General Terms

 

Welcome to Toolots Factory-Direct Merchant Solutions.

 

THIS TOOLOTS FACTORY-DIRECT MERCHANT SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT") CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, AND IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT AND TOOLOTS. BY REGISTERING FOR OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE SERVICE TERMS AND PROGRAM POLICIES THAT APPLY FOR EACH COUNTRY FOR WHICH YOU REGISTER OR ELECT TO USE A SERVICE (IN EACH CASE, THE "ELECTED COUNTRY").

 

As used in this Agreement, "we," "us," and "Toolots" means the applicable Toolots Contracting Party and any of its applicable Affiliates, and "you" means the applicant (if registering for or using a Service as an individual), or the business employing the applicant (if registering for or using a Service as a business) and any of its Affiliates. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. If there is a conflict among terms in this Agreement, the Program Policies will prevail over any applicable Service Terms and the General Terms, and the applicable Service Terms will prevail over the General Terms.

 

1. Enrollment.

 

To begin the enrollment process, you must complete the registration process athttps://www.toolots.com/vendors/index/login/ for one or more of the Services. Use of the Services is limited to parties that can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable law (for example, the Elected Country may not allow minors to use the Services). As part of the application, you must provide us with your (or your business') legal name, company logo, address, phone number and email address. We may at any time cease providing any or all of the Services at our sole discretion and without notice.

 

2. Service Fee Payments; Receipt of Sales Proceeds.

 

Fee details are described in the applicable Service Terms and Program Policies. You are responsible for all of your expenses in connection with this Agreement. To use a Service, you must provide us with valid credit card information from a credit card or credit cards acceptable by Toolots ("Your Credit Card") as well as valid bank account information for a bank account or bank accounts acceptable by Toolots (conditions for acceptance may be modified or discontinued by us at any time without notice) ("Your Bank Account"). You will use only a name you are authorized to use in connection with a Service and will update all of the information you provide to us in connection with the Services as necessary to ensure that it at all times remains accurate, complete and valid. You authorize us (and will provide us documentation evidencing your authorization upon our request) to verify your information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports about you from time to time, to obtain credit authorizations from the issuer of Your Credit Card, and to charge Your Credit Card or debit Your Bank Account for any sums payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise). All payments to you will be remitted to Your Bank Account through a banking network or by other means specified by us.

 

For any amounts you owe us, we may (a) charge Your Credit Card or any other payment instrument you provide to us; (b) offset any amounts that are payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise) against any payments we may make to you; (c) invoice you for amounts due to us, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt; or (d) collect payment or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. Except as provided otherwise, all amounts contemplated in this Agreement will be expressed and displayed in the Local Currency, and all payments contemplated by this Agreement will be made in the Local Currency. If we discover erroneous or duplicate transactions, then we reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you by deducting from future payments owed to you, charging Your Credit Card, or seeking such reimbursement from you by any other lawful means.

 

IF WE DETERMINE THAT YOUR ACTIONS OR PERFORMANCE MAY RESULT IN RETURNS, CHARGEBACKS, CLAIMS, DISPUTES, OR OTHER RISKS, THEN WE MAY IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION WITHHOLD ANY PAYMENTS TO YOU UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF ANY RELATED INVESTIGATION. IF WE DETERMINE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN USED TO ENGAGE IN DECEPTIVE, FRAUDULENT, OR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, THEN WE MAY IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION PERMANENTLY WITHHOLD ANY PAYMENTS.

 

As a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction limits on some or all customers and sellers relating to the value of any transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of time. We will not be liable to you: (i) if we do not proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us for a security reason, or (ii) if we permit a customer to withdraw from a transaction because a Toolots Site or Service is unavailable following the commencement of a transaction.

All notice of changes to the General Terms and the Service Terms will be posted for at least 30 days. Changes to Program Policies may be made without notice to you. You should refer regularly to Merchant Center to review the current Agreement (including the Service Terms and Program Policies) and to be sure that the items you offer can be offered via the applicable Service.

18. Miscellaneous.

 

The Governing Laws will govern this Agreement, without reference to rules governing choice of laws or the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the Elected Country is the United States, Canada, or Mexico, Toolots and you both consent that any dispute with Toolots or its Affiliates or claim relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration as described in this paragraph, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in a small claims court that is a Governing Court if your claims qualify and (ii) you or we may bring suit in the Governing Courts, submitting to the jurisdiction of the Governing Courts and waiving our respective rights to any other jurisdiction, to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: 16300 Shoemaker Ave. Cerritos, CA 90703. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Toolots will not seek attorneys' fees and costs from you in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 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. Toolots and you 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, Toolots and you each waive any right to a jury trial.

 

You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this Agreement through one or more of our Affiliates. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement subsequently.

 

We have the right in our sole discretion to determine the content, appearance, design, functionality and all other aspects of the Services, including by redesigning, modifying, removing, or restricting access to any of them.

 

Because Toolots is not your agent (except for the limited purpose set out in this document (if the Elected Country for a Service is the United States), or the customer’s agent for any purpose, Toolots will not act as either party's agent in connection with resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any transaction.

 

We will send all notices and other communications regarding this Agreement to you at the email addresses you designated for notifications and updates in your program application or within Merchant Center, or by any other means then specified by Toolots. We may also communicate with you electronically and in other media, and you consent to such communications regardless of any "E-mail Preferences" (or similar preferences or requests) you may have indicated on the applicable Toolots Site, on Merchant Center, or by any other means. You may change your email addresses and certain other information in Merchant Center. You will ensure that all of your information is up to date and accurate at all times. You must send all notices and other communications relating to Toolots to our Merchant Center Team by using the Contact Us form available at:http://www.toolots.com/contact-us.

 

This Agreement incorporates and you accept the applicable Service Terms and Program Policies, which Toolots may modify from time to time. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Fulfillment Services

 

F-1 Your Products

 

Once you are accepted into FBT, you must apply to register each product you offer that you wish to include in the FBT program. We may refuse registration in FBT of any product, including on the basis that it is an FBT Excluded Product or that it violates applicable Program Policies. You may at any time withdraw registration of any of Your Products from FBT.

 

F-2 Product and Shipping Information

 

You will, in accordance with applicable Program Policies, provide in the format we require accurate and complete information about Your Products registered in FBT, and will provide Fulfillment Requests for any Units fulfilled using FBT that are not sold through a Toolots Site ("Multi-Channel Fulfillment Units"). You will promptly update any information about Your Products in accordance with our requirements and as necessary so that the information is at all times accurate and complete.

 

F-3 Shipping to Toolots

 

F-3.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section F-3.4 and Section F-5, FBT is limited to Units that are shipped to and from fulfillment centers located within the applicable Elected Country, to be delivered to customers in the same Elected Country only. You will ship Units to us in accordance with applicable Program Policies. You will be responsible for all costs incurred to ship the Units to the shipping destination (including costs of freight and transit insurance) and Toolots will not pay any shipping costs except as provided in Section F-3.2. You are responsible for payment of all customs, duties, taxes and other charges. In the case of any improperly packaged or labeled Unit, we may return the Unit to you at your expense (pursuant to Section F-7) or repackage or relabel the Unit and charge you an administrative fee.

 

F-3.2 You will not deliver to us, and we may refuse to accept, any shipment or Unsuitable Unit. We may return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit as provided in Section F-7(and you will be deemed to have consented to such action): (a) immediately if we determine in our sole discretion that the Unit creates a safety, health or liability risk to Toolots, our personnel or any third party; (b) if you fail to direct us to return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit within thirty (30) days after we notify you that the Unit has been recalled; or (c) except as otherwise provided in this Section F-3.2, if you fail to direct us to return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit within ninety (90) days after we notify you that we are in possession of it. In addition, you will reimburse us for any expenses we incur in connection with any Unsuitable Units.

 

F-3.3 If the Elected Country is the United States or Mexico, we may, at our option, allow you to ship Units at your expense (as described in Section F-9.2) to fulfillment centers using discounted shipping rates that we may make available to you for certain carriers. In such event, you will use the processes and supply the information that we require for you to obtain such discounted rates. You also must comply with standard operating procedures, weight and size restrictions, and other shipping requirements of the applicable carriers. If we provide you with the estimated shipping costs prior to shipment, you acknowledge and agree that actual shipping costs may vary from such estimates. In addition, if the weight of the Unit, as determined by the applicable carrier, differs from that submitted by you to us for purposes of determining the estimated shipping costs, then: (a) you may be charged more than the estimated shipping costs if the carrier determines that such Unit weighs more than as submitted by you; or (b) you may be charged the full amount of the estimated shipping costs even if the carrier determines the weight to be less than that submitted by you. You will not use our carrier account information (e.g., carrier account number, amount of shipping rates, etc.) for any purpose, nor disclose such information to any third party, and you will protect such information as Toolots's confidential information in accordance with Section 11 of the General Terms of this Agreement. As between you, us and our carrier, you will be the shipper of record, and we will be the payer of record with respect to all Units shipped to us using such discounted rates. Title and risk of loss for any Unit shipped using discounted rates provided by us under this Section will remain with you, and our provision of such shipping rates will not create any liability or responsibility for us with respect to any delay, damage or loss incurred during shipment. You authorize the applicable carrier to provide us with all shipment tracking information.

We will provide storage services as described in these FBT Service Terms once we confirm receipt of delivery. We will keep electronic records that track inventory of Units by identifying the number of Units stored in any fulfillment center. We will not be required to physically mark or segregate Units from other inventory units (e.g., products with the same Toolots standard identification number) owned by us, our Affiliates or third parties in the applicable fulfillment center(s). If we elect to commingle Units with such other inventory units, both parties agree that our records will be sufficient to identify which products are Units. We may move Units among facilities. If there is a loss of or damage to any Units while they are being stored, we will, as your sole remedy, reimburse you in accordance with the FBT Guidelines, and you will, at our request, provide us a valid tax invoice for the compensation paid to you. If we reimburse you for a Unit, we will be entitled to dispose of the Unit pursuant to Section F-7. This reimbursement is our total liability for any duties or obligations that we or our agents or representatives may have as a bailee or warehouseman, and your only right or remedy that you may have as a bailor. At all other times, you will be solely responsible for any loss of, or damage to, any Units.

These returned shipments will be sent to your designated shipping address that is within the Elected Country (or, at Toolots’ sole discretion, your designated shipping address). If the address we have for you is outdated, incorrect or outside the Elected Country, or if we cannot make arrangements for you to pay for the return shipment, the Unit(s) will be deemed abandoned and we may elect to dispose of the Unit(s) as provided in this Agreement.

 

F-7.2 You may, at any time, request that we dispose of Units. We may dispose of any Unit we are entitled to dispose of in the manner we prefer.

We will have the right to determine whether a customer will receive a refund, adjustment or replacement for any Toolots Fulfillment Unit and to require you to reimburse us where we determine you have responsibility in accordance with the Agreement (including these FBT Service Terms and the Program Policies). Except as provided in this Section F-8 regarding any Toolots Fulfillment Units, customer service will be handled in accordance with your Seller Agreement.

 

F-8.3 In situations relating to Toolots Fulfillment Units where the wrong item was delivered or the item was damaged or lost or is missing, unless we determine that the basis for such request is caused by you or any of your employees, agents or contractors, we will, as your sole and exclusive remedy and at our option: (a) for any Toolots Fulfillment Unit, (i) ship a replacement Unit to the customer and reimburse you in accordance with the FBT Guidelines for the replacement Unit, or (ii) process a refund to the customer and reimburse you in accordance with the FBT Guidelines for the Unit; or (b) for any Multi-Channel Fulfillment Unit, reimburse you in accordance with the FBT Guidelines for the Unit (and you will, at our request, provide us a valid tax invoice for the compensation paid to you). Any customer refund will be processed in accordance with the Selling on Toolots and the Transaction Processing Service Terms (if the Elected Country for a Service is the United States). Notwithstanding the Selling on Toolots Service Terms, we will be entitled to retain the applicable fees payable to us under the Selling on Toolots Service Terms and these FBT Service Terms, respectively. Except as expressly provided in this Section F-8.3, you will be responsible for all costs associated with any replacement or return.

 

F-8.4 If we provide a replacement Unit or refund as described in Section F-8.3 to a customer and that customer returns the original Unit to us, we will be entitled to dispose of the Unit pursuant to Section F-7, or, if it is a Sellable Unit, we may, at our option, place such Unit back into your inventory in accordance with Section F-6. If we do put a Unit back into your inventory, you will reimburse us for the applicable Replacement Value (as described in the FBT Guidelines) of the returned Unit. Any replacement Unit shipped by us under these FBT Service Terms will be deemed to be, and will be treated in the same manner as, an order and sale of such Unit from you to the customer via the applicable Toolots Site or Service in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and your Seller Agreement.

 

F-9 Compensation for Fulfillment Services

 

F-9.1 Handling and Storage Fees. You will pay us the applicable fees described in the applicable Fulfillment by Toolots Fee Schedule. You will be charged the Storage Fees beginning on the day (up to midnight) that the Unit arrives at a fulfillment center and is available for fulfillment by Toolots (or in the case of any Unsuitable Unit, the arrival day (up to midnight), until the earlier of: (a) the day (up to midnight) we receive a valid customer order for such product or a request from you to return or dispose of the Unit; or (b) the day (up to midnight) we actually ship the Unit to your designated return location or dispose of the Unit.

 

F-9.2 Shipping and Gift Wrap. For any Toolots Fulfillment Units we will determine the amounts charged to the customer for shipping and gift wrap services for the Units that we fulfill through the FBT Program. As between you and us, these charges will be your charges to the customer, and we will report them to you. We will charge you (and you will pay us) a fee equal to the amount of such charges to the customer. In the case of shipments of Units sold through the Toolots Site that qualify for the "Free Shipping" promotion, the amounts charged to the customer for shipping the Selling on Toolots Units that Toolots fulfills will first be charged to the customer and will next be deducted from the total charges to the customer as your promotion and Toolots will not charge you the fee described above. If the Elected Country is the United States and you ship Units to us using the shipping rates that we may make available pursuant to Section F-3.3, you will reimburse us for the actual amounts charged to us by the applicable carrier for such shipments.

 

F-9.3 Proceeds. We may keep all proceeds of any Units that we dispose of or to which title transfers, including returned, damaged or abandoned Units. You will have no security interest, lien or other claim to the proceeds that we receive in connection with the sale, fulfillment and/or shipment of these Units.

F-11 Release

 

You, on behalf of yourself and any successors, subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, assigns and any other person or entity claiming by, through, under or in concert with them (collectively, the "Releasing Parties"), irrevocably acknowledge full and complete satisfaction of and unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever fully discharge Toolots and each of our Affiliates, and any and all of our and their predecessors, successors, and Affiliates, past and present, as well as each of our and their partners, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, and assigns, past and present, and each of them and all Persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, obligations, demands, causes of action, suits, damages, losses, debts or rights of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, determined or speculative (collectively, "Losses") which the Releasing Parties now own or hold or at any time have owned or held or in the future may hold or own against the Released Parties, or any of them, arising out of, resulting from, or in any way related to the shipment, export or delivery of Your Products to Foreign Addresses, including any tax registration or collection obligations. You, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties, recognize that you, and each of them, may have some Losses, whether in tort, product liability, contract, warranty or otherwise, against the Released Parties of which you, or any of them, are totally unaware and unsuspecting, or which may arise or accrue after the date you register for or use FBT, which the Releasing Parties are giving up by agreeing to these FBT Service Terms. It is your intention in agreeing to these FBT Service Terms that these FBT Service Terms will deprive the Releasing Parties of each and all such Losses and prevent the Releasing Party from asserting any such Losses against the Released Parties, or any of them. In addition to the foregoing, you acknowledge, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties that you are familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, as follows:

 

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

 

You, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties, expressly waive and relinquish any rights that you had or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar provision of the law of any other jurisdiction, to the full extent that you may lawfully waive all such rights pertaining to the subject matter of these FBT Service Terms.

F-14 Tax Matters

 

You understand and acknowledge that storing Units at fulfillment centers may create tax nexus for you in any country, state, province, or other localities in which your Units are stored, and you will be solely responsible for any taxes owed as a result of such storage. If any Foreign Shipment Taxes or Your Taxes are assessed against us as a result of performing services for you in connection with the FBT Program or otherwise pursuant to these FBT Service Terms, you will be responsible for such Foreign Shipment Taxes and Your Taxes and you will indemnify and hold Toolots harmless from such Foreign Shipment Taxes and Your Taxes as provided in Section F-10 of these FBT Service Terms.
