Terms of Service

1. Marketplace Role

LocateLanka.lk provides an online venue connecting buyers, sellers, landlords, employers, service providers, and Sri Lankan artisans. Unless explicitly stated on an inspected or CeylonCraft direct-checkout order, LocateLanka is not a party to offline transactions between buyers and sellers.

2. Listing Accuracy & Prohibited Content

• All ads must accurately describe a real item, property, job vacancy, or service available in Sri Lanka (or verified foreign employment with valid SLBFE registration where applicable).
• Duplicate spam ads, bait-and-switch pricing, stolen photos, counterfeit goods, illegal wildlife products, weapons, hazardous materials, and advance-fee scams are strictly prohibited.
• LocateLanka reserves the right to remove or suspend listings or accounts that violate marketplace trust rules.

3. Paid Promotions, Memberships & PayHere Checkout

Optional paid promotions (Bump Up, Urgent, Top Ad, Featured Spotlight) and Dealer Storefront memberships take effect automatically upon verified PayHere payment confirmation. Promotion fees are non-refundable once applied to a live listing, except where a listing is rejected prior to publication due to a platform error.

4. Vehicle Leasing, Import Tax & Loan Calculators

EMI estimates, Sri Lanka Customs/Excise duty calculations, and bank housing loan rates displayed on LocateLanka are indicative estimates based on published schedules and partner rates. Final credit approval, interest rates, and customs assessments are determined by the relevant Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) licensed financial institution or Sri Lanka Customs.

5. Safe Trading Guidelines

• Always inspect vehicles, electronics, and property deeds in person in a safe public location before transferring funds.
• Never send advance deposits via bank transfer or mobile money to unverified strangers.
• Look for the Verified Seller / Verified Dealer badge and report suspicious ads immediately.
