MAKER TERMS OF USE

IF YOU ARE A MAKER AND YOU WISH TO USE THIS WEBSITE, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE MAKER TERMS OF USE BEFORE DOING SO. BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND MAKER MARKETPLACE LLC.

1. Parties and Effective Date

THIS MAKER TERMS OF USE (“AGREEMENT” OR “MAKER AGREEMENT”) IS BETWEEN MAKER MARKETPLACE LLC (“MAKER MARKETPLACE”) AND YOU AS THE MAKER OF CUSTOM GOODS OR PROVIDER OF CUSTOM SERVICES WHO IS SUBSCRIBING TO OR OTHERWISE USING THE MAKER MARKETPLACE SITE AND SERVICES (“MAKER” OR “YOU”), WHETHER OR NOT YOU ACTUALLY MAKE OR SELL ANY GOODS OR SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE MAKER MARKETPLACE SITE OR SERVICES. YOUR USE OF THE MAKER MARKETPLACE WEBSITE, LOCATED AT HTTPS://WWW.MAKER-MARKETPLACE.COM (THE “SITE”) AND ANY OTHER MAKER MARKETPLACE SERVICES, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKER MARKETPLACE’S PRIVACY POLICY, (TOGETHER, THE “MAKER TERMS AND CONDITIONS”). THIS VERSION OF THE AGREEMENT WAS IMPLEMENTED AND BECAME EFFECTIVE ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 (“EFFECTIVE DATE”). IT APPLIES FROM THE LATER OF (1) THAT DATE OR (2) THE DATE ON WHICH YOU ACCEPTED IT THROUGH THE SITE.

2. Purpose of Maker Marketplace

Maker Marketplace has created an online marketplace to connect makers of custom and handmade goods and providers of custom services with users who wish to shop for and purchase custom and handmade goods and services (“Buyers” and, together with you and other makers, “Users”). You may post information about your skills and past projects in your profile. On and through the Site, Buyers may send an email request to invite bids or proposals from makers for custom goods or services (“Project Requests”) or order items directly. You may respond to that email directly through your own email service provider to submit a proposal to the Buyer (“Project Proposal”). You will not be able to respond to the Buyer’s email request through the Site. Once a proposal is accepted or order is made, Buyers and you can communicate with each other to form an agreement whereby you will create and deliver a custom good or service (a “Project”) to the Buyer (a “Project Agreement”). Maker Marketplace makes no guaranty, representation, or assurance that a Project Agreement will be legally enforceable if challenged.

3. Eligibility to use the Site

The Site is available only to legal entities or persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and are otherwise capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are a person who agrees to this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, the terms “Maker,” “you,” and “your” refer both to you personally and the entity on whose behalf you agree. Furthermore, you personally represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes you from engaging with Maker Marketplace or the Site as a Buyer or potential Buyer, as long as you open a separate account designated for Buyers or potential Buyers and agree to the terms of the separate agreement applicable to Buyers (the “Buyer Agreement”).

Maker Marketplace shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or cancel a User’s account or access to the Site, or to otherwise preclude a User from using the Site or the Maker Marketplace services, for any reason or no reason. If your account is suspended, restricted, or cancelled, you may not continue to use the Maker Marketplace service or Site under a different or new account.

4. Role of Maker Marketplace

You agree that by making a Project Proposal to another User of the Site, you are agreeing and intending to enter into a binding legal agreement with that User if and when that User accepts your proposal. That binding agreement shall be between only you and that other User. Maker Marketplace shall not be a party to any agreement between you and another User. You understand and agree that Maker Marketplace does not deliver any goods or provide services for or on behalf of you, does not ensure payment by any User, and does not make any representations regarding the quality of such goods or services.

Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the other User, Maker is not licensed to use any other User’s email or physical mailing address.

6. General Maker Performance

Maker Marketplace expects a consistent and high level of courtesy, respect and professionalism from all of its Users toward each other.

Maker agrees to accurately represent the items and services that Maker offers for sale on the Site, including but not limited to the Maker’s capabilities. When Maker lists an item or service on the Site that results in a Project Agreement, Maker agrees and intends that by doing so, Maker is entering into a binding agreement directly with that User, which Maker will honor. Maker Marketplace is not a party to any Project Agreement or other agreements between or among Users. Maker agrees that Maker, not Maker Marketplace, will be the merchant of record for all transactions through the Site. All pricing for Projects must be in U.S. Dollars.

Maker shall not enter into any Project Agreement with terms that would cause the Maker to violate any of the provisions of this Agreement. Maker will deliver in accordance with the Project Agreement the Project purchased by another User unless that User fails to meet the terms of the Project Agreement.

Maker shall consistently provide service that results in a high level of Buyer satisfaction. This includes, but is not limited to, adhering to Project Agreements, as well as informal common-sense obligations to provide good service to Users; providing goods and services in a competent manner, of commercially reasonable quality, and in accordance with Maker’s representations or promises concerning Maker’s skills and abilities; communicating in a professional and timely manner with Maker Marketplace; and providing reasonable cooperation with Maker Marketplace’s efforts to ensure positive User experiences and customer satisfaction.

It is recommended that Maker purchase shipping insurance for all Projects that Maker ships, in an amount that is no less than the total amount the Buyer agreed in the Proposal to pay for the Project.

Maker agrees to use good judgment when posting information, comments, feedback or other content regarding other Users, Maker Marketplace, or any third party anywhere within the Site. Maker may be held legally responsible for damages suffered by other Users, Maker Marketplace or any third party as a result of legally actionable or defamatory comments, remarks or other information or content posted to the Site.

Maker shall not post to the Site or include in any communications with another User, information that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, pornographic, threatening, inaccurate, or an invasion of privacy; an infringement of another’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks; illegal in any way or that advocates illegal activity under any applicable law; an advertisement or solicitation of funds, goods, or services, other than for the purpose of conducting business with other Users pursuant to the purpose of the Site as stated in Section 2 of this Agreement; an impersonation of another; or personal information of another, including but not limited to personal phone numbers, account numbers, personal addresses, or employer references.

Maker agrees that Maker Marketplace is not and shall not be legally responsible for any remarks, information, or other content posted or made available on the Site by any other User or third party, even if such information or content is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable. Maker Marketplace is not responsible for and does not monitor or censor content for accuracy. Maker Marketplace reserves the right, however, to remove or restrict access to any information or content posted or made available on the Site if ordered to do so by a court, if Maker Marketplace considers such information or content to be inappropriate, or for any other reason, in its sole discretion.

All identity information associated with the Maker and Maker’s account on the Site must be real and verifiable. Maker shall at all times ensure that the information associated with the Maker’s account is accurate and updated. Maker Marketplace may validate Maker information at any time and in any manner. Maker shall reasonably cooperate with any such verification efforts, including but not limited to providing to Maker Marketplace upon request government or legal documents that confirm the Maker’s identity.

Maker is solely responsible for ensuring and maintaining the secrecy and security of Maker’s account information and password. Maker agrees not to disclose Maker’s password to, or allow the use of Maker’s account by, any third party. Maker agrees that Maker shall be solely responsible for any use of the Maker’s account or Maker’s password, whether or not Maker authorizes such use.

Maker authorizes Maker Marketplace to run credit card authorizations on any credit cards provided by Maker. Maker may terminate Maker’s Maker Marketplace membership and disable the Maker’s account at any time. Maker shall, however, remain bound by the terms of this Agreement even if Maker disables Maker’s account.

7. Communication with Users

When engaged in communications concerning Projects, or potential Projects with other Users, Maker shall regularly review and respond promptly to communications from such Users.

8. Submitting a Project Proposal to a Buyer

Maker may submit a Project Proposal in response to a Project Request. All information provided in a Project Proposal must be true, accurate and complete. Maker shall submit a Project Proposal for only Projects that Maker is competent and able to perform. Maker Marketplace reserves the right to (but in no event shall have the obligation to) verify any and all information provided on a Maker's profile, Project Proposal, or Project Agreement. By tendering a Project Proposal to a user, Maker is attesting that Maker has the skills and ability to perform the requested services by the deadline provided by the Project Agreement. Maker will not submit Project Proposals for any good or service that is illegal or the provision of which would infringe upon any third party’s intellectual property or other rights.

9. Payments

Maker understands and agrees that Maker is solely responsible for collecting payments from a Buyer. Maker agrees that Maker Marketplace is not and shall not be legally responsible or otherwise involved in invoicing, collecting, or receiving payments for any Project.

10. Maker Marketplace Fees

Maker will pay Maker Marketplace a subscription fee, payable monthly or annually, for Maker Marketplace’s services and technology provided through the Site and otherwise (the “Subscription Fee”). The Subscription Fee shall be in the amount and for the duration that the Maker has entered and agreed to pursuant to the membership sign up page on the Site. Thereafter, except as otherwise provided herein, on the anniversary date of this Agreement, the Subscription Fee will automatically renew for an additional term equal in length to the expiring subscription term at then-current price unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

From time to time, Maker Marketplace may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer Maker a discount on the Subscription Fee or a credit towards the Subscription Fee. Unless Maker Marketplace states in writing otherwise, all Subscriptions Fees are final and nonrefundable.

Maker authorizes Maker Marketplace to run credit card or other payment method authorizations on any credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods provided by Maker; to store credit card, bank account, or other payment method details as Maker’s method of payment for the Subscription Fee; and to charge Maker’s credit card, bank account, or other payment method as payment for the Subscription Fee.

11. Failure to Pay

If Maker fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement, whether by canceling Maker’s credit card, initiating a chargeback, or any other means, Maker shall be responsible to Maker Marketplace for all amounts due, plus any applicable processing fees, charges or penalties, collection costs (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), and interest on the unpaid amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law. In its discretion, and without limiting its other available remedies, Maker Marketplace may make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the availability of other remedies, in the event that Maker fails to make any payment to Maker Marketplace when due, Maker consents to Maker Marketplace charging any Maker credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods or sources available to Maker Marketplace for the amounts due from Maker.

12. Failure to Deliver Projects

It shall be a breach of this Agreement for Maker to fail to deliver Projects in a timely manner, as described in the Project Agreement, or otherwise in accordance with the Project Agreement. Upon such a failure, and without limiting any other available remedies, Maker Marketplace may, in its sole discretion, but in no event shall Maker Marketplace be obligated to, cancel Maker’s account and refund a pro-rated portion of the Subscription Fee back to the Maker.

13. Feedback and Reputation Management

Maker Marketplace provides its feedback and reputation management system as a service to Maker and other Users, through which Users can express their opinions and experiences publicly about other Users. Maker Marketplace does not monitor or censor these statements, or investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy.

Maker acknowledges and agrees that the Site may contain publicly available comments and feedback about Maker from other Users with whom Maker has transacted or interacted through and in connection with the Site. Maker acknowledges that feedback results for Maker may consist of comments and ratings left by other Users that are or that Maker perceives as negative. Maker also acknowledges and agrees that Maker Marketplace may (but shall have no obligation to) calculate composite feedback numbers, scores, or other ratings based on User feedback. Maker acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Maker Marketplace be responsible or liable for, and Maker releases Maker Marketplace and holds Maker Marketplace harmless from, any claims that Maker might have as a result of any other User’s comments or feedback about Maker, or any scores, numbers, ratings, or other data or information derived from User comments or feedback, even if that information is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable.

Maker understands and agrees that Maker may be held legally responsible to other Users, Maker Marketplace, or third parties as a result of comments or feedback that Maker submits to the Site. Any effort to falsify feedback, or to manipulate or coerce another User by threatening negative feedback or offering to sell or buy goods or services in exchange for feedback is in violation of this Agreement, and may expose Maker to liability. Other actions that constitute an abuse of the reputation management system and a violation of this Agreement include, but are not limited to, submitting to the feedback system links, profanity, or inappropriate content, shilling, the creation of fraudulent positive reviews designed to inflate a shop's reputation, and contacting Users to provide direct feedback about other Users with whom Maker has interacted, whether or not that feedback is negative.

Maker Marketplace shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to maintain, modify, or delete statements, feedback, comments, or ratings, although shall have no obligation to do so.

Maker Marketplace shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine how search algorithms through the Site will function, including but not limited to determining the manner in which Maker and Maker’s portfolios rank and are listed in response to User searches, and which Project Requests Maker is able to view or respond to.

14. Resolution of a Dispute with a Buyer

In the case of a project issue, Makers shall work directly with Buyers to quickly get issues resolved. Maker agrees that Maker Marketplace is not and shall not be legally responsible or otherwise obligated to resolve a dispute between a Buyer and Maker.

If you believe you have been defrauded by a Buyer, in addition to notifying Maker Marketplace, you should also report the incident to law enforcement as applicable. If you believe you have a civil claim for damages against a Buyer, you should pursue that claim through the judicial system. Maker Marketplace is not equipped to adjudicate legal claims.

If you have a dispute with Maker Marketplace, please see Section #25.

15. Release

Maker agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Maker, for Maker and Maker’s predecessors, successors, and assigns (together, the “Maker Releasors”), releases and forever discharges Maker Marketplace and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, attorneys, contractors, and suppliers (together, the “Maker Marketplace Releasees”) from and against all actions, causes of action, claims, suits, debts, damages, judgments, liabilities, rights, contracts, obligations, and demands, whether now known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that any of the Maker Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature and relating to any subject, excluding the right of Maker to enforce this Agreement according to its terms.
