Online Marketplace Payment Service. IN ORDER TO SELL ITEMS IN THE ONLINE
MARKETPLACE, YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE ONLINE MARKETPLACE AND USE THE
SUPPLIED/PERMITTED METHOD OF PAYMENT FULLFILLMENT SERVICE ("Payment Service").
1. The method of payment set forth serves to facilitate the purchase of Seller
items listed on the Site. A Buyer's authorized credit card payment ("Payment
Transaction") is credited through the accepted credit card provider; the
purchase is then listed and made viewable on the registered Seller's account
("Seller's Control Panel"). All moneys owed the seller minus fees, commissions,
applicable taxes etc. will be completed through the Online Marketplace account
group. Eligible Buyers may elect to purchase an Online Marketplace gift
certificate directly from the Online Marketplace which is acceptable legal
tender within the Online Marketplace. In this case the seller would submit the
gift certificate “code number” to the Online Marketplace account group for
redemption of owed payment. The method of payment helps facilitate Online
Marketplace transactions and has no connection to or as the purchaser of the
Seller's goods. Seller will resolve any dispute directly with Buyer not through
the method of payment. Seller must register with the Online Marketplace to
successfully purchase goods/service within the Online Marketplace. You must
provide us true and accurate information when registering and must maintain and
update that information as applicable. Seller will not impersonate any person or
use a name he or she is not legally authorized to use. Seller must be 18 years
old or older at time of agreement. Seller authorizes us to verify his or her
information (including any updated information).
a. The purchase of goods/services within the Online Marketplace is available
only to individuals and others who meet the terms of service/eligibility for the
Online Marketplace selling community, who have been issued a credit card by a
United States bank, and whose applications are acceptable to the Online
Marketplace, its parent companies and subsidiaries. Payment Transactions are
facilitated via accepted credit providers or Online Marketplace gift
certificates, which are subject to Online Marketplace Terms and Conditions.
b. The Online Marketplace is generally available seven (7) days per week,
twenty-four (24) hours per day, except for scheduled downtime due to system
maintenance. We will send a receipt to Seller via e-mail for each completed
transaction. In addition, Seller can access his or her Payment Service
transaction information within their Online Marketplace account control panel
when logged on with your created seller’s password.
c. All order balances will be reflected in the Seller's Account Summary located
on the registered sellers account control panel accessed via the registered
Seller's password. The Online Marketplace will initiate payment to the seller
via mailed paper company check after we receive and process the initial buyer
payment. (30 day cycle)
d. The UrbanSpotlite Website will
provide a full refund directly to any Buyer who remits payment. If the item
cannot be shipped at the close of the sale, Seller must provide the refund
promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days following the close of the
sale.
e. As a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction
limits on some or all Buyers and Sellers relating to the value of any
transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or
disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or
other period of time. We will not be liable to Seller: (i) if we do not proceed
with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us
for a security reason.
f. If we reasonably conclude based on information available to us that Sellers
actions and/or performance in connection with the Services may result in a
significant number of Buyer disputes, charge backs or other claims, we reserve
the right to delay Payment to a Seller beyond the standard 30 day time period;
following the initial date of suspension or completion of an investigation
regarding Buyer disputes, charge backs or other claims.
g. We reserve the right to delay payment to a Seller pending an investigation if
we, in our sole discretion, believe Buyer or Seller may have violated the Terms
of Service. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Participation Agreement,
if we determine, in our sole discretion, that Seller has violated this
Participation Agreement, we may refuse to deliver a Payment and may instead
maintain the amount of such payment in a trust account or may return the amount
of the payment to Buyer. We will not be liable to Seller if we act in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.
h. All notices will be sent by e-mail. We will send notices to Seller at the
e-mail address maintained in the Online Marketplace records for Seller. Seller
will monitor his or her e-mail messages frequently to ensure awareness of any
notices sent by us. Seller will send notices to us at the following address:
sellers@UrbanSpotlite.com
