MERCHANT PARTNER

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

The purpose of this page of information is to provide details of the Merchant Agreement ("Agreement") between Store-One.com ("STORE-ONE") and the Merchant Partner ("MERCHANT" or "you") to sell products and/or services ("ITEMS") on the Store-One web site. It applies to the purchase of all services (collectively, the "Services") provided by STORE-ONE and ordered by MERCHANT as set forth in the related order form incorporated herein by reference (together with any subsequent order forms submitted by MERCHANT, the "Order Form").

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY PLACING AN ORDER FOR STORE-ONE SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING STORE-ONE'S USAGE POLICY. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. STORE-ONE reserves the right to reject this Agreement for any reason or no reason, prior to acceptance thereof by STORE-ONE. Activation of the Services shall indicate STORE-ONE's acceptance of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, STORE-ONE will provide to MERCHANT the Services selected by MERCHANT set forth in the Order Form.

 

USAGE POLICY:

Under this Agreement, MERCHANT shall comply with STORE-ONE's then current "Usage Policy", as amended, modified or updated from time to time by STORE-ONE, which currently can be viewed at http://www.store-one.com/mp01/mpusage.asp, and which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. MERCHANT hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the Usage Policy and that the terms of the Usage Policy are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Usage Policy, the terms of the Usage Policy shall govern. STORE-ONE does not intend to systematically monitor the content which is submitted to, stored on or distributed or disseminated by MERCHANT via the Service (the "Merchant Content"). Merchant Content includes, but is not limited to, content of MERCHANT's information, data, and graphics displayed on the STORE-ONE website. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, STORE-ONE may immediately take corrective action, including removal of all or a portion of the Merchant Content, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement in the event of notice of possible violation by MERCHANT of the Usage Policy. In the event STORE-ONE takes corrective action due to a violation of the Usage Policy, STORE-ONE shall not refund to MERCHANT any fees paid in advance of such corrective action. MERCHANT hereby agrees that STORE-ONE shall have no liability to MERCHANT or any of MERCHANT's MERCHANTs due to any corrective action that STORE-ONE may take (including, without limitation, disconnection or discontinuation of Services).

 

AMENDMENT:

STORE-ONE may amend, modify or update this Agreement or the Usage Policy at any time in its sole discretion, and MERCHANT shall be bound by any such amendment, modification or update. STORE-ONE may, but is under no obligation to, provide notice of any amendment, modification or update of this Agreement or the Usage Policy. Any modification is effective on the earlier of two days after posting on STORE-ONE's website or two days after the sending of a notice by STORE-ONE to MERCHANT by e-mail or conventional mail. If any material modification to this Agreement or the Usage Policy is unacceptable to MERCHANT, MERCHANT may terminate the Agreement as provided in the TERMINATION Section. However, if MERCHANT does not terminate the Agreement, or if MERCHANT continues to use the Services following effectiveness of the modification, MERCHANT's continued use will mean that you have accepted that modification. STORE-ONE reserves the right to amend its service offerings and add, delete, suspend or modify the terms and conditions of the Services, at any time and from time to time, and to determine whether and when any such changes apply to both existing and future MERCHANTs.

 

TERM; TERMINATION:

The initial term of this Agreement shall be three (3) months (the "Initial Term"). The Initial Term shall begin upon commencement of the Services to MERCHANT. After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of one (1) month , unless terminated or cancelled by either party as provided in this section. The Initial Term and all successive renewal periods shall be referred to, collectively, as the "Term".

This Agreement may be terminated (i) by either party by giving the other party 30 days prior written notice (subject to any cancellation fee as provided below), (ii) by STORE-ONE in the event of nonpayment by MERCHANT, (iii) by STORE-ONE, at any time, without notice, if, in STORE-ONE's judgment, MERCHANT is in violation of any term or condition of the Usage Policy or this Agreement, or MERCHANT's use of the Service disrupts or, in STORE-ONE's judgment, could disrupt, STORE-ONE's business operations and (iv) by STORE-ONE in accordance with the Usage Policy.

If MERCHANT cancels this Agreement prior to the end of the Term, (i) MERCHANT shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation, (ii) STORE-ONE shall refund to MERCHANT all pre-paid fees for any period remaining after effectiveness of cancellation (however, no partial month fees shall be refunded), less any setup fees and any discount applied for prepayment, (iii) MERCHANT shall be obligated to pay 100% of all charges for all Services for each month remaining in the Term and (iii) STORE-ONE shall have the right to charge an early cancellation fee of $10.00.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

MERCHANT understands, acknowledges and agrees that if STORE-ONE takes any corrective action under this Agreement because of an action of MERCHANT or one if its MERCHANTs, that corrective action may adversely affect other MERCHANTs of MERCHANT, and MERCHANT agrees that STORE-ONE shall have no liability to MERCHANT, or any of its MERCHANTs due to such corrective action by STORE-ONE.
