Last updated: February 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to BiDora ("BiDora", "we", "our", "us").

BiDora is a digital agricultural marketplace platform that connects independent farmers ("Farmers") with buyers ("Buyers") for reservation-based agricultural offerings, including but not limited to durian farm visits, pre-orders, direct sales, and bulk purchases.

By accessing or using the BiDora platform ("Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.


2. Role of BiDora

BiDora acts solely as a technology platform facilitating reservations and payments between Farmers and Buyers.

BiDora:

  • Does not own, produce, or store agricultural products.
  • Does not guarantee harvest quantity, quality, or availability.
  • Is not the seller of goods listed on the Platform.

Each Farmer is solely responsible for:

4. Reservations & Payments

Farmers may configure packages to require:

  • A deposit (e.g., 10–30% of total price), or
  • Full upfront payment

Payment terms are displayed before checkout.

All payments are processed via third-party payment providers. BiDora does not store full credit/debit card details.

A reservation is considered confirmed only when payment is successfully processed.


5. Cancellations & Refunds

Refund policies may vary depending on the Farmer's configuration and circumstances.

Typical scenarios:

  • Farmer Cancellation: Buyer is eligible for refund of deposit or full payment.
