Terms of Service
(Effective as of January 1, 2024)

Welcome to Closet Clean Out by Return To Vendor!We are Again Recommerce, Inc., (also known as, The Again Co.). We’ll refer to ourselves and our subsidiaries as “The Again Co.” or just “we”, “our”, or “us”. We operate this store on behalf of Return To Vendor.

Every member of our community is expected to follow certain rules to ensure that our store remains safe, respectful, and fun. Those rules are outlined in this document, and the various other documents that are referenced below, which we’ll refer to collectively as the “Terms”.

These Terms form a legally binding contract between you and us. They set out your rights and responsibilities when you visit or use our store and the various other services we provide, which we’ll refer to collectively as our “Services”. Please read these Terms carefully. By using any of our Services, you’re agreeing to these Terms. If you don’t agree with these Terms, you may not use our Services.

Please note that Section 11 contains an arbitration clause and a class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis (and not on a class-wide or consolidated basis), and you are waiving your right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury.

1. Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, shared, and otherwise processed when you use our Services. By using our Services, you agree that we can process, transfer, and store your information according to our Privacy Policy.

2. Your Account

You’ll need to register for an account to use our Services. There are a few rules that you have to follow in order to create (and keep) an account.

A. You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. If you are 13 through 18 years old, you are permitted to use our Services through an account owned by your parent or legal guardian so long as you have their permission to do so and you are under their supervision when using the account.

A. Content that you post using our Services (such as photos or videos you upload and listing descriptions your write) belongs to you. We’ll refer to that content as “Your Content”. Except for the license you grant to us described below, you retain all rights in Your Content, and we don’t make any claim to it.

5. Shopping in Our Store

A. Our store features products sold by Return To Vendor and third parties. While we facilitate the transaction between a shopper and a seller, we are not part of that transaction. When you make a purchase in our store, you are buying directly from Return To Vendor. or the third party that listed that item for sale, and not from us. We may not review listings, and we therefore do not guarantee or endorse any of the items listed for sale in our store. However, we are here to help address any violation of our policies, and to help resolve concerns. Each listing will identify the seller.

B. Items cannot be returned. All purchases are final, and cannot be returned. However, purchases from third parties (but not those from Return To Vendor) are subject to our Purchase Protection Program, and a refund may be issued in accordance with the terms of that program.

C. If your order was never shipped or delivered, we will automatically issue you a refund. If your order does not ship within the timeframe specified in our shipping policy, or we discover that the shipment was lost in transit, we will automatically cancel your order and issue you a refund.

D. We offer a Purchase Protection Program for purchases made from third parties. Our Purchase Protection program is designed to ensure that you get what you purchased. In the event that you run into an issue with your purchase from a third party, we will step in to help resolve it as best we can, which may include cancelling your order issuing you a refund. If you wish to file a claim, you must do so by rejecting the item in question within two (2) days after it is delivered. If you do not reject the item within that time, the item will be automatically accepted and your right to reject it will be forfeited. The option to reject the order can be found in the purchase history section of your account or in the delivery confirmation email that you will receive. You will be required to provide supporting information to file the claim – please be as clear and thorough as possible. Your claim must be based on one of the following reasons:

The item you received is not as described in the listing (for example, it is the wrong size or color, or in a poorer condition than described in the listing);
The item you received is different from the one described in the listing (for example, you ordered a shirt but received pants);
The item you received was damaged during transit; or
The item you received is not authentic.

The information you provide to us will be shared with the seller. The seller will have two (2) days to respond. The seller’s response will be shared with you. If the seller does not respond in time, your claim will be automatically decided in your favor.

If we decide in your favor, you will receive a full refund of the purchase price, including taxes and shipping. As a condition to receiving your refund though, you must ship the item back to the seller within two (2) days after we issue our decision. At that time, we will provide you with a pre-paid shipping label – you must use this shipping label when shipping the item. When the item is delivered to the seller (we’ll track it), your refund will be issued. If you do not ship the item on time, our decision will be reversed and you will forfeit your refund. If, however, we decide in favor of the seller, the sale will remain in place and you will not receive a refund.

Items that are altered, used, or damaged after being received, or that were purchased through a method other than our checkout system, are not eligible for our Shopper Protection Program.

6. Suspension and Termination

A. You may terminate your account at any time. You may do so from your account. When you terminate your account, Your Content will be automatically removed from the Services. However, purchases or sales that were made prior to the termination must still be completed, and all of the fees associated with those transactions (including our fees and fees owed to sellers) will remain due and must be paid.

B. We may suspend or terminate your account. If we have reason to believe that you, Your Content, or your use of our Services violates these Terms, we may suspend or terminate your account. We will try to notify you that your account has been suspended or terminated, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so, or you’ve repeatedly violated these Terms. If your account is suspended or terminated, you will no longer have the right to continue to use our Services. As we mentioned above, if your account is terminated, you may lose Your Content, and any obligations relating to sales and purchases made prior to the termination must be fulfilled.

C. We may discontinue providing our Services. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue as part of our Services at any time and for any reason. We will not be liable to you for the effect that any changes to our Services may have on you, including your income or your ability to generate revenue from our Services.

D. These Terms will remain in effect after your access to the Service is terminated or your use of the Services ends.

7. Assumption of Risk

A. We do not store or inspect any of the items sold through our Services. We cannot and do not make any warranties about the quality, safety, or authenticity of the items being sold in our store. Any legal claim related to an item you purchase must be made directly against the seller of the item. You release us from any claims, demands, and damages related to items purchased through our Services, including for defective items, misrepresentations by sellers, or items that caused injury.

B. We do not review listings. You may come across materials that you find offensive or inappropriate while using our Services. We make no representations concerning any content posted to the Services, and are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or decency of content that you access through the Services. You release us from all liability relating to that content.

C. We do not screen members of our community. You may use the Services to interact with other individuals online. However, you understand that we do not investigate, verify, or otherwise screen individuals using our Services other than to meet certain compliance and legal obligations.

D. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that we don’t own or control. You may need to use a third party’s product or service in order to use some features of our Services. These third parties may require that you accept their terms of service. Those agreements are between you and that third party. We are not a party to those agreements. When you access those third-party services, you do so at your own risk.

8. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT REPRESENT THAT OUR SERVICES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUR SERVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE, NOR OUR EMPLOYEES OR DIRECTORS, SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION ON INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

9. Indemnification

If we get sued by a third party because of something that you did, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us (and our employees and directors) harmless from any claim, demand, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that arise from your actions, your use of our Services, your breach of the Terms, or your infringement of someone else’s rights. We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

10. Disputes with Us

If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at legal@theagain.co so we can work together to resolve the dispute informally. If we can’t, then you agree that any dispute or claim relating to these Terms will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section), unless otherwise required by law. Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. Judgement on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.

Arbitrations may be filed where you reside, or in Santa Clara County, California. Any in-person hearings will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient for both parties. Arbitrations for disputes alleging damages of less than $10,000 may be conducted telephonically or via video conference.

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, we are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of us has the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may assert your claim in small claims court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis.

We each agree that for any arbitration that you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and we will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. For any arbitration that we initiate, will pay the filing fee as well as the remaining AAA fees and costs.

Any claim arising out of, or related to, these Terms or our Services must be filed within one (1) year after that claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

If we make any changes to this section after the date you last accepted the Terms, those changes will not apply to any claims initiated prior to the date the changes became effective. However, new claims made after the date the changes became effective will be subject to those changes.

11. Miscellaneous

A. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state courts sitting in Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts of the United States sitting in San Francisco County, California.

B. We may modify these terms from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we will provide you with notice of such changes, which may include sending an email, providing a notice through the Services, or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Changes will be effective upon posting, unless otherwise specified. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

C. You may request that your content be removed. If content that you own or have rights to has been posted to our Services without your permission and you want it removed, please notify us promptly at legal@theagain.co. Your notice must include all of the information specified in 17 U.S.C §512(c)(3).

D. A few more legal terms. If any portion of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that portion is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for your and our benefit, and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchisee relationship between you and us. These Terms (including all of the policies that make up the Terms) supersede any other agreement between you and us regarding the Services. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms. If you have questions about these Terms, please email us at legal@theagain.co.
