These terms apply to every designer who registers to showcase or sell through Vibes & Styles (the “Platform”). By registering, you agree to them.
By creating a designer account, submitting a lookbook, or listing products on Vibes & Styles, you enter into a binding agreement with Vibes & Styles (“we”, “us”, “our”). If you do not agree to these terms, do not register or sell through the Platform.
To be eligible, you must:
Vibes & Styles does not hold, control, or forward designer payouts. If you choose to sell through the Vibes & Styles store, you must complete Paystack onboarding directly with Paystack, including:
Your products cannot be sold through the store until this onboarding is complete and your subaccount is active. You are responsible for keeping your Paystack account, KYC, and bank details up to date. Paystack’s own terms, fees, and settlement timelines apply to you.
If you have not completed Paystack onboarding, you may still participate in a show and have your lookbook listed in link or contact mode (see section 5).
Accuracy. You are responsible for product names, descriptions, prices, images, sizes, materials, and stock levels. Listings must not be misleading.
Stock ownership. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you retain ownership of your inventory. You are responsible for setting and maintaining accurate stock counts. If a product shows as available but is actually out of stock, you must cancel or fulfil the order promptly.
Made-to-order and pre-order. You may mark items as “Made to order” or “Pre-order”. You must state a realistic production and shipping timeframe and meet it.
Pricing. You set your retail prices. Prices must be in Nigerian Naira (₦) and include any taxes you are required to collect.
Content licence. You grant Vibes & Styles a non-exclusive licence to display, promote, and sell your products and lookbook content on the Platform, in show materials, and in our marketing.
Designers accepted to showcase at a Vibes & Styles show may have their lookbook including selected images, name, bio, collection story, and links listed on the Vibes & Styles website.
Showcase participation does not automatically enrol you in selling through the store. You choose one of the following modes for your lookbook listing:
You may change your chosen mode by written notice to Vibes & Styles. Active orders placed before the change must still be fulfilled under the original mode. Vibes & Styles may edit or remove lookbook content that is inaccurate, unlawful, or in breach of these terms.
Commission. Vibes & Styles retains a commission on each sale made through the Vibes & Styles store. The commission rate will be communicated to you before you list products and will be shown in your dashboard or agreement. Commission is calculated on the retail price of the item, excluding shipping, unless otherwise stated.
Direct Paystack payout. When a customer pays for a designer product through the Vibes & Styles store, Paystack processes the payment and splits it at the point of charge:
No payout if onboarding is incomplete. If your Paystack subaccount is not active or your details are incorrect, your item cannot be sold through the store, or the payout may fail. Vibes & Styles is not responsible for delays or failures caused by Paystack, your bank, or incomplete onboarding.
Paystack fees. You are responsible for any fees Paystack charges on your share or your account. Vibes & Styles is not responsible for those fees.
Settlement timing. Paystack controls settlement timing to your bank account. Vibes & Styles does not control or guarantee when your bank credits your account.
Refunds and chargebacks. If a customer refund or chargeback is approved, the transaction may be reversed through Paystack. Where Paystack reverses the split, your share is reversed automatically. If a reversal is not possible, you agree to reimburse Vibes & Styles the amount of your share within 14 days of written notice.
Taxes. You are responsible for your own taxes on your sales and payouts. Vibes & Styles is responsible for its own taxes. Nothing in these terms makes Vibes & Styles your tax agent.
Negative balances. If refunds, chargebacks, or adjustments create a negative balance on your account, Vibes & Styles may set off that balance against future sales or invoice you for the amount owed.
You hold stock. For “Ready to ship” items, you are responsible for storing, packing, and shipping the product to the customer.
Stock updates. Update your stock levels promptly. If you sell the same item elsewhere — your own website, marketplaces, or a physical shop, you must adjust your stock to avoid overselling.
Shipping. You choose the courier and shipping method, and you must provide a tracking number where available. Update the order status in your dashboard.
Shipping time. Ship within the timeframe stated on your product listing. If you cannot meet it, contact the customer and notify Vibes & Styles immediately.
Shipping costs. Shipping is charged to the customer at checkout according to the shop’s shipping rules. You are responsible for packaging and delivery to the courier.
Order acceptance. When a customer places an order for your product, you will receive a notification. Accept or reject the order within the timeframe shown in your dashboard. If you do not respond, the order may be auto-cancelled.
Cancellation. You may cancel an order only if the item is no longer available, the customer requests cancellation, or there is a legitimate fulfilment issue. Repeated cancellations may result in account review.
Out of stock after order. If you cannot fulfil an order because of a stock issue, notify Vibes & Styles and the customer immediately and refund the customer in full.
Returns. Customers may return items in accordance with the Vibes & Styles return policy. You will be notified of any return affecting your product.
Refunds. Refunds are processed through the Platform. If a refund is approved, the corresponding amount including your share will be reversed through Paystack or deducted from your future payouts.
Damaged or incorrect items. If a customer receives a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, you are responsible for resolving it with the customer, including replacement or refund where appropriate.
Chargebacks. If a customer disputes a charge with their bank and the dispute is resolved in the customer’s favour, the amount will be reversed or recovered from you as described in section 6.
You represent that you own or have the rights to all text, images, designs, and products you list. You grant Vibes & Styles a non-exclusive licence to display, promote, and sell your products on the Platform and in marketing materials.
Vibes & Styles trademarks, branding, platform technology, and show content remain our property. You may not use them without our written permission.
You must not:
Violations may result in removal of listings, suspension, or termination of your account.
Either party may terminate this agreement with written notice. Vibes & Styles may terminate or suspend your account immediately for breach of these terms, fraud, or repeated customer complaints.
Upon termination:
Vibes & Styles provides the sales and showcase platform but does not manufacture, ship, or warrant your products. You are solely responsible for the quality, safety, and legality of your products and for your own Paystack account, tax, and regulatory compliance.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vibes & Styles is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the Platform, Paystack’s services, or your own website or contact channels.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Disputes will first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between you and Vibes & Styles.
We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you by email or through your dashboard. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
For questions about these terms, contact Vibes & Styles at:
By registering as a designer, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Designer Terms of Service.
Before your products can be sold through the Vibes & Styles store:
For showcase-only participation (link or contact mode), items 1–3 are not required, but the lookbook content and contact details must still be accurate.
