Terms Of Service

TERMS OF USE

Parties

1.Goose&Bull LLC and its corporate affiliates: operate the online marketplace Ebon Agora, develop and provide other services and products. In this policy we refer to Goose&Bull LLC as ” Goose&Bull ” or “we” or “us.” We refer to end users as “you” and the entities that list and sell items as “Merchant(s).”

The Marketplace allows sellers (“Merchants”) to list and sell items to end users. When you purchase an item, the contract for sale is solely between you and the Merchant. That means that when you purchase an item on Ebon Agora, you are making a purchase from the Merchant who listed the item and the Merchant is responsible for fulfilling your order.  

2. Services

2.1 Goose&Bull operates marketplaces that allow Merchants and users to share information and complete purchases. Merchants are responsible for their items, their item listings (including any original or strike-through prices), and fulfillment of your order. Merchants may be in your country or region or elsewhere. If they are located elsewhere, this may influence taxes, customs or the applicability of consumer protection rules.

2.2 Although we are not a party to the contract formed between you and a Merchant when you make a purchase, we may assist with payment processing, returns, refunds, and other customer service. Goose&Bull does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of Merchant items or item listings; (ii) the truth or accuracy of any item listing, description or other content provided by Merchants; (iii) the truth or accuracy of ratings, reviews, or other User Submissions; or (iv) the performance or conduct of Merchants or other third parties. Except if we clearly indicate otherwise, Goose&Bull does not endorse any item, or item listing. Please read labels, warnings and directions provided with a purchased item before using it and consider doing your own research prior to making a purchase.

12. Changes to the Services

12.1 We’re always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

13. Costs and Fees

13.1 It is currently free to access and browse the Marketplace and sites and other aspects of the Services. However, you may choose to purchase items through the Services, and you alone will be responsible for paying the purchase price of any items you buy, in addition to any taxes and shipping costs. Goose&Bull may limit or cancel quantities of items purchased, and it reserves the right to refuse any order. In the event Goose&Bull needs to make a change to an order, it will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made. Prices are subject to change at any time. Due to separate and applicable tax jurisdictions, your purchases may be subject to specific sales, use, customs or value-added taxes, and the shipping time and associated cost may increase accordingly. As tax rules evolve, Goose&Bull may calculate and collect taxes applicable to some purchases.  

13.2 Goose&Bull reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain or all Services, in addition to the fees charged for the purchase of items. You shall pay all such fees, as described on the website or Marketplace in connection with such Services selected by you. Goose&Bull reserves the right to change prices and to institute new charges at any time, upon notice to you, which may be sent by email or posted on the Services. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges.

14. Purchases; Pricing

14.1 You are responsible for reading the full item listing before purchasing an item. By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the item(s), as well as all shipping and handling charges and applicable taxes. When a transaction is made pursuant to a shipping contract, the risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon delivery of the products to the carrier.

14.2 You must timely pay all fees or amounts associated with your use of the Services, including for any purchases. YOUR PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN APPLICABLE POLICIES.

14.3 In order to make purchases, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method, such as a credit card, that you are authorized to use. You must promptly update your account with any changes related to your payment method. BY PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR A PAYMENT METHOD, YOU AUTHORIZE GOOSE&BULL OR ITS AGENTS TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD FOR: (A) AMOUNTS DUE FOR PURCHASED ITEMS; (B) ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES; AND (C) ANY OTHER CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

14.4 Each final price is determined by or based on a price supplied by the Merchant offering an item for sale. Merchants provide the other information in the item listings, including any reference or strike-through prices. Merchants are obligated to provide accurate information, but we have no way to guarantee the truth or accuracy of information in item listings. Goose&Bull does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the Merchant actually offered or sold the item at the strike-through price. You should not rely on the strike-through price in connection with making any decision to purchase. If comparison price is an important factor in your purchasing decision, you should do your own research and comparisons before making a purchase.

14.5 Pricing or availability errors may occur from time to time. Goose&Bull reserves the right to cancel any orders containing pricing or availability errors, with no further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice. Pricing for products may be different in different apps or platforms that we operate and also vary based on other factors, including location, time, purchase patterns.

15. Refunds, Exchanges and Related

15.1 We want you to be satisfied with your purchases on this site. If you have a problem with an order or purchase, please contact us as described in the Refund & Returns Policy. You agree that: (i) Goose&Bull may, in accordance with its Refund & Returns Policy, issue a refund to resolve any problems with your order, including the contents of an item listing or the item’s delivery or condition; and (ii) if you wish to pursue any other remedy, you must seek that remedy directly from the applicable Merchant. If you accept a refund, your ability to seek another remedy from the applicable Merchant may be affected.

15.2 Except as described in the Refund & Returns Policy, Goose&Bull cannot refund, reimburse, cover, or otherwise be responsible for any fees, including without limitation those not paid to Goose&Bull, such as customs, taxes as well as any return shipping costs you may incur in the refund process.

16. Ending Our Relationship

16.1 You’re free to stop using the Services at any time. Any unpaid amounts you owe Goose&Bull or Merchants for items purchased will remain due. Goose&Bull is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Goose&Bull has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms. Even after your right to use the Services is terminated, these Terms will remain enforceable against you and unpaid amounts you owe to Goose&Bull or Merchants for items purchased will remain due.

16.2 Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account.

16.3 Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding arbitration and class action waiver.

17. Changes to Terms

17.1 We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we make any material changes, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the Services, by sending you an email, or by some other means. If you do not agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all the changes.

17.2 Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

19.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL GOOSE & BULL (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR (B) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE OR THE PURCHASE AND USE OF ITEMS OFFERED FOR SALE WITHIN THE SERVICES, EVEN IF GOOSE&BULL, ITS SUPPLIERS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.

19.6 WE DO NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE OUR LIABILITY WHERE OR TO THE EXTENT THAT IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. CERTAIN STATE OR NATIONAL LAWS MAY NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU DESPITE THE “GOVERNING LAW” SECTION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THE ABOVE APPLIES ONLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO PREVENT A RIGHT TO RECOVER CERTAIN DAMAGES (INCLUDING PUNITIVE DAMAGES) WHERE A HARMED PERSON PROVES WITH THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE THAT THE HARM SUFFERED WAS THE RESULT OF THE DEFENDANT’S “ACTS OR OMISSIONS AND SUCH ACTS OR OMISSIONS WERE ACTUATED BY ACTUAL MALICE OR ACCOMPANIED BY A WANTON AND WILLFUL DISREGARD OF PERSONS WHO FORESEEABLY MIGHT BE HARMED BY THOSE ACTS OR OMISSIONS.” SIMILARLY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT GOOSE&BULL ‘S TORT LIABILITY UNDER NEW JERSEY LAW RESULTING FROM GOOSE&BULL ‘S OWN INTENTIONAL OR RECKLESS CONDUCT. 

20. Indemnity

20.1 To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Goose&Bull, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services, including without limitation, User Submissions or any actions taken by a third party using your account), (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any rights of another party, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right or any third party agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the  Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

20.2 Goose&Bull reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Goose&Bull in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify Goose&Bull for any unconscionable commercial practice by Goose&Bull or for Goose&Bull ‘s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your account, these Terms or your access to the Services, including the purchase of any items on the Services.

20.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Goose&Bull and its affiliates, and its officers, agents, employees, and partners, harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms.

20.4 If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

20.5 If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

21.2 Assignment

You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Goose&Bull ‘s prior written consent.

22. ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE MOST DISPUTES WITH GOOSE&BULL AND MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

YOU AND GOOSE&BULL AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE MARKETPLACE , ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY OR THROUGH THE MARKETPLACE , THESE TERMS, OR CONTENT (A “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, subject to the exceptions below.

You and Goose&Bull agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

22.1 Disputes

“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Goose&Bull against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from the Service, the Content, User Submission (Public, Personal, and/or Limited Audience), including but not limited to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Goose&Bull, even if the claim arises after you or Goose&Bull has terminated use of Services or a user account or these Terms. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) that Goose&Bull brings against you; (c) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Goose&Bull, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (d) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Goose&Bull; (e) claims that are subject to ongoing litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (f) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms. Disputes does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property, which shall not be subject to arbitration or the notice and good faith negotiation requirement described below.

22.2 Binding Arbitration Process and Procedure

22.2.1 Except as provided herein, if we cannot resolve a Dispute informally, any Dispute will be resolved only by binding arbitration to be held in the county in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in San Francisco, California. Goose&Bull and you further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in California to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

22.2.2 The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.  You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state’s law.

22.2.3 To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Goose&Bull will pay the additional cost. Goose&Bull shall also bear the cost of any arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds your claims, defenses, or other fee-generating activity to be frivolous or asserted or conducted for an improper purpose. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless Goose&Bull is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. 

22.2.4 If Goose&Bull ‘s or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.

22.2.5 You or Goose&Bull may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where: (a) jurisdiction and venue over you and Goose&Bull otherwise qualifies for such small claims court; (b) such claim advances only on an individual (e.g. non-class, non-representative) basis; and (c) where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to provide Goose&Bull with advance notice by email to goose&bull79@gmail.com.  

22.2.6 These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Goose&Bull on your behalf.

24.3 Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Goose&Bull. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

22.4 Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND GOOSE&BULL HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Goose&Bull are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

22.6 Parents, Subsidiaries, Affiliates

This Arbitration Agreement will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Goose&Bull, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Goose&Bull, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Services, any person’s access to and/or use of the Services, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Services.

22.7 Changes to This Section

22.7.1 Goose&Bull will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the marketplace websites, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the applicable website or sent to you.

22.7.2 Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the sections entitled “Arbitration” and “Class Waiver” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver sections in existence after you began using the Services.

22.8 Severability

Subject to the section title “Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions,” if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

22.9 Survival of Agreement

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms or your relationship with Goose&Bull.

24.10 WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

22.10.1 Goose&Bull and you agree to resolve any dispute in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Goose&Bull and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party.

22.10.2 The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Goose&Bull users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

22.10.3 If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court.

22.10.4 If any clause within this Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.

22.10.5 This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Goose&Bull, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Goose&Bull, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims is a dispute.

22.10.6 This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.
