By listing products on House of Aroma, every Supplier grants Resellers broad rights to remarket and (where permitted) rebrand those products and acknowledges the Platform’s role as a technology aggregator only.
If you do not agree, do not list products or use the Platform.

Upload Click-Wrap: During each product upload, the Supplier must tick “I agree to the Rebranding, Remarketing & Pricing License”. Uploading = binding acceptance.

1. Definitions

• Supplier: Any individual or entity uploading and listing products on House of Aroma.

• Reseller: A user who lists, markets, or sells Supplier-listed products to end customers via the Platform or connected channels.

• Rebrand: Modifying product presentation, packaging (where permitted), marketing copy, or storefront branding so the product is sold under the Reseller’s trade name or identity.

• Remarket: Promoting, advertising, and selling a product through any legal sales channel (Shopify, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.).

• Licensed Content: Product images, descriptions, trademarks, logos, and creative assets uploaded by the Supplier.

2. Grant of License by Supplier

By listing a product, the Supplier irrevocably grants to House of Aroma and all Resellers a non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to:

1. Display, copy, and distribute Licensed Content to market, sell, and fulfill orders.

2. Translate, adapt, modify, or reformat Licensed Content for marketing (i.e., rebrand and remarket).

3. Create derivative creatives, product bundles, and alternate listings using the Licensed Content.

4. Set resale prices freely, unless restricted by law or disclosed MRP/MAP terms.

This license continues while the listing is live and survives for active orders in process.

3. Scope & Limits

• Non-exclusive: Supplier retains ownership and may sell elsewhere.

• No trademark transfer: Supplier branding remains Supplier property unless separately licensed.

• Physical alteration: Resellers may not alter the product formula or packaging unless authorized and legally compliant.

• White/private label: Allowed for marketing purposes only—not ownership transfer.

The Supplier confirms:

1. Full ownership or rights to license all uploaded materials.

3. Correct and visible Legal Metrology labeling: MRP, batch, manufacture/importer details.

4. Substantiated marketing and performance claims.

7. Respect “Not for Rebrand” flags.

Each product listing must display one of:

• Full Rebrand Allowed
