5. OPERATION OF THE SITE AND THE ROLE OF BUBBLE

The Site provides an online marketplace for Sellers to sell Items to Users. Each sale is directly between the User and the Seller.

The role of Bubble is expressly limited to making the Site available and maintaining the Site. Bubble is an intermediary and not an agent or fiduciary for either the User or the Seller for any purpose. Bubble is not responsible for the actual sale of Items and does not control the information provided by Sellers or Users nor their acts or omissions. Bubble is independent from the User and Seller, and no partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by the operation of the Site by Bubble.

By using the Site, Users, solely of their own initiative, select and purchase Items marketed by Sellers, and place orders for Items via the Site. You acknowledge that Bubble has no control over the ultimate price Items are sold at or any sales terms ultimately entered into between you and a Seller.

We are not responsible for the delivery of or transfer of legal ownership of Items from a Seller to Users. We are not responsible for the delivery of payment from Users to the Seller.  Payment is effected through a third-party financial services provider. We have sole control over the look, feel, content, operations and evolution of the Site, and may modify the Site and any content in our sole discretion.

Bubble may, but is not obligated to, provide intermediary services between the User and Seller in connection with customer service or dispute resolution matters. In the event Bubble elects in its sole discretion to provide intermediary services, then the decision of Bubble is final and binding on all parties and cannot be appealed, challenged or reversed.
 

6. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
   
   The Seller is responsible for accurately describing the Items it is offering to sell and for delivering the Items to the User in accordance with the arrangements made between the User and Seller, including transfer of title and payment of sales or other taxes or fees.
   
   The User is responsible for determining the value, condition and authenticity of the Items being purchased, to pay the purchase price to the Seller, including any sales or other taxes or fees, and to arrange for shipping of the Items purchased.
   
   The agreements between the User and the Seller shall not be governed by the U. N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
   
   7. ELIGIBILITY TO USE THE SITE
   
   Users must be 18 years of age or older to use the Site. The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect information from such children. The Site is designed for persons with experience with, and who are accustomed to, buying Items based on photographs, and the User represents having such experience.
   
   
   8. SITE USE TERMINATION; RIGHT TO MODIFY SITE; CORRECTIONS OF ERRORS, DEFICIENCIES, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS.

 
Bubble expressly reserves the right to terminate the use of, or to refuse to permit the use of, the Site by any person or entity, at the sole discretion of Bubble, for any reason or no reason at all, and without prior notice.  We reserve the right to modify or discontinue all or any part of the Site—including any or all of the Content (as defined in Section 21) on the Site, or any services offered through the Site—at any time without notice to you. In addition, the Site (including the Content) may contain typographical, pictorial and/or other errors, deficiencies, or inaccuracies and may not be complete, accurate, timely, or current. We assume no responsibility for any such errors, deficiencies, inaccuracies, or omissions on the Site and do not guarantee that they will be corrected.  We and Sellers both reserve the right to (i) discontinue any stated offer, (ii) delete, change or update prices, promotions, product descriptions or specifications, or other information, and (iii) delete, change or update the Content at any time without prior notice. In the event of an error involving product pricing or the terms of an offer, changes will take effect upon posting on the Site, unless otherwise noted.

9. REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT ACCESS

Registration may be required in order to use the Site.  Registrants are required to provide certain information and to select a password to be used to create and access their accounts. This password and other registration details should be kept safe and not shared with anyone. Registrants may voluntarily provide additional information in the registration process to personalize their accounts. Registrants may access their accounts to view their profile information as well as transaction information by clicking the icon on the home page of the Site after logging in.

Users may cancel their registration and account at any time. For your security, requests to terminate accounts MUST originate from the registered email account at Bubble and be addressed to [email address]. Under no circumstances will a cancellation request received via the phone or otherwise be accepted.

10. ITEM DESCRIPTION, PRICING AND AVAILABILITY; SITE UNAVAILABILITY

Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of the descriptions or pricing of the Items on the Site. Bubble relies on the Sellers for such information and is not responsible in any way for the description or pricing of Items on the Site provided by the Seller.

However, due to the nature of the internet, occasional glitches, service interruptions or mistakes may cause unintended inaccuracies to appear on the Site. Bubble has the right to correct inaccuracies or mistakes that come to its attention and to void any purchases of Items that display an inaccurate price or description.

You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Site may occur from time to time as normal events.

Also, we may decide to cease making available the Site or any portion of the Site at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will Bubble or the Sellers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.

All Items displayed on the Site are offered for sale strictly subject to availability.

The User is aware the Site is designed to provide the User access to Items as the Sellers present them. Accordingly, Bubble does not verify any information provided by the Seller (or its representative selling an Item), and Bubble makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Seller, the Item or the information related to the Item.

11. THE SALE PROCESS

Purchases through Site. When a User identifies an Item for purchase, the User may elect to order the Item directly through the checkout page operated by a third-party financial services provider.  At that time, the User shall submit valid payment information for payment of the Total Purchase Price. The “Total Purchase Price” is the price for the product listed on the Site and includes (i) the agreed price of the Item (the “Purchase Price”); (ii) if applicable, shipping fees; and (iii) sales or other taxes that the Seller is required to collect from the User under applicable law at the time of sale. By electing to purchase, the User irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price, and the Seller agrees to sell the Item for the Total Purchase Price.

Sales Confirmation. An order is deemed “accepted” by the Seller and the sale is confirmed between the User and the Seller when a confirmation (“Sale Confirmation”) email is sent  to the User’s email account notifying the User that the User’s purchase of the Item has been accepted and confirmed by the Seller and that the User’s payment is being processed and the Items shipped. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event(s) of an error by Seller as to availability of the Item or any other error on Seller’s part with respect to a Sale Confirmation or the operation of the Site, the Seller and/or Bubble reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to rescind that Sale Confirmation without penalty to any party.

Once a Sale Confirmation email for an Item is sent to the User, a binding contract between the User and the Seller with respect to the sale and purchase of that Item is created.

12. OFFERS TO BUY OR SELL OUTSIDE OF THE BUBBLE SITE

Bubble does not allow Users or Sellers to use Bubble to contact each other to make offers to buy or sell items outside of the Site. Also, Users and Sellers are not permitted to use information obtained from the Site to contact each other about buying or selling outside of the Site.

Sellers are liable for all fees due to Bubble arising out of all sales made using some or all of the Site’s services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of the Site.
Please make sure to follow these guidelines. If a User breaches these guidelines, Bubble may limit, restrict, or suspend the User from using Site features. The User may also forfeit special account status and any discounts. The User may be subject to the application of fees and recovery of Bubble’s expenses in policy monitoring and enforcement.

13. PAYMENT FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED

Immediately upon transmission of the Sale Confirmation email, the User irrevocably authorizes User’s payment card to be charged an amount equal to 100% of the Total Purchase Price.

If for any reason after receipt of the Sale Confirmation email, the User cancels a payment made by credit card or any other means, the User shall remain liable to the Seller for the full Total Purchase Price and any costs related to the sale of the Item, including, but not limited to, any costs incurred by Bubble associated with collecting any amount due to the Seller, including, but not limited to, legal fees and costs.

14. SALES ARE “AS-IS”

All Items displayed on the Site are sold “AS-IS”. Neither the Seller nor Bubble makes any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any User with respect to any Item, including without limitation, its condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation. Bubble makes no representation or warranty as to whether the User acquires any reproduction rights or other intellectual property rights in any Item.

15. RETURN POLICY
We do not accept returns, but if your purchased product arrives damaged or if it has been recalled, please contact us at help@bubblegoods.com and we will arrange for a replacement or refund by the Seller.  
 
 

16.  BUYING AND SELLING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
    
    Bubble does not permit sales or delivery of Items outside of the United States.   
    
    
17. TAXES

 
The User is entirely responsible for paying all sales and other taxes related to the purchase of each Item (collectively, “Taxes”). The User shall pay the Seller such Taxes as the Seller is required to collect, but failure of the Seller to collect the Taxes will not relieve the User’s obligation. It is the User’s responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes.


18. TRANSFER OF TITLE/RISK OF LOSS

The Seller of each Item sold on the Site represents that the Seller will convey clear title of each Item to the User upon receipt by the Seller of the Total Purchase Price for the Item.

Seller is responsible for arranging shipping, and risk of loss and title for such Item pass to the User upon the User’s receipt of the Item. The Seller represents that the Seller is the sole owner of each Item the Seller is offering for sale on the Site and that the Seller will transfer ownership of the Item to the User free from any claims by third parties.

19. SHIPPING

Seller shall arrange for packaging and shipping. Seller shall provide shipping information including the name of the freight carrier, the complete cost of shipment from Seller to User’s designated receiving address, the cost of any other charges to be paid by User, as well as any costs or fees to be charged by Seller for packaging the Items for shipment. User shall prepay all shipment costs as part of the Total Purchase Price.

20. REFUSAL OF TRANSACTION

Bubble reserves the right to withdraw any Item from the Site or to amend any content on the Site at any time in its sole discretion. Bubble may refuse service to anyone at any time in its sole discretion. Bubble will not be liable to any User or any other third party because Bubble has withdrawn any Item from the Site, amended any of the content on the Site, or denied access to the Site.

Discovery shall be permitted, but only to the extent that the documents are directly relevant to and needed for fair resolution of one or more of the issues of importance and can be located and produced at a cost that is reasonable in the context of all surrounding facts and circumstances. When the cost and burden of discovery are disproportionate to the likely importance of the requested materials, the arbitrator may deny the requests or require that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other side.

(B) Additional Provisions. The arbitrator may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort, nor award damages inconsistent with these Terms. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to enforce the results of the arbitration or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which the award is based. The result of the arbitration shall bind the parties, and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In addition to any and all other relief to which a party may be entitled, the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expert witness fees and costs, to the prevailing party (should there be one) in any such arbitration.

(C) Waiver of Jury Trial; Individual Basis; Equitable Relief. The parties surrender and waive the right to submit any dispute to a court or jury or to appeal to a higher court. The parties agree to arbitration on an individual basis. Where enforceable, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER SELLERS OR PERSONS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SITE USERS/SELLERS. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall prohibit either party from seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (without necessity of posting bond) injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo and/or avoid irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be insufficient.

(D) Where Held; Language; Governing Law. The place of arbitration shall be the borough of Manhattan, City of New York, NY, USA, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. These Terms shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws, and the arbitrator shall follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Southern District of New York would apply to the dispute.
