4. The OfferUp Services

A. Posting Items, Buying and Selling

The OfferUp Services allow you to post items for sale by uploading pictures and providing item descriptions. You can post most items through the Services without charge. OfferUp charges a fee to post some items, for example,if you exceed your available free posts for certain types of items in certain categories. For more information on how and when fees are charged, see below.

When a buyer and seller agree on a price for an item posted for sale on the Services there are several options for completing the transaction.

If a buyer and seller agree, items may be paid for in-person and outside of the OfferUp Services, such as by cash, check or other agreed upon payment methods. The details of such a transaction and their payments are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they complete their transaction, pursuant to terms they determine. OfferUp is not a party to such transactions in any way, does not facilitate such transactions, and cannot assist with refunds or returns related to such transactions in any manner. Since OfferUp is not a party or involved in transactions of this nature, you acknowledge we cannot be held liable for any claims that arise out of it.

B. Posting Jobs

The OfferUp Services allow businesses to post job openings for a fee, which shall be determined solely by OfferUp and may vary according to your location, length of job posting, etc. OfferUp Jobs postings are only available for employment at businesses, not by individuals at this time, and only for positions based within the United States. You may not post any job openings that violate the OfferUp Prohibited Items and Jobs Guidelines.

By posting a job on OfferUp you are responsible to ensure the content of your posting complies with any and all applicable laws, including any local requirements regarding non-discrimination, disclosure of wages and benefits, age requirements for jobs, and other employment related disclosures for job postings. OfferUp in no way participates in the job application or screening process. All communications between OfferUp users and potential employers will occur outside of the OfferUp Platform. OfferUp may at any time, at its sole discretion, remove any job posting for any reason without providing prior notice. Please refer to our Jobs FAQ for additional information about Jobs posting options and criteria.

C. Shipping

OfferUp permits sellers to post certain items as being available for shipping nationwide (within the contiguous United States). Items purchased via Shipping require a user to pay for the purchase with a credit card or other electronic payment method through the Services ("OfferUp Payment Solution"). All purchases made using the OfferUp Payment Solution are made directly between you and the other party according to these Terms and any other terms the parties mutually determine. OfferUp is not a party to such transactions and disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions or provide refunds or returns, other than as expressly provided in the Purchase Protection Policies.

Sellers who post items as being available for shipping nationwide must ship their items in accordance with OfferUp's Shipping Policies, which consist of Shipping Policy, Packaging Policy, and 2-Day Purchase Protection Policy. Sellers who receive a prepaid shipping label are charged a fee for sales that results in an item being shipped. The seller may cancel an accepted offer up until the package is initially scanned for mailing by our authorized shipping partner.

Buyers who have requested items be shipped to them pay for the cost of shipping items. When a seller accepts a buyer's offer to purchase an item and have it shipped to them, OfferUp will charge or put a hold on the buyer's method of payment, pending delivery of the item. Buyers can cancel an offer to purchase an item for shipping up until the seller has accepted the offer.

OfferUp 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. OfferUp is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping and users ship any item at their own risk.

You agree not to use the OfferUp shipping service in a manner that violates the law and/or United States Postal Service regulations, including but not limited to U.S. Postal Service Publication 52, in any way. Without limiting the forgoing, you may not ship any item that contains 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. Anyone who ships a prohibited, illegal, or improperly packaged or labeled material is 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.

D. Payment Accounts

If you choose to make or accept payment for shipping items using the OfferUp Payment Solution, you agree to pay the relevant service fees. OfferUp reserves the right to change the service fees from time to time.

Making or accepting payment using the OfferUp Payment Solution requires you maintain an account with OfferUp's then-current payment processor for the OfferUp Payment Solution ("Payment Provider"). OfferUp currently uses Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"), a payment processing service, as its Payment Provider. If you wish to use this feature, you must enroll for the service through Stripe. By providing your credit card or deposit account information, you are entering into an agreement with Stripe and agree to the terms of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). OfferUp is not a party to the Stripe Services Agreement and is not responsible for the payment services provided by Stripe. If Stripe discontinues providing services in connection with the OfferUp Payment Solution, you authorize Stripe to share your payment method information with an alternative Payment Provider.

THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO USE THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION. IF THE PAYMENT PROVIDER REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A PAYMENT PROVIDER ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A SALE PROCESSED THROUGH THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION, THEN THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION.

YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED, OR LIMITED IF THE PURCHASE OR SALE VIOLATES ANY OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE PROHIBITED ITEMS GUIDELINES REFERENCED IN SECTION 7.

The buyer's payment, minus any applicable OfferUp fee, will be released to the seller typically 3-5 business days after the purchased item has been delivered to the buyer, provided that no claims are made by the buyer under the Purchase Protection Policies. Purchase Protection claims may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released to the seller. Sellers authorize the Payment Provider to pay OfferUp from Seller's account any fees incurred by the Seller from using the Services.

E. Taxes

You are responsible for any sales, use, duty, or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase or sale through the Services.

OfferUp will collect applicable sales tax if we determine that we have a duty to collect sales tax in a given state. OfferUp maintains a list of the states where it collects sales tax. If you are in a state where OfferUp does not collect sales tax on your behalf, you are required to collect all applicable sales taxes for sales made through the OfferUp Services.

OfferUp may need to report your earnings from OfferUp transactions to the Internal Revenue Service if you hit certain thresholds of activity on the "OfferUp Platform" (defined as both the OfferUp app and Offerup.com). If OfferUp determines that it is necessary to report your earnings, our Payment Provider will ask you for personal information, such as your social security number, in order to complete tax form 1099-K. If you do not provide this information when requested, our Payment Provider mayblock payments to your bank account until they receive the necessary information.

F. Paid Services & Subscriptions

1. General. While using OfferUp is generally free, some products or services may be available for a fee (the"Paid Services"). Paid Services include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the ability to pay for more or certain types of item posts within the Offerup marketplace, (ii) the ability to promote your posted item more prominently in the Services, (iii) the ability to purchase certain enhanced account features, (iv) the ability to post a Job, or (v) other services or features OfferUp may develop. Unless otherwise noted, Paid Services are charged, billed, and managed through your applicable Apple App Store or Google Play Store platform (each a "Platform"). Some Paid Services are one-time payments and some Paid Services are subscriptions that will renew according to the terms identified at the time of purchase.
2. Subscriptions. Paid Services that include a specific number of posts, promotions or Services a month or a year, and that renew either monthly or yearly, are subscriptions (a "Subscription"). The renewal period is based on the Subscription you select and the frequency of renewal will be clearly identified at the time of purchase. After you purchase a Subscription, your Platform will automatically charge you the fee for the first time period and the Platform's payment terms will apply (please review your Platform's payment and subscription terms for additional information on how their processes are managed). Unless otherwise stated, a Subscription will automatically renew and continue for the same price, Paid Service, and term length until you or the Platform cancel your Subscription, or OfferUp no longer offers the Subscription.
3. Cancellation. There is no obligation to continue a Subscription and you can cancel at any time prior to the end of the renewal of the current Subscription period. To cancel a Subscription, locate the cancel settings in your Platform at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. If you don't cancel within 24 hours before the end of the current period, payment for the next renewal period's subscription fees will be automatically charged through your Platform's payment method and you will have renewed for another renewal term; your Subscription will be canceled after the additional renewal term. For more information on how to manage subscriptions purchased through OfferUp, you can review this help article.
4. Free-trial. If you enroll in a free-trial for a Paid Service, you will automatically be charged at the end of the trial period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period through your Platform account.
5. One-time purchase. If you purchase a one-time Paid Service that is not a Subscription, you will be charged once, and the Paid Service purchased will not auto-renew. You may repurchase again at any time.
6. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION OF ANY KIND ON OFFERUP YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOUR PLATFORM TERMS, AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL YOU CAN TAKE ACTIONS TO CANCEL.

5. TruYou Feature

OfferUp allows you to apply for certain badges that are associated with your OfferUp account. One badge we offer is the TruYou badge. The TruYou badge is given to users who provide a form of valid self identification. We partner with Onfido, a third party service, to process TruYou applications. To receive the TruYou badge, users must provide certain personal identification documents (e.g., a driver's license). If you request the TruYou badge, you represent and warrant that (a) any personal identification document that you provide to us is an unaltered and accurate image of your government-issued personal identification document, and (b) that you have all necessary permissions to provide the personal identification documents to us and your provision of the personal identification documents to us does not violate any law or regulation or cause us to be subject to any investigation, prosecution or legal action. DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE IF THE FOREGOING IS NOT TRUE. We may disclose your photo identification document or certain personal information you provide to our third-party service providers to detect inaccurate or fraudulent personal identification documents and related information. By submitting a TruYou application, you must read and accept Onfido's Facial Scan Policy and Release, Onfido Privacy Policy and Onfido Terms of Service.

The TruYou badge indicates only that a user has provided OfferUp with the requested documentation. THE TRUYOU BADGE DOES NOT DESIGNATE, AND WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT, (A) WE HAVE VERIFIED THAT A USER WITH A TRUYOU BADGE IS THE PERSON THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE, (B) THAT A USER IS IN FACT THE PERSON IDENTIFIED IN ANY PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT THAT USER HAS PROVIDED TO US, OR (C) THAT WE HAVE TAKEN ANY STEPS TO RUN A CRIMINAL OR OTHER BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHERWISE MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF A USER'S INTEGRITY OR CHARACTER.

You and OfferUp agree that any past, present, or future dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and OfferUp, and that any dispute will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. The limitations imposed by this section apply to, but are in no way limited to, class action refund claims brought by a class of taxpayers against OfferUp related to taxes collected and remitted in good faith efforts at compliance with state and local marketplace facilitator or marketplace provider laws. Nothing in this section will be construed to prohibit a buyer from filing a refund claim with the seller or applicable state and local tax authority as permitted by law.

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or OfferUp seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or OfferUp seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and OfferUp waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any past, present, or future dispute or claim that you have against OfferUp or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact OfferUp and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to OfferUp by email at both [email protected] and [email protected], or by certified mail addressed to OfferUp Inc., Attn: OfferUp Designated Agent, 1100 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 8(A), #57, Bellevue, Washington, 98004.

The Notice must (a) include your name, your residence address, your email address, your telephone number, and, if you have registered for an OfferUp account, the email address your account is registered under if it is different from your current email address; (b) your OfferUp account username; (c) a description of the nature and basis of the claim; (d) details on the specific OfferUp item or transaction in question; and (e) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and OfferUp cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in King County, Washington unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration at the JAMS office closest to your residence. For purposes of this Section 21, a "consumer" means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. Additionally, arbitrations may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $10,000. You and OfferUp agree that arbitrations will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"), including without limitation, provisions regarding consolidation of claims. The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and OfferUp agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce, that the enforceability of this Section 21 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), and that to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the FAA shall preempt application of state laws regarding arbitration, including without limitation, provisions of the California Arbitration Act. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine whether a dispute may be arbitrated. The arbitrator may not preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, however, in the event that five or more claims in arbitration are initiated which assert the same or similar factual allegations, or raise the same or similar legal issues, we may request that the claims be consolidated for resolution consistent with Rule 6 of the Streamlined Rules, and you agree to consolidation of your claim with the claims of other claimants asserting the same or similar factual allegations, or whose claims raise the same or similar legal issues. In such a consolidated proceeding, a single arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve all consolidated claims, who shall resolve common issues of law and fact and apply such rulings consistently to the consolidated claims.

The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The arbitrator, OfferUp, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and OfferUp agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and OfferUp will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by OfferUp, OfferUp will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and OfferUp agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States sitting in King County, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the use of our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and OfferUp will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 21 by emailing OfferUp at [email protected].

In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address 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 23.

If any portion of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 21 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 21; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 21 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 21 will be enforceable. If you are a consumer, the provisions of this Section 21 will be modified to the extent necessary to conform to the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards.

You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the Onfido Terms of Service, or waive your opportunity to read the Onfido Terms of Service and waive any claim that the Onfido Terms of Service are unfair or should not apply for any reason. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 22 by emailing OfferUp at [email protected].

23. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Washington, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Washington 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 will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Washington and the United States, respectively, sitting in King County, Washington.

25. Miscellaneous

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure of OfferUp to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
