Welcome to the brandboom.com website owned and operated by Brandboom, Inc (hereafter, “Brandboom,” “we” or “us”). This Terms of Service agreement and the Addendums (collectively, the “ToS”) describes the terms and conditions applicable to your access and use of brandboom.com and any tools, platforms, and applications offered therefrom (collectively, the” Site”) and the services offered through the Site (the “Services”). The ToS constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Brandboom and your use of the Site and/or the Services signifies that you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth below. To the extent you use any Services subject to an Addendum, you agree to the terms and conditions in such Addendum.

If you are using the Site and/or the Services on behalf of a business entity, such as your employer, principal or client, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority to bind such entity to the ToS.

THE TOS ARE INTENDED FOR ALL USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY NAVIGATING THE SITE OR THOSE WHO REGISTER AN ACCOUNT.

HOWEVER, DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE TOS AFFECT USERS DIFFERENTLY, SO PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.

Amendments to the ToS: Brandboom may amend this ToS at any time by posting the amended ToS on the Site, and you agree that you will be bound by any changes to this ToS by accessing or using the Site or any of the Services after the amended ToS has been posted.

Overview of the Brandboom Services:

Brandboom provides an online information and sales platform whereby sellers of products (“Sellers”) can manage their own product offers and customer relationships and connect with, provide various information and materials about product offerings, and sell those products to buyers (“Buyers”). While Brandboom provides these and other services to Sellers and Buyers and may facilitate transactions between them, please note: Brandboom is not directly involved in or otherwise a party to any transactions that may take place between Sellers and Buyers. Brandboom has no control over the quality, safety, or legality of any aspect of Sellers’ offerings or any claims made by Sellers about the products they offer, the truth or accuracy of warranties or pricing supplied by Sellers (via customized presentation, promotional materials or otherwise), or the ability of Buyers to pay for or meet other obligations to Sellers.

Brandboom does not conduct background checks regarding any users of the Site or Services. Brandboom is not a broker, agent or insurer for any Sellers or Buyers. We encourage you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available through the Site and Services. All transactions entered into between Sellers and Buyers are made at each party’s own risk.

1. Requirements

As a condition of your use of certain aspects of the Services, you must:

(a) agree to this ToS and the Privacy Policy (accessible via this link: www.brandboom.com/privacy), and (b) register for an Account (defined below).

You are solely responsible for any internet connection fees that you incur when accessing the Services.

2. Accounts, Fees, and Security

2.1 Accounts.

There are two types of accounts available through the Services (each, an “Account”):

(a) “Buyer Accounts” which provides a user with buyer-only access to certain aspects of the Site and the Services free of charge; and (b) “Seller Accounts” which permit access to seller-only features of the Services, such as the ability to upload Content (defined below) to the Services.

You must complete the Account registration process by providing current, complete and accurate information. If your contact and/or payment account information changes, you agree to promptly update the Account information to reflect those changes. Upon subscription to either Account, a User Account must be established to access these Accounts.

2.2 User Accounts.

“User Accounts” allow a user to access an established Seller Account and/or Buyer Account by providing certain requested information.

A Buyer Account can be created by providing an e-mail address and such users will be prompted to create a password for account protection.

While users who do not create a password for the account will be permitted to continue, such users are assuming the risk of unauthorized users accessing the account via that e-mail address. The registration of a Seller Account requires additional user information.

You may create only one (1) User Account. By establishing a User Account, you agree that only one user is permitted access to each User Account and the User Account may not be shared or accessed by others except for internal technical support purposes. Each User Account is permitted access to only a Buyer Account or Seller Account. User Accounts established for access to Buyer Accounts are free of charge and have access to all buyer-related Services.

User Accounts established for access to Seller Accounts fall under two categories: (a) “Free Users”, which allows limited access to certain aspects of seller-related Services free of charge; and (b) “Paid Users” which allows full access to all seller-related Services. A Free User may be converted to a Paid User at any time with the purchase of a Paid User subscription. A Paid User cannot be converted to a Free User. User Accounts may be added to a Seller Account at any time after you create your Seller Account.

2.3 Term.

There is no defined term for Buyer Account subscriptions or Seller Account subscriptions with only Free Users.
The term for a subscription to a Seller Account with one or more Paid Users (Paid Seller Account) may either be one (1) month or twelve (12) months as specified. This term begins when the first payment is made. All accounts are subject to termination or cancellation as set forth below.

2.4 Fees.

The initial subscription fee for each Paid Seller Account listed on Brandboom’s Plans & Pricing page (https://www.brandboomn.com/pricing) is based on the term of the subscription and the number of Paid Users you initially designate that will have access to the Seller Account. Additional subscriptions fees for Paid Users that you subsequently add will be prorated for the remainder of the subscription term in effect. When you submit an order for a subscription with Paid Users, you agree to pay all fees set forth in the subscription page and all applicable taxes. Each Seller Account is fully response for all charges incurred by any Paid Users associated with such account. All payments must be made in US Dollars. If you choose to be invoiced, payments are due thirty (30) days after the invoice date. If you choose to pay by credit card or debit card, the fees shall be charged to the account you provide us through the billing page. You agree that you will pay for all transactions you conduct through the Site or Services and that Brandboom may charge your credit card or payment account as provided by you when registering for an account, including any taxes and late fees, as applicable, that may be accrued by or in connection with your account. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing Brandboom with a valid credit card or payment account for payment of all fees at all times.

ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, SUBJECT TO APPLICATION LAW.

Fees for optional add-on services (“Add-On Services”) are listed in Brandboom’s Plans & Pricing page (https://www.brandboom.com/pricing). Payment terms for such fees are set forth in the applicable Addendum.

2.6 Delinquent Payments.

Delinquent payments may accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if less) from the date such payment was due until the date paid. Paid Account holders will be responsible for any costs incurred by Brandboom in collecting delinquent amounts. Brandboom may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate the payment obligations of a delinquent Paid Account so that such amounts are immediately due and payable, and suspend access to the Seller Account until such amounts are paid in full. Any account that has been suspended for a period longer than 30 days are subject to Account Termination as defined in section 2.8.

2.7 Account Security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all of your Account usernames and passwords. You agree to notify Brandboom immediately if you believe that an Account has been compromised.

2.8 Cancellation by You.

You may cancel any Account registered to you at any time by following the instructions on the Site.

2.9 Effect of Account Termination or Cancellation.

If you voluntarily terminate an Account or allow that Account to lapse at the end of its term, you may reactivate that Account at any time through the account interface on the Site. Accounts terminated by Brandboom for any type of abuse, including without limitation a violation of this ToS, may not be reactivated. In the event that you cancel a Seller Account:

(a) you are responsible for the balance of all unpaid fees under that Seller Account, which shall become immediately due and payable on the date of cancellation; and (b) Brandboom has no obligation to maintain the Content (defined in Section 4.1) you have uploaded to and created on the Services.

Addendum – Brandboom Payments and Slope Net 60

Net 60 Terms – Buyers

How it Works

Buyers have the option to utilize Net 60 finance terms through our business partner, Slope, when making a purchase. Buyers acknowledge and consent to providing requested information by Brandboom and/or Slope to determine whether the buyer is eligible to utilize the Net 60 finance terms. Buyers shall be subject to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy of Slope. The Net 60 finance terms creates a pre-approved credit line that the buyer may utilize for purchasing goods. Any determination of the pre-approved credit line is final and is not subject to appeal, review, or modification. Should the seller accept the Net 60 finance terms as a payment method from a buyer, the Net 60 finance terms will become effective when the goods are marked shipped by the seller and confirmed by the carrier that goods are in their possession and in transit. 60 days from the date the goods are marked shipped, Slope will either charge the buyer’s credit card (on file or execute an ACH transfer from the bank account information on file at the time of the registration for Net 60 finance terms).

Buyer Eligibility

New buyers or existing Brandboom customers who have not yet registered their account for Net 60 terms will be required to provide business information including, but not limited to, EIN, business address, or permits.

For existing Brandboom customers, our business partner, Slope, will conduct a real-time credit assessment to determine whether a buyer may utilize Net 60 finance terms to purchase goods from a seller. If the buyer is approved, the buyer may utilize the Net 60 finance terms as a payment method. A buyer will have an approved Net 60 credit line, and if a buyer reaches or exceeds the credit limit, the buyer will not be able to use the Net 60 credit terms until the buyer has paid and/or paid off any outstanding balance.

For new buyers on Brandboom, a Brandboom representative will collect relevant business information and ask buyer for any additional information in order to make a determination whether the buyer is eligible to utilize the Net 60 finance terms. In the event the buyer is not eligible for Net 60 finance terms, the buyer will still be allowed to browse line sheets and make purchases using other acceptable payment methods (e.g., cash or credit card payments made directly to sellers).

Buyer Obligations

Buyers acknowledge and agree that they will maintain and promptly update their credit card or bank account information (for example, a change in billing address or update credit card information upon expiration) on file with Slope. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Brandboom may provide information about the Buyer or directly contact the buyer to assist Slope in collecting any outstanding buyer debt.

Returns and Dispute Resolution

Buyers may submit product return requests using the Brandboom Return Authorization (“RA”) widget. For those transactions that do not utilize Net 60 finance terms, Brandboom is not directly involved in a transaction between buyers and sellers, and in the unlikely event that your transaction does not go as expected, we encourage you to contact the other party to try and resolve the issue. Brandboom is not obligated to adjudicate any dispute between the parties.

For those transactions utilizing Net 60 finance terms, a buyer must first attempt to resolve the return request with the seller via the RA widget. If the buyer is not satisfied with the RA outcome, the buyer may submit a dispute with Brandboom. Brandboom will request each party to provide all relevant information regarding the transaction, the issue with the product, and other communications and information regarding the transaction between the parties. After receiving the information from the parties, Brandboom may request additional information we need to review the dispute. To the extent that Brandboom attempts to resolve such disputes: (a) Brandboom does so in good faith and based solely on its policies and Brandboom will not make judgments regarding legal issues or claims, and (b) each affected party shall promptly respond (in any event within 3 calendar days) to all requests from Brandboom as well as cooperate with Brandboom with respect to any such dispute. Brandboom will then determine how the dispute should be resolved, including, without limitation, issuing a refund from the seller’s Brandboom account or bank account on file, withholding funds in the seller’s account, or reversing a sale or requiring the buyer to pay for the items in question.

BUYER RELEASES BRANDBOOM AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES, GOODS, OR ANY DECISION MADE THORUGH THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, INCLUDING FOR NON-PERFORMANCE, DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, MISREPRESENTATIONS BY A SELLER, OR PRODUCTS THAT CAUSED PHYSICAL INJURY (LIKE PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS).

Net 60 Terms – Sellers

How it Works

Sellers have the option to accept Net 60 finance terms as a payment method as part of Brandboom Payments. The Net 60 finance terms creates a pre-approved credit line that the buyer may utilize for purchasing goods from a seller. Should a seller accept the Net 60 finance terms as a payment method, the seller will be issued payment (less Brandboom’s transaction fee) when (1) the seller issues a final invoice and (2) goods are marked “shipped” in Brandboom. The “shipped’ status requires (1) a valid tracking number that is verified against a Shippo (or other third party) API for carriers and tracking numbers and (2) the order status is picked up by a carrier, dropped off with a carrier, or otherwise in the carrier’s possession.. Once Brandboom has confirmed that these conditions are met, Brandboom will issue payment to the seller within up to 5 business days.

If a seller explicitly rejects Net 60 finance terms, a buyer will not be provided this payment option. If a seller decides to approve or reject transactions on an individual basis, the seller will continue to receive payment requests via Net 60 finance terms even if the seller has not registered or been approved to receive Net 60 payments.

SELLERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BRANDBOOM’S TRANSACTION FEE WILL BE 10% ON A PER ORDER BASIS OR AS PROVIDED ON THE ORDER BEFORE ACCEPTANCE.

Seller Eligibility

To participate, sellers must (1) opt-in to accept Brandboom Payments; and (2) sellers must be approved for creditworthiness. Seller creditworthiness may be based on a creditworthiness check by Stripe Connect, seller’s transaction history on Brandboom, or other information provided by the seller to Brandboom. This process is not a credit inquiry from one of the three credit reporting agencies. Any determination of a seller’s creditworthiness and ability to participate in the Net 60 Terms is made in Brandboom’s sole discretion.

Returns and Dispute Resolution

For those transactions that do not utilize Net 60 finance terms, Brandboom is not directly involved in a transaction between buyers and sellers, and in the unlikely event that the transaction does not go as expected, we encourage you to contact the other party to try and resolve the issue. Brandboom is not obligated to adjudicate any dispute between the parties.

For those transactions utilizing Net 60 finance terms, sellers must make reasonable and utilize best efforts to provide a resolution to a buyer should the seller receive a Return Authorization (“RA”) request. If the buyer is not satisfied with the RA outcome and submits a dispute with Brandboom, Brandboom will request each party to provide all relevant information regarding the transaction, the issue with the product, and other communications and information regarding the transaction between the parties. After receiving the information from the parties, Brandboom may request additional information we need to review the dispute. To the extent that Brandboom attempts to resolve such disputes: (a) Brandboom does so in good faith and based solely on its policies and Brandboom will not make judgments regarding legal issues or claims, and (b) each affected party shall promptly respond (in any event within 3 calendar days) to all requests from Brandboom as well as cooperate with Brandboom with respect to any such dispute. Brandboom will then determine, in its sole discretion, how the dispute should be resolved, including, without limitation, issuing a refund from the seller’s Brandboom account, issuing a refund by seller outside the seller’s Brandboom account, reducing the amount of a Net 60 loan, or reversing a sale or requiring the buyer to pay for the items in question. Depending upon the selected method of return, sellers also may be responsible for transaction fees required to process a return.

SELLER RELEASES BRANDBOOM AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES, GOODS, OR ANY DECISION MADE THORUGH THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, INCLUDING FOR NON-PERFORMANCE, MISREPRESENTATIONS BY A BUYER, OR PRODUCTS THAT CAUSED PHYSICAL INJURY (LIKE PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS).

7. No Collection of Children’s Personal Information

Persons under the age of 18 may not use the Brandboom Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13, and no part of the website is designed to attract anyone under the age of 13. Because we do not intentionally collect any information from children under the age of 13, we also do not knowingly share or disclose such information to third parties.

We reserve the right to delete any information we believe to be in violation of this Privacy Policy.

8. Data Security

We use standard, industry-wide, commercially reasonable security practices such as encryption, firewalls and SSL (Secure Socket Layers) for protecting your information – such as any portions of your credit card number which we retain to process transactions you request. Please note that data that is transported over an open network, such as the Internet or e-mail, may be accessible to anybody. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any information via an open network, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to others, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, while individual data packets are often encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace an existing bank account or relationship or one that is subsequently created. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. Password-protected areas of the Brandboom Service can be accessed only with a valid user name and password. Each password owner is responsible for keeping the password confidential and safe, as Brandboom has no control or responsibility for this type of User information. If the password may have been stolen or might otherwise be misused, it is the responsibility of the password owner to notify Brandboom immediately for further action. Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorized parties. We do not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your information or data during its transfer via Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.

9. Brandboom’s Right to Amend this Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on the Services prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

10. Users Outside of the United State

If you are located anywhere outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including, Personal Information, will be transferred to, processed and stored in the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your Personal Information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States.
