Trust & Safety at
G-Class Global Resources Limited
At G-Class Global Resources Limited, we recognize that trust and safety form
the bedrock of every successful transaction on our B2B multi-vendor
marketplace. Our dedication to robust security measures, transparent policies,
and responsive support ensures that buyers and vendors engage with confidence
when using our RFQ (Request for Quote) platform at www.g-class.com.ng/rfq.
1. Definitions and Core Principles
G-Class operates a Request for Quote system where buyers submit detailed RFQs
and vendors respond with customized pricing and terms.
RFQ (Request for Quote):
A formal buyer request for product specifications, quantity, delivery
timelines, and customization needs.
Buyer:
Any registered user initiating an RFQ to obtain pricing or product
information.
Vendor/Seller:
Any registered merchant responding to RFQs with transparent quotes and/ or Platform.
The G-Class Global Resources Limited e-commerce multi-vendor marketplace.
Our Trust & Safety program rests on four core principles: accountability,
transparency, protection, and continuous improvement.
2.User Verification & Account Security
All participants complete a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process during registration.
Buyers submit government-issued IDs or corporate documents, and vendors provide
business licenses or registration certificates. High-risk or dormant accounts
undergo periodic re-verification to uphold authenticity.
We enforce two-factor authentication (2FA) for all logins and critical account
changes.
This extra security layer prevents unauthorized access and protects both user
data and platform integrity. Identity verification, verification, and 2FA are
essential strategies to combat fraud and preserve user trust on online
marketplaces.
Strong password policies, session timeouts, and device recognition alerts
further safeguard accounts against takeover attempts.
3. RFQ Terms & Conditions
G-Class’s RFQ Terms & Conditions define clear obligations for buyers and
vendors to maintain fairness and accuracy.
Buyers must supply complete and accurate RFQ details, including product
specifications, quantity, delivery location, and any customization
requirements.
Vendors must respond with transparent quotes, specifying unit prices, shipping
fees, applicable taxes, delivery timelines, and validity periods.
Submitting spam, unrealistic requests, or misusing the RFQ feature may result
in account suspension.
Acceptance of a vendor quote constitutes a binding agreement under G-Class’s
purchase policies. Maintaining accurate RFQ information ensures smooth
transactions and fosters trust across all parties.
4.Vendor Obligations & Prohibited
Goods
Vendors agree to uphold product quality, adhere to agreed delivery schedules,
and maintain fair pricing practices. All listings undergo automated and manual
review to ensure compliance with our Prohibited Goods policy. Any item deemed
unsafe, illegal, or in violation of G-Class guidelines is removed immediately,
and repeat offenses lead to account termination.
Our Vendor Guidelines are published in full on the RFQ portal, making
expectations clear and accessible to every seller.
5. Fraud Prevention & Monitoring
G-Class employs automated risk detection systems that continuously analyse
transaction patterns for anomalies such as high-value RFQs from a single
account or suspicious quote behaviour.
Link analysis and activity monitoring flag potential phishing or scam attempts
for immediate review.
Our dedicated Trust & Safety team manually investigates flagged accounts
and communications. Suspicious listings and interactions are suspended pending
resolution, and confirmed offenders are permanently banned. This dual
approach—automation augmented by human oversight—ensures proactive fraud
prevention.
6. Secure Payments & Financial
Protections
To minimize counterparty risk, we operate an escrow system. Once a buyer
accepts a quote, funds are held securely until delivery confirmation. Vendors
receive payment only after buyers verify receipt and satisfaction.
We integrate PCI-DSS-compliant payment gateways, encrypt all transaction data
with SSL/TLS, and partner with reputable financial processors. Clear refund and
chargeback procedures are defined in our Return & Refund Policy, allowing
buyers to request reimbursement for non-delivery or misrepresentation.
7. Safe Communication Channels
All buyer–vendor interactions occur within our encrypted in-platform messaging
system. This protects sensitive business information and allows us to monitor
for harassment, spam, or unauthorized sharing of personal contact details.
Sharing external links, emails, or phone numbers is prohibited until after a
transaction is closed and documented.
8. Global Compliance & Documentation
International vendors must comply with the import/export regulations, tax laws,
and customs requirements of the buyer’s region. Quotes must detail applicable
duties, conversion rates, and any required shipping documentation (e.g.,
invoices, customs forms).
Currency selection and tax transparency features on our RFQ portal ensure no
hidden fees for buyers.
9.Dispute Resolution & Support
G-Class provides a tiered support system via ticketing for issues such as late
shipments, product defects, or payment disputes. Neutral mediators review
evidence, facilitate vendor–buyer negotiations, and issue binding resolutions
within defined service-level agreements.
Our Legal & Compliance team serves as the final arbiter for escalated
cases, ensuring impartial decisions based on documented policies.
10. Continuous Improvement &
Transparency
We publish quarterly Trust & Safety reports that summarize key metrics—user
verification rates, fraud attempts intercepted, average resolution time, and
policy updates. User feedback channels are open at every stage to refine our
security protocols and enhance platform usability.
Proactive transparency about our processes and outcomes builds greater
confidence among all stakeholders.
