      1. C. TerreLocal Accounts

    Your TerreLocal account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users, including Users who sell or make available for sale Products through the App (“Sellers) and Users who purchase Products from Sellers (“Buyers”). If you open a TerreLocal account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to TerreLocal with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.

    You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. You must notify TerreLocal immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. TerreLocal will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

    You may control your User profile and how you interact with the Site by changing the settings in your “My Profile” page. By providing TerreLocal your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Site-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Site and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out or change your preferences in your “My Profile” page. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.

    There may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, TerreLocal cannot and does not confirm each User's purported identity. We encourage you to use the various tools available on the Site, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.

     

      1. D.Fees and Payment
    1. Sellers. When you make a sale through the App, the Buyer will be charged a transaction fee of 13% of the price you display for each listing of the Product (“Listing”). The amount you charge for shipping is not included in calculating the transaction fee. The Transaction Fee is charged only at the time of each sale and it is required to cover our costs of operation. Transaction fees are added to the current balance as each sale occurs. Note that we use third-party payment processing systems (PayPal and Stripe) for added security and payment options to buyers. These services may charge their own fees. They may also charge fees if the funds are transferred from TerreLocal to your bank account directly through these providers. We are not responsible for any additional fees charged by these third parties. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of PayPal or Stripe will be in effect when using these services.

    Sellers are not allowed to avoid or bypass the transaction fee charged by TerreLocal. Any effort by the seller either to sell their listed product outside of TerreLocal site, to complete a TerreLocal site transaction outside of TerreLocal, misrepresent themselves or the product in the product listing, or alter the listing price or product description after the sale, will constitute a breach of this Agreement. 

    Changing the product listing price after a sale is strictly prohibited. A seller may change the listing price a few times (reasonably) to facilitate its sale prior to initiation of sale by a buyer. However, if the seller changes the listing price or product description multiple times prior to sale, it will be investigated further by TerreLocal for potential seller misrepresentation.    

     Payment to Sellers will be sent within 3-14 business days (depending upon when the funds are released by PayPal and Stripe) after the sale is considered final. TerreLocal has a 48-hour product return policy (from when the product was received by the Buyer). All sales are considered final after 48 hours of Buyer receiving the product. Seller payments will be made after that time if the funds from the sale are available from PayPal and Stripe.

     

    1. Buyers. You as the Buyer will be charged a transaction fee of 13% of the price listed by the Seller for the Product (“Listing”). The amount you pay for shipping or delivery is not included in calculating the transaction fee. The Transaction Fee is charged only at the time of each sale and it is required to cover our costs of operation. Transaction fees are added to your current balance as each sale occurs. 

    By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you as the Buyer represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, an “Order”). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Order. If you want to change or update your payment method information, you can do so at any time by logging into your account with our third-party payment processor. If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your payment method information or Order, or account, as applicable, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and, with respect to your Order, authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated.

     

    To the extent that TerreLocal collects payment from you for transmission to Sellers, it does so on behalf of Sellers as Seller’s limited payment collection agent.  Accordingly, payment to TerreLocal shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to Seller.  Upon your delivery of funds to TerreLocal, your payment obligation to Seller is extinguished, and TerreLocal is responsible for remitting the received funds to Seller. If TerreLocal fails to remit any such amounts it receives from you to Seller, Seller will have recourse only against TerreLocal and not you.

     

    All prices on our Site and Services are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. The Seller reserves the right to adjust prices as it may determine in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice, including without limitation, as based on geographic or other criteria as the Seller may establish from time to time. 

     

    All of the Products are subject to availability, and the Seller reserves the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain Products and to substitute Products without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality Products and given the perishable nature of certain Products and market conditions beyond our control, the Seller may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact the Seller at the contact information provided by such Seller.

     

    We will collect applicable sales, use and other tax (collectively, "Tax") on Products shipped to jurisdictions for which we determine we have a duty to collect Tax applicable to your purchase. If a Product is subject to Tax, you agree that the amount of Tax shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in applicable Tax rates.

     

    1. General.  TerreLocal reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back to your User Account any amounts otherwise due to us under this Agreement,  or amounts due to any breach of this Agreement by you, pending TerreLocal’s reasonable investigation of such breach. TerreLocal also reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back to your User Account any amounts subject to dispute, such as in the case of credit card charge backs, pending successful resolution of the dispute. To ensure proper payment, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with your User Account, which includes without limitation applicable tax information. If we believe that we are obligated to obtain tax information and you do not provide this information to us after we have requested it, we may withhold your payments until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person or entity from whom we are required to obtain tax information. Any third-party fees related to returned or cancelled payments due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your participation in the Site and Services. If you dispute any payment made hereunder, you must notify TerreLocal in writing within thirty (30) days of such payment or from when you purport such payment would have been due, whichever is earlier. Failure to so notify TerreLocal shall result in the waiver by you of any claim relating to such disputed payment. Payment shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by TerreLocal. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by TerreLocal or have any effect under this Agreement, and you shall have no audit rights hereunder. We may withhold any taxes or other amounts from payments due to you as required by law.

     

    You acknowledges that you fully assume the risks of purchase and sale transactions when using the Site and Services to conduct transactions, and assume the risks of liability or harm of any kind in connection with subsequent activity of any kind relating to Products or Services that are the subject of transactions using the Site and Services. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to, misrepresentation of Products and Services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, unlawful products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost miscalculations, breach of warranty, breach of contract and transportation accidents. Such risks also include the risks that the manufacture, importation, distribution, offer, display, purchase, sale and/or use of Products or Services offered or displayed on the Site may violate or may be asserted to violate a third party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secret rights, patents and other personal or proprietary rights affecting or relating to material or information displayed on the Site and Services, including but not limited to rights of personality and rights of privacy, or affecting or relating to products that are offered or displayed on the Site (“Third Party Rights”), and the risk that you may incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties' assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to assertions of rights, demands or claims by Third Party Rights claimants. Such risks also include the risks that consumers, other purchasers, end-users of products or others claiming to have suffered injuries or harms relating to product originally obtained by Users of the Site as a result of purchase and sale transactions in connection with using the Site may suffer harms and/or assert claims arising from their use of such products (collectively, the “Transaction Risks”). You agree that TerreLocal shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.

    You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the Site and Services, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and storage.

     

      1. A. Returns and Refunds

    If you are dissatisfied with any item ordered through a Seller on our App (a “Product”) for any reason, please contact the Seller directly at the contact information provided by the Seller within 48 hours of the date you received the Product. Depending on the circumstances, Seller may, in its sole discretion, replace the Product, provided the Seller from which you purchase the Product has such Product available or provide you a full or partial refund of the purchase price for that Product. Shipping returns and all related costs and method of return shall be determined by Seller, in its sole discretion. The Seller may require the return or photographic documentation of any Product that you are dissatisfied with before the Seller provides you a refund or replacement.

    1. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
      1. A. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Site shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Site shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Francisco County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

     

      1. B. Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from TerreLocal. For any dispute with TerreLocal, you agree to first contact us at info@terrelocal.org and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that TerreLocal has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and TerreLocal agree otherwise. If you are using the Site for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Site for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing TerreLocal from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
      2. C. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the site for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and TerreLocal are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind. 
    1. General
      1. A. Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by TerreLocal without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
      2. B. Notification Procedures and Changes to the Agreement. TerreLocal may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by TerreLocal in our sole discretion. TerreLocal reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement. TerreLocal is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. TerreLocal may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the ‘last modified’ date at the top of this page and notify you that material changes have been made to the Agreement. Your continued use of the Site after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Site.
      3. C. Entire Agreement/Severability. This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with TerreLocal in connection with the Site, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and TerreLocal concerning the Site. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, [except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable].
      4. D. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and TerreLocal’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
      5. E. California Residents. The provider of services is set forth herein. If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Sites of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
