SELLING AND BUYING
Definitions.
“User” means a person who uses a Site or the Services.
“Item” means anything that is posted for sale, sold, or purchased through a Site. Singular and plural may be used interchangeably.
“Seller” means a User who posts for sale or sells an Item.
“Bidder” means a User who places an auction bid on an Item.
“Buyer” means a User who purchases an Item.
“Transaction” means the purchase and sale of an Item.
“Charity” means an entity that has represented itself to Stuff for Good to be, or that Stuff for Good has assessed to be, described in § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and a public charity that either is not a supporting organization or is specifically identified under § 509(a)(3) as described in § 509(a)(3)(B)(i), § 509(a)(3)(B)(ii), or § 509(a)(3)(B)(iii) if functionally integrated.
The “Foundation” means Givinga Foundation, a Delaware corporation and donor advised fund sponsor whose federal tax ID number is 47-4172718.
The “Admin Fee” means the portion of proceeds from each Transaction due to Stuff for Good, as specified below.
“USPS” means the United States Postal Service.
“Hand Deliver” means the process of the Seller’s intended delivery (or causing the delivery) of the purchased Item to the Buyer (or someone who is present at the request, direction, or cause of the Buyer) without the use of USPS or other shipping service.
General Terms for Sellers and Buyers. The Sites and Services provide a platform through which Sellers may sell, and Buyers may purchase, Items for the benefit of Charities. Stuff for Good is not a party to any Transaction.
Additional Auction Terms. If you are a Bidder, you agree to pay the purchase price plus any applicable shipping cost for the Item within five days of the end of the auction if you are the highest Bidder when the auction ends. You may retract your bid prior to the end of the auction. The foregoing also applies in the event another User places a bid higher than yours and subsequently retracts that bid, causing you once again to become the highest Bidder.
There are two exceptions to the prior paragraph. The first exception occurs when a Seller has specified a bid that must be reached in order for the Item to sell (a “Reserve Price”). If a Reserve Price has been specified and has not been reached, the highest Bidder will not have the opportunity to purchase or pay for the Item. The second exception occurs when a Buyer has used the option to make immediate payment for the Item (the “Buy Now Option”). In that case, the price paid by the Buyer may or may not be higher than the highest auction bid; yet the Item will be sold to the Buyer utilizing the Buy Now Option, causing the auction to end immediately with no sale to the highest Bidder.
If you are a Seller, you acknowledge (i) that the highest Bidder has five days to pay for the auctioned Item, (ii) that Stuff for Good has no obligation to enforce terms against the highest Bidder in the event payment is not made within five days, and (iii) that the Item may sell for less than the highest bid in the event that the Buy Now Option is utilized. You also agree not to place bids on an Item you are selling or to cause bids to be placed on an Item you are selling for the purpose of artificially increasing the purchase price.
Deductions from Proceeds. If you are a Seller, you acknowledge, agree, and direct that none of the Buyer’s payment will be remitted directly to you; that credit card fees, shipping, and/or any other applicable costs will be deducted from the total amount paid by the Buyer; and that Stuff for Good will receive an Admin Fee of 5% of the sale price.
Proceeds to Benefit Charities. Users acknowledge that Transactions are intended to benefit Charities. Sellers hereby direct net proceeds from the sale of Items to be remitted to the Foundation. Sellers further recommend that available proceeds from the sale of Items be granted from the Foundation to the Charity identified at the time the Items are posted for sale. Charities generally receive an amount equal to the Seller’s gross proceeds for the sale of Items less the following deductions: (i) credit card fees and (ii) Admin Fee. If applicable, shipping costs and taxes are also deducted from the Buyer’s payment. Buyers may choose to make a charitable contribution to cover the credit card fees (a “Card Fees Contribution”) and/or to make an additional charitable contribution (an “Additional Charitable Contribution”) with the intention of helping Charities. Accordingly, Buyers hereby recommend that such contributions be further directed to benefit the Charity specified at the time the Item is purchased. Contributions are nonrefundable and are generally effective at the end of the Refund Period. However, Additional Charitable Contributions are effective immediately upon payment. The Foundation accepts advice regarding grants to Charities and makes grants in accordance with its policies and purposes and in its sole discretion as a public charity. You acknowledge and agree that neither Stuff for Good nor the Foundation is responsible for the Content (as defined below) posted by Charities or responsible to ensure any particular use by the Charities of grants they may receive from the Foundation. The assets held in donor advised funds of the Foundation are nonrefundable and are the Foundation’s property, subject to the Foundation’s exclusive legal control. Grant funds can be used only for charitable purposes and not for the benefit of the donor or donor advisor, or for any purpose conferring impermissible private benefit.
Timing of Charitable Contribution Receipts. Stuff for Good facilitates receipts via email for Users who make charitable contributions. Although there may be some time lapse before an email is received, unless Stuff for Good is notified of a request for refund, Users can generally expect to receive charitable contribution receipts as follows: Sellers can expect to receive a charitable contribution receipt approximately fifteen days after the end of the Refund Period, as defined below. Buyers who make a Card Fees Contribution can expect to receive a charitable contribution receipt approximately fifteen days after the end of the Refund Period. Buyers who make an Additional Charitable Contribution can expect to receive a charitable contribution receipt shortly following payment of the contribution.
Refunds. Users agree to a period of thirty days commencing upon the payment for an Item (the “Refund Period”) in which the purchase price, less any nonrefundable costs or fees, may be requested to be returned to the Buyer. Nonrefundable costs and fees may include shipping and/or any other costs or fees incurred related to the Transaction. If nonrefundable costs and fees are more than the purchase price, the refund may be disallowed. Additional Charitable Contributions will not be refunded.
Stuff for Good encourages Buyers who wish to request a refund to contact Sellers directly through the messaging function on the Item’s listing page on the Site for the purpose of agreeing upon whether a refund should be made. In the event that Buyers and Sellers cannot agree upon whether a refund should be made, Users acknowledge, agree, and direct that Stuff for Good, in its sole discretion, may decide whether a refund should be made. If a refund is agreed upon or if the Buyer and Seller cannot agree and request Stuff for Good to make a refund decision, notification must be made via telephone call or voice message to Stuff for Good at __________ before the end of the Refund Period. Please note that, if the Buyer (or someone by the Buyer’s request, direction, or cause) has received the purchased Item by Hand Delivery, Stuff for Good will generally determine that no refund should be made.
If an Item for which a refund has been approved is in the possession of the Buyer, the Buyer is responsible for the cost and/or effort to return the Item to the Seller. If the Item has not been returned to the Seller within thirty days after Stuff for Good was initially notified of the request for refund, notification must be made via telephone call or voice message to Stuff for Good at __________ by the forty-fifth day after Stuff for Good was initially notified of the request for refund. If Stuff for Good has not been notified within 45 days, as described above, that the Item has not been returned to the Seller, the refund will be eligible to be returned to the Buyer approximately 45 to 75 days after the request for refund. However, a refund may be made to the Buyer in fewer than 45 days if Stuff for Good determines that the Item is still in or has been returned to the Seller’s possession. If Stuff for Good, in its sole discretion, determines that the Item is not in the Seller’s possession within thirty days after Stuff for Good was initially notified of the request for refund, no refund will be sent, and Users agree that the Buyer will have no further recourse for refund. An exception to the preceding sentence is that a refund may still be available to the Buyer if Stuff for Good determines that the Buyer took reasonable steps to return the Item.
User Responsibility. Users must comply with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. Stuff for Good makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding, and hereby disclaims all warranties and representations of any kind regarding, (i) the accuracy of Users’ content, listings, or claims; (ii) the quality, authenticity, safety, legality, or existence of the Items offered; (iii) Sellers’ rights or ability to offer listed Items; (iv) Buyer’s ability to purchase Items; or (v) that any User will complete a Transaction or otherwise comply with the Terms.

In that case, the Removing Parties have the right, but not the obligation, to remove content with or without notification.
Obligations of Buyer. When you are a Buyer,
- Within 24 hours of purchase, you must send a message to the Seller through the Site to arrange a date, time, and place to meet to receive the purchased Item.

- You must comply with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, laws and regulations regarding reporting purchases and remitting all applicable taxes.
Formal Contracts, Transfer of Ownership. The Sites(s) may facilitate non-binding expressions of intent to purchase or sell real estate or motor vehicles. However, no action taken through the Site(s) may be construed to be a formal contract between any Buyer or Seller for the purchase or sale of real estate or motor vehicles. However, if funds are paid through the Site(s) for real estate or motor vehicles, the terms in this User Agreement regarding purchases and sales will be followed for the purpose of flow of funds and any other purpose(s) besides a formal contract for purchase or sale.

No other provision of the Terms may be construed contrary to the foregoing statements in this paragraph.
Shipping. You agree to select the correct location, type of packaging, weight, and size, as applicable, for use as shipping information. In order to allow for tracking and completion of contributions, Items shipped to the Buyer must only be shipped from the United States of America using the prepaid USPS label provided by Stuff for Good. Such shipments are insured based on the purchase price of the Item, package type, and service class. Information regarding USPS insurance claims can be found on the USPS website. Note that Stuff for Good must receive all applicable information for a claim no later than 21 days before the USPS claims filing period expires. (This filing period may be 60 days from the mailing date.) If the claim is for a damaged shipment, you must retain the damaged shipment (including wrapping, packaging, and contents). USPS may require you to turn the damaged shipment over to a post office for inspection, retention, and disposition, in accordance with the claim decision.
In the event of notice of loss of or damage to an Item being sent to the Buyer, Stuff for Good, in its sole discretion, may request a refund to the Buyer and may make, or work with a third party to make, a USPS insurance claim and may recommend an amount equal to the net proceeds related to any approved shipping claim for the benefit of the Seller’s intended Charity in much the same manner as if the proceeds had been from the original sale. The claim proceeds, if any, may be a different amount than the original purchase price.
You acknowledge that Stuff for Good is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping. You agree not to use the USPS label provided by Stuff for Good to mail or cause to be mailed, or ship or cause to be shipped, any item(s) in a manner that violates applicable law and/or USPS regulations.
