About Vespoe

Vespoe provides an open market for artists and designers and other creative individuals to offer and sell their original products (referred to in these Terms as “Items”). Vespoe shall invite sellers to join its marketplace to set up personal shops to sell their Items and, in turn, permit each of those sellers to invite others to set up their own personal shops. All sellers shall be subject to the approval of Vespoe in our sole discretion. Users of the Service may also post comments in the blog, forum and other community venues, create and edit their public profiles, provide feedback or comments about sellers or particular Items for sale, or communicate with each other through forums or other means.

Vespoe does not obtain or transfer legal ownership of Items from a seller to a buyer, but rather provides sellers and buyers with a virtual shop in which they can conduct their transaction. Only the individual shop owner (and not Vespoe or any other shop owner) has any control over the quality, safety or legality of any of the products offered for sale through the Service, the truth or accuracy of any listing, the ability of sellers to provide Items or the ability of buyers to pay for Items. Moreover, Vespoe does not promise to screen or investigate sellers and buyers using the Service and cannot ensure that all sellers and buyers will act in a legal or ethical manner or actually complete any transaction. Vespoe does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, Items, and content of any seller or buyer. If you have an issue with a buyer or seller, we provide for satisfaction ratings, which can indicate users experiences with buyers and sellers. Vespoe does not actively edit or monitor such ratings, so rely on them at your own risk.

Eligibility

The Service is not intended for or directed to persons who are minors (typically persons under the age of 18, depending on where you live). Because Vespoe cannot prohibit minors from accessing, viewing, browsing, visiting or using the Service, it must rely on parents, guardians and those responsible for supervising minors to decide which materials are appropriate for minors to view and/or purchase. By registering with this Site, selling or purchasing Items on the Service, providing Vespoe with any information or otherwise using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are legally permitted to enter into a binding contract (18 years of age or older in most jurisdictions) or, if you are under the legal age to contract, you have the express permission from your parent or guardian and that any information you provide to Vespoe is not inaccurate, deceptive or misleading. Vespoe may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer access to or use of the Service to any person or entity without notice and change its eligibility criteria at any time. USE OF THE SERVICE IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND THE RIGHT TO ACCESS THE SERVICE IS REVOKED IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS.

You should never publish, distribute or post login information for your account and you must notify Vespoe immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

Personal Shops and Listing Conditions

Registered users can create a personal shop through the Service on which they can list Items for sale. Each seller is solely responsible for all Items listed in his or her personal shop and for the compliance with all applicable, laws, rules and legal regulations. When setting up a personal shop through the Service you must choose a name for that shop. Each seller acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall not choose a name for his her personal shop that infringes any third party’s right. In such a case, Vespoe reserves the right to alter the shop name or to delete the shop. A seller, however, cannot change his or her shop name.

In addition, we require sellers to have a PayPal account to pay any fees and commissions owed to Vespoe and each seller must provide information about his or her PayPal account when setting up his or her personal shop. We also encourage sellers to set up a PayPal account as their preferred payment method, although sellers may include other payment methods supported by Vespoe at such time as payment options in their personal shops. For instance, we currently support payments by cash, money order and checks. We, however, will not support certain other payment methods, such as electronic funds transfers, credit cards and debit cards (unless supported by Paypal, such as guest checkout). If you will be charging for Items in currencies other than U.S. dollars, you must use PayPal supported methods.

Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for packaging and mailing Items. Sellers and buyers may not alter an Item’s price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Vespoe’s transaction fees, or misrepresent an Item’s location.

Sellers may want to specify policies for their personal shop, including, without limitation, policies pertaining to shipping, returns and payment. Any such policies must comply with Vespoe’s published policies. Sellers must abide by their policies and are solely responsible for the enforcement of their policies. Vespoe reserves the right to request a seller to modify its shop policies.

By listing an Item on the Site or through the Service, you agree to pay Vespoe’s fees and commissions for such listing, if any, assume full responsibility for the content of the listing and Item offered, and accept the following listing conditions:

  • You represent and warrant that you and all aspects of the Item comply with Vespoe’s published policies;
  • You represent and warrant that you may legally sell the Item offered;
  • You may not list any Item on the Site or through the Service (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using the Service) that, by paying Vespoe any fee owed with respect to the sale of such Item, could cause Vespoe to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation, or that violates these Terms;
  • You must accurately describe any Item listed by you and all terms of sale in your personal shop;
  • All information related to payment, delivery and delivery time must be complete;

  • Items must be listed in an appropriate category and each unique Item must have its own listing;
  • If the “in stock” quantity is more than one, all Items in that listing must be identical;
  • As a business person offering Items and services to consumers you are obligated to give all necessary information regarding consumer protection as required by law and to detail legal disclaimer rights if required by law;
  • Your listing will not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours, so Vespoe cannot guarantee exact listing locations;
  • Where your listing appears in search and browse results may be based on certain factors including listing format, title, keywords, price, shipping cost, feedback and seller ratings.

Suspended or terminated users remain obligated to pay Vespoe for all unpaid fees and commissions.
Transactions, Payments and Disputes

Vespoe provides an open market for to offer and sell a variety of types of Items. Vespoe does not obtain or transfer legal ownership of Items from a seller to a buyer, but rather provides sellers and buyers with a virtual shop in which they can conduct their transaction. This means that when you purchase an Item on the Site or through the Service, you directly conduct a transaction with the seller and Vespoe is not a party to that transaction. If you, as a buyer, have a question about a particular transaction, including payment methods and cancellations, you should contact the seller directly. Because Vespoe does not promise to screen or investigate its users, every user must be careful in dealing with or relying on other users to avoid fraud.

How you pay for an Item will depend partly on what payment methods the seller accepts. When you are ready to check out, you will need to do so separately for each seller. At checkout, you will be asked to choose your payment method from a list of options, which, depending on the seller, may include payment through Paypal or payment by check or money order. Vespoe is not responsible for the content, operation or functionality of any third party payment processor, including PayPal. Any issues with the operation of any such third party payment processors should be directed to the specific payment processor’s support personnel in accordance with its terms of service or user agreement.

As part of a transaction, you may obtain personal information, including e-mail, business and home addresses and telephone numbers, from another user. As a user, you understand that by providing any such information to a third party, you are releasing your personally identifiable information directly to that third party and acknowledge that Vespoe has no control over the use that such third party makes of that information. Therefore, we caution you to only disclose information that is directly relevant to the transaction (e.g., there should be no reason for you to disclose social security numbers, relatives names, Vespoe passwords, account numbers with financial institutions, etc). Without obtaining prior permission from that other user, any such personal information shall be used only for that transaction or for communications related to the Service. We have not granted you a license to use any such personal information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, you are not granted permission to add any other user to your e-mail or physical mail list without that user’s express consent. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy[Hyperlink].

Any disputes between you and another party (including, without limitation, other users, a payment processor or a Third Party Service), should be resolved with that other party. You may contact Vespoe in the event you have a dispute with another party, but Vespoe has no obligation to resolve any such dispute or to take any actions relating to any such dispute. You agree to release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vespoe and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, parents and subsidiaries from and against any and all claims from any and all claims, demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debts and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), of any type and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes with other users, payment processors or other Third Party Services.

Fees and Billing

We do not currently charge any fee to become a member of Vespoe or to list Items for sale on the Site or through the Service. We charge sellers a commission based on a percentage of the sale price when a seller sells an Item that he or she listed on the Site or through the Service, whether that transaction is completed directly through the Service [or completed elsewhere after the seller and the buyer initiated contact through the Service. At the end of each calendar month, we will invoice sellers for commissions on all sales made in the previous month, based on checkouts from your personal shop. Such invoices will be sent in electronic format through the Service or to the e-mail address provided upon registering with the Site. If you are a seller, you agree to receive invoices electronically and to keep your e-mail and registration information up-to-date. When a seller lists an Item the seller will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that the seller will be charged.

We may decide to charge for additional features or services available through or on Service, such as featured listings, or to change existing fees and commissions charged, in which case we will notify users of that change in accordance with these Terms. We may choose to temporarily change our commission/fees policy and the commissions/fees for our services for promotional events and such changes are effective when we announce the temporary promotional event on the Site or through the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, such promotional events shall not apply to any listings on the Site at the time of the announcement.

All fees and commissions are due within 30 days after any invoice date. You must pay any such fees and commissions to Vespoe through PayPal. Any amount not paid when due may bear a late payment charge, until paid, at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, then we may collect fees and commissions owed using other collection mechanisms, including, without limitation, the retention of collection agencies and legal counsel. If a buyer fails to fulfill his or her contractual obligations or if seller accepts a return of an item from a buyer, then the seller will receive a credit note to reimburse fees and commission. To receive the credit, the seller must claim it from Vespoe by submitting reasonable evidence supporting such credit within 30 days following receipt of the invoice.

All commissions and fees are payable in US Dollars (USD). For currencies other than U.S. dollars, exchange rates shall be determined using PayPal’s exchange rates at the time of payment. You are responsible for paying any and all taxes applicable to any purchases or sales of Items you make through the Service (excluding any taxes on Vespoe’s net income) and for collecting and remitting to applicable state authorities all sales, use and other taxes that might be imposed on the sale.

If we terminate a listing on your account, if you close your account or if the payment of your fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to pay us for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. If your account is not paid in full and becomes past due, you risk penalties such as the suspension of privileges, the termination of your account.

You and Vespoe agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Site or Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles, and without regard to any enactment of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms. Any claim or dispute between you and Vespoe that arises in whole or in part from the Site or Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in New York.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Vespoe in any respect whatsoever. Any notice to the Site that is required or permitted by these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon receipt, when sent by confirmed e-mail to [email protected] when delivered in person by nationally recognized overnight courier or mailed by first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Vespoe, Inc., 30 West 123rd Street, Suite A, New York, NY 10027.

These Terms, together with the Vespoe Privacy Policy[Hyperlink], the Vespoe Copyright Policy[Hyperlink] and any other legal notices published by Vespoe on the Site, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Vespoe with respect to the Service and your use of it. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Vespoe shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Vespoe’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Vespoe’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Vespoe may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction.
