Code of Conduct

Last updated 11th July 2026

Our Commitment

Bidrit was founded on one principle: Trust is our product.

Every seller on Bidrit represents not only their business but also the reputation of the Bidrit platform. Buyers choose Bidrit because they believe the platform is committed to honesty, transparency, and accountability.

This Code of Conduct defines the standards every seller must follow to remain part of the Bidrit network.

Failure to cooperate may result in suspension.

8. Customer Complaints

Sellers are expected to engage constructively in resolving customer concerns. Bidrit reserves the right to investigate complaints and request supporting evidence from both parties before making a determination.

9. Trust Comes Before Sales

Bidrit values long-term trust over short-term transactions. Sellers understand that protecting buyers protects the entire marketplace and strengthens confidence in every verified seller.

10. Enforcement

  • Issue a warning.
  • Remove listings.
  • Reduce the seller’s Trust Index.
  • Suspend account privileges.
