1. About PurnOrganic
PurnOrganic is a technology-enabled multi-sided marketplace that connects buyers with certified organic farmers, producers, and suppliers across India. PurnOrganic acts as an intermediary platform facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers; it is not the seller or manufacturer of any listed product unless explicitly stated.
2. User Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years of age to register and transact on the Platform.
- Sellers, suppliers, and B2B partners must be legally constituted entities or adult individuals capable of entering into binding contracts under applicable Indian law.
