Dukancard
Terms of Service
Last updated: April 10, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using the Dukancard platform (including our website, mobile applications, and related services, collectively the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
We may revise these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
2. Platform Overview
Dukancard is a hyperlocal commerce platform that enables:
- Customers to discover local businesses, browse product catalogs, place orders, and arrange pickup or delivery.
- Businesses to create digital storefronts, manage product listings, process orders, and receive payments.
- Riders to accept and fulfill delivery assignments.
The Platform facilitates transactions between these parties but does not itself sell products or provide delivery services directly. Businesses listed on Dukancard are independent third-party merchants.
3. Eligibility
You may use the Platform only if you:
- Are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).
- Have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding agreement.
- Are not currently barred or suspended from using the Platform by Dukancard.
4. Accounts
To access certain features, you must register an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
- Maintain the security of your credentials and not share your account with others.
- Promptly update your information if it changes.
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise harmful activity.
Account Deactivation vs. Deletion
You may deactivate your personal account at any time, and merchants may set their store offline or disable their storefront. However, Dukancard does not permanently delete account records or associated data from our databases.
As an e-commerce platform, we are required to maintain records of transactions, orders, payments, and related communications for legal, regulatory, auditing, and financial-reporting purposes. This includes obligations under tax law, consumer-protection statutes, anti-fraud requirements, and dispute-resolution processes.
Deactivated accounts will no longer appear in public listings or social features, and merchants with disabled storefronts will not be discoverable. However, the underlying records are retained in accordance with applicable law and our data-retention policy. If you have questions about your data, contact us at support@dukancard.com.
5. Business Owners & Merchants
If you register as a business owner, additional terms apply:
- You represent that your business is legally registered and authorized to operate in your jurisdiction.
- You are responsible for obtaining any licenses, permits, or approvals required to sell your products.
- You must provide accurate business information including address, contact details, and tax identification where applicable.
- You agree to fulfill all orders placed through the Platform in a timely and professional manner.
- You acknowledge that Dukancard may collect and process payments on your behalf through our payment partners, and that platform commissions and settlement terms apply as described in our separate merchant agreement or pricing schedule.
- You may be required to complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process before accessing certain features or tiers on the Platform.
6. Orders & Payments
When you place an order through the Platform:
- The order constitutes an offer to purchase from the merchant. The merchant may accept or decline the order.
- Payments are processed through our payment-service providers (e.g., Razorpay in India). By using the Platform, you agree to the payment-provider terms as well.
- Funds may be held in an escrow-like workflow until the order is fulfilled and verified (e.g., via QR-code scan at pickup).
- Refunds, cancellations, and disputes are subject to the merchant's policies and applicable consumer-protection laws.
- All prices are displayed in the local currency of the country you are browsing (e.g., INR for India).
7. Delivery & Riders
If you use the Platform as a delivery rider:
- You agree to follow all applicable traffic, safety, and local laws while performing deliveries.
- You are responsible for maintaining any vehicle, license, or insurance required for delivery work.
- Dukancard acts as a facilitator connecting riders with delivery assignments and does not act as an employer.
9. Intellectual Property
The Platform and its original content, features, branding, and technology (excluding user-generated content and merchant listings) are owned by Dukancard and its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Platform without our express written consent.

Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual-property rights, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will continue in effect.
