Last Updated Date: April 28, 2014

Welcome to Fryppery, an online service provided by Trickle, Inc. that allows users to purchase, sell and donate quality used clothing, accessories and other items through our website, accessible at http://www.fryppery.com.

Please read carefully the following terms and conditions (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy, which may be found at http://www.fryppery.com/privacy. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site and Services and all Site Content (defined below), and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Fryppery.

Key Terms related to Content

“Content” means text, graphics, images, music, software, audio, video, information or other materials.

“Fryppery Content” means all Content that we make available through the Site or Service, including any Content licensed from a third party, but excluding Member Content.

“Member” means a person that completes our account registration process, as described under “Account Registration” below.

“Member Content” means all Content that a Member posts, uploads, publishes, submits or transmits to be made available through the Site or Services.

“Site Content” means Member Content and Fryppery Content.

Certain areas of the Site (and your access to or use of certain Services or Site Content) may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions posted for a specific area of the Site, Services or Site Content, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that area of the Site, Services or Site Content.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR SERVICES OR BY POSTING ANY MEMBER CONTENT ON THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE REGISTERED WITH THE SITE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE SITE, SERVICES OR SITE CONTENT. If you accept or agree to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

Modification

Fryppery reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, discontinue or terminate the Site or Services or to modify these Terms, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Site or Services after we have posted a modification on the Site or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Site and the Services.

How Fryppery Works

After you have created an Account (defined below) to become a Member of Fryppery, you may use the Services to buy. sell and donate new or used quality women’s clothing, accessories or other items. You can choose to donate 100% or 50% of the proceeds from the sale of your item to a charity or fundraiser listed on the site. You can also create a fundraiser event on the site. In order to post an item for sale, you may upload images from your computer or import images from your facebook account, each by using the “Add Item” feature of the Site. Please note that your items for sale will be publicly viewable by all visitors to the Site.

Your homepage will show you items posted by other Members, and you may browse other items using the search box, browsing by category, or by charity or fundraiser event.

Title of an item being sold passes from a Member selling an item to a Member purchasing an item upon the item’s delivery by the selling Member. Members are responsible for paying all applicable taxes associated with their use of the Services, (other than taxes based on Fryppery’s income). The Services provide a marketplace enabling users to buy and sell for charity. Fryppery does not take any substantial part in the interaction between Members. For more information on how Fryppery works, check out our FAQ (http://www.Fryppery.com/faq).
