BACK MARKET ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 BACK MARKET (i) offers Sellers the possibility to display and sell their products through one or more virtual shops, (ii) gives the Sellers access to tools allowing them to highlight and promote their products, and (iii) offers Members community tools allowing them to hold a dialogue with other Members and exchange information about their common interests.

3.2 BACK MARKET on one hand and each Member on the other are independent parties, with each acting on its own behalf and on its own account. Unless stipulated otherwise in this Agreement, the Agreement does not create any relationship of subordination, mandate, silent partnership, joint venture, or any employer/employee or franchisor/franchisee relationship between BACK MARKET and each Member.

3.3 BACK MARKET expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between Users of its Services. The Services are only a venue for connecting Users.

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS.

10.1 BACK MARKET Service Fee

In consideration for the use of the Services, BACK MARKET charges Sellers a service fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the price of each Product (exclusive of taxes (shipping fees included)) sold by the Seller on the Website (the “Service Fee”). The Service Fee is due as soon as the Buyer has settled the amount of the order placed on the Website, regardless of the payment means used. BACK MARKET deducts the Service Fees from the purchase price of each Product paid by a Buyer before crediting the balance to the Seller’s Virtual Wallet (such balance is referred to as the “Seller Purchase Proceeds”).

The Quality Charter sets forth the limited situations in which the Seller may cancel an order that it previously accepted and refund he purchase price to a Buyer.

In case of such order cancellation and refund by Seller to the Buyer before shipment, the Service Fee will be fully refunded by BACK MARKET to the Seller. In all other cases, BACK MARKET will not be obligated to refund any Service Fee debited on the order amounts.

Within the framework of the setting up of specific operations by BACK MARKET (such as affiliation programs and/or partnerships with companies and/or third party Websites), the Service Fee amount stipulated in the present Agreement may be modified. In that case, BACK MARKET will inform each Member in advance of the commission applied for the operations concerned.

BACK MARKET reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without compensation to Sellers , to modify , the Buy Box algorithm, its policy practices regarding the up for sale of Products to Buyers on the Website and/or the Service Fee received by BACK MARKET and will inform the Members accordingly. If Service Fees are reduced, the changes will be effective as soon as they are put online on the Website. If the modification is temporary (for example special promotional days) the duration of the modification will also be communicated to the Members and displayed on the Websit Service Fees are increased, BACK MARKET will accordingly inform the Sellers who will be required to accept the new changes. The modifications will come into force at the end of the month following the month in which BACK MARKET provided Sellers with notice of the modifications . If a Seller does not accept the new applicable financial conditions changes , he/she is free to terminate the present Agreement in accordance with Section 13, which will result in the termination and closure of the account, as set forth in Section 13.1

10.2 Means of Payment and billing

Any amount that is not paid when due will accrue interest at eighteen percent (18%) per year or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid. If a Seller wishes to pay the Service Fee through a different means, the Seller will have to make a request to BACK MARKET by email at the address: support@backmarket.com

The Seller Purchase Proceeds for all shipped, non-refunded and non-disputed orders shall be placed by BACK MARKET in the Seller’s Virtual Wallet, and such amounts, less any debits for amounts owed by Seller to BACK MARKET or for Products purchased by Seller on the Website, shall be transferred by wire transfer to Seller’s bank account initiated on the 6th, 16 th and 26th day of each month or on the next business day after such date if the date falls on a weekend or holiday, provided that the Seller has previously registered its bank account details on in its BACK MARKET account.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Nothing in this Agreement creates any agency, joint venture, partnership or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between BACK MARKET and the Members. Neither BACK MARKET on the one hand, and each Member on the other hand, has any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or in the name of the other party, or to bind the other party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any third party.

19.2 BACK MARKET reserves the right at any time and at its sole discretion to suspend or interrupt access to the Website and/or operation of the Website, fully or partly, particularly for maintenance interventions, operational necessities, internal choices or in case of emergency.

19.8 Dispute Resolution.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by BACK MARKET that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings will be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and BACK MARKET, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement.
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to BACK MARKET should be sent to: Legal Department, Back Market, 185 Alewife Brook Parkway, Suite #210 , Cambridge, MA 02138. After the Notice is received, you and BACK MARKET may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and BACK MARKET do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Agreement. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that BACK MARKET made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, BACK MARKET will pay you the greater of the award or $50,000 (USD). Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Time Limits. If you or BACK MARKET pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and BACK MARKET, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Agreement. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and BACK MARKET.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and BACK MARKET in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND BACK MARKET WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with BACK MARKET.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or BACK MARKET may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Emergency Equitable Relief . Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Kings County, NY , for such purpose.

19.10 Governing Law. The Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

19.11 Notice. Where BACK MARKET requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing BACK MARKET with your most current e-mail address.

You may give notice to BACK MARKET at the following address: support@backmarket.com. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by BACK MARKET by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

19.12 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

19.13 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

19.14 Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the BACK MARKET Properties except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the BACK MARKET Properties, and any other applicable laws.
