These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of freshswift.shop’s website, mobile app, and grocery delivery services (collectively, the “Services”) as a user in Nigeria. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to comply with these Terms, the Nigerian Consumer Protection Council (CPC) Act, the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019, and other applicable local laws. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.

- Be at least 18 years old (or have parental/guardian consent if you are under 18, with the guardian accepting these Terms on your behalf);
- Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information (e.g., name, address, phone number) when creating an account or placing an order;
- Reside within our designated delivery coverage area (see our Delivery Information page for details);
- Use our Services for personal, non-commercial purposes only (business or bulk orders require prior written approval from freshswift.shop).
2. Account Registration & Security
- Account Creation: You may register an account to track orders, save delivery addresses. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and login details.
- Account Responsibility: You agree to notify us immediately (via onlinesupermarket2424@gmail.com) if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by your failure to secure your account.
- Accuracy of Information: You must update your account information (e.g., changed address or phone number) promptly. We are not responsible for delivery delays, missed orders, or errors resulting from outdated information.
3. Order Placement & Confirmation
a. How to Place an Order
- Browse our product catalog, add items to your cart, and proceed to checkout. You must review your order (items, quantities, delivery address, and payment method) before submitting it.
- All product prices are displayed in Nigerian Naira (NGN) and include applicable taxes (e.g., VAT). Prices are subject to change without prior notice, but we will charge the price displayed at the time you place your order (unless the product is unavailable or priced incorrectly—see Section 3c).
b. Order Confirmation
- After submitting your order, you will receive an email/SMS/WhatsApp confirmation with your order number, estimated delivery time, and order summary. This confirmation does not mean your order is final—we reserve the right to accept or reject your order (e.g., if a product is out of stock or payment fails).
- We will notify you within 1 hour of order submission if we cannot fulfill your order (e.g., due to stock shortages). If rejected, any payment made will be refunded within 3–5 working days (depending on your payment method).
c. Pricing Errors & Stock Shortages
- In the event of a pricing error (e.g., a product is incorrectly priced), we will contact you to confirm if you wish to proceed at the correct price or cancel the order (with a full refund).
- If a product is out of stock after you place an order, we will:
- Offer a suitable replacement (e.g., a similar brand of rice or oil) at the same price; or
- Refund the cost of the out-of-stock item to your original payment method.
- We will notify you of replacements or stock shortages via phone/WhatsApp before delivery. If we cannot reach you, we will proceed with option 2 (refund) and include a note with your order.
4. Payment Terms
We accept the following payment methods (all in NGN):
- Mobile Wallets: Flutterwave, Paystack, Opay, Palmpay (payments are processed instantly—you will receive a receipt once confirmed).

Payment Security & Refunds
