Welcome to the Afghan Trade Center ("ATC", "we", "our" or "us"). These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Afghan Trade Center website, including its business directory, business listings, search features, registration facilities, articles and other services made available through the website.
Afghan Trade Center provides an online platform designed to help users discover businesses, find products and services, connect with potential customers, and explore business opportunities within the UK and other markets.
By accessing or using our website, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue using the website.
In these terms, "you" and "your" refer to any individual, business owner, representative or organisation accessing or using our website.
Afghan Trade Center provides an online business directory and discovery platform intended to improve the visibility of businesses and make relevant business information easier to find.
Our website may allow users to:
The availability of particular features may change over time. Some services may be subject to additional terms, eligibility requirements or fees where these are clearly communicated to users.
Afghan Trade Center is a platform for business discovery. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not a party to agreements, negotiations, purchases or other transactions entered into between users and listed businesses.
You may use our website for lawful personal, professional or business purposes. If you create an account or submit information on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to do so.
You agree to use the website responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and these Terms and Conditions.
You must not:
We may investigate suspected misuse and take reasonable action where necessary, including removing content, restricting access or suspending an account.
Certain website features may require you to register an account.
When registering, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete and up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for taking reasonable steps to protect your account.
You should notify us promptly if you suspect that your account has been accessed without your permission or that your login details have been compromised.
You must not knowingly share account access in a way that compromises security or use another person’s account without authorisation.
We may restrict, suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe that an account has been used fraudulently, unlawfully or in breach of these terms.
Businesses may be able to submit company details, descriptions, contact information, locations, photographs, logos and other materials for publication on Afghan Trade Center.
By submitting information, you confirm that:
You remain responsible for the information you provide and for ensuring that your business listing complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Afghan Trade Center may review, edit for formatting, reject, restrict or remove listings where reasonably necessary, including where information appears inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, unlawful or inconsistent with our platform requirements.
Submitting a listing does not guarantee publication, continued visibility, a particular search position or any specific level of customer engagement.
Business listings may be subject to review before publication or during their time on the website.
Where a verification badge or similar indicator is provided, its meaning depends on the checks actually performed by Afghan Trade Center. Unless we expressly state otherwise, such an indicator should not be treated as a guarantee of a business’s financial position, product quality, legal compliance, reliability or future conduct.
Users should carry out their own checks before relying on a listing or entering into a commercial relationship.
We do not guarantee that every business listed on the website has been independently verified or that all listing information is complete, current or error-free.
The availability and pricing of business listings, promotional placements or other services may be described on the website or communicated directly to customers.
Where a paid service is offered, its applicable price, duration, scope, renewal arrangements and other material conditions should be communicated before the purchase is completed.
Any additional terms agreed for a particular paid service will apply alongside these Terms and Conditions. If there is a conflict, the specific terms for that service will take precedence to the extent of the conflict.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, payment for a listing or promotional service does not guarantee sales, enquiries, search rankings, customer visits or business growth.
Any applicable cancellation, refund and renewal conditions will be communicated as part of the relevant service or purchase terms.
Afghan Trade Center may help users discover businesses and obtain publicly displayed contact information. However, a listing or introduction does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of the relevant business.
Unless a particular service expressly states otherwise, we do not:
Users are responsible for independently assessing businesses, checking relevant credentials, agreeing contractual terms and determining whether a proposed transaction meets their requirements.
Before making payments, placing orders or sharing sensitive commercial information, you should undertake appropriate due diligence and use suitable contractual and payment safeguards.
Any agreement entered into directly with another business is between the relevant parties. Disputes arising from such agreements should generally be addressed between those parties, without prejudice to any rights you may have under applicable law.
Unless otherwise indicated, the website’s design, layout, branding, original text, graphics and other materials created for Afghan Trade Center are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may access and use website content for lawful personal or internal business purposes. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, commercially exploit or modify protected content without the necessary permission, except where permitted by law.

You may request the removal of content you are authorised to manage, subject to applicable legal obligations, legitimate operational requirements and any relevant contractual terms.

We do not control the content, availability, privacy practices or terms of third-party websites. Your use of those websites is subject to their own terms and policies.

If you use our website as a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection legislation.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses and reasonable costs directly arising from your unlawful use of the website, your infringement of third-party rights or your material breach of these terms.

We may update these Terms and Conditions to reflect changes to the website, our services, operational requirements or applicable law.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
