Seller & KYC Terms

These Seller & KYC Terms apply to users who request verification in order to obtain seller access on Rupaia. By submitting a KYC application, the user confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms.

1. Purpose of Verification

KYC verification is used to verify the identity of users who request seller access and to reduce the risk of misuse, fraud, impersonation, and other activities that may violate Rupaia policies.

2. Accuracy of Information

Users must provide identity information that is accurate, complete, valid, and belongs to themselves. Users may not submit another person's identity or intentionally provide false or misleading information.

3. Identity Documents

Users may be required to provide identifying information and supporting documents for verification. Submitted documents are used only for purposes related to account verification, seller administration, security, and other operational requirements of the platform.

4. Processing of Personal Data

By submitting a KYC application, users consent to Rupaia processing the personal data provided for identity verification, account administration, fraud prevention, seller access management, payout administration, and platform security.

KYC information is not intended to be displayed publicly on the user's profile.

5. Verification Decision

Submission of a KYC application does not automatically grant seller access. Rupaia administrators may verify or reject an application based on the information and documents submitted.

6. Rejected Applications

If an application is rejected, the user may receive an administrative note explaining the reason. Where permitted by the system, the user may correct the relevant information and submit another application.

7. Seller Access

Seller privileges are granted only after the KYC application has been verified. Seller access may include publishing content for sale, receiving seller revenue, registering payout bank accounts, and requesting payouts in accordance with Rupaia policies.

8. Bank Account and Payout

Seller payout information must be accurate and belong to the seller or otherwise satisfy the account ownership requirements applied by Rupaia. Rupaia may delay or reject a payout where the account information is invalid, inconsistent, disputed, or otherwise requires further verification.

9. Prohibited Conduct

Users may not falsify identity documents, impersonate another person, manipulate verification data, misuse another person's personal information, or attempt to bypass the verification process.

10. Policy Version

Rupaia may update these Seller & KYC Terms when necessary. The policy version accepted by the user is recorded when the KYC application is submitted.

11. User Declaration

By submitting a KYC application, the user declares that the information provided is accurate, the submitted documents belong to the user, and the user agrees to the Seller & KYC Terms and the processing of personal data required for the verification process.
