2. Acceptance of Terms

Accessing and using the platform implies express, voluntary, and informed acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy, which are mandatory and binding. Anyone who does not accept them must refrain from using the platform.

By creating a user account or making any transaction through 4U App, the user declares having read and accepted all of these provisions.

3. Legal Nature and Service Description

4U App is an intermediary technology platform that connects Consumers with Agents for the management of product and service orders. The Operator does not sell, produce, distribute, or directly commercialize any product exhibited on the platform.

The main contractual relationship is established directly between the Consumer and the Agent, through a remunerated mandate contract concluded by electronic means, in accordance with Law 527 of 1999.

Applicable Colombian legislation includes, among others: Law 527 of 1999 (electronic commerce), Law 1480 of 2011 (Consumer Statute), Law 1581 of 2012 (personal data protection), and Decree 1377 of 2013.

4. Definitions

Consumer: Adult natural person who, as an end recipient, uses the platform to request order management through mandate, including Insiders (consumers with a membership).

Agent: Natural person who manages the order requested by the Consumer through the platform.

Operator: Party responsible for the operational and functional management of the platform (4U App).

Platform: Website and mobile application managed by the Operator.

Remunerated mandate: Contract by which the Consumer instructs the Agent to manage an order in exchange for remuneration, with the Agent acting on behalf of and at the risk of the Consumer.

Payment gateway: Technology service that enables electronic payments (e.g., PAYU, Stripe).

Personal data: Any information that allows identification or makes a natural person identifiable.

Cookies: Text strings stored to consult user activity and preferences.

5. Legal Capacity and Users

Use of the platform is reserved exclusively for natural persons over 18 years of age with full legal capacity to enter into contracts in accordance with the Colombian Civil Code.

Minors may not register or use the platform. Any actions they take will be the responsibility of their parents, guardians, or legal representatives. Anyone who registers an account expressly declares they are of legal age.

Anyone registering an account on behalf of a company must have sufficient authority to legally bind it.

Note for Google Play and App Store: 4U App is not directed at persons under 18 years of age. If a minor's registration is detected, the account will be immediately suspended.

6. User Account

To use the platform, it is necessary to create a personal account by providing: full name, date of birth, phone number, delivery address, email address, and identity document. 4U App reserves the right to request copies of documents necessary for identity validation.

Account use is personal and non-transferable. The Consumer may not transfer their access credentials to third parties. Non-compliance will result in suspension or permanent blocking of the account.

In the event of forgotten or compromised credentials, the Consumer must use the "Forgot your password?" option or write to soporte@4u.social.

The Operator will not request debit or credit card data outside of the enabled electronic payment process.

By creating an account, the Consumer expressly accepts the Operator's use of cookies.

7. Identity Verification and Documents

To prevent fraud and ensure security, 4U App may request additional identity verification in specific cases. This may include uploading a photograph of an identity document (national ID, foreign ID, or passport).

Identity document images are stored on secure servers under encryption and standards equivalent to those required by Colombian law. Their purpose is exclusively identity verification and fraud prevention. They will be deleted within 12 months following account deactivation, unless there is a legal obligation to retain them.

The Consumer may request the deletion of these images at any time by writing to datos@4u.social.

This processing complies with Law 1581 of 2012 and Decree 1377 of 2013. Images will not be shared with third parties except as legally required or for the verification process with identity service providers contracted under equivalent confidentiality standards.

8. Service Description and Order Process

The Operator displays consumer products or services on the platform (cosmetics, fashion, food, beverages, personal hygiene, electronic gadgets, among others) as a reference so the Consumer can request their management from the Agent.

The order process consists of the following steps:

  1. Log in to the platform and provide the delivery address.
  2. Select the product or service and verify its characteristics.
  3. Add to cart, which constitutes an unequivocal expression of intent to request order management.
  4. View the total amount (includes mandate remuneration and the amount to be reimbursed to the Agent).
  5. Select payment method and confirm the order.
  6. Receive transaction summary and Agent details by email.

The mandate contract is perfected when the Agent delivers the product(s) or renders the service(s) to the Consumer in the specified conditions.

9. Prices and Additional Charges

Prices displayed on the platform may differ from prices in physical stores. 4U App reserves the right to increase prices by up to fifteen percent (15%) compared to the price at the partner's physical point of sale, as consideration for the use of the technology platform, logistics, and delivery service.

By confirming the order, the Consumer expressly acknowledges and accepts this condition, with no possibility of claiming against 4U App for additional charges applied.

This additional charge will always be clearly disclosed to the Consumer before order confirmation, in accordance with Article 23 of Law 1480 of 2011 (duty of disclosure).

10. Payment Methods

The Consumer may pay the Agent using the methods available at the time of purchase, which may include:

  1. Cash on delivery.
  2. Electronic transfer.
  3. Electronic payment via the gateway enabled on the platform (e.g., PAYU or Stripe).

Payment gateways may charge an additional percentage for their services, which will be disclosed before confirming payment. 4U App does not store debit or credit card data; processing is carried out directly by the payment gateway.

In the case of cash payment without exact change, the remaining amount may be credited as a balance in the user's account, according to the current operating model.

11. Cancellations and Refunds

The Consumer may cancel the order only before the Agent has begun managing it. Once in process or delivery, cancellations will not be accepted.

In the event of a valid cancellation or unavailable product, the refund will be made via the same payment method used within up to ten (10) business days, or by crediting the balance to the user's account (platform wallet), as applicable.

12. Restricted-Use Products

Products such as tobacco, alcoholic beverages, or other items subject to restrictions under Colombian law may only be requested by Consumers over 18 years of age, who must expressly confirm this when selecting such products.

The Agent will not deliver these products if there are reasonable doubts about the Consumer's legal age, or if the Consumer cannot present the required identification at the time of delivery. In that case, the Consumer must follow the established refund procedure.

When restricted products are ordered alongside regular products, the consequences of non-compliance will apply exclusively to the restricted products.

13. Warranties, Claims, and Right of Withdrawal

Since the purchase relationship is established directly between the Agent and the merchants (on behalf of the Consumer), warranty claims for products must be submitted to the Agent, who is responsible for managing the order.

Right of withdrawal: In accordance with Article 47 of Law 1480 of 2011, the right of withdrawal does not apply to perishable or immediately consumable products, nor to services rendered by Agents. For non-perishable products (e.g., clothing, gadgets, unopened cosmetics), the Consumer may exercise the right of withdrawal within five (5) business days following delivery, provided the product has not been used and retains its original packaging.

To exercise withdrawal, the Consumer must notify the Agent through the platform chat or by writing to soporte@4u.social.

14. Operator Liability

4U App acts exclusively as an intermediary technology platform. The Operator is not a seller, producer, distributor, or guarantor of the products displayed.
