Seller Terms of Service

Seller Terms of Services
Thank you for choosing iShopShops, Inc. for your business (“you” or the “Seller”). iShopShops, Inc. (“ShopShops,” “we” “us,” or “our”) makes available an interactive streaming e-commerce platform (“Platform”) that facilitates the sales of goods and merchandise and connects merchants, hosts, and other sellers like you with consumers.
These Seller Terms of Services (“TOS”) apply to merchants, hosts, and others offering or selling goods and merchandise using the Platform and set out the general terms and conditions on which ShopShops offers you access to and use of our websites, Platform, applications, and services, including core and non-core services (collectively, the “Services”). You the Seller may be a “Merchant” or “Host” as applicable to your business and use of our Services, as and if applicable to you and further defined in the Agreement. Use of our mobile application will also be subject to a separate mobile application end user license agreement (the “Mobile Application Agreement”) and some Services will be subject to Supplemental Terms (as defined below). If you and ShopShops have entered into a Merchant Seller Onboarding Form (the “MSOF”) or a Host Seller Agreement (the “HSA”) then the provisions of such MSOF or HSA will also apply to you. The “Agreement” means these TOS, the Mobile Application Agreement, the Supplemental Terms, and the MSOF or HSA, in each case as and if applicable to you and your use of the Services. Access and use of the Services are also subject to your compliance with ShopShops’ Documentation on our website or otherwise provided to you. By executing a MSOF or HSA or clicking the button “I Confirm” or a similar button, or registering for, or accessing or using the Services, Seller enters into a legally binding agreement with ShopShops and agrees to accept and be bound to the Agreement.
Any individual purporting to represent a Seller entity, represents and warrants that it is authorized to enter into the Agreement on behalf of the Seller entity it identifies, and form a legally binding agreement pursuant to the Agreement. THE AGREEMENT IS BINDING ON Seller AND SHOPSHOPS, AND THESE TOS INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE UNDER WHICH CERTAIN CLAIMS MAY NOT BE BROUGHT INTO COURT OR DECIDED BY A JURY. PLEASE READ THESE TOS CAREFULLY.
  1. Nature of the Services.
  Overview. The Services are designed to facilitate Seller and its authorized employees, agents, contractors and representatives (collectively, “Agents”) in marketing, promoting, selling and distributing goods and merchandise (the “Goods”) to end consumers, subject to the Agreement and our policies, guides, and manuals as updated and amended from time to time (“Documentation”). The Services also are designed to facilitate the hosting of livestreaming show(s) (“Live Shows”) created by a Seller that is a Host using the Services where consumers can view, order, and pay for Goods (e.g., sold by Hosts that are the Seller instead of directly by the Merchant). The Services may also permit Sellers to post, create, upload, store, broadcast and/or transmit certain information or other content (which may include user credentials for Agents, logos, trademarks, data, texts, messages, voice recordings, photos, video or other materials or content) (“Seller Materials”). In connection with the Services, ShopShops may use third-party payment processing companies to collect payment from consumers.
  Core and Non-core Services. All Sellers may access and use the core Services made available by us as described on the Platform, subject to the terms of the Agreement. Seller may elect to receive certain non-core Services offered by ShopShops, subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and fees as specified on the Platform or the Agreement. Seller’s use, or registering to use, such non-core Services constitutes your agreement to be bound to the Supplemental Terms and pay any fees relating to such non-core Services. If these TOS are inconsistent with such Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such non-core Services. Non-core services may include Services selected by you on a MSOF or in other written documentation with ShopShops. We may add new non-core Services or discontinue offering any non-core Services, in whole or in part, in our discretion, at any time unless expressly agreed otherwise in the Agreement.
  Shipment and Delivery. Unless we expressly agree in writing to ship Goods for Seller or sponsor shipping costs or provide shipping services, Seller will ship Goods through transportation and shipping carriers of its choice. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any carriers, including any loss or damage to Goods. As between the Parties, Seller is responsible for all risk of loss or damage relating to the Goods. Re-processing and re-fulfilling orders will be at the discretion of the Seller. In the event of loss or damage to Goods, prior to and during transportation, caused by Seller or Seller’s selected shipping carrier, ShopShops, in its sole discretion, may refund consumers and Chargeback the Seller. In the event of processing, fulfillment, shipment, and in-transit/transportation delays caused by Seller or Seller’s selected shipping carriers, including, but not limited to: 1) delayed fulfillment of order 2) severe delay at carrier fulfillment centers 2) customs and import related delay 4) transportation delay while en-route, ShopShops, in its sole discretion, may refund Consumers and Chargeback the Seller. Seller will bear the responsibility of issuing claims with its selected shipping carriers. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller must ship out ordered items within three (3) business days of order confirmation and delivery must not exceed ten (10) calendar days for domestic order in-transit time or twenty-one (21) calendar days for international order in-transit time including clearing customs. Business days are defined as Monday through Friday and exclude weekends and holidays. If Seller fails to deliver Goods within the time frame(s) in this Section, ShopShops, in its sole discretion, may process a refund for the consumer and initiate a Chargeback to the Seller for original order value plus inspection, testing, shipping, handling, and transportation fees or expenses incurred by ShopShops.
  Services and Returns. Unless we expressly agree in writing to take responsibility for cancellations, returns and refunds, Seller will be responsible for canceling any purchases of Goods or the return of Goods from a consumer in exchange for a full or partial refund or exchange, as determined by Seller. Seller must complete all cancellations and refunds through the Seller APP. ShopShops, in its sole discretion, may issue or deny a refund to a consumer in the event of a dispute in which a consumer claims that the Goods were not presented properly, including, but not limited to: (a) quality issues; (b) misrepresentation of the Goods; or (c) fraudulent or counterfeit Goods when presented with credible evidence. As provided for in the Agreement, on behalf of the Seller, we may retrieve and temporarily withhold the applicable Goods, and we will Chargeback Seller for storage, testing, shipping, handling, and transportation fees or expenses incurred by us. In the case that U.S. Customs or any U.S. or non-U.S. authority requests information, documents and/or other evidence regarding any exportation or importation of any Goods or other compliance matters or such information is required for legal reasons or to address, mitigate, or determine taxes or duties on returns or other transactions, the parties will work in good faith, in a timely manner, to provide said evidence to said agencies. Any refunded duties and taxes in relation to a return which were paid at the time of purchase by the consumer will be refunded to such consumer by ShopShops on behalf of the Seller using the means of payment utilized for the initial collection of such duties and taxes.
  Prohibited Goods. Seller will ensure that it does not promote, market, offer, sell, or ship any Goods (i) not legally allowed to be sold, including alcohol, tobacco, non-medical or pharmaceutical drugs, firearms, weapons, explosives, high-risk items, or Goods subject to import/export control licenses or restrictions; (ii) made from any type of live animal or endangered species that is in the list of species protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species; (iii) that fall into one or more of the nine United Nations hazard classes; (iv) that are classified as fish or wildlife as determined by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife department or other legal authority; (v) that are perishable according to any U.S. federal, U.S. State, or other applicable transportation authority; (vi) incorrectly labelled or packaged or subject to false or illegal claims; (vii) that infringe or misappropriate the rights of a third party or are subject to an injunction or court order prohibiting the sale or shipment thereof; (viii) pornographic or violent materials, including such materials relating to minors which will result in an automatic termination of the Agreement; or (ix) counterfeit products that infringe on another entity’s copyright, trademark, brand name, or brand logo (collectively, “Prohibited Goods”). ShopShops will have the right to refuse any Services with respect to any Prohibited Goods, and Seller will indemnify and hold harmless ShopShops for any damages, losses and liabilities that ShopShops may suffer arising from or in connection with such Prohibited Goods.
  Cloud Services and Third-Party Services. Without limitation of the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees as follows: (a) we provide the Services using cloud computing services of one or more third-party cloud providers (collectively, the “Cloud Providers”); and (b) we shall not be responsible or liable for any act, omission or failure of any Cloud Provider. The Services may depend upon, interaction with or enable access to third parties’ information, other content, services or websites (“Third Party Services”), which may in each case be accompanied by separate terms of use. Use of each Third-Party Services may require that Seller accepts additional terms of use. Seller must comply with the applicable terms of use when using the Third-Party Services and the Services. ShopShops does not endorse, and hereby disclaims all liability or responsibility to Seller or any other person for, any Third-Party Services.
  Social Media. From time-to-time, we may offer functionality on the Services permitting Seller to connect the Services to Seller’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media accounts (“Social Media Accounts”). If Seller chooses to connect Seller’s ShopShops account with any Social Media Accounts, Seller will be able to take advantage of various social features ShopShops may already have or will be creating, as part of the Services, as well as features available on such Social Media Accounts. These features will generally be designed to share information with others. For example, Seller’s friends and others who have access to view information about Seller on Facebook may be able to see (on Facebook and on the Services) that Seller are a user of the Services, and other information about Seller’s use of the Services. Seller may also be able to see similar information about Seller’s Facebook friends who are users of the Services. Please pay careful attention to Seller’s relevant Social Media Account settings in Seller’s Services account as well as Sellers privacy settings in Seller’s Social Media Accounts which will impact this feature, when available, and may give Seller some control over the information that is shared and with whom it is shared. BY CONNECTING Seller’S SERVICES ACCOUNT TO ANY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, Seller ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREE THAT Seller IS CONSENTING TO THE CONTINUOUS RELEASE OF INFORMATION ABOUT Seller TO OTHERS, INCLUDING TO THE RELEVANT SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT (IN ACCORDANCE WITH Seller’S PRIVACY SETTINGS ON SUCH SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT AND Seller’S SETTINGS ON THE SERVICES). IF Seller DOES NOT WANT INFORMATION ABOUT Seller TO BE SHARED IN THIS MANNER, PLEASE NOTIFY SHOPSHOPS VIA THE “DELETE ACCOUNT” BUTTON UNDER THE SETTINGS MENU WITHIN THE SERVICES. ShopShops and social media sites are continually making changes and improvements to this feature, and therefore the available features and information that are shared may change from time to time. These changes may take place without notice to Seller and may not be described in the Agreement.

  Registration. In order to use certain Services, Seller may be required to provide us with its and its authorized Agents’ contact and other information including full legal name, email address, mailing address, phone number, social media handles, or other information and create a password and register with us. We may also request additional information. Seller represents and warrants that it will provide us with accurate, current and complete registration information. Seller is responsible for keeping all such credentials and passwords issued to its Agents confidential and secure.
  1. Fees and Economic Terms.
  Services Fee. In consideration of the Services, ShopShops’ shall be entitled to commissions, fees, and other amounts as identified on a MSOF OR HSA, which are subject to change from time to time in the sole discretion of ShopShops, and any applicable MSOF or HSA between you and ShopShops (collectively “ShopShops Total Fees”), including: (i) the commissions on what the consumer paid (the “Commission”), (ii) any ancillary fees, costs, or expenses ShopShops incurs in connection with the transactions relating to the Agreement, including shipping and handling, taxes, duties, import/export, payment processing, currency fluctuations or exchanges, coupons, or other similar fees, costs, or expenses (“Other Costs”), unless directly paid by the consumer, and (iii) costs or losses associated with chargebacks (unless ShopShops has expressly agreed to be responsible for such chargebacks) (“Chargebacks”). A MSOF or HSA executed by you and ShopShops may include discounts or further details specific to your Services as provided in such MSOF or HSA.
  Deduction from Amounts Collected. Amounts collected from what the consumer paid include the sale price of the Goods sold, shipping and credit card processing fees, and will be reduced by any collected taxes before calculating ShopShops Commission. ShopShops will determe the Total Fees, including Commissions, Other Costs, and Chargebacks, before Seller is paid the balance owed to Seller in connection with any sale. If ShopShops sponsors a coupon for Seller, ShopShops will take Commission on the reduced sale price to benefit Seller. If Seller sponsors a coupon, ShopShops will take Commission on the original price of the Goods, not reduced by the Seller sponsored coupon. If Other Costs or Chargebacks are subsequently incurred by ShopShops, ShopShops may deduct or set-off such amounts from future amounts due to Seller (or Seller will pay such amount directly to ShopShops, as and if requested). Seller acknowledges and agrees that Chargebacks may not be known for several months after Goods are shipped, and the parties will collaborate to mitigate Chargebacks.
  Seller Payment Information. Seller will provide ShopShops payment information for payment to be completed as specified in the MSOF or HSA or selected by Seller in the Services. The Seller payment information will be utilized by ShopShops to remit amounts due to Seller, less ShopShops Total Fees, including Commissions, Other Costs, and Chargebacks. Seller is responsible for any third party payment service or transaction fees.
  Taxes. If any Services, or payments for any Goods or Services, under this Agreement, are subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction, ShopShops may charge, collect, and remit such Sales Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, “Sales Tax” includes any sales or use, value added, or similar tax or amount, and any other tax or amount measured by sales proceeds or assessed by a governmental or taxing authority in any jurisdiction. ShopShops may automatically charge and withhold such taxes or other amounts as deemed necessary by ShopShops. In no event is ShopShops responsible for taxes owned by any consumers or Seller or any tax related interest or penalty, other than taxes on ShopShops’ income or for amounts which ShopShops collects but fails to remit. Seller will indemnify ShopShops for any claims, interest, or penalties relating to taxes which ShopShops is not expressly responsible under this Section.
  Transaction Processing Fees. A per transaction processing fee (“Transaction Processing Fees”) occurs each time an electronic payment for a customer transaction takes place. All Transaction Processing Fees shall be deducted from Gross Revenue before ShopShops takes its fee.
  1. Intellectual Property.
  ShopShops’ Property. All right, title, and interest in and to ShopShops’ Property (including all related patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, intellectual property and other ownership rights) are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of ShopShops (or its licensors). Any derivative works, modifications, enhancements, or customizations relating to the ShopShops’ Property (whether created alone by either party or jointly by or on behalf of both parties or their representatives or otherwise) will be solely and exclusively owned by ShopShops. Seller hereby assigns to ShopShops any rights, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights in any feedback, suggestions, ideas, derivative works, modifications, enhancements, or improvements related to ShopShops’ Property that Seller or any of its users or representatives provide, propose, create, conceive, author or develop relating their use of the Services. Seller will execute and deliver (or cause its representatives to execute and deliver) any additional documents deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate to perfect, maintain, protect, or enforce Seller’s rights and the intent of the Agreement. Seller acknowledges that ShopShops’ Property has been created, compiled, developed and maintained by us at great expense of time and money such that misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use of ShopShops’ Property by others for commercial gain would unfairly and irreparably harm us in a manner for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and Seller consents to our obtaining injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the Agreement, without any requirement to post bond. Seller or its Agents may be subject to criminal or civil penalties for violation of this paragraph. As used herein, “ShopShops’ Property” means collectively, the Services and Documentation, the visual expressions, screen formats, report formats and other design features of the Services, all ideas, methods, algorithms, formulae and concepts used in developing and/or incorporated into the Services, or documentation, all future modifications, revisions, updates, refinements, improvements and enhancements of the Services or documentation, all derivative works (as such term is used in U.S. copyright laws) based upon any of the foregoing, deliverables and work product arising from the Services, and all copies of the foregoing. However, ShopShops’ Property does not include Seller Materials.
  License to use ShopShops’ Property. Subject to the Agreement and Documentation, we grant Seller the non-exclusive, limited, revocable right to access and use ShopShops’ Property solely to the extent necessary for Seller to use the Services the Specified Purpose. We reserve all other rights.
  ShopShops’ Trademarks.

Seller shall use the Marks only in the manner and for purposes authorized by ShopShops and shall ensure that all uses include appropriate copyright and trademark notices. Seller may not use them, or any of our other marks or logos, in any manner, including any use that is likely to cause confusion or that disparages or discredits us, without our consent. The Services may also feature the trademarks, service marks, and logos of third parties, and each owner retains all rights in such marks. Any use of such marks, or any others displayed on the Services, will inure solely to the benefit of their respective owners. In addition to the license granted in this Section 4, ShopShops hereby grants to Seller the non-exclusive, limited right and revocable license to use Marks to promote the Services subject to Seller’s compliance of the Agreement and Documentation. Seller warrants that its use of any Mark shall conform to ShopShops’ then current trademark and logo guidelines, and other ShopShops’ requirements governing the use of Marks as amended from time to time.
  1. Other Propriety Rights.
  Seller Materials. Seller retains its rights in Seller Materials, subject to the rights granted below and our rights in ShopShops’ Property. For clarity, Seller Materials do not include Live Shows, which are subject to this Section 5. Seller hereby grants and agrees to grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully-paid, transferable license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, to copy, edit, modify, adapt, publish, transmit, distribute, prepare derivative works, perform, display, use, and otherwise exploit in any manner, Seller Materials in connection with operation and promotion of the Services and any other purposes reasonably related to the Services or our business. To the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect or support the license granted by Seller above, Seller hereby waives and agrees to waive (or if not waivable, agrees not to assert) any rights of privacy or publicity, or any moral rights or other similar rights, with respect to Seller Materials. Seller also hereby grants and agrees to grant consumers and other users of the Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, copy and use Seller Materials which: (a) Seller or its Agent transmits to such users via the Services or (b) Seller or its Agents post within any public forum or similar area of the Services that is available to such users generally, in each case solely for Seller’s Specified Purpose in accordance with the Agreement. In addition to and without limiting any other rights herein (including in our privacy policy), Seller also grant ShopShops the rights to: (i) de-identify Seller Materials (i.e., to remove Seller’s name and other identifying characteristics, consistent with applicable laws and regulations), (ii) use or disclose de-identified data for any purpose, and (iii) allow us to share de-identified data with third parties. On termination of Seller’s account(s) or the Agreement, we have no obligation to return any Seller Materials to Seller, so Seller should retain copies of Seller Materials for its own purposes. We reserve the right (but are under no obligation) to investigate any claim that Seller’s Materials or Seller’s use of the Services does not conform to the Agreement or Documentation. In the event that we deem, in our sole discretion, any Seller Material to be inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement, Documentation, or any other rules or policies we may publish from time to time, we may remove such Seller Materials from the Services, including incomplete posts, duplicate posts, or any other Seller Materials we deem, in our sole discretion, to be misleading or otherwise inappropriate, or terminate or suspend Seller’s account(s).

Seller shall obtain all necessary consents, waivers, releases, permits, and other authorizations from all necessary persons and entities, including but limited to: (i) all persons who may appear or whose image, likeness or trademarks may appear in the Live Shows, including influencers or any other third parties selected from the Platform, (ii) all locations where Live Shows are filmed, and (iii) all Sellers or other entities whose images or trademarks may appear in the Live Shows, in each case, to the extent necessary or required by applicable law or regulation for ShopShops to perform the Services and broadcast the Live Shows as contemplated hereunder and for Seller to provide ShopShops the rights below. As between the parties, ShopShops is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title, and interest in and to the Live Shows (including all film, photographs, and other recordings, including outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage), including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein or thereto. Seller hereby irrevocably assigns to ShopShops all right, title and interest in and to the Live Shows, including all rights in and to any intellectual property rights embodied in Live Shows or developed in the course of the creation of the Live Shows and will cause all applicable individuals and entities to grant or waive any moral or other rights they may have in or to the Live Shows for ShopShops to have and exercise the rights contemplated in this Section. Subject to Seller’s compliance with the Agreement, ShopShops hereby grants Seller a non-exclusive, limited and revocable license to download, use, perform and display Live Shows (i) in connection with its Specified Purpose on the Platform, or (ii) on third-party websites or mobile applications, on the condition that Seller keeps any trademark, copyright notices, legends or watermarks intact.
  Publicity. ShopShops shall have the right to use Seller’s name and logo on Seller lists published on the Platform and in marketing materials. ShopShops may announce the relationship hereunder in a press release provided that ShopShops obtains Seller’s prior approval of the wording of the release (not unreasonably withheld).
  1. Term; Termination.
  Termination. The term of the Agreement commences on the date Seller accepts the Agreement, or uses the Services, and remain in full force and effect for the entirety of Seller’s use of the Services. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to suspend or terminate Seller’s account or terminate the Agreement if we reasonably suspect that: (a) Seller or any of its Agents breached or defaulted under any term of the Agreement; (b) Seller’s use of the Services or ShopShops’ Property poses significant risks to ShopShops’ reputation or systems or other users of the Services; or (c) Seller or any of its Agents’ use of ShopShops’ Property violates applicable laws or Documentation. We may also terminate Seller’s account or the Agreement, in whole or in part, at our convenience.

The provisions of the Agreement that are required or intended to survive (including payment, indemnity, limitation of liability, intellectual property, confidentiality etc.) to give each party the rights and benefits reasonably contemplated will survive any termination or expiration.

Seller represents and warrants that: (a) it is in good standing, has all licenses, regulatory approvals, permits, and powers legally required to conduct its business, and has the power, authority and legal right to execute and perform its obligations under the Agreement; (b) the execution or consummation of the Agreement will not breach any of Seller’s obligations under any contract to which Seller is a party or violate applicable law; (c) it has the right to sell and distribute the Goods as contemplated under the Agreement, and all Goods are and will be free from any defects in workmanship, material, and design, conform to applicable specifications and other requirements communicated to ShopShops or consumers, be fit for their intended purpose and operate as intended, be Merchantable, be conveyed with good title, free and clear of all liens, security interests, or other encumbrances, and be original, legitimate and genuine quality products, which are procured from legitimate channels in accordance with all legal requirements; (d) the Goods and any related packaging, conform fully to any applicable laws, rules and regulations (including intellectual property laws and applicable consumer goods certifications in the country or other jurisdiction to which such Goods are shipped); (e) it owns all proprietary rights in Seller Materials or, with respect to any of Seller Materials it does not own, that it has the full authority and right to create, upload, store and/or transmit Seller Materials, and to grant the licenses and rights it granted in the Agreement; and (f) the creation, uploading, storage and/or transmission of Seller Materials, and the exercise by ShopShops and consumers of the licenses and rights granted by Seller herein, shall not infringe any third party intellectual property or proprietary rights, nor violate any rights of privacy or publicity, nor be defamatory, libelous, vulgar, profane or obscene, nor violate any law or other right, privilege or interest of any third party. Seller will honor and pass-through to ShopShops, if necessary, all warranties relating to the Goods so ShopShops may provide the same to consumers.

SHOPSHOPS MAY PAUSE OR INTERRUPT THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME, AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT PERIODIC DOWNTIME FOR UPDATES TO THE SERVICES. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY OTHER WARRANTY.
  Third-Party Activities. By using the Services, Seller agrees that the sole remedy for any damage or harm inflicted by a third-party using the Services (including consumers and influencers) will be limited to claims against such third party, and that Seller will not seek monetary damages or any other remedy from us in connection with such events. Seller agrees that we are not responsible for any use or disclosure of Seller Materials by other users of the Services or any third-party who gains access to it through the Services (which may include unintended activities by third-parties, such as by hackers). SHOPSHOPS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY USERS OF THE SERVICES OR THIRD-PARTIES.
  1. Limitations of Liability.

Seller agrees that the arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, unless the AAA or the arbitrator shall determine that venue in such city is unreasonably burdensome, in which case the AAA or the arbitrator shall select a venue that is not unreasonably burdensome to both Seller and us. Seller agrees that, if the AAA shall be unavailable or decline to administer the arbitration, and the parties do not agree on a substitute, a substitute administrator or arbitrator shall be appointed by the court. The arbitrator may render early or summary disposition of some or all issues, after the parties have had a reasonable opportunity to make submissions on these issues. At ShopShops’ option, this provision shall not apply to claims of patent, trademark, or copyright infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets (collectively, “IP Claims”).

No waiver will be binding on us unless made in an express writing signed by us. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the parties to the greatest extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between us regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter. If there is a direct conflict or inconsistency between these TOS and any MSOF or HSA, the MSOF or HSA takes precedence with respect to the subject matter of such MSOF or HSA.
