YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UTILIZING AN INTERNET-BASED MARKETPLACE AND INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS IN PERSON AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 17.

These Terms apply to your access to and use of the RecycleBro Service provided by RecycleBro, Inc. (“RecycleBro,” “we” and “us”). Additional terms (including, but not limited to, the terms of social media services, third-party payment processors, and third-party fulfillment providers) may apply to particular functionalities and features related to the RecycleBro Service.

Note: From time to time RecycleBro introduces new features that may only be available to certain users. Provisions of these Terms of Service relating to such new features, including, at the present, the electronic payments and fulfillment solutions, may not apply to all users.

1. Eligibility

ONLY USERS WHO ARE THIRTEEN (13) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER MAY REGISTER FOR OR USE THE RECYCLEBRO SERVICE. The RecycleBro Service is not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of thirteen (13). If you are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18), you may use the RecycleBro Service only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms and any applicable additional terms. You further represent and warrant that you: (a) have not previously been suspended or removed from using the RecycleBro Service; (b) are legally permitted to, and do, live in the United States or one of its territories, and (c) may enter into this agreement without violating any other agreement to which you are a party. If you are registering to use the RecycleBro Service on behalf of a legal entity, you further represent and warrant that (i) such legal entity is duly organized and validly existing under the applicable laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) you are duly authorized by such legal entity to act on its behalf.

2. Account Registration and Security Responsibilities

In order to access certain parts of the RecycleBro Service, you may be required to create an RecycleBro account (an “Account”) or a seller payment account (“Stripe Account”) with Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). In connection with creating an Account or a Stripe Account, you must provide certain information (“Registration Data”) and answer all questions or fields marked “required.” You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete Registration Data; (b) maintain and update such Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete; (c) maintain the security of your Account and the Stripe Account, including by maintaining the security and confidentiality of your login credentials; and (d) consent to allow RecycleBro to contact you for the purpose of confirming some or all of your Registration Data, to conduct research and to resolve disputes, as RecycleBro may elect to do from time to time.

3. Purchases From Other Users.

A. Cash and Other Payments Determined by Users. A buyer may, by agreement with the seller, elect to make payment by cash, check or other payment method accepted by the seller. Such payments are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they meet in person to complete their purchase and sale transaction, pursuant to terms they determine. RecycleBro is not a party to such transactions, and does not facilitate such transactions, refunds or returns in any manner.

B. RecycleBro Payment Solution. A buyer and seller may instead pay with and accept credit cards and other electronic payment methods (each an “Electronic Payment Method”) through the RecycleBro Service. RecycleBro has integrated with Stripe, a payment processing service, to allow sellers to accept certain Electronic Payment Methods from buyers using Stripe’s payment processing services (“RecycleBro Payment Solution”). Buyers who wish to use the RecycleBro Payment Solution must register an Electronic Payment Method with RecycleBro, and sellers must enroll for the service through Stripe. Enrollment in and usage of the RecycleBro Payment Solution is voluntary, so buyers should note that some sellers may not accept Electronic Payment Methods, or may only accept Electronic Payment Methods for certain transactions. RecycleBro, in its sole discretion, may from time to time impose limits on your ability to make and/or receive payments through the RecycleBro Payment Solution. Additionally, Stripe may impose its own limits and limitations on a seller’s use of the RecycleBro Payment Solution. For instance, a seller’s enrollment in the RecycleBro Payment Solution is subject to Stripe’s confirmation that the seller meets Stripe’s enrollment criteria. Sellers should refer to Section 2(d) below for information about the impact of failing to meet Stripe’s enrollment criteria.

i. Buyers. As with any purchases made using cash, all purchases made using the RecycleBro Payment Solution are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they complete their purchase and sale transaction, pursuant to the terms they determine. When you initiate a payment through the RecycleBro Payment Solution, the seller processes your Electronic Payment Method using Stripe’s payment processing service. RecycleBro is not a party to purchase and sale transactions completed using the RecycleBro Payment Solution, and disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions, except to provide an interface through which you can provide your Electronic Payment Method to Stripe to process on behalf of the seller. RecycleBro further disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate or provide refunds or returns in any manner, other than as expressly provided in the Buyer Protection Policy.

ii. Sellers. By using the RecycleBro Payment Solution to accept Electronic Payment Methods, you are entering into an agreement with Stripe subject to the terms of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stripe Services Agreement, you will not have the right to have Stripe, and will not request that Stripe, transfer any buyer data Stripe collects via the RecycleBro Payment Solution to an alternative payment processor. Except for the foregoing restriction that supersedes any rights you may have in the Stripe Services Agreement, the Stripe Services Agreement is separate from these Terms. RecycleBro is not a party to the Stripe Services Agreement and will not be liable or responsible for the payment services provided by Stripe. If Stripe discontinues providing services in connection with the RecycleBro Payment Solution, you authorize Stripe to share your payment method information with an alternative third-party payment processor that is or will be integrated into the RecycleBro Payment Solution.

iii. Seller Fees. You agree to pay the service fees (“Service Fees”) for the sales transactions you make using the RecycleBro Payment Solution. The Service Fees include Electronic Payment Method processing fees to Stripe and service fees to RecycleBro. RecycleBro reserves the right to change the Service Fees from time to time.

iv. Receiving Sales Proceeds. Upon completion of a sale in which the buyer uses the RecycleBro Payment Solution, if you have not previously set up a Stripe Account, then you must set up a Stripe Account in accordance with the requirements specified by Stripe to receive the payment via the RecycleBro Payment Solution. STRIPE MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO USE THE RECYCLEBRO PAYMENT SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE RECYCLEBRO PAYMENT SOLUTION. IF STRIPE REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A STRIPE ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A SALE PROCESSED BY STRIPE THROUGH THE RECYCLEBRO PAYMENT SOLUTION, THEN STRIPE MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE RECYCLEBRO PAYMENT SOLUTION.

v. Acceptable Use Violations. YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE RECYCLEBRO PAYMENT SOLUTION MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED OR LIMITED IF THE PURCHASE OR SALE VIOLATES SECTION 7 (ACCEPTABLE USE) OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR SALES THAT VIOLATE THE PROHIBITED ITEMS GUIDELINES.

vi. Transactions Final. Regardless of the payment method chosen, ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, UNLESS YOU AND THE SELLER OTHERWISE AGREE AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A REFUND. RecycleBro will not be responsible for facilitating refunds, other than as expressly provided with respect to the Buyer Protection Policy.

vii. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to each transaction you complete via the RecycleBro Service, including, for example, sales, use, value added, and similar taxes. It is also your responsibility to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. RecycleBro is not responsible for withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting any sales, use, value added, or similar tax arising from any transaction you complete via the RecycleBro Service.

C. Shipping. From time to time, RecycleBro may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to its Shipping Policy, recommend a third party to allow sellers to ship purchased items to buyers.  RecycleBro is not a party to transactions conducted between buyers and sellers, or to the shipping of items from sellers to buyers, and, other than as expressly provided in the Shipping Policy, RecycleBro will not be liable for, and you release us from any liability to you for, any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping.  You agree not to use the RecycleBro shipping service to mail or cause to be mailed, or ship or cause to be shipped, any item purchased and sold through RecycleBro in a manner that violates the law and/or United States Postal Service or shipping regulations, including but not limited to U.S. Postal Service Publication 52.  You further warrant that any item you mail or ship contains no weapons, ammunition, explosives, living or infectious biological matter, human remains, pornography, alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, currency, dangerous goods, hazardous goods, or other goods that may not be shipped or mailed by law. As a seller, you assume full responsibility for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those regarding mailing and shipping.  Anyone who sends, or causes to be sent, a prohibited, illegal, or improperly packaged or labeled material can be subject to legal penalties such as civil penalties, fines and/or imprisonment, including but not limited to those specified in 18 U.S.C. § 1716 and 39 U.S.C. § 3018.

i. Sellers. From time to time, RecycleBro may, in its sole discretion, permit certain sellers to post their items for sale nationwide. Sellers will be charged a posting fee for any sale that results in an item being shipped. Sellers who choose to post nationwide must ship their items in accordance with RecycleBro’s Shipping Policy. When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase an item to be shipped, the seller must print the pre-paid shipping label and mail the item within 3 business days of accepting the offer. The seller may cancel an accepted offer up until the package is initially scanned for mailing. The buyer’s payment, minus RecycleBro’s nationwide posting fee, will be released to the seller typically 3 business days after delivery, provided that no Buyer Protection claims are made by the buyer. Buyer Protection claims may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released to the seller.

ii. Buyers. From time to time, Buyers will be able to view items posted nationwide by sellers who have agreed to use the RecycleBro shipping feature. For these items, the buyer is solely responsible to pay the cost of shipping the item from the seller. Buyers can cancel an offer to purchase an item for shipping up until the seller has accepted the offer. When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase an item for shipping, RecycleBro will charge or put a hold on the buyer’s method of payment, pending delivery of the item. If there are any problems with the delivery or the item itself, please consult the RecycleBro Buyer Protection Policy. For any undisclosed damage, incorrect or missing items, or items that are not as described, buyers must contact RecycleBro within 2 days of delivery, otherwise RecycleBro will deem the transaction closed and release the buyer’s payment to the seller. Please review the RecycleBro Buyer Protection Policy to learn more. Buyers may also be given the option within the RecycleBro Service to confirm the item purchased is as described after receiving and inspecting it. When done, RecycleBro will also deem the transaction closed and release the buyer’s payment to the seller.

5. Terms of Sale for RecycleBro’s Paid Services.

You agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify RecycleBro and the RecycleBro Providers from all liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action, demands and expenses, (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), that are due to, arise from or otherwise relate to your conduct or your use or misuse of the RecycleBro Service or Materials, including, without limitation, any actual or threatened suit, demand or claim made against RecycleBro or any RecycleBro Provider that arises out of or relates to: (i) any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of any third party, (ii) your breach of these Terms including without limitation your breach of any of your representations and warranties; (iii) your use of any of the RecycleBro Service or Materials; (iv) any content that you store on or transmit through the RecycleBro Service; or (v) any items that you mail or ship in connection with the RecycleBro Service, including items sold to other RecycleBro users. RecycleBro may assume exclusive control of any defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with RecycleBro in such event.

20. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING A JURY TRIAL WAIVER) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH RECYCLEBRO AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM RECYCLEBRO (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).

A. Binding Arbitration. Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 7 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RecycleBro agree (1) to waive your and RecycleBro’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, the RecycleBro Service or the Materials, resolved in a court, and (2) to waive your and RecycleBro’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and RecycleBro agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

B. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and RecycleBro agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the RecycleBro Service or the Materials is personal to you and RecycleBro and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and RecycleBro agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and RecycleBro agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

C. Federal Arbitration Act. You and RecycleBro agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 20 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

D. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. You and RecycleBro agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Your notice must include (1) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Account, and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (2) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (3) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent to the email address you used to register for your Account, and will include (a) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and RecycleBro cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or RecycleBro may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 20, commence an arbitration proceeding, or to the extent specifically provided for in section 20(A), file a claim in court.

E. Process. Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 7 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and RecycleBro agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or RecycleBro within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and RecycleBro will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and RecycleBro agree that (1) any arbitration will occur in Los Angeles County, California, (2) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (3) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

F. Authority of the Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (1) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (2) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

G. Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (1) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (2) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

H. Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Section 20 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 20 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 20(B) are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

I. Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 20. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt-out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 21.

21. Governing Law; Venue.

These Terms, your access to and use of the RecycleBro Service and Materials shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Los Angeles, California.

22. Miscellaneous

A. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms contain the entire agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding the RecycleBro Service. These Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other electronic or written agreement you may have with RecycleBro for the RecycleBro Service or for any other RecycleBro product, feature, service or otherwise. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other agreement you may have with RecycleBro, the terms of that other agreement will control only if these Terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden by such other agreement.

B. Amendments. We reserve the right to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending you an email and/or by posting the amended Terms via the RecycleBro Service and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. All amended Terms will become effective immediately on the date they are posted to the RecycleBro Service unless we state otherwise via our notice of such amended Terms. Any amended Terms will apply prospectively to use of the RecycleBro Service after such changes become effective. Your continued use of the RecycleBro Service following the effective date of such changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must discontinue using the RecycleBro Service.

C. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision will not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances.

D. Waiver. Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms will not operate as a waiver thereof.

E. Relationship. RecycleBro is an independent contractor for all purposes, and is not your agent or trustee. You are not an agent of RecycleBro.

F. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from RecycleBro, including by operation of law or in connection with any change of control. RecycleBro may assign or transfer any or all of its rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, without obtaining your consent or approval.

G. Headings. Headings of sections are for convenience only and will not be used to limit or construe such sections.

H. Survival. Sections 16 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 18 (Limitation of Liability), 19 (Indemnity), 20 (Arbitration), 21 (Governing Law; Venue), this Section 22 (Miscellaneous), and any other term that, by its nature, should survive, will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
