17.Purchases

The following terms govern purchases you make through bHome's checkout system. These are items you have attempted to purchase, and/or have purchased, within bHome's website or mobile application. This is different from purchases you may make on the websites of third-party brands that you were directed to via bHome. Separate terms contained within bHome's Terms of Service govern those purchases made on third-party websites.

Ordering
All purchases through bHome's checkout system and the Services are governed by this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the third-party brands from which you purchase from. bHome will inform you when an order is placed with a third-party brand, however, each third-party brand shall have 100% discretion whether an order will be accepted and/or deemed valid, and/or whether you can make any changes to an order once placed and accepted.

Cancellation
Whether you can cancel an order once payment is made shall be governed 100% by the terms and conditions of each third-party brand.

Shipping and Delivery
To the extent enabled by the third-party brand, bHome will provide you with confirmation that your order is received and is being processed. Once your order has been processed with the third-party brand, bHome will attempt to provide you a confirmation that your order has been processed and accepted by the third-party brand. bHome may or may not provide you with an estimate of when your order will be shipped and/or delivered. Shipping and delivery are 100% within the discretion and control of each of the third-party brands. Any estimates bHome may provide you with respect to shipping and/or delivery are simply estimates and based on the best information available to bHome, however, you should not rely on these estimates in any way whatsoever. Please read the confirmation emails you receive from bHome for additional information on how to contact the third-party brands for additional information on the status of your order, shipping and delivery.

Returns
Each third-party brand on bHome has its own return policy and each order you make will be governed 100% by the terms and conditions of each third-party brand, including but not limited to, if returns are accepted and under what conditions, and whether you are responsible for additional shipping costs associated with any returns. You acknowledge and accept that bHome has absolutely no involvement, and/or control over, whether you will be permitted to return any order, or portion thereof, and you agree to only look to the third-party brand from which you ordered regarding returns.

Refunds
Much like "Returns" discussed above, each third-party brand on bHome has its own refund policy and each order you make will be governed 100% by the terms and conditions of each third-party brand, including but not limited to, if refunds are permitted and under what conditions, and whether you will be entitled to a full refund, partial refund, credit, or anything at all. You acknowledge and accept that bHome has absolutely no involvement, and/or control over, whether you will be permitted any refund or credit for any order, or portion thereof, and you agree to only look to the third-party brand from which you ordered regarding refunds.

Payments
bHome uses a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to allow you to pay for products purchased through the Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. bHome is not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor. By choosing to purchase goods through the Services, you agree to pay through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize bHome, via the applicable Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider. Please be aware that items you are charged may include shipping fees and state and local sales tax. For each purchase, you grant bHome the right to revise charges and correct any errors or mistakes that are made regarding the purchase price of your order, even where bHome has already received payment from you. For example, in some instances, bHome will charge you estimated State and local sales tax, and may revise the sales tax charge as necessary. You agree that (i) each order through the Services are purchases between you and the third-party brand, and not with bHome; and (ii) bHome is not a party to your payment transaction for such purchases and bHome is not a buyer or a seller in connection with all such transactions. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR PROCESSING OF YOUR PAYMENT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR PAYMENT VALID, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US IF YOUR FORM OF PAYMENT IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Information bHome Collects And Shares Regarding Purchases
When you place an order, bHome will collect and store your shipping address and billing address. Your payment information, such as credit card information, will be maintained by the third-party payment processor, and not bHome. In order to facilitate your order, bHome must share your order information with each third-party brand you order from using the Services. In some instances a third-party brand may request your email to help facilitate your purchase. When requested, we will provide your email to the third-party brand you have placed an order with. We encourage you to review each third-party brand's terms and conditions and privacy policy to understand what each third-party brand does with this information once transmitted by bHome.

bHome Discretion And Your Recourse
You agree that bHome has the absolute discretion to cancel any order at any time for any reason. You agree that any dispute between you and bHome, and/or you and any third-party brand, related to a purchase(s) made through the Services, can be resolved in its entirety by your receipt of a full refund for all amounts you were charged and paid.

Price : Merchants are required to list prices, applicable taxes and shipping costs for the products they sell through the bHome Marketplace. bHome's Commission shall be based on the prices and shipping costs that merchant lists for their products. bHome reserves the right to adjust the prices or shipping costs displayed to users to optimize sales for our merchants. This does not affect the amount or percentage bHome has agreed to pay to the merchant for their orders. bHome will payout merchant the remainder of all sums less its Commission, and less any applicable taxes that are required by law to be withheld by bHome. bHome intends to charge for, and collect, estimated amounts of applicable U.S. state and local transaction taxes on each merchant transaction. bHome is not responsible for the charging or collection of non-U.S. transaction taxes (e.g., value added taxes). It is merchant's obligation to report to bHome all U.S. jurisdictions (State and local) where merchant has a presence that gives rise to "nexus" with that jurisdiction, and therefore, tax collecting responsibilities. bHome will remit to merchant all collected U.S. transaction taxes on merchant's bHome transactions to be held in trust and conveyed to by merchant to the appropriate taxing authority. Where bHome has remitted to merchant all collected transaction taxes from merchant's bHome transactions, or merchant has not accurately reported to bHome all jurisdictions where merchant has tax collecting responsibilities, merchant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless bHome, its officers, directors, and affiliates, from any and all claims arising from or related to failure to pay taxes on merchant's bHome transactions.

bHome uses Stripe, Inc. (Stripe) for payment processing. In order for you to use Stripe's payment processing services, you must enter into the Merchant Services Agreement (MSA) with Stripe and its sponsoring bank. By accepting this Agreement, you agree: (a) that you have downloaded or printed the MSA, and (b) that you have reviewed and agree to the MSA. Please note that bHome is not a party to the MSA and that you, Stripe and Stripe's sponsoring bank and the three parties to the MSA and that bHome has no obligations or liability to you under the MSA. If you have questions regarding the MSA, please contact Stripe.

bHome will faciliatate payment through Stripe. This payment will be a net amount: the merchant's prices (product and shipping and collected taxes) less our Commission.

4. Listing and Selling

Listing Description : By listing an item on the Site or App you warrant that you and all aspects of the item comply with bHome's published policies. You also warrant that you may legally sell the item. You must accurately describe your item and all terms of sale in your bHome shop. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All items must be listed in an appropriate category with appropriate tags. Each listing must accurately and completely describe the item/items for sale in that listing. If the "in stock" quantity is more than one, all items in that listing must be identical.

Shop Policies : All merchants are urged to outline shop policies for their bHome shop. These policies may include, for example, shipping, returns, payment and selling policies. Merchants must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. All shop policies must comply with bHome's site-wide policies. Merchants are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable shop policies. bHome reserves the right to request that a merchant modify a shop policy.

Binding Sale : All sales are binding. The merchant is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the merchant has a family emergency or (b) the merchant is out of town. In the case of such a circumstance, merchant should communicate with the buyer in a reasonable and timely manner regarding the delay and provide an expected date for shipment.

Fee Avoidance : The price stated in each item listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Merchant may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for packaging and mailing the items. Merchant may not charge excessive shipping fees or otherwise avoid fees. You may not alter the item's price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding bHome transaction fees, misrepresent the item's location, or use another merchant's account without bHome's prior permission.
