Stellar Service ———————— Terms Of Service

SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THE SERVICES.

This Services Agreement (“Agreement”) constitute a legal agreement between you (“Client”) and Stellar Service Ohio LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Liquidator”).

Background

A. Client sells certain products on Amazon.com (“Amazon”).

B. Liquidator offers certain liquidation, purchasing, and sales services related to products sold through Amazon, including but not limited to proprietary software that facilities liquidation, purchasing, and sales of products sold through Amazon (collectively, the “Services”).

C. Client wishes to engage Liquidator for the Services, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The parties therefore agree as follows:

1. Acceptance and Changes. By clicking “Accept”, accessing, or otherwise using the Services, Client agree to the terms of this Agreement. If Client does not agree to this Agreement, then Client’s sole remedy is to cease using the Services. Liquidator reserves the right to change this Agreement at any time, and the changes will be effective when posted on Liquidator’s website or when Liquidator notifies Client by other means. Liquidator may also change the Services, in whole or in part. Client’s continued use of the Services indicates Client’s agreement to any such changes.

2. Client Acknowledgments and Agreements. Client agrees that:

A. Amazon Seller Central Access. The Services may require access to Client’s (or Client’s agents’) Amazon Seller Central data for the purposes of (i) creating or canceling removal, liquidation, or disposal orders; (ii) analyzing payments, fees, or any order; (iii) analyzing liquidation data; and (iv) any other purpose reasonably related to the Services. In the event Client clicks “Connect Amazon Account”, Client hereby grants such access and shall complete Amazon’s consent form to authorize Amazon to share certain information with Liquidator.

B. Removal, Liquidation, and Disposal. Upon authorizing Liquidator for any removal, liquidation, or disposal, Client shall configure its Amazon Seller Central account to allow scheduled removal, liquidation, and disposal orders. Liquidator shall not be held liable or responsible for correcting any errors or inconveniences caused by any unintended removal of Client’s inventory.

C. Shipment Responsibility. Client shall cause it products to be sent to Liquidator’s facilities, but Liquidator is not responsible for any products until Liquidator receives the products at Liquidator’s facilities.

D. Preliminary Pricing. Any preliminary pricing provided by Liquidator through its software to Client solely constitutes an estimate, and Liquidator may, in its sole discretion, adjust such pricing following Liquidator’s physical inspection of Client’s products after Liquidator receives such products at Liquidator’s facilities.

E. Prohibited Products. Liquidator has the sole right, at its sole discretion, to refuse the delivery of or to dispose of any products without any payment or compensation to Client in the event the Products are: (i) flammable, hazardous, or explosive; (ii) are near expiration or are expired; (iii) in unsellable condition; or (iv) counterfeit or illegal (collectively, the “Prohibited Products”). Liquidator may involve any applicable government authorities in the event Client sends Liquidator any Prohibited Products and may share Client’s information with such applicable government authorities. In the event Liquidator refuses delivery of any Prohibited Products, Client shall be responsible for any costs associated with the return of the Prohibited Products to Client. In the event Liquidator incurs any costs with the disposal of the Prohibited Products, Client shall also be responsible for such costs.

F. Set Off. Liquidator shall have the right to set off against any sums due to Client hereunder any claims Liquidator may have against Client under this Agreement, including but not limited to the costs contemplated in Section 2(E) above, without prejudice to the rights of the parties with respect to such claims.

G. Payment to Client. For products that are sold to Liquidator, Liquidator shall pay to Client any payments for the approved products received by Liquidator within the first ten (10) business days of the month following the month in which Liquidator receives, reviews, and approves such products. For clarity and by way of example only, if Liquidator receives, reviews, and approves Client’s products in the month of July, Liquidator shall pay to Client the amounts due for the products within the tenth (10th) business day of August.

Net payments for products that are sold by Liquidators under a consignment agreement will be paid out within the first ten (10) business days of the month following the month in which Liquidator sells items. For clarity and by way of example only, if Liquidator sells Client’s products in the month of July, Liquidator shall pay to Client the amounts due for the products (minus agreed upon fees) within the tenth (10th) business day of August.

H. Authorization. Client states that is a duly authorized wholesaler, distributor, or retailer for all of the products that Client sends to Liquidator. Upon Liquidator’s written request, Client shall promptly provide written proof of such authorization. Client also agrees to allow Liquidator to become a registered agent of any registered brand that Client owns through Client’s Amazon Seller Central account, and Client shall provide all reasonable assistance, upon notice from Liquidator, to assist with the foregoing.

I. Sales of Products. Liquidator may (but is not obligated to) sell any products that Liquidator receives from Client: (i) on Amazon as “used”; or (ii) through any other selling platform or method; and Liquidator alone shall determine the terms of such sales.

3. Termination and Effect of Termination.

 

A. Termination. Liquidator may terminate this Agreement for any reason, upon written notice to Client. Client may terminate this Agreement for any reason, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

 

B. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination:

 

i. If products from Client are in transit, the parties agree that the products shall be returned to Client, at Client’s cost.

 

ii. If products from Client have been received by Liquidator but have not yet been reviewed and approved by Liquidator, the parties agree that the products shall be returned to Client, at Client’s cost.

 

iii. If products have been received, reviewed, and approved by Liquidator, if: (i) Liquidator is terminating due to Client’s breach of this Agreement, Liquidator shall not be liable for any payments due for the products; or (ii) if this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, Liquidator shall pay Client the amounts due for the Products pursuant to Section 2(G), above.

 

4. Eligibility and Accounts. The Services are solely for access and use by Client. By using the Services, Client states that: (i) it has the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement; and (ii) all information provided by Client is true and accurate. Client is responsible for any employee or agent of Client that accesses the Services or any third party that gains access to the Services as a result of Client’s failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if such use was not authorized by Client.

A. Definition.

Force Majeure Events include the following types of events and circumstances (but only to the extent that such events or circumstances satisfy the requirements in the preceding sentence): acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota, or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation.

 

B. No Liability. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance of this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event; provided, that such event is not the result of the negligence or fault or the failure to act by the affected party and cannot reasonably be circumvented or its effects mitigated by the non-performing party through the use of alternate sources, work-around plans, or other means; provided, further, that the affected party: (i) provides prompt notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other party (including the particulars of the Force Majeure Event and an estimate of its expected duration and probable impact of the affected party’s obligations under this Agreement); (ii) exercises reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) provides prompt notice to the other party of the cessation of the Force Majeure Even.
