V. PAID SERVICES
We may charge a fee to post content in or utilize certain areas of the Utility
Mart Service (“Paid Services”). By posting Paid Services on the Website, you
enter into an agreement with Utility Mart, and the terms set out herein shall
apply. The provisions related to content, including intellectual property rights,
shall also apply to Paid Services. You continue to be bound by these Terms of
Use in connection with your use of the Platform and the Services.
Currently, for Paid Services, we offer the following features. Please note that
only some of these features may be made available to you depending on your
usage, category, geographical location, and medium of purchase. The terms
governing Paid Services and the relationship between you and Utility Mart will
be governed by the laws of India.
A. Featured Ads
Featured Ads is a feature that allows your advertisement to be displayed in a
designated area of the Website and/or in a highlighted manner (depending on
the platform) to distinguish it from other content posted on the Website.
Featured Ads are listed sequentially, meaning that the visibility of a particular
Featured Ad may vary each time you browse the site. This feature aims to
draw attention to your advertisement and increase the likelihood of receiving
responses from potential buyers. However, we do not guarantee a specified
increase in responses. The duration for which your ad will be displayed as a
Featured Ad will be based on the number of days specified at the time of
purchasing the feature or 30 days from the original date of posting the content
on the Website, whichever is earlier.
There is no limit on the number of Featured Ads you can post, and you can
purchase a single Featured Ad or a bulk package (“Featured Ads package”),
which may be offered at a discounted price. Utility Mart reserves the right to
limit the extent and manner in which Featured Ads may be edited by you.
B. Boost to Top
Boost to Top is a feature that bumps your advertisement to the top of the
listing space in the city-specific category in which it was posted. Your ad will
remain in that spot until new advertisements are posted in that category, at
which point it will move down accordingly. This feature is designed to draw
attention to your advertisement and increase the likelihood of receiving
responses. However, we do not guarantee a specified increase in responses.
Boost to Top can be availed for an already posted ad, but it does not extend
the validity of the ad, which remains 30 days from the posting date.
C. Auto Boost
Auto Boost is a feature similar to “Boost to Top,” but it automatically bumps
your ad to the top at defined intervals. The frequency of these intervals is
determined solely by Utility Mart, based on the category, usage, and
geographical location. This feature helps keep your advertisement visible
throughout its validity by automatically boosting it on a periodic basis. Like the
Boost to Top feature, we do not guarantee a specified increase in responses,
and Auto Boost does not extend the ad's validity.
D. Paid Ads
The Paid Ads feature allows you to post ads even after you have exhausted
the free limits in a category. Free limits define the number of advertisements
you can post for free in a given category during a specified period. For
example, if the free limit for a category is 3 ads per month, and you have
already posted 3, you will need to pay for any additional ads. You can
purchase individual Paid Ads or a bulk package (“Paid Ads package”) at a
discounted price.
Paid Ads Validity:
● Limited Paid Ads Package: You can post a limited number of ads during
the validity of the package. Each Paid Ad in this package will be valid
for 30 days from the date of posting.
● Unlimited Paid Ads Package: You can post unlimited ads during the
validity of this package. Ads posted during the package validity will only
remain valid for the duration of the package.
E. Payment for Paid Services
Upon selecting any feature of Paid Services, you may be redirected to a
third-party payment processing site such as PayU, which offers various
payment channels, including net banking, debit card, and credit card
(“Payment Gateway”). You agree that Paid Services will only be made
available upon receipt of payment confirmation from the Payment Gateway or
collection agencies.
You may provide your Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN)
on the platform, which is mandatory for passing on the credit of GST charged.
If you fail to provide your GSTIN, we will assume you are not registered with
GST authorities. Prices for Paid Services are inclusive of applicable taxes
unless otherwise mentioned.
F. Refunds/Cancellations
If you choose to delete or deactivate any Paid Services before the end of the
active period, we will not refund you for the unutilized time. If you are unable
to avail of Paid Services due to technical reasons, we will credit your account
with equivalent units of the paid feature for any ad units you were unable to
post. For example, if you purchase 3 Featured Ad units but can only use 2 due
to a technical glitch, you will be credited for the remaining unit.
Refunds will not be provided if your advertisement violates the Terms of Use, if
there is any abuse reported in relation to your advertisement, or if your
advertisement is deleted or not reposted due to technical reasons or editing
done by you.
VI. POSTING AGENTS
As used herein, the term "Posting Agent" refers to a third-party agent, service,
or intermediary that posts content to Utility Mart on behalf of others. Utility
Mart prohibits the use of Posting Agents, except with the express written
permission or license from the original owner of the listed items. If Posting
Agents are used without this permission, the Lister (Posting Agent) shall be
solely liable for any breach, infringement, claims, penalties, damages, etc.,
arising from such unauthorized use. Utility Mart will not be held liable and will
not be a party to such breaches in any form.

derivative use of the Service, nor the use of data mining, robots,

General-purpose internet search engines and non-commercial public archives
that gather information solely for displaying hyperlinks to the Service may
engage in the activities mentioned in (b), provided they comply with our
robots.txt file. However, a "general-purpose internet search engine" does not
include any site or service that specializes in classified listings, such as
housing, sales, jobs, or services.
You may display individual postings on your website or create a hyperlink
thereto only for non-commercial or news reporting purposes. If the total
number of postings exceeds the limits set by Utility Mart, such use may be
considered a violation of these Terms, unless explicitly authorized. You may
also create a hyperlink to the homepage of Utility Mart, as long as it does not
portray the platform or its affiliates in a misleading or derogatory manner.
