3. The Buycycle Services

 

3.1. Posting Items

The Buycycle Services allow you to post items for sale by uploading pictures and providing item descriptions. You can post items through the Services without charge.

 

3.2. Buying and Selling

When a buyer and seller agree on a price for an item posted for sale on the Services there are several options for completing the transaction.

 

Buycycle Services allow you to pay for a purchase with a credit card or other electronic payment method through the Services ("Buycycle Payment Solution"). All purchases made using the Buycycle Payment Solution are made directly between you and the other party according to these Terms and any other terms the parties mutually determine. Buycycle is not a party to such transactions and disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions or provide refunds or returns, other than as expressly provided in the Purchase Protection Policies.

 

3.3. Payment Accounts

If you choose to make or accept payment for items using the Buycycle Payment Solution, you agree to pay the relevant service fees. Buycycle reserves the right to change the service fees from time to time.

 

Making or accepting payment using the Buycycle Payment Solution requires you maintain an account with Buycycle. Buycycle currently uses Adyen, a payment processing service, as its Payment Provider. By providing your credit card or deposit account information, you are entering into an agreement with Buycycle and agree to the terms of the Payment Provider’s Agreement, which includes its own Terms of Service (collectively, the "Payment Provider Services Agreement"). Buycycle is not a party to the Payment Provider Services Agreement and is not responsible for the payment services provided by Payment Provider. If Payment Provider discontinues providing services in connection with the Buycycle Payment Solution, you authorize Payment Provider to share your payment method information with an alternative payment provider.

 

Buycycle, in its sole discretion, may from time to time impose limits on your ability to make and/or receive payments through the Buycycle Payment Solution. Additionally, the Payment Provider may impose its own limits on your use of the Buycycle Payment Solution. THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO USE THE BUYCYCLE PAYMENT SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE BUYCYCLE PAYMENT SOLUTION. IF THE PAYMENT PROVIDER REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A PAYMENT PROVIDER ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A SALE PROCESSED THROUGH THE BUYCYCLE PAYMENT SOLUTION, THEN THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE BUYCYCLE PAYMENT SOLUTION.

 

YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE BUYCYCLE PAYMENT SOLUTION MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED, OR LIMITED IF THE PURCHASE OR SALE VIOLATES ANY OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE PROHIBITED ITEMS GUIDELINES REFERENCED IN SECTION 4.

 

The buyer's payment, minus any applicable Buycycle fee, will be released to the seller typically 3-5 business days after the purchased item has been delivered to the buyer, provided that no claims are made by the buyer under the Purchase Protection Policies. Purchase Protection claims may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released to the seller. Sellers authorize the Payment Provider to pay Buycycle from Seller's account any fees incurred by the Seller from using the Services.

 

3.4. Taxes

You are responsible for any sales, use, duty, import taxes or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase or sale through the Services. You are also responsible for compliance with US customs and regulations if applicable to your purchase.

 

Buycycle will collect applicable sales tax if we determine that we have a duty to collect sales tax in a given state. Buycycle maintains a list of the states where it collects sales tax. If you are in a state where Buycycle does not collect sales tax on your behalf, you are required to collect all applicable sales taxes for sales made through the Buycycle Services.

 

Buycycle may need to report your earnings from Buycycle transactions to the Internal Revenue Service if you hit certain thresholds of activity on the "Buycycle Platform" (defined as both the Buycycle app and Buycycle.com). If Buycycle determines that it is necessary to report your earnings, we will ask you for personal information, such as your social security number, in order to complete tax form 1099-K. If you do not provide this information when requested, we will instruct our Payment Provider to block payments to your bank account until we receive the necessary information.

 

3.5. Shipping

Buycycle allows sellers to post bicycles as being available for shipping nationwide (within the contiguous United States).

 

Sellers who post items as being available for shipping nationwide must ship their items in accordance with Buycycle's Shipping Policies. Sellers who receive a pre-paid shipping label are charged a fee for sales that results in an item being shipped. The seller may cancel an accepted offer up until the package is initially scanned for mailing by our authorized shipping partner.

 

Buyers who have requested items be shipped to them pay for the cost of shipping items. When a seller accepts a buyer's offer to purchase an item and have it shipped to them, Buycycle will charge or put a hold on the buyer's method of payment, pending delivery of the item. Buyers can cancel an offer to purchase an item for shipping up until the seller has accepted the offer.

 

Buycycle is not a party to transactions conducted between buyers and sellers, or to the shipping of items from sellers to buyers. Buycycle is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping and users ship any item at their own risk

 

You agree not to use the Buycycle shipping service in a manner that violates the law and/or United States Postal Service regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Postal Service Publication 52, in any way. Without limiting the forgoing, you may not ship any item that contains 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. Anyone who ships a prohibited, illegal, or improperly packaged or labeled material is subject to legal penalties such as civil penalties, fines and/or imprisonment, including but not limited to those specified in 18 U.SU.SU.S.C. § 1716 and 39 U.SU.SU.S.C. § 3018. You agree to label any package containing medium lithium cells/batteries with “LITHIUM BATTERIES – FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD AIRCRAFT AND VESSEL” and only ship such packages by ground.

17.   Assumption of Risk.  

 

A. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UTILIZING AN INTERNET-BASED MARKETPLACE AND INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS IN PERSON. WE DO NOT INVESTIGATE OR VERIFY ANY USER'S REPUTATION, CONDUCT, MORALITY, CRIMINAL BACKGROUND, OR ANY INFORMATION USERS MAY SUBMIT TO THE SERVICES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS, PARTICULARLY WHEN MEETING A STRANGER IN PERSON FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OTHER USERS MAY ATTEMPT TO PHYSICALLY HARM OR DEFRAUD YOU OR OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM YOU FOR FRAUDULENT PURPOSES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND ASSUME ALL RISKS RELATED TO, SELLING AND BUYING THROUGH BUYCYCLE'S SERVICES (INCLUDING ALL ONLINE AND OFFLINE INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS).

 

B. COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOTS. COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOTS ARE LOCATIONS IN WHICH A THIRD PARTY (SUCH AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT OR LOCAL STORE) HAS AGREED TO POST A COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOT SIGN. WE ENCOURAGE THIRD PARTIES TO PLACE COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOTS IN WELL-LIT LOCATIONS, WITH SURVEILLANCE AND IN GENERALLY WELL-TRAFFICKED AREAS; HOWEVER, BUYCYCLE DOES NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE CONDITIONS AT ANY COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOT, DOES NOT MONITOR COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOTS AND DOES NOT WARRANT THEIR SAFETY OR CONDITION. YOUR USAGE OF COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOTS, AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THAT USAGE, INCLUDING AGAINST ANY THIRD PARTY POSTING A COMMUNITY MEETUP SPOT SIGN, REMAINS SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS IN SECTIONS 15-18 OF THESE TERMS.

 

18.   Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buycycle and the other Buycycle Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages or lost profits, even if Buycycle or the other Buycycle Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

The total liability of Buycycle and the other Buycycle Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount paid by you to Buycycle in the 12 months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim.

 

The limitations set forth in this Section 18 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Buycycle or the other Buycycle Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

 

 

19.   Buyer Protection. Buycycle supports the buyer in the context of the so-called buyer protection in the enforcement of any warranty claims against the seller, especially in the case of non-performance or poor performance or delivery, the significant deviation of the road bike condition from the product description of the seller or in the case of withdrawal, provided that the buyer notifies Buycycle within 48 hours since non-performance or poor performance or delivery or the buyer asserts a right of withdrawal to which he is entitled. A size that does not fit is not a reason for rescission.

 

The object of the buyer protection is an examination by Buycycle as to whether there is actually a defect in the subject matter of the contract. For this purpose, the buyer can first send the subject matter of the contract to Buycycle at his own expense, which will be checked there for the alleged defect.

 

If a defect turns out, Buycycle will contact the seller and clarify whether a rescission is accepted or a - possible - repair is to be carried out by Buycycle at the seller's expense. If the seller decides to rescind the contract, he will receive the object of the contract back against payment of a shipping fee. Buycycle will collect the amount owed by the seller via the payment service provider Adyen or set it off against any future payouts as defined in section 8. of these GTC. Buycycle will make the refund of the full or partial purchase price to the buyer on behalf of the seller. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Buycycle will refund the amount owed by the seller to the buyer using the same means of payment that the buyer used to pay the agreed purchase price. Further information on customer protection can be found in the sales advertisements of the respective racing bikes.

 

As an alternative to rescission, the Seller may also choose a repair at its own expense by Buycycle, provided that the originally agreed quality of the subject matter of the contract can be achieved in this way.

 

If, after inspection by Buycycle, it turns out that there is no defect, Buycycle will inform the buyer and return the subject matter of the contract against payment of a shipping fee.

 

After the expiry of forty-eight (48) hours after the agreed or actual delivery date, the Buyer Protection no longer applies.

 

20.   Release. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Buycycle and the other Buycycle Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users, job applicants and job posters, and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

 

21.   Transfer and Processing Data. In order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.

 

22.   Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buycycle and our subsidiaries and affiliates and our officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the "Buycycle Parties") from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs ("Claims") arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with the Services. You agree to promptly notify Buycycle Parties of any third-party Claims, cooperate with the Buycycle Parties in defending such Claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). You also agree that the Buycycle Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at Buycycle's sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Buycycle or the other Buycycle Parties.

 

 

23.   Terminating our Services.  You may terminate or stop using our services at any time. We may also stop providing services to You, add or remove functionalities or features or stop a service completely. You agree that We, at our sole discretion, have the right (but not the obligation) to delete or deactivate Your account, block Your email or IP address, or otherwise terminate Your access to or use of the Website (or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and discard any content within the Website, for any reason, including, without limitation, if We believe that You have acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement. Further, You agree that We shall not be liable to You or any third-party for any termination of Your access to the Website. Further, You agree not to attempt to use the Website after said termination. 

 

24.   Dispute Resolution. Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Buycycle and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

 

No Representative Actions. You and Buycycle agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Buycycle, and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. The limitations imposed by this section apply to, but are in no way limited to, class action refund claims brought by a class of taxpayers against Buycycle related to taxes collected and remitted in good faith efforts at compliance with state and local marketplace facilitator or marketplace provider laws. Nothing in this section will be construed to prohibit a buyer from filing a refund claim with the seller or applicable state and local tax authority as permitted by law.

 

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Buycycle seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Buycycle seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Buycycle waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against Buycycle or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact Buycycle and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to Buycycle by email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to Buycycle Inc., Attn: 80 Pine Street, Floor 24, New York, NY 10005

 

The Notice must (a) include your name, your residence address, your email address, your telephone number, and, if you have registered for an Buycycle account, the email address your account is registered under if it is different from your current email address; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Buycycle cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in King County, Washington unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration at the JAMS office closest to your residence. For purposes of this Section 23, a "consumer" means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. Additionally, arbitrations may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $10,000. You and Buycycle agree that arbitrations will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

 

You and Buycycle agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 23 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine whether a dispute may be arbitrated. The arbitrator may conduct only 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.

 

The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The arbitrator, Buycycle, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

 

You and Buycycle agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Buycycle will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Buycycle, Buycycle will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Buycycle agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware and the United States sitting in Kent County, Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

 

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Buycycle will not have the right to assert the claim.

 

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 23 by emailing Buycycle at [email protected].

 

In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address 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 23.

 

If any portion of this Section 23 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 23 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 23; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 23 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 23 will be enforceable. If you are a consumer, the provisions of this Section 23 will be modified to the extent necessary to conform to the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards.
