• PURCHASE TERMS.
  1. Orders; Order Acceptance. Buyers may place orders for Vendors’ products through our Shop (each, a “Purchase”). The receipt of an order number or an email order confirmation does not constitute Rise Market’s or any Vendor’s acceptance of an order or a confirmation of an offer to sell. Vendors and Rise Market reserve the right to refuse service to any Buyer or cancel an order for any reason. Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of an order. Prices and availability of products are subject to change without notice. Buyers agree that by placing an order through the Shop, you are entering into a binding contract and agree to pay all charges that may be incurred by you or on your behalf through the Shop, at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred including, without limitation, all shipping and handling charges. In addition, you remain responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to your Purchases. Your total price will include the price of the product(s) plus any applicable sales tax; such state and local sales tax is based on the shipping address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you Purchase the product(s). Such taxes will be imposed only in states where the goods sold over the internet are taxable.
  2. Shipping; Risk of Loss. Vendors use reliable third-party carriers to deliver products to Buyers. Buyers are responsible for the cost of all shipping. Rise Market is not liable for any damages (including, without limitation, any incidental or consequential damages) arising from a Vendor’s failure to deliver or delay in delivering products Purchased through the Shop. Title and risk of loss to the products will pass to Buyer upon delivery by Vendor to the shipping carrier.
  3. All descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, and prices of products described or depicted on the Services are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and other descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. From time to time, there may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, product prices, promotions, offers, and availability. Rise Market and Vendor each reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders, if any information on the Services is inaccurate at any time without prior notice, even after Buyer has received an order confirmation or shipping notification. The inclusion of any products on the Services does not imply or warrant that these products will be available. Vendors reserve the right to revise their product offerings and/or discontinue products at any time without notice. Vendors and Rise Market also reserve the right to limit quantities purchased, and to revise, suspend, or terminate an event or promotion at any time without notice (including after an order has been submitted or acknowledged).
  4. Where applicable, Buyers shall pay all purchase prices, taxes, shipping and handling, and other fees in connection with products purchased in the manner specified on or selected through the Shop. Payment is due immediately upon making a Purchase. By making a Purchase, Buyer is agreeing to pay Rise Market, through our payment processor, Paypal (“Payment Processor”), all charges at the prices then in effect for such Purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms provided by Vendor. If Buyer has a card or other payment method on file with its account on the Shop, by placing an order Buyer may be authorizing us, through Payment Processor, to charge such account for the Purchase amount. By using the Services to make Purchases, you agree to Payment Processor’s terms of service available at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full. BUYERS MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR THEIR ACCOUNTS, AND PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP SUCH ACCOUNT INFORMATION CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE). FURTHER, BUYERS MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US IF A PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF BUYER BECOMES AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF BUYER’S USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT BUYER’S ACCOUNT PAGE.
• VENDOR TERMS.
  1. Vendor User Content. When Vendor posts or livestreams User Content, such User Content will only remain on the Service for as long as Rise Market reasonably determines following the livestream, during which time Buyers may make Purchases. Vendor represents and warrants to Rise Market that any claims about products made by Vendor or contained in Vendor’s User Content have been substantiated and comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations including FTC guidelines and other consumer protection laws and regulations.
  2. Orders; Shipping. Orders are placed by Buyers through Rise Market and sent to Vendors. Once a vendor accepts the order they will have access to shipping information for the Buyer.. Vendor shall ship all Shop orders directly to Buyers. Other than the limited information necessary to make shipments, all Buyer information shall be held exclusively by Rise Market, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and Vendor shall not have the ability to communicate with Buyers without going through Rise Market. Vendor may contact Rise Market for any questions about the order. Rise Market strongly urges Vendors to obtain and maintain insurance for your shipments. Rise Market is not liable for any shipment issues. All sales are final and we do not accept returns or provide refunds.
  3. Payments; Accounts. Our Payment Processor collects payments from Buyers and passes the amounts through to Rise Market, subject to their 3.49% transaction fee + 49 cents per transaction, as well as a processing period. After Rise Market receives payment from the Payment Processor for the purchase, Rise Market in turn shall pass these amounts to Vendor, less a platform service charge is due to Rise Market as agreed to by the parties in writing (including via electronic mail), which in any case shall be between four percent (4%) to ten percent (10%) including transaction fees. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that there is usually a delay between when the Buyer pays for a Purchase and when Rise Market receives payment via Payment Processor, and, therefore, there will be an additional delay passing payments through to Vendor. To receive payment, Vendor must: (i) have an active account with Paypal Business Account (“Payment Account”), and (ii) share the necessary Payment Account details with Rise Market to enable Rise Market to send Vendor payments. By signing up for the Shop and designating a Payment Account, Vendor hereby agrees to Rise Market making deposits into Vendor’s Payment Account for payments received by Rise Market for the sale of Vendor products, less any commissions due to Rise Market in connection therewith. VENDORS MUST MAINTAIN ACTIVE PAYMENT ACCOUNTS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR SALES, AND MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR THEIR PAYMENT ACCOUNTS, AND PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP SUCH PAYMENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE. FURTHER, VENDORS MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US IF VENDOR BECOMES AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF VENDOR’S PAYMENT ACCOUNT.
  4. Performance Metrics. Rise Market cares deeply about customer satisfaction. Accordingly, we reserve the right to track and measure Vendors’ use of the Services and performance in accordance with this Agreement. We reserve the right to track order fulfillment, Buyer complaints, shipping times, cancellation/request for return rates and chargebacks, backorder issues, and related logistics and performance issues. These metrics help us determine whether a Vendor is meeting our and our Buyers’ expectations. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that Vendor is not meeting our performance standards, is in violation of this Agreement, or for other reasons, we reserve the right to suspend or remove your account with the Services.
  5. Vendor hereby agrees to comply with any and all applicable tax laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Service, including reporting and payment of any taxes arising from a payment transaction or income received through sales made through the Service.

• BINDING ARBITRATION.

In the event of a dispute arising between you and Rise Market under or relating to this Agreement or the Services (not a dispute between a Buyer and a Vendor) (each, a “Dispute”), either you or Rise Market may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER YOU OR RISE MARKET CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by you and Rise Market, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Both you and Rise Market will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States, State of Texas, County of Travis. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section (20) below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

• CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

• EQUITABLE RELIEF.

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Austin, Texas for purposes of any such action by us.

• DISPUTES BETWEEN AND AMONG USERS.

If there is a dispute between or among Users of the Services, you agree to initiate the dispute with Rise Market directly. Rise Market will take steps to mediate the User dispute in its sole, reasonable discretion.

Notwithstanding Rise Market’s good faith efforts, some disputes may not be resolved in a manner that satisfies all parties. Rise Market’s decision with respect to all disputes is final. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other Users, you release Rise Market, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services.
