1. Scope of These Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of the Ezda mobile application, website and related services ("Ezda", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, accessing Ezda or using any Ezda feature, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use Ezda.

These Terms also constitute the End User License Agreement ("EULA") between you and Ezda for the Ezda mobile application, including iOS and Android versions, and govern your licence to download, install and use the app.

These Terms are available in English and may be translated into other languages. The contractual language is English. If a French version is later provided, it may prevail in case of contradiction, except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise.

2. What Ezda Is

  • Ezda is a marketplace that connects users who want to buy gems with users who want to sell gems.
  • Ezda itself does not buy or sell gems. All gem transactions are concluded directly between users.
  • Ezda provides tools to create accounts, list gems (professional sellers), search, negotiate via chat, organise in-person appointments, leave ratings/reviews, and manage fees/commission via payment providers.
  • All gem deals are completed offline, in person, between buyer and seller. Ezda is not present at meetings and does not handle the physical exchange of gems or money.

3. User Types and Roles

3.1 Single user account, multiple roles

Ezda has only one type of account: a User account. With one account, a User may act as a Buyer, as a Professional Seller, or both. "Buyer" means a User acting in the buying role in a specific chat or transaction. "Seller" or "Professional Seller" means a User acting in the selling role in a specific chat or transaction and using Ezda for professional or business purposes.

3.2 Consumer vs professional buyer

A Consumer is a natural person acting outside their trade, business or profession. A Professional is a person or entity acting for purposes related to their trade, business or profession. Certain legal protections apply only to consumers.

4. Eligibility

  • You are at least 18 years old (or age of majority).
  • You have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
  • If acting as a Seller/Professional Seller, you act for professional or business purposes and comply with all applicable laws (tax, customs, export/import, AML, etc.).
  • You are not subject to sanctions or trade restrictions that would make it illegal for us or our partners to provide services to you.
  • You are not banned from using Ezda.

5. Account Registration

To use Ezda, you must create an account and explicitly accept these Terms (EULA) and our Privacy Policy when prompted in the app (for example by ticking a checkbox or tapping “By creating an account, you agree to our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy”).

If you do not accept, you must not create an account and must not use Ezda.

You must keep login details confidential and are responsible for all actions through your account. If you suspect unauthorised use, change your password and contact us promptly.

6. Becoming a Seller - Application, Identity, Company

6.1 Application fee

Before acting as a User, you must pay a one-time application fee (amount and currency shown in the app). It covers onboarding and verification and is generally non-refundable unless mandatory consumer law or an explicit exception applies. We may refuse or cancel your application if you provide false information, do not meet risk/compliance criteria, or law/partners require it.

6.2 Identity verification (KYC)

To become a User, you must complete identity verification, follow instructions, complete liveness checks, and submit clear ID photos. Attempts are limited; too many failures may lock your account. We may refuse or withdraw User status if we suspect fraud, cannot complete verification, or law/partners require it.

6.3 Company registration and documents

To act as a professional User, you must register your company (name, number, date, address, main selling city, business type, specialisation) and upload required documents. Information must be accurate and authorised. We may approve, request changes, or reject if documents are missing/unclear/expired, activity is high risk, or law requires. Only the User who owns the company profile may view or edit it.

Ezda is a marketplace dedicated to fine gemstones. As a professional User, you confirm your business specialises in fine gemstones and listings meet our Fine Gem Standards (accepted types, origins, treatments, minimum clarity). Standards may be updated over time.

7. Use of Ezda as a Buyer

As a Buyer you can search gems, open chats, organise appointments, record outcomes, and leave reviews.

You agree to act honestly, avoid pretending to buy without genuine intent, respect appointments, and comply with applicable laws and safety rules.

8. Use of Ezda as a Seller

As a Seller you can list gems, create trips, respond to buyers, negotiate, record results, and receive reviews.

You agree to provide accurate information (including treatments), not hide defects, respect appointments, comply with laws, and not bypass Ezda fees when deals originate from Ezda. We may request proof (certificates, invoices, media); refusal or suspicion of fraud may lead to suspension or termination.

9. Trips and Location

Trips indicate where and when Sellers are available with gems. Trips must use real cities, valid dates, and may require location verification. Fake trips or claiming presence where absent are prohibited. Ezda may update or cancel trips for abuse or issues.

10. AI Tools

Ezda may offer AI-powered features to help search or describe gems or provide educational content. AI responses are informational only and may be incomplete or erroneous. AI does not replace professional gemological, legal, tax, or investment advice. You remain responsible for your decisions, listing accuracy, and use of AI output, and must not treat AI output as marketing or contractual claims without checking accuracy.

11. Fees and Payments

Ezda uses payment providers to process application fees, subscription fees, commissions, and other charges. All fees are shown before payment.

11.1 Application fee

One-time, non-refundable unless mandatory consumer law or explicit exceptions apply.

11.2 Subscription fee

May apply after reaching a sales threshold. Users must save a valid payment method, are informed of price and billing, and authorise recurring charges. If we cannot charge fees, we may suspend or limit features.

11.2.1 Right of withdrawal for consumers

Ezda is primarily for professional Users. For professional Users, no statutory right of withdrawal applies. EU consumers may have a 14-day withdrawal right for qualifying distance contracts unless an exception applies.

11.3 Commission on sales

Commission may apply to sales initiated through Ezda. Structure is shown in the app or Seller agreement. Users agree to declare sales accurately and pay commission. Hiding or misreporting sales may lead to restrictions or termination.

11.4 Taxes, customs and other charges

Fees are shown excluding taxes unless stated. Each User is responsible for applicable taxes, duties, and bank/FX fees. Ezda does not provide tax advice.

12. In-Person Appointments and Safety

Appointments occur outside Ezda's control and at Users' risk. Users are responsible for safe locations, precautions, verifying identity, and verifying gems/payments. Ezda does not guarantee attendance, safety, authenticity, or act as insurer. If unsafe, cancel or leave and contact authorities if needed.

13. Deals, Gems and Authenticity

Transactions are solely between Buyer and Seller; Ezda is not a party. Sellers are responsible for existence, ownership, and accurate descriptions (including treatments and origins). Buyers must perform due diligence and inspect gems. Ezda does not guarantee authenticity, value, or appreciation. Certificates are provided by Sellers or third-party labs.

14. Ratings and Reviews

Buyers and Sellers may leave reviews after deals. Reviews must be honest and avoid harassment, defamation, or personal data without consent. Ezda may use ratings internally and remove reviews that violate law or these Terms. Reviews reflect user opinions, not Ezda's views.

15. Prohibited Use — Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content and Abusive Users

Ezda has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. If you post, share, request, promote, or engage in objectionable content or abusive conduct, we may remove content immediately and suspend or terminate your account without notice, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

  • Harassment, bullying, intimidation, stalking, or targeted abuse.
  • Hate speech or discriminatory content (based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar protected characteristics).
  • Threats of violence, incitement to violence, or glorification of violence.
  • Sexual content that is exploitative or inappropriate, including any sexual content involving minors (strictly prohibited).
  • Non-consensual intimate imagery, revenge porn, or sexual extortion.
  • Content that facilitates illegal activity (including fraud, money laundering, or evasion of sanctions).
  • Doxxing or sharing personal data of others without consent (addresses, IDs, phone numbers, private documents).
  • Spam, scams, phishing, malware, or attempts to compromise the app or other users.

15.2 Abusive user behaviour (not allowed)

  • Repeatedly wasting other users’ time by booking appointments without genuine intent to transact.
  • Extortion, coercion, intimidation, or aggressive negotiation tactics.
  • Impersonation or misrepresentation (identity, company, certificates, gem characteristics, origin/treatment, ownership).
  • Attempts to move a deal off-platform to avoid fees when the lead originated from Ezda.
  • Any behaviour that makes other users feel unsafe or prevents them from using Ezda normally.

15.3 Enforcement

Enforcement may include warning, content removal, feature limitations, temporary suspension, permanent termination, device/account blocking, and where appropriate, reporting to competent authorities. We may also preserve relevant data as required for compliance, fraud prevention, or legal claims, as described in the Privacy Policy.

15.4 Reporting objectionable content or abusive users

If you see objectionable content or abusive behaviour, please report it using the in-app reporting feature, or by email to contact@ezda.ai with (i) your account identifier, (ii) the username/content/chat involved, (iii) screenshots or evidence, and (iv) a short explanation.

We aim to review reports promptly and take appropriate action within a reasonable time, depending on severity and available information.

16. Intellectual Property

Ezda and its original content are owned by Ezda or licensors. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Ezda. You must not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivatives, or use Ezda branding without consent, or recreate a competing service.

17. User Content and Hosting (LCEN)

17.1 User content

You own your content but grant Ezda a licence to host, store, display, operate, improve, and promote Ezda. You confirm rights to submit content and that it is legal and non-harmful. You must not upload, publish, or transmit any content that is objectionable, abusive, illegal, or infringes third-party rights. This includes the categories listed in Section 15. Ezda may remove content considered illegal or contrary to these Terms.

17.2 Hosting provider status (French LCEN)

Ezda is not under a general obligation to monitor content but must remove or disable manifestly illegal content once properly notified. Notices should be emailed to contact@ezda.ai with identity, description, location, legal reason, and evidence.

17.3 Retention of user content (gem photos and videos)

Content is stored as needed to operate Ezda while accounts and listings are active. Deleted or deactivated content may be retained (generally up to 5 years) to meet legal obligations, prevent fraud, ensure security, or defend claims. Longer retention may apply for suspected fraud or disputes, within legal limits. After retention, data is deleted or anonymised.

18. Privacy and Data Protection (GDPR / CNIL)

Ezda acts as data controller under EU GDPR and French law. Rights may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection (including profiling and marketing), and instructions after death (France). Contact contact@ezda.ai to exercise rights. Complaints can be lodged with a supervisory authority (in France, CNIL). Details are in the Privacy Policy.

19. Service Availability and Changes

Ezda is provided "as is" and "as available" without guarantee of error-free or uninterrupted service. Features, design, pricing, and platform support may change or be suspended. For significant changes we will use reasonable efforts to inform you.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted, Ezda is not liable for losses related to Buyer and Seller relationships, loss of profits/business/data, or incidents before, during, or after meetings. Ezda does not guarantee authenticity, quality, value, user reliability, or provide financial/legal/investment advice. If liable, total aggregated liability is capped at the higher of fees paid in the prior 12 months or 100 EUR, unless mandatory law requires more. Some jurisdictions may vary.

21. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Ezda, its directors, employees, and partners from claims, damages, or costs arising from your use, breach of Terms, violation of law or third-party rights, content you submit, or deals you conclude.

22. Sanctions and Export Compliance

You represent you are not located in or resident of a comprehensively sanctioned country and are not on sanctions or denied parties lists. You agree not to use Ezda in ways that would cause sanctions, export control, or AML violations. Ezda may suspend or terminate if use creates compliance risk.

23. Suspension and Termination

Ezda may suspend or terminate immediately for breaches of these Terms, including any objectionable content or abusive behaviour (Section 15), suspected fraud/illegal activity, fee non-payment, or legal/compliance requirements. On termination you lose access; some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate purposes.
