Open A Marketing Inc.

Master Terms of Use

Last Modified: October 19, 2020

Please Note: The Service (defined below) is a beta product. This means that it is a work-in-progress, not a final product, and you may encounter some bugs, glitches or other non-final features and experiences in using it. We are delighted to have you use the Service during this temporary beta phase, but please do not use it unless you are comfortable with using it in beta form. By using the Service during this beta phase, you also agree to the Non-Disclosure clause in this Agreement, below.

01. Acceptance of this Agreement

This Master Terms of Use is a binding agreement between the person or organization visiting or using the Service (“you”) and Open A Marketing Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company", "we" or "us"). This document, together with any documents it expressly incorporates by reference (collectively, this "Agreement"), governs your access to and use of www.OpenA.com including any content, functionality and services offered on or through www.OpenA.com (collectively, the"Service"), whether as a Visitor or a registered Pro User.

By using or visiting the Service or creating an account (“Account”) through the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and you consent to our collecting and using personal information in the ways disclosed in our Privacy Policy, found at www.opena.com/help/privacy. If you do not agree to this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, you must not use the Service.

This Service is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older (or any higher age that may be required to form a legally binding agreement in the user’s jurisdiction). By using the Service, you represent and warrant that meet these eligibility requirements. If you register an Account on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity, then you represent and warrant that you are authorized by that entity to act on its behalf and agree on its behalf to each term of this Agreement.

02. Changes to this Agreement

We may revise and update this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Service thereafter. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of a revised Agreement means that you accept and agree to the changes.

03. About Open A and the Service

We operate an online platform (the “Service”) that allows people to buy and sell personal possessions (“Products”) owned by Owners (as defined below). People who use the Service can use the Service as:

  • * “Owners” (when they authorize other Users to act as Professional Sellers to sell Products on their behalf through the Service)
  • * “Sellers” (when they use the Service to sell Products that they own, or when they act as Professional Sellers selling Products on behalf of Owners)
  • * “Buyers” (when they purchase Products from Sellers through the Service)
  • * “Professional Sellers” or “PSs” (when they use the Service to operate their own consignment businesses)
  • * “Ambassadors” (independent agents who the Company compensates to promote and support the Company and the Service)
  • * “Visitors” (when they visit, access and browse the Service’s “Marketplace” feature without creating an Account)
  • * “Members” (to the extent that they use the Service’s social networking features).

This Agreement describes ways that people use the Service, meaning that any person can act as an Owner, Seller, Buyer, and/or PS. We refer to Owners, Sellers, Buyers and PSs collectively as “Pro Users.” We refer to all users of the Service in any way (including Pro Users, Ambassadors and Visitors) together as Users.”

A Visitor may visit, access and browse the Service, but if and when he or she joins as a Pro User or Member, which he or she does by registering and creating an Account with the Service, he or she will be deemed a Pro User or Member and not a Visitor.

All Users are bound by this Agreement. PSs are also bound by the separate Professional Seller Agreement, and Ambassadors are also bound by the separate Ambassador Agreement.

04. Accessing the Service and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this Service and any service or material we provide on it in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Service is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Service, or the entire Service, to users, including registered users.

To access the Service or some parts of it, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. All of the information you provide on the Service must be correct, current and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Service or otherwise, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive features on the Service, is governed by our Privacy Policy and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your Account is personal to you and agree not to sell or transfer your Account to any other person or provide any other person with access to this Service or portions of it using your user name, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security.

We have the right to disable any user name, password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of this Agreement.

05. Terms of Transactions

All purchases, sales, listings and any other transactions made through the Service are governed by this Agreement (and, to the extent that you are a Professional Seller, your Professional Seller Agreement).

Listings

A Seller may create listings for any Products that he or she is offering for sale, whether those Products are owned by the Seller or by a different Owner (“Listings”). Sellers pay no fees to list Products. Sellers are solely responsible for preparing a Product’s Listing (including either taking photographs of Products or securing photographs of Products from their Owners and gathering all appropriate Listing information from Owners), setting Products’ prices and packaging and shipping Products once sold. Sellers in their sole discretion may decide whether to incur shipping costs or to require Buyers to pay shipping costs. Owners will not pay shipping costs in any event.

Sellers must promptly respond to any questions from potential Buyers about Products the Sellers list. In case of Third-Party Sales (see below), Sellers may seek information from Owners about the listed Products, and Owners must promptly reply to those questions.

Third-Party Payment Processors

The Company uses multiple third-party payment processors in connection with the Service. Sellers will receive payments through Stripe and must create and maintain Stripe accounts in order to do so. Ambassadors and Owners will receive payments through Hyperwallet and must create Hyperwallet accounts in order to do so. Payments received through Hyperwallet are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy.

Direct Sales and Third-Party Sales

Owners have the option to sell their Products themselves (in which case they act as both Owners and Sellers, for purposes of this Agreement). This sales transaction is called a “Direct Sale.”

Alternatively, Owners may agree that another Seller may sell their Products on their behalf. This sales transaction is called a “Third-Party Sale,” and the Service provides tools allowing Owners and Sellers to identify, search for and contact each other to discuss possible Third-Party Sale arrangements with each other. In a Third-Party Sale, Sellers create one or more dedicated pages within the Service for each Owner where the Sellers sell that Owner’s Products (“Stores”) A Seller has the option to sell all of a given Owner’s Products in one Store or to separate them into multiple Stores with the goal of improving sales through differentiated marketing strategies. In a Third-Party Sale, the Seller will be entitled to a fee ("Consignment Fee") and will receive the Consignment Fee once the Buyer’s payment has cleared through Stripe, which can take several days.

Owners and Sellers must link their Open A accounts to a third-party payment account with Stripe or any other third-party payment solutions that we support from time to time (“Payment Accounts”). Sellers have the option to ship Products to Buyers via UPS, FedEx or U.S. Postal Service (“Shipping Services”). Buyers have the option to provide ratings or comments about Sellers from whom they have purchased Products (together, “Seller Feedback”).

Purchases, Payments and Fees

When a Buyer makes a purchase through the Service, the Product’s Owner receives the funds through the Owner’s Payment Account, the Seller is notified that the Product has sold and the Seller’s Consignment Fee is held in escrow until the Seller ships the Product to the Buyer (as determined by a notification from the Seller’s Shipping Service indicating that Product is en route to the Buyer). If the Seller has excessively poor Seller Feedback (as we determine in our sole discretion), we may hold their Consignment Fee in escrow until the Buyer has confirmed receipt of the Product.

The Nature of Transactions

For convenience, we use the language of “consignment” in this Agreement, in the Service and in our marketing materials. This terminology is not intended to suggest, and does not mean, that any transactions made through the Service will be deemed “consignments” under the laws of the various states and territories of the United States of America or under federal law. Depending on the law in your state, these transactions may be deemed “consignments” or may be deemed other types of transactions. This distinction could determine whether you need to pay taxes on them either as an Owner, Seller or Buyer.

Sales on Third-Party Platforms

We understand that Sellers may seek to use marketplace services other than the Service (“Third-Party Platforms”) to provide additional sales channels. In Direct Sales, Sellers have the option at any time to sell their Products on Third-Party Platforms. In a Third-Party Sales relationship, if a Product’s Owner has authorized the PS to sell the Product on a Third-Party Platform (as provided in a Consignment Form, described below), then the PS will have sole discretion as to whether and when to sell that Product on any Third-Party Platforms that the PS in his or sole discretion chooses and the PS will be liable for any fees that the Third-Party Platform may charge to the PS in addition to the Open A Service’s fees.

Taxes

You are responsible for your own compliance with any local, state, federal or international tax obligations that may apply to your use of the Service. If you act as a Seller and sell Products through the Service, your sales of Products are made using one or more third-party tools that we use to assist Sellers with their obligations relating to sales tax (“Tax Tools”). Tax Tools currently include TaxJar and may include additional or different tools in the future, which we may adopt or substitute at any time with or without prior notice to you. While we offer Tax Tools for your convenience, we cannot and do not promise that your use of Tax Tools alone will ensure your own compliance with applicable laws relating to sales tax. To the extent you are entitled to a warranty relating to a Tax Tool, it will be the warranty or warranties offered by the provider of that Tax Tool. If you act as a Seller and sell Products through a Third-Party Platform, we do not offer any Tax Tools or other services that related to your sales tax obligations.

Tax laws can vary by jurisdiction, and we recommend consulting a tax professional in your jurisdiction to determine the extent of any tax obligations that you may have relating to the Service or any other product that we offer.

06. Consignment Forms and Form Management

In Third-Party Sales, PSs have the option to use the Service to generate Consignment Forms. Consignment Forms are documents generated by the Service, using information supplied by both PSs and Owners, to define certain terms of their Third-Party Sales relationship. Consignment Forms are addenda to this Agreement and incorporate it.

PSs may use the Service to transmit proposed Consignment Forms to Owners, who may then digitally accept them through the Service if they agree to their terms. PSs and Owners may agree to use one Consignment Form to govern all of their Third-Party Sales or they may choose to use separate Consignment Forms for each of multiple Stores that the PS uses for the Owner in cases where they agree that different terms (e.g., Consignment Fees) will apply to the different Stores. Once a PS and an Owner have agreed to a Consignment Form, the Service stores it and makes it available at all times to that PS and Owner.

07.Physical Possession of Products Pending Sale in Third-Party Sales Transactions

In Third-Party Sales relationships, pending a Product’s sale, PSs and Owners may agree either that the PS will take custody and possession of it or that the Owner will retain custody and possession of it (we recommend the latter approach, which allows PSs to avoid inventory storage costs and risks). If the Owner retains custody pending sale, then the Owner:

  • 7.1must make arrangements with the PS allowing the PS to promptly take possession of the Product and ship it once a Buyer has purchased it;

  • 7.2must immediately notify the PS, through the Service, if the Product becomes lost, stolen or damaged or otherwise incurs a change in its status rendering the Product’s Listing materially incorrect (such change in status may include, without limitation, the Owner learning new information that materially changes the value of the Product); and

  • 7.3may deactivate the Product’s Listing at any time, for any reason, by communicating directly to the PS the Owner’s intention to deactivate the Listing or by using their Owner Dashboard in the Service to deactivate the Listing.

08. Open A’s Role in Listings, Purchases and Sales

We reserve the right at any time to do any of the following, in addition to exercising our other rights in this Agreement, with the goal of improving the experience and enjoyment of the Service for Users:

  • Edit Listings and other User Content to correct, clarify or improve the presentation of such content. This may include removing metadata in Listings or other User Content.
  • Cause Listings and other User Content to appear in a manner and order of our choosing, which may mean that particular Listings appear in some Users’ searches and not those of others or fail to appear in some searches.

09. User Content

The Service may contain Listings, message boards, chat rooms, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards and other interactive features (collectively, "Interactive Services") that allow Pro Users and Members to post, submit, publish, display or transmit to other Users or third parties (hereinafter, "post") content or materials (collectively, "User Content") on or through the Service.

All User Content must comply with the Content Standards below and is subject to this Agreement. Any User Content you post to the site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.

18. Copyright Infringement

Procedure for Reporting Infringements of Copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 ("DMCA")

We will respond to notices that allege that User Content in the Service constitutes copyright infringement so long as those notices comply with applicable law and are properly provided to us. If you believe that any User Content accessible through the Service infringes on your intellectual property rights, you may provide our designated copyright agent (“Designated Agent”) with the following information (a Notice of Claimed Infringement, or “NOCI”) in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if this is a single notification of a copyright infringement claim covering multiple copyrighted works on the Site, as permitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 ("DMCA"), a representative list of such works on the Site;
  3. identification of the User Content that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  4. your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;
  5. a statement of your good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Our Designated Agent is:

Open A Marketing Inc
c/o Compliance
PO Box 160
Limon, CO 80828
[email protected]

If you fail to comply with all of these notice requirements, your NOCI is not valid. When the Designated Agent receives a proper NOCI, we will promptly investigate the claim and take the action that we in our sole discretion deem appropriate. This may include, without limitation: (1) removing or disabling access to the User Content identified in the NOCI; (2) notifying the applicable User that we have removed or disabled access to such material; or (3) terminating that User’s Account.

Only notices of suspected intellectual property rights infringement should be sent to the Designated Agent. For all other requests for technical support, feedback, comments, and other communications, please contact [email protected].

Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent

If you as a User receive notice from us that we have removed or disabled access to your User Content pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and you believe that that User Content was not infringing, or if you believe you have obtained all required rights from their owners, the owners’ agent, or pursuant to the law, you may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent containing:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content to be removed or disabled; and
  4. your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the NOCI to us or such person’s agent.

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing the complaining party that we may replace the removed User Content following receipt of the counter-notice unless the complaining party notifies the Designated Agent that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Service user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the Content that was the subject of the NOCI.

19. Reliance on Information Posted on the Service

Buyers of Products should be aware that Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of Listings and their other User Content. Open A may from time to time take steps to encourage accuracy in Sellers’ User Content, but cannot and does not promise that Open A has confirmed the accuracy of such User Content. Any reliance you place on such information is at your own risk.
