04
Shopping and Payments
Purchase and payment terms
Transactions

All purchases on Hushburg are processed through the Hushburg escrow system. Your payment is held securely and only released to the seller after you confirm delivery of your order.

  • By placing an order, you authorise Hushburg to charge your wallet or chosen payment method for the total amount including any applicable delivery fees.
  • All wallet top-up transactions are final and non-refundable once processed. Only top up what you intend to spend on the platform.
  • Do not confirm delivery until you have inspected your order and are satisfied. Delivery confirmation releases payment to the seller and closes the transaction.
  • If an order does not arrive or significantly differs from the listing, raise a dispute through in-app support before confirming delivery.
  • Hushburg is not responsible for failed payments due to incorrect account information provided by the user.
  • All prices on Hushburg are displayed in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) unless otherwise specified. Seller panel fees may also be listed in AED for international sellers.
05
Auctions
Live auction rules and obligations
Strictly enforced

Hushburg operates a Highest Unique Bid live auction system. Participating in auctions means you accept both these terms and the specific auction rules published at hushburg.com/bd/auctionsystem.

  • The seat booking fee is non-refundable in all circumstances. It covers your room entry and your 1st Call.
  • Call Security deposits from the 2nd Call onward are fully refundable to your Hushburg shopping wallet if your Call does not win, following human-verified audit.
  • Hushburg processes auction outcomes only after a verified audit of the closed room. Results are final once announced.
  • Attempting to collude with other participants, pre-arrange winning bids, or coordinate offers to manipulate auction outcomes is a serious violation subject to immediate account action and forfeiture of all deposits.
  • You agree to complete payment for any auction you win. Failure to complete payment after winning will result in the forfeiture of your Call Security and may result in account suspension.
  • HBT training auctions are for learning purposes only. Items won in HBT training auctions are claimed in person at Hushburg marketing booths and have no cash or resale value.
  • Hushburg auctions are not a form of gambling. There is no chance-based payout and no independent cash prize. The Highest Unique Bid format is a fixed-rule bidding competition.
06
HBT In-App Currency
Earning, spending, and limits
In-app currency

HBT (Hushburg Token) is an in-app currency earned through legitimate platform activity. It has no real-world monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash.

  • HBT can only be used for store discounts, HBT training auctions, and seller panel subscriptions. It has no other permitted uses.
  • HBT is earned through the daily tap game, daily tasks, and Interest List activity. It is not sold for real money.
  • Attempting to exploit, farm, or automate HBT accumulation using bots, scripts, emulators, multiple accounts, or any other unauthorised means is strictly prohibited.
  • HBT balances may be forfeited without refund if earned through cheating, exploitation, or policy violation as determined by Hushburg's audit process.
  • Hushburg reserves the right to adjust HBT balances, game mechanics, and earning rates at any time for platform health without compensation.

  • Sellers must fulfil all orders confirmed through the Hushburg platform. Persistent non-fulfilment will result in seller panel suspension or termination.
  • Seller panel fees are one-time payments with lifetime validity. Fees are not refundable once a panel is activated.
  • Products listed through auction panels must comply with the product value limits: Standard Panel up to ৳10,000, Premium Panel up to ৳3,000,000. Products above ৳3,000,000 require a custom listing approved by Hushburg.
  • Hushburg reserves the right to remove any listing that violates platform standards, misrepresents a product, or creates risk for buyers.
  • Sellers agree that all buyer payments pass through Hushburg Escrow and are not released until delivery is confirmed. Attempts to solicit payments outside the platform are a serious violation.
Off-Platform Payments Prohibited

Sellers must never ask buyers to pay outside the Hushburg platform. Any seller found soliciting direct bank transfers, bKash, or other off-platform payments will have their panel permanently revoked and the matter reported to relevant authorities.

08
Wallet and Withdrawals
Wallet rules and withdrawal policy
Financial

The Hushburg wallet is a shopping wallet, not a financial account or savings instrument. You agree to use it only for in-platform transactions.

  • Referral rewards are paid only for genuine new users who sign up through your link and meet the activity criteria.
  • Creating fake accounts, using fake identities, or referring yourself through alternative accounts to earn referral bonuses is strictly prohibited.

You may submit content to Hushburg including product reviews, comments, and images. By doing so, you grant Hushburg a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, display, and distribute that content within the platform.

  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of any content you submit.
  • Content must not contain offensive, defamatory, misleading, or illegal material.
  • You must not submit content that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights, including images, text, or trademarks you do not own.

Good Faith Use

If you believe you have encountered a bug or unintended system behaviour that gave you an advantage, report it immediately to [email protected] before using it. Good-faith reporting protects you. Exploiting it — even once — does not.
