You should exercise your independent discretion and judgment before downloading any other User Content.

Buying and Selling Items

A. General

GlobeIn provides a venue where Artisans can sell items directly to Buyers. GlobeIn merely provides a platform to enable such sales over the Internet, and is not a party to the sales transactions that occur between Users, which are directly between the applicable Artisan and Buyer. As such, GlobeIn makes no representations as to the accuracy of any item description, or the quality, safety or legality of items sold on the Site, the ability of Buyers to pay for items ordered or the ability of Artisans to fulfill orders, or the true identity of any Artisan, Artisan Helper, Buyer or other User, and expressly disclaims any and all warranties with respect thereto. By using the Site to conduct a transaction whether acting as an Artisan or a Buyer, you agree that any such transactions are conducted at your own risk.

Supported Countries

A. General

GlobeIn currently has paid staff (“Country Managers”) in the following countries: Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Moldova, Russia, and Uzbekistan (a single country a “Supported Country”, collectively “Supported Countries”). Country Managers are available to provide Artisans with Fulfillment Services as well as assist Buyers wanting to communicate directly with Artisans. An Artisan residing in a Supported Country is not required to utilize the assistance of a Country Manager, so long as the Artisan agrees to comply with Section 14(B) of these Terms.

B. Prior Approvals

All Artisan Profiles created for Artisans living in Supported Countries, regardless of whether or not Artisans waive the Fulfillment Services (defined below), must be approved by a Country Manager before the Artisan Profile can be posted to the Site. A Country Manager may accept or reject any Artisan Profile in its sole discretion, or remove an Artisan Profile after having previously accepted it at any time. GlobeIn takes no responsibility for such decisions effects, financial or otherwise, on Artisans

Payment Processing and Fees

A. Fees

Artisans and Artisan Helpers may create an “Artisan Profile” (i.e. a posting on the Site featuring pictures and/or videos of the Artisan and the items the Artisan is offering for sale) for free. Artisans in Supported Countries have the option of either handling their own shipping and fulfillment for orders placed through the Site or utilizing a Country Manager to handle shipping and fulfillment (“Fulfillment Services”). For Artisans utilizing Fulfillment Services (“Supported Artisans”) GlobeIn will add a 25% listing premium to every item sold through the Site. By way of example, if a Supported Artisan lists an item for $10 on the Site, GlobeIn will add a $2.50 premium to listing price, so that potential Buyers will see a list price of $12.50. If a Buyer purchases the item, the Supported Artisan will receive $10 and GlobeIn will receive $2.50. For Artisans who waive GlobeIn’s Fulfillment Services or live outside a Supported Country (collectively “Unsupported Artisans”) GlobeIn will add a 5% listing premium to every item the Unsupported Artisan lists on the site. These premiums will be accumulated and collected by GlobeIn on a monthly basis by sending a bill to the Unsupported Artisans. GlobeIn reserves the right to change or modify its service fees at any time and for any reason.

B. Payment Processing

When a Buyer purchases an item on the Site from a Supported Artisan, a single, direct payment is made to GlobeIn for the total amount of the sale. After receiving payment GlobeIn will distribute amounts owed to Supported Artisans in a manner of GlobeIn’s choosing, which may include, without limitation, cash, electronic delivery, direct deposit, or physical check. GlobeIn will not accept payments on behalf of Unsupported Artisans for any reason. Unsupported Artisans are responsible for their own payment processing and must set up individual accounts with PayPal or other similar services to facilitate sales through the Site.

C. Refunds and Chargebacks

Unsupported Artisans are responsible for all customer refunds and any chargebacks incurred as a result of disputed transactions involving the Unsupported Artisan. A chargeback occurs when a Maven Money cardholder contacts their bank to dispute a charge. A Buyer may contact his or her bank to initiate a chargeback if the Buyer is dissatisfied with the purchase (i.e. the items never arrived or when they arrived the items weren’t as advertised) or when the purchase was unauthorized (i.e. made by someone other than the cardholder). For each chargeback that occurs, GlobeIn will charge the Unsupported Artisan a $25 USD fee. This fee will be deducted from any amounts owed to the Unsupported Artisan or if no amounts are due the Unsupported Artisan will be sent an electronic invoice, payable upon receipt. GlobeIn will handle all refunds and chargebacks for Supported Artisans.

Artisan Requirements and Responsibilities

A. General

By listing items on the Site you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and will (i) maintain accurate, up to date GlobeIn user account information that includes your true identity, physical address, and where applicable, e-mail address and phone number; (ii) accurately describe the item(s) you are offering for sale and refrain from making any deceptive, misleading or false claims about the item (including without limitation the condition or utility of the item); (ii) not offer or sell any item which is illegal, controlled, or regulated, or is on our list of Prohibited Items [Link to Prohibited Items List]; and (v) not list any item for sale on the Site with a list price of over $100 USD without prior approval from GlobeIn. Artisans may create only a single Artisan Profile, and may not have more than ten (10) items listed for sale at any given time without permission from GlobeIn. You represent that you own and have the right to sell and transfer to third parties the item(s) you have listed for sale. By listing an item for sale on the Site you represent that you are able to fulfill any order placed by a User, if not with the exact item the User ordered, then with a comparable item approved by the User.

B. Services Waiver

If you waive Fulfillment Services by checking the waiver box during the creation of your Artisan Profile or you do not reside in a Supported Country as described in Section 12(A), then you represent that you (i) are capable of shipping your item(s) to any User located anywhere in the world; (ii) are able to receive money transfers from GlobeIn via wire or standard post; and (iii) have the means to communicate directly with Users via e-mail, Skype or telephone.

Artisan Helper Requirements and Responsibilities

A. General

By registering as an Artisan Helper on the Site you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and you will (i) maintain accurate, up to date GlobeIn user account information that includes your true identity, physical address, e-mail address and phone number; (ii) accurately describe the item(s) the Artisan is offering for sale and refrain from making any deceptive, misleading or false claims about the item (including without limitation the condition or utility of the item); (iii) not offer or sell any item which is illegal, controlled, or regulated, or is on our list of Prohibited Items [Link to Prohibited Items List]; and (iv) not list any item for sale on the Site with a list price of over $100 USD without prior approval from GlobeIn. You may create only one Artisan Profile per Artisan, and may not list more than ten (10) items for sale at any given time without permission from GlobeIn.

B. Volunteer Status

Artisan Helpers are not employees of GlobeIn and do not receive any compensation for interacting with Artisans or other Users. By registering to become an Artisan Helper you agree to volunteer your time by assisting Artisans in the creation of Artisan Profiles and/or responding to Assistance Requests (defined below). The amount of time you choose to volunteer is within your sole discretion. As an Artisan Helper, you agree that any assistance, services, or help you may provide to GlobeIn, Artisans, or other Users is performed gratis.

C. Permissions

Before creating any Artisan Profile you agree that you will obtain the consent of the Artisan to take photos and/or videos of the Artisan and/or the Artisan’s items before posting photos or videos of either to the Site. GlobeIn will not be responsible for any claims by Artisans or other third parties that you have violated their rights of privacy, publicity, or any similar rights. To avoid any misunderstandings, where possible, you agree to communicate with Artisans in the Artisans’ native language(s) either directly or through the use of an interpreter.

D. Prohibited Behavior

By becoming an Artisan Helper you agree not to request money, favors or free items from Artisans, withhold payment from or delay payment to Artisans, misrepresent your relationship to GlobeIn (i.e. by pretending to be an employee) or otherwise engage in any type of fraudulent behavior with respect to Artisans. GlobeIn may terminate the account of any Artisan Helper it knows or suspects to be engaged in any of the aforementioned activities.

E. GlobeIn Requests for Assistance

From time to time GlobeIn may request Artisan Helpers assist with transactions or take photos and video of Artisans or Artisans’ items for posting on the Site (“Assistance Request”). Whether or not an Artisan Helper responds to an Assistance Request is within the sole discretion of the Artisan Helper. Responding to an Assistance Request could require travel to foreign countries which involves inherent risks and dangers such as theft, kidnapping, illness, property damage, personal injury or death. By answering an Assistance Request you agree to assume any and all risk associated with providing the assistance. GlobeIn will not be liable for any damage, loss, or injury you may suffer in connection with your responding to the Assistance Request. For the sake of clarity, any activities you choose to undertake as part of an Assistance Request are performed solely at your own risk.

Disputes with Other Users

GlobeIn does not have any control over the actions of Users, nor can we ensure that any User will comply with these Terms, or with any separate terms on which Users may interact with each other. If you have a dispute with another User, including any dispute with an Artisan, that dispute is directly between you and the other User, and you release GlobeIn (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says:

Ratings

A. Generally

Any rating and feedback features GlobeIn may make available are solely for use for the bona-fide purpose of submitting feedback regarding the experience you had with the recipient of your rating or review. Any other use, misuse, or abuse of such rating and feedback systems is strictly prohibited. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, i) you may not threaten to submit negative feedback or withhold positive feedback in order to receive benefits beyond those to which you are entitled (such as goods or services beyond those listed and purchased), ii) You may not condition performance of any obligation you incur through your use of the Service (such as the completion of any sale) on submission of positive feedback, and iii) You may not submit feedback or ratings for the purpose of manipulating another User’s rating.

B. Publicly Available

Rating and feedback information submitted by a User may be made available through the Service to other Users.

C. Sole Remedy

Without prejudice to any rights or remedies you may have vis a vis any third party, submission of a negative rating or review is the sole remedy you have with GlobeIn for any dissatisfaction you may have with a transaction.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, GLOBEIN HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY GLOBEIN.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL GLOBEIN, ITS OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, SITE CONTENT, THIRD PARTY MATERIALS OR THE SITE; (II) THE USE OR ACCESS OF OR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT; OR (III) PLANS MADE OR INFORMATION ACQUIRED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (I) ANY FEES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CANCELLED, INTERRUPTED OR DELAYED PLANS; (II) ANY FEES OR COSTS RESULTING FROM MISINFORMATION OR FAILURES IN COMMUNICATION; (III) AND ANY ACCIDENTS OR UNEXPECTED EVENTS OTHERWISE, WHETHER BASED IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF GLOBEIN IS EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL GLOBEIN, ITS OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED GREATER THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500).

Limitations; Basis of the Bargain

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, YOU AGREE THAT BECAUSE SUCH WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND GLOBEIN, AND ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GLOBEIN, GLOBEIN’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT GLOBEIN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER THE SERVICE TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

A. Generally

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and GlobeIn in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and GlobeIn agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and GlobeIn are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

B. Exceptions

Notwithstanding subsection (A), we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

C. Arbitrator

Any arbitration between you and GlobeIn will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting GlobeIn.

D. Notice; Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). GlobeIn's address for Notice is: GlobeIn World, Inc., 799 Castro St, San Francisco, CA, 94114. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but If we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or GlobeIn may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or GlobeIn shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, GlobeIn shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by GlobeIn in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award.

E. Fees

In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, GlobeIn will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse GlobeIn for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

F. No class actions

YOU AND GLOBEIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and GlobeIn agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

G. Modifications

In the event that GlobeIn makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the GlobeIn's address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to GlobeIn's address for Notice, in which case your account with GlobeIn shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.

H. Enforceability

If only Subsection F of this Section 24 or the entirety of this Section 24 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described elsewhere in Section 26 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

Notices

GlobeIn may provide you with notices by electronic mail, regular mail or postings on the Service, and you agree to electronic delivery of all such notices. If Notice is provided by electronic mail, notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after electronic mail is sent, unless GlobeIn is notified that the electronic mail address is invalid. If notice is provided by posting through the Service, then notice will be deemed given upon such posting. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by the laws of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and GlobeIn agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. This is the entire agreement between you and GlobeIn relating to the subject matter herein, and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between you and GlobeIn with respect to said subject matter. These Terms shall not be modified or waived except in a writing signed by both parties, or by a change to these Terms as provided in Section 18, above. In the event any of the provisions of these Terms are held unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provisions shall be deemed severed, and the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of GlobeIn to enforce, in any one or more instances, any of the provisions herein shall not be construed as a waiver of the prior or future performance of any such terms or conditions. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and GlobeIn as a result of these Terms or use of the Service. You further acknowledge that by submitting User Content, no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied, or other relationship is created between you and GlobeIn other than pursuant to these Terms. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GlobeIn without restriction, including by operation of law, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which this agreement pertains. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void. The headings and captions in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.
