The platform and service are available at http://www.birdyscloset.com (the "Website") and on our mobile device application (the "App"). Our online platform and service, the Website and the App are collectively called "Services".

Please read these Terms and our Privacy Policy (available at http://www.birdyscloset.com/privacy) carefully, because they govern your use of the Services. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. We want you to feel comfortable using the Services and will gladly answer any questions you have.

What We Do and Do Not Do

Birdy’s Closet is a technology services and platform provider and not a retailer. Through the Services, we offer a technology service and platform to allow Buyers and Sellers to connect. Sellers can sign up to the Services and offer their items for sale. Buyers can sign up to the Services if they want to purchase such items.

Our responsibilities under these Terms are limited solely to facilitating the availability of our technology services and platform. Be advised Birdy’s Closet employees, agents, and owners may participate on Birdy’s Closet as Buyers or Sellers and all elements of these Terms of Use apply to these individuals.

We use Dwolla, Inc., a third-party, to process payments and to payout funds to Sellers. You may view their terms of service here: https://www.dwolla.com/legal/tos/. To the extent we accept, hold, or transmit funds relating to a listing, we do so as an agent of the applicable Seller. Also we do not store credit card numbers or social security numbers.

Your access to the Services and your listing and sale of any items through the Services are at your own risk and we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, and limit our liability in these Terms.

Agreement to Terms

By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don't agree to these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that company or other legal entity.

You may use the Services only if you are of legal age and have the capacity to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

The Services that Birdy’s Closet provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services that Birdy’s Closet provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you.

By creating an account, you agree to abide by these Terms and provide accurate information. Unless you are an agent authorized to bind another person and you are acting under their direction, you may not create an account for anyone other than yourself. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided proves to be inaccurate, false, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.

Passwords

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services. You agree to take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. We encourage you to use strong passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account.

Birdy’s Closet is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

No Endorsement

Birdy’s Closet doesn’t endorse any Sellers or any items they may offer for sale through the Services. We have no obligation to conduct background checks on any Seller, but we might do so on a discretionary basis. We’re not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your communications or interactions with a Seller. Be advised that Birdy’s Closet employees, agents, and owners may participate on Birdy’s Closet as Buyers or Sellers and that all elements of these Terms of Use apply to these individuals.

Buying

Dwolla, Inc. our third-party payment processor will ask you to enter the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. Birdy’s Closet doesn’t ask for this information of otherwise store it. Only Birdy’s Closet payment processors require this information as a means to reduce payment fraud. You also authorize Birdy’s Closet and Birdy’s Closet’s payment processors to correct any mistakes in payments made by or to you, including any processing errors we discover, by using the Payment Information to debit or credit the payment account used in the applicable transaction.

You agree to bear any additional charges that your bank or other financial service provider may levy on you. You will receive a confirmation email once the transaction is complete. If you have any concerns or objections regarding charges, you agree to raise them first with us and you agree not to cancel, reject, chargeback or request reversal of any charges related to a Purchase unless you have made a reasonable attempt at resolving the matter directly with Birdy’s Closet.

Because Buyers and Sellers may be located in separate and applicable tax jurisdictions, a Purchase may be subject to local sales, Customs or value-added taxes (VAT), or additional postage upon delivery. These taxes or additional postage fees are not charged by or through the Services and Birdy’s Closet cannot be responsible for or provide order-specific advice regarding additional taxes or postal fees.

You will not engage in any multi-level marketing (MLM) practices.

When you make a Purchase via the Services, you are purchasing directly from the applicable Seller of the item, not from Birdy’s Closet. Any details regarding the item, including but not limited to product descriptions, warranties offered, or any other terms set forth in the Listing are between you and the applicable Seller. You should review and familiarize yourself with any and all terms of sale provided by the Seller prior to purchasing an item using “Buy Now”.

A full set of Buyer questions and answers is available in the Birdy’s Closet Help Section.

Liability, Disputes, and Returns

Buyers are obligated to ask the Seller questions about item that the Seller has listed and also very carefully read the description provided by the Seller.

Buyers must report issues with their purchases to Birdy’s Closet immediately and send photos of the item showing what is wrong with it and Birdy’s Closet will determine whether or not it can be returned.

Birdy’s Closet is not an insurer, broker, contracting agent, or other representative, other than as noted in the Payments section above. Birdy’s Closet does not have any control over, or liability for, the quality, safety, legality, descriptions, photos, or other aspect of the items listed for sale, nor does Birdy’s Closet have any control over or liability for the accuracy, truthfulness, quality, or other aspect of the materials and information associated with Listings. Birdy’s Closet is not liable or responsible for defective items.

If an item sold on Birdy’s Closet is delivered to you in a defective condition; or if the wrong item was delivered; or if the item was lost in transit your sole remedy is to return the product directly to the Seller. Returned items must be shipped within 3 days of the delivery date using a valid, electronically visible tracking number. Full refund of the purchase price including original shipping will be processed once return is verified through tracking.

To initiate a return, the Buyer should send images of the product along with the reason for return to Birdy's Closet. Birdy's Closet will review the Buyer’s reason and a decision will be made by Birdy's Closet. If Birdy’s Closet is convinced of Buyer's reason, Birdy’s Closet will accept the return request. Otherwise, Birdy’s Closet will reject the request for return. If the return is approved, Birdy’s Closet will provide the Buyer with an addressed shipping label to return the item to the Seller. Birdy’s Closet will provide the shipping label via email.

Birdy’s Closet will refund the Buyer once the product is delivered to Seller. Birdy’s Closet reserves the right at its sole discretion to determine if and when return postage will be provided to the Buyer or the cost of return shipping will be fully or partially reimbursed as a store credit.

If you don’t provide Birdy’s Closet with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide Birdy’s Closet with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Birdy’s Closet with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and Birdy’s Closet are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Birdy’s Closet otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution for Consumers” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution for Consumers” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 18.3. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this “Dispute Resolution for Consumers” section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Consumer Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Birdy’s Closet otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Birdy’s Closet submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Consumer Rules. Subject to the AAA Consumer Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Birdy’s Closet will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Birdy’s Closet will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
