Privacy Policy
How Cater Bazar handles marketplace operations, caterer verification, customer inquiries, payments, cancellations, reviews, complaints, and personal data.
Cater Bazar is committed to providing a transparent and reliable online marketplace where customers can discover and connect with catering service providers.
This Policies page explains how Cater Bazar handles marketplace operations, caterer verification, customer inquiries, payments, cancellations, reviews, complaints, and related matters.
Marketplace Policy
Cater Bazar operates as an online catering marketplace.
Our role is to help customers discover, compare, and connect with catering service providers.
Cater Bazar does not directly provide catering services unless specifically stated for a particular service.
The selected Caterer is responsible for delivering the catering service according to the terms agreed with the customer.
Caterer Verification Policy
Cater Bazar may verify Caterers before listing or displaying them on the platform.
Depending on the Caterer’s business and available documentation, verification may include reviewing information such as:
- Business identity
- Contact information
- Business location
- Service information
- Supporting documents
- Food/business-related licenses or registrations where applicable
- Menu and service details
- Other information reasonably required by Cater Bazar
Verification status may be subject to periodic review.
A verification badge means that the Caterer has completed the applicable Cater Bazar verification process. It does not guarantee future service quality, availability, pricing, food quality, or performance.
Customer Review & Rating Policy
Cater Bazar encourages genuine customer feedback.
Customers may submit reviews and ratings based on their actual experience with a Caterer.
Reviews must not contain:
- Fake or fabricated experiences
- False information
- Personal attacks
- Threats
- Hate speech
- Private or confidential information
- Promotional spam
- Content intended to manipulate ratings
Cater Bazar may review, moderate, edit where appropriate, restrict, or remove content that violates applicable law or our policies.
Customer Payment Policy
Cater Bazar currently does not directly collect customer payments for catering services unless specifically stated for a particular transaction.
Customers generally make payment directly to the selected Caterer according to the agreed payment terms.
Customers should confirm:
- Total price
- Advance amount
- Balance amount
- Payment method
- Cancellation charges
- Refund conditions
- Additional charges
- Applicable taxes or fees
Customers should retain proof of payment.
Cater Bazar will not ask customers to transfer money to an individual unless the payment arrangement is expressly identified as an official Cater Bazar transaction.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
Catering cancellation and refund conditions may vary depending on the Caterer and the specific booking.
Before confirming a booking, customers should obtain clear information regarding:
- Cancellation deadlines
- Advance payment
- Cancellation charges
- Refund eligibility
- Refund processing time
- Changes to guest count
- Changes to event date
- Additional service charges
Where the customer has paid the Caterer directly, refund requests are generally handled according to the agreement between the customer and Caterer.
Cater Bazar may assist in communication or dispute resolution where reasonably possible, but does not automatically guarantee refunds for payments made directly to Caterers.
Catering Service Quality Policy
Cater Bazar aims to connect customers with professional catering service providers.
Caterers are responsible for delivering their services according to the agreed menu, quotation, service scope, event requirements, and applicable laws.
Customers should confirm all important details with the Caterer before the event, including:

- Delivery

- Total price
Food Safety & Allergy Policy
Caterers are responsible for complying with applicable food safety, hygiene, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
Customers must inform Caterers about food allergies, dietary restrictions, and special requirements before booking.
Because Cater Bazar does not prepare or directly handle the food supplied by independent Caterers, customers should obtain appropriate information and confirmation directly from the Caterer.

Please provide:
