We reserve the right to change the Terms of Use and other guidelines or rules posted on the Site from time to time at our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Site, or any Materials or Services accessible through it, after such notice has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes. Your use of the Site will be subject to the most current version of the Terms of Use, rules and guidelines posted on the Site at the time of such use. You should periodically check these Terms of Use to view the then current terms. If you breach any of the Terms of Use, your authorization to use this Site automatically terminates.
We further reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Materials and/or Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of our Materials and/or Services (or any part thereof).
You agree to comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of the Site, your listing, purchase, solicitation of offers to purchase, and sale of items through PinkLion.
2. DEFINED TERMS
All user-supplied content, information, materials, files, communications, documents, text and images, including any user reviews you provide through the Site or any of our applications, are referred to collectively as “User Content.” User Content includes content that is submitted or communicated through any live chat features on the Site. “Our Content” or “PinkLion Content” means all materials provided by us. The terms and conditions expressed in this agreement apply to all users and visitors of this Site, and we may refer to all Site users as “you” or “your/s” in this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, a “Seller” is a user who has created a PinkLion “shop” by registering for a seller Account on the Site. A “Buyer” is a user purchasing goods from a Seller through the Site.
3. THE PINKLION MARKETPLACE
General:
PinkLion is an Online marketplace, or platform, which allows users to offer, sell and buy certain goods through the Site. Sellers shall abide by rules posted on the Site regarding the types of items that may be sold through the Site. Sellers may create virtual shops, provide pictures and descriptions of the goods available for sale and interact with prospective Buyers in real time and otherwise. Buyers may browse PinkLion for particular Seller shops or may search for particular items using our search functions. While PinkLion facilitates purchase transactions the the Site, PinkLion is not directly involved in the transaction between Buyers and Sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of any aspect of the items listed, the truth or accuracy of the product descriptions, the credibility of Sellers or the credibility of Buyers. The terms of sale and any shipping conditions are provided by the Sellers or are otherwise negotiated and agreed to between the Seller and Buyer. Buyers are encouraged to carefully review all Seller terms (including shipping terms) which may be posted on Seller shops. Without limiting the other provisions in this Agreement, by utilizing the PinkLion marketplace you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your interaction with other PinkLion users and that PinkLion will not be held liable for any dispute, loss or injury you suffer as a result of your use of the Site, your interaction with another user or your purchase or sale of any products through the Site.
All transactions are made solely between Sellers and Buyers; PinkLion does not take ownership of or transfer any Seller products. Instead, PinkLion merely facilitates the transactions and takes a small facilitation fee from the purchase price. Unless otherwise stated, all transactions and prices listed are in United States Dollars.
Sellers:
Sellers must outline their shop policies for their PinkLion shop. These policies should include, for example, shipping and return policies. Sellers must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. Sellers are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable shop policies. PinkLion reserves the right to request that a seller modify a shop policy. When you make a sale on PinkLion, you (the Seller) will be charged a transaction fee, which will be a percentage of the Transaction Total. The “Transaction Total” includes the price of the item (customized & non-customized) and shipping costs, but not sales tax collected by the Seller (if any). If multiple items are sold in one transaction, the PinkLion fee will be a percentage of the Transaction Total for all the items combined. By way of example, if the buyer is to pay seller $57.00 for the cost of the purchased item and shipping costs, the PinkLion fee would be a percentage of the total amount paid by the Buyer to the Seller for the item and shipping, less sales tax collected by the Seller (if any). The applicable transaction fee will be posted on the Site, and by listing products for sale the Seller acknowledges that it is aware of the applicable transaction fee. If Seller has any questions about the applicable rate, the Seller agrees to contact us at Contact@PinkLion.com so that we may address questions you may have about the PinkLion transaction fee. Please note that PinkLion reserves the right to change the applicable transaction fee from time to time. PinkLion may offer advertising opportunities to increase the visibility of your items and shop, which fees will be clearly outlined before you commit to such an offer.
Sellers shipping items to Buyers must obtain tracking information and provide the information to Buyers to enable Buyers to track shipments. PinkLion reserves the right to disqualify Sellers (and terminate their Accounts) who fail to obtain and provide shipping tracking information to Buyers. In addition, to the extent that there is a dispute between the Buyer and Seller about the shipment of items purchased, Seller’s failure to obtain and provide shipping tracking information may be used against Seller to support a Buyer’s claim.
By listing products, the Seller represents that it has the legal authority to sell the listed product and that the product does not infringe on any party’s rights, including trademark and copyrights. All product descriptions (including product photographs) must be absolutely accurate and honest.
Refunds and Returns:
Users of the Site (both Byers and Sellers) acknowledge and agree that all transactions and dealings are solely between the Buyers and Sellers. Consequently, PinkLion has no independent returns or refunds policy. All such policies are established by the particular Seller, and Buyers are advised to carefully review each Seller’s independent terms and to inquire about the Sellers’ policies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, PinkLion does not provide any refunds of transaction fees, even when items are returned to the Seller. As such, Sellers understand and agree that PinkLion’s transaction fee is final and not refundable, and that the PinkLion fee will not be returned or refunded under any circumstances, even when the Seller accepts a return or issues a refund to the Buyer.
Disputes between Users:
In the event a dispute arises between you and another user or a third party, we encourage you to contact the user or third party to resolve the dispute amicably. Because PinkLion is not a party to any transactions occurring through the Site, we have no obligation to resolve the dispute or to in any manner get involved in it. Further, you hereby release PinkLion (and PinkLion’s officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with disputes with one or more users, or an outside party.
4. USER ACCOUNTS; PINKLION TRANSACTION FEE
All Sellers will be required to register and create a user account (an “Account”). In addition, Buyers may also need to register for an Account to facilitate custom requests made to Sellers. Registering as a PinkLion user and creating an Account is free. Upon creating a Seller Account you will be prompted to register with PayPal and/or Stripe. When a Buyer purchases an item, the Buyer will be transferred to a payment page on the Site and the Buyer may select to pay Seller using PayPal or Stripe. In either case, the Seller will be paid the listed purchase price less PinkLion’s transaction fee, which will be paid directly to PinkLion. PinkLion’s transaction fee is a percentage of the Transaction Total. As noted above, the “Transaction Total” includes the purchase price of the item (customized & non-customized) and shipping costs, but does not include sales tax collected by the Seller (if any). The applicable transaction % is listed on the Site and may change from time to time. All payment transactions will be facilitated either by PayPal or by Stripe; PinkLion does NOT process payment or transfer payment from Buyers to Sellers. At no time does PinkLion hold Buyers’ or Sellers’ funds.
By using the Site and/or setting up an Account you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving our Services under the laws of the United States or otherwise. You also agree:
We reserve the right to (a) terminate a user’s Account and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms of Use; (b) in our sole discretion without notice and without limitation or liability, refuse, restrict access to or availability of, or terminate any user’s Account for any reason.
