Payment Processing

Upon engaging in a transaction on the marketplace operated by Local Marketplace Technologies Inc (AKA "Loma") on behalf of , the Purchaser ("Buyer User") authorizes Loma to act as their limited payment collection agent. Buyer User agrees to provide accurate payment details and authorizes Loma to charge their chosen payment method for the total purchase price, alongside any additional fees or taxes. Loma uses a third-party payment processor to handle Buyer Users' payments. Buyer Users make purchases with their preferred payment method, and the payment processor handles the transaction. The payment processor will facilitate the transfer of the purchase price from the Buyer User's account to Loma.

Seller Payouts & Distribution

Seller ("Seller User") acknowledges and agrees that Loma maintains the right to hold funds upon the sale of merchandise until confirmation of receipt by the purchasing User and/or a third party delivery service. Once a Buyer User's receipt of order is confirmed, and no dispute is raised within 48 hours of receipt, the payment, less Loma's marketplace fees, will be remitted to the Seller User. Payments to Seller Users for items sold (i.e. "Payouts") are made by Loma. If you have not received a payout after 5 working days following receipt of order, please contact Support. By using Loma, Seller User consents to the possibility that payout or distribution of funds may be delayed under certain circumstances as determined by Loma. These could involve instances such as dispute resolution processes, considerations of fraudulent conduct, violation of Loma policies, or other circumstances as provided under Loma's terms.
