In certain cases, such behaviour may lead to immediate termination of the Seller account and We may not accord a seller with 3 opportunities, such action shall be at Our sole discretion. Such behaviour indicates to us that the Seller has sought to provide services to Buyers outside the Site.

D.15 Seller accounts may also be blocked by us where it is found that the Seller has cancelled service requests more than 3 (three) times without a satisfactory explanation as to why this has been done. In all such cases, an explanation will be first sought from the Seller as to why they have made such cancellations (“Show Cause”). Where the Show Cause is found to be unsatisfactory the cancellation shall count towards the 3 cancellation limit, which eventually leads to account restrictions. In certain cases, such behaviour may lead to immediate termination of the Seller account and We may not accord a seller with 3 opportunities, such action shall be at Our sole discretion. Such behaviour indicates to us that the Seller has sought to provide services to Buyers outside the Site. An investigation will be undertaken by Gooby and all findings and decisions shall be final and binding on all parties.
