sales. False reviews distort sales figures, rankings, and customer confidence, resulting in an uneven playing field for genuine Sellers.
If someone gave you a free product or service listed on Plazko.com or Plazko.com Marketplace, in return for a good review, you may not leave that review on the Plazko.com site(s). Should the latter situation occur and you genuinely want to review a free product or service, we encourage you to review that item on a third-party site such as your personal blog, website, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, or other online account...and we'd be honored if you included that item's Plazko.com buy link or Seller's Shop link on Plazko.com Marketplace.
The sole exception to this policy concerns products offered as prizes, bonuses, giveaways, or other promotions by Plazko.com or Plazko.com Marketplace, in which cases reviews are welcomed on the Plazko.com site(s).
By leaving a review, you acknowledge that:
Your review will be publicly displayed on Plazko.com's or the Plazko.com Marketplace Seller's listing and review pages.
Your review must conform to some basic guidelines. These include:
Plazko.com does not allow extortion, blackmail, or any other kind of intimidation designed to manipulate Buyer reviews or Seller actions. Examples of extortion can include but are not limited to the following:
Shilling and sock-puppets are not allowed on Plazko.com.
As noted above, Plazko.com does not allow shilling by sock puppet accounts, false sales created by fraudulent means, third-party reviews paid for by the Seller, or other attempts to manipulate our review system.
Plazko.com reserves the right to remove reviews that violate our policies or Terms of Use.

The data provided by those Sellers and suppliers is for information purposes only, and may be inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, mis-categorized, or unhelpful; it may differ from information included on actual product packaging, inserts, or materials.
