Pledge and Vendor District Relationship

Pledge is a subsidiary brand of Vendor District, a company duly registered and incorporated under the laws of Shams Media City, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

All contracts, invoices, payments, and legal responsibilities related to the services rendered by Pledge are processed under the legal name of Vendor District LLC. This ensures that all parties are protected under a single legal entity and that all engagements remain compliant with UAE law.
