THESE TERMS INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, WHICH AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH OFFERUP, INC. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITE, APPLICATIONS OR OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (TOGETHER, THE “OFFERUP SERVICE”), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (“TERMS”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE OFFERUP SERVICE.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UTILIZING AN INTERNET-BASED MARKETPLACE AND INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS IN PERSON AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 17.
These Terms apply to your access to and use of the OfferUp Service provided by OfferUp, Inc. (“OfferUp,” “we” and “us”). Additional terms (including, but not limited to, the terms of social media services, third-party payment processors, and third-party fulfillment providers) may apply to particular functionalities and features related to the OfferUp Service.
Note: From time to time OfferUp introduces new features that may only be available to certain users. Provisions of these Terms of Service relating to such new features, including, at the present, the electronic payments and fulfillment solutions, may not apply to all users.
1. Eligibility
ONLY USERS WHO ARE THIRTEEN (13) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER MAY REGISTER FOR OR USE THE OFFERUP SERVICE. The OfferUp Service is not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of thirteen (13). If you are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18), you may use the OfferUp Service only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms and any applicable additional terms. You further represent and warrant that you: (a) have not previously been suspended or removed from using the OfferUp Service; (b) are legally permitted to, and do, live in the United States or one of its territories, and (c) may enter into this agreement without violating any other agreement to which you are a party. If you are registering to use the OfferUp Service on behalf of a legal entity, you further represent and warrant that (i) such legal entity is duly organized and validly existing under the applicable laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) you are duly authorized by such legal entity to act on its behalf.
2. Account Registration and Security Responsibilities
In order to access certain parts of the OfferUp Service, you may be required to create an OfferUp account (an “Account”) or a seller payment account (“Stripe Account”) with Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). In connection with creating an Account or a Stripe Account, you must provide certain information (“Registration Data”) and answer all questions or fields marked “required.” You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete Registration Data; (b) maintain and update such Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete; (c) maintain the security of your Account and the Stripe Account, including by maintaining the security and confidentiality of your login credentials; and (d) consent to allow OfferUp to contact you for the purpose of confirming some or all of your Registration Data, to conduct research and to resolve disputes, as OfferUp may elect to do from time to time.
3. Purchases From Other Users.
A. Cash and Other Payments Determined by Users. A buyer may, by agreement with the seller, elect to make payment by cash, check or other payment method accepted by the seller. Such payments are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they meet in person to complete their purchase and sale transaction, pursuant to terms they determine. OfferUp is not a party to such transactions, and does not facilitate such transactions, refunds or returns in any manner.
B. OfferUp Payment Solution. A buyer and seller may instead pay with and accept credit cards and other electronic payment methods (each an “Electronic Payment Method”) through the OfferUp Service. OfferUp has integrated with Stripe, a payment processing service, to allow sellers to accept certain Electronic Payment Methods from buyers using Stripe’s payment processing services (“OfferUp Payment Solution”). Buyers who wish to use the OfferUp Payment Solution must register an Electronic Payment Method with OfferUp, and sellers must enroll for the service through Stripe. Enrollment in and usage of the OfferUp Payment Solution is voluntary, so buyers should note that some sellers may not accept Electronic Payment Methods, or may only accept Electronic Payment Methods for certain transactions. OfferUp, in its sole discretion, may from time to time impose limits on your ability to make and/or receive payments through the OfferUp Payment Solution. Additionally, Stripe may impose its own limits and limitations on a seller’s use of the OfferUp Payment Solution. For instance, a seller’s enrollment in the OfferUp Payment Solution is subject to Stripe’s confirmation that the seller meets Stripe’s enrollment criteria. Sellers should refer to Section 2(d) below for information about the impact of failing to meet Stripe’s enrollment criteria.
i. Buyers. As with any purchases made using cash, all purchases made using the OfferUp Payment Solution are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they complete their purchase and sale transaction, pursuant to the terms they determine. When you initiate a payment through the OfferUp Payment Solution, the seller processes your Electronic Payment Method using Stripe’s payment processing service. OfferUp is not a party to purchase and sale transactions completed using the OfferUp Payment Solution, and disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions, except to provide an interface through which you can provide your Electronic Payment Method to Stripe to process on behalf of the seller. OfferUp further disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate or provide refunds or returns in any manner, other than as expressly provided in the Buyer Protection Policy.
ii. Sellers. By using the OfferUp Payment Solution to accept Electronic Payment Methods, you are entering into an agreement with Stripe subject to the terms of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stripe Services Agreement, you will not have the right to have Stripe, and will not request that Stripe, transfer any buyer data Stripe collects via the OfferUp Payment Solution to an alternative payment processor. Except for the foregoing restriction that supersedes any rights you may have in the Stripe Services Agreement, the Stripe Services Agreement is separate from these Terms. OfferUp is not a party to the Stripe Services Agreement and will not be liable or responsible for the payment services provided by Stripe. If Stripe discontinues providing services in connection with the OfferUp Payment Solution, you authorize Stripe to share your payment method information with an alternative third-party payment processor that is or will be integrated into the OfferUp Payment Solution.
iii. Seller Fees. You agree to pay the service fees (“Service Fees”) described in the FAQs for the sales transactions you make using the OfferUp Payment Solution. The Service Fees include Electronic Payment Method processing fees to Stripe and service fees to OfferUp. OfferUp reserves the right to change the Service Fees from time to time.
iv. Receiving Sales Proceeds. Upon completion of a sale in which the buyer uses the OfferUp Payment Solution, if you have not previously set up a Stripe Account, then you must set up a Stripe Account in accordance with the requirements specified by Stripe to receive the payment via the OfferUp Payment Solution. STRIPE MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO USE THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION. IF STRIPE REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A STRIPE ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A SALE PROCESSED BY STRIPE THROUGH THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION, THEN STRIPE MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION.
v. Acceptable Use Violations. YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE OFFERUP PAYMENT SOLUTION MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED OR LIMITED IF THE PURCHASE OR SALE VIOLATES SECTION 7 (ACCEPTABLE USE) OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR SALES THAT VIOLATE THE PROHIBITED ITEMS GUIDELINES.
vi. Additional Information. For additional information regarding the OfferUp Payment Solution, see our FAQs.
vii. Transactions Final. Regardless of the payment method chosen, ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, UNLESS YOU AND THE SELLER OTHERWISE AGREE AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A REFUND. OfferUp will not be responsible for facilitating refunds, other than as expressly provided with respect to the Buyer Protection Policy.
viii. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to each transaction you complete via the OfferUp Service, including, for example, sales, use, value added, and similar taxes. It is also your responsibility to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. OfferUp is not responsible for withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting any sales, use, value added, or similar tax arising from any transaction you complete via the OfferUp Service.
C. Shipping. From time to time, OfferUp may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to its Shipping Policy, recommend a third party to allow sellers to ship purchased items to buyers. OfferUp is not a party to transactions conducted between buyers and sellers, or to the shipping of items from sellers to buyers, and, other than as expressly provided in the Shipping Policy, OfferUp will not be liable for, and you release us from any liability to you for, any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping. You agree not to use the OfferUp shipping service to mail or cause to be mailed, or ship or cause to be shipped, any item purchased and sold through OfferUp in a manner that violates the law and/or United States Postal Service or shipping regulations, including but not limited to U.S. Postal Service Publication 52. You further warrant that any item you mail or ship contains no weapons, ammunition, explosives, living or infectious biological matter, human remains, pornography, alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, currency, dangerous goods, hazardous goods, or other goods that may not be shipped or mailed by law. As a seller, you assume full responsibility for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those regarding mailing and shipping. Anyone who sends, or causes to be sent, a prohibited, illegal, or improperly packaged or labeled material can be subject to legal penalties such as civil penalties, fines and/or imprisonment, including but not limited to those specified in 18 U.S.C. § 1716 and 39 U.S.C. § 3018.
i. Sellers. From time to time, OfferUp may, in its sole discretion, permit certain sellers to post their items for sale nationwide. Sellers will be charged a posting fee for any sale that results in an item being shipped. Sellers who choose to post nationwide must ship their items in accordance with OfferUp’s Shipping Policy. When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase an item to be shipped, the seller must print the pre-paid shipping label and mail the item within 3 business days of accepting the offer. The seller may cancel an accepted offer up until the package is initially scanned for mailing. The buyer’s payment, minus OfferUp’s nationwide posting fee, will be released to the seller no later than 3 business days after delivery, provided that no Buyer Protection claims are made by the buyer. Buyer Protection claims may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released to the seller.
ii. Buyers. From time to time, Buyers will be able to view items posted nationwide by sellers who have agreed to use the OfferUp shipping feature. For these items, the buyer is solely responsible to pay the cost of shipping the item from the seller. Buyers can cancel an offer to purchase an item for shipping up until the seller has accepted the offer. When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase an item for shipping, OfferUp will charge or put a hold on the buyer’s method of payment, pending delivery of the item. If there are any problems with the delivery or the item itself, please consult the OfferUp Buyer Protection Policy. For any undisclosed damage, incorrect or missing items, or items that are not as described, buyers must contact OfferUp within 3 days of delivery, otherwise OfferUp will deem the transaction closed and release the buyer’s payment to the seller. Please review the OfferUp Buyer Protection Policy to learn more.
4. TruYou Feature.
We may at times offer features enabling you to apply for or request certain badges (each, a “Badge”) to be associated with your OfferUp Service account, including through your account profile. We may make available the TruYou feature (“TruYou”), through which we may associate a TruYou Badge with certain users that have provided personal identification documents (e.g., a driver’s license) to us. The display of a TruYou badge indicates only that a user has provided OfferUp with such documentation. THE TRUYOU BADGE DOES NOT DESIGNATE, AND WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT, (A) WE HAVE VERIFIED THAT A USER WITH A TRUYOU BADGE IS THE PERSON THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE, (B) THAT A USER IS IN FACT THE PERSON IDENTIFIED IN ANY PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT THAT USER HAS PROVIDED TO US, OR (C) THAT WE HAVE TAKEN ANY STEPS TO RUN A CRIMINAL OR OTHER BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHERWISE MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF A USER’S INTEGRITY OR CHARACTER.
If you choose to use the TruYou feature, you represent and warrant to us that (a) any personal identification document that you provide to us is an unaltered and accurate image of your government-issued personal identification document that is without error, and (b) that you have all necessary permissions to provide such personal identification documents to us and your provision of such personal identification documents to us will not violate any law or regulation or cause us to be subject to any investigation, prosecution or legal action. DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE IF THE FOREGOING IS NOT TRUE. We may disclose your photo identification document or certain personal information you provide to our third-party service providers that may help us to detect inaccurate or fraudulent personal identification documents and related information. The TruYou feature and similar programs involving Badges may be discontinued at any time without notice, and we reserve the right to grant and revoke Badges for you or any other user at any time and without any liability to us.
5. Terms of Sale for OfferUp’s Paid Services.
From time to time, OfferUp may make certain services available for a fee in connection with the OfferUp Service (“Paid Services”). The following terms of sale apply solely to your purchase of Paid Services from OfferUp.

If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable to us, your order may be suspended or cancelled.

E. Price Changes. OFFERUP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THE FEES FOR ANY PAID SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, FROM TIME TO TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. FOR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, PRICE CHANGES WILL APPLY TO THE NEXT BILLING PERIOD.
F. Taxes. You are responsible for any sales, duty or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase of Paid Services. We will collect applicable sales tax if we determine that we have a duty to collect sales tax, and will provide notice of such taxes at the time you place your order.
G. No Refunds. Except as provided in Section 5(H), or as otherwise expressly agreed upon by OfferUp, all sales of Paid Services (including any Subscription Services) are final and there are no refunds. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES PERIODS.
H. Errors. In the event of an error in connection with the pricing or charging of Paid Services, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of a billing error is to obtain a refund for the excess amount charged. To be eligible for such refund, you must provide notice of any such error within 120 days of the date of the billing statement in which such error first appeared.
6. Discontinuance of the OfferUp Service

OfferUp may assume exclusive control of any defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with OfferUp in such event.
20. Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING A JURY TRIAL WAIVER) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH OFFERUP AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM OFFERUP (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).
A. Binding Arbitration. Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 7 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and OfferUp agree (1) to waive your and OfferUp’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, the OfferUp Service or the Materials, resolved in a court, and (2) to waive your and OfferUp’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and OfferUp agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
B. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and OfferUp agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the OfferUp Service or the Materials is personal to you and OfferUp and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and OfferUp agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and OfferUp agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
C. Federal Arbitration Act. You and OfferUp agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 20 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
D. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. You and OfferUp agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to OfferUp shall be sent by certified mail or courier to OfferUp, Inc., Attn: OfferUp Designated Agent, 227 Bellevue Way NE #57, Bellevue, Washington 98004. Your notice must include (1) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Account, and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (2) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (3) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent to the email address you used to register for your Account, and will include (a) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and OfferUp cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or OfferUp may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 20, commence an arbitration proceeding, or to the extent specifically provided for in section 20(A), file a claim in court.
E. Process. Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 7 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and OfferUp agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or OfferUp within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and OfferUp will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and OfferUp agree that (1) any arbitration will occur in King County, Washington, (2) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (3) that the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States, respectively, sitting in King County, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.
F. Authority of the Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (1) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (2) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
G. Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (1) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (2) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
H. Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Section 20 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 20 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 20(B) are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
I. Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 20 by writing to: OfferUp, Inc., Attn: OfferUp Designated Agent, 227 Bellevue Way NE #57, Bellevue, Washington 98004. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt-out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 21.
21. Governing Law; Venue.
These Terms, your access to and use of the OfferUp Service and Materials shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States, respectively, sitting in King County, Washington.
22. Miscellaneous
A. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms contain the entire agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding the OfferUp Service. These Terms do not alter the terms or conditions of any other electronic or written agreement you may have with OfferUp for the OfferUp Service or for any other OfferUp product, feature, service or otherwise. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other agreement you may have with OfferUp, the terms of that other agreement will control only if these Terms are specifically identified and declared to be overridden by such other agreement.
B. Amendments. We reserve the right to make changes or modifications to these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending you an email and/or by posting the amended Terms via the OfferUp Service and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. All amended Terms will become effective immediately on the date they are posted to the OfferUp Service unless we state otherwise via our notice of such amended Terms. Any amended Terms will apply prospectively to use of the OfferUp Service after such changes become effective. Your continued use of the OfferUp Service following the effective date of such changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must discontinue using the OfferUp Service.
C. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision will not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances.
D. Waiver. Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms will not operate as a waiver thereof.
E. Relationship. OfferUp is an independent contractor for all purposes, and is not your agent or trustee. You are not an agent of OfferUp.
F. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from OfferUp, including by operation of law or in connection with any change of control. OfferUp may assign or transfer any or all of its rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, without obtaining your consent or approval.
G. Headings. Headings of sections are for convenience only and will not be used to limit or construe such sections.
H. Survival. Sections 16 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 18 (Limitation of Liability), 19 (Indemnity), 20 (Arbitration), 21 (Governing Law; Venue), this Section 22 (Miscellaneous), and any other term that, by its nature, should survive, will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
