PLEASE REVIEW THIS SECTION 21 CAREFULLY.

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Site, Mobile Application, and Services shall be deemed solely based in Michigan; and (b) the Site, Mobile Application, and Services shall be deemed not to give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Michigan. These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any case, controversy, suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, in connection with, or related to these Terms and Conditions, the Site, the Mobile Application or the Services shall be settled by binding individual arbitration in Holland, Michigan. The arbitration shall be conducted on a confidential basis pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The party seeking to initiate arbitration must notify the adverse party in writing of a Demand for Arbitration. If the parties cannot mutually agree on an acceptable arbitrator within twenty days after the adverse party has received the Demand for Arbitration from the initiating party, the parties shall submit a joint-request for arbitration to the American Arbitration Association ( “AAA”), and shall allow the AAA to select the arbitrator. Any decision or award as a result of any such arbitration proceeding shall be in writing and shall provide an explanation for all conclusions of law and fact and shall include the assessment of costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators each experienced in commercial contract disputes for at least seven (7) years and each having presided over at least five (5) previous arbitration matters, and shall include a written record of the arbitration hearing. The parties reserve the right to object to any potential arbitrator who is employed by or affiliated with a competing organization or entity thereby resulting in a conflict-of-interest. An award of arbitration may be confirmed in a court of the State of Michigan, and in the event of non-compliance with the arbitration ruling, the prevailing party may seek to enforce the arbitration decision in the Michigan courts.

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE GOODIES FACTORY, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY), WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE MOBILE APPLICATION OR THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 21, (a) we shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief and specific performance from any court of competent jurisdiction, for example, to stop you from using the Site, the Mobile Application or the Services in a manner that violates these Terms and Conditions, and (b) you shall be entitled to bring an individual action in small claims court.

22. Timing of a Claim.
ARBITRATION MUST BE INITIATED BY THE AGGRIEVED PARTY WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE ALLEGED CONDUCT THAT MAY GIVE RISE TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTED MATTER TO BE ARBITRATED THAT ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THE SITE, MOBILE APPLICATIONS, SERVICES AND/OR THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF ARBITRATION IS NOT INITIATED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF A DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION COMING INTO EXISTENCE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION CANNOT BE PURSUED AND IS PERMANENTLY BARRED FROM ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION.

23. Prevailing Parties.
In the event of any action to enforce or interpret any provision of these Terms and Conditions, including arbitration proceedings, the prevailing party is entitled to recover, in addition to other costs, reasonable attorney fees in connection with the suit, action, or arbitration, and in any appeals. The determination of who is the prevailing party and the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees to be paid to the prevailing party will be decided by the tribunal in which the matter is heard, tried, or decided, including any arbitration panel, court(s), or appellate court(s).

24. Entire Agreement.
You agree that these Terms and Conditions (including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy and the Fundraising Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to your use of the Site, Mobile Application, and/or Services. You agree that these Terms and Conditions supersede any other agreements between you and us with respect to your use of the Site, Mobile Application, and/or Services.

Date of Last Revision: July 16, 2020

BY ACCESSING ANY PORTION OF THE SITE OR ANY MOBILE APPLICATIONS, OR BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS FUNDRAISING POLICY. WE WILL INFORM YOU REGARDING ANY MODIFICATIONS BY EITHER NOTIFYING YOU VIA YOUR DESIGNATED EMAIL ADDRESS OR BY POSTING THE CHANGES ON THE SITE.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Terms and Conditions. We may revise this Fundraising Policy from time to time without notice. Please review it carefully on a regular basis, as it may have changed since your last visit.

1. Our Policies.
Our Terms and Conditions, the most recent version of which may be viewed on the Site or through our Mobile Application (the “Terms and Conditions”) and our Privacy Policy, the most recent version of which may be viewed on the Site or through the Mobile Application (the “Privacy Policy”), are hereby incorporated into this Fundraising Policy and made a part hereof. Please read our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy carefully, as the terms and conditions are subject to change. To the extent of any conflict among this Fundraising Policy, the Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy, following shall govern and control in the following order: (a) the Privacy Policy, (b) this Fundraising Policy; and (c) the Terms and Conditions.

2. Fundraisers.
As a part of the Services, we have created a fundraising service platform ( “Fundraising Service”) that allows users to create their own online store or shop pages through the Mobile Application (each a “Store” or “Shop”) and promote the Stores via social media and other online channels approved in writing in advance by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Goodies Factory reserves the right to discontinue any Fundraising Service at any time.

1. Organizers:
An organizer (“Organizer”), is an authorized individual who accesses and manages fundraiser information and/or information about the beneficiary of the fundraiser. For illustrative purposes, an Organizer may be a gym owner, program director, coach, team parent, or parent who accesses and manages gym/program/team/studio information. Organizers are able to create an “Organizer Account” on the Site or on the Mobile Application that will allow them to add a fundraiser to their Organizer Account and to edit their fundraiser profiles, including names, addresses, and as well as payout information of Sellers (as defined below). Only Organizers can select whether proceeds from a fundraiser will ultimately be paid to an organization or directly to Sellers as beneficiary/ies of the fundraiser. Organizers must be able to accept payments to accounts or addresses based in the United States; at this time, The Goodies Factory cannot and will not send payments outside of the United States.

2. Sellers:
A seller (“Seller”) is a user and fundraiser participant who sells products through The Goodies Factory’s platform by creating a Seller account (“Seller Account”) and an associated Store. For illustrative purposes, a Seller may be a team member, student, parent, or guardian. Each Seller must be associated in our records with an Organizer. An Organizer may also be a Seller. Each Seller may create and maintain only one Seller Account. Creating multiple Seller Accounts, using aliases or proxy Seller Accounts, or engaging in similar conduct designed to conceal a Seller’s true identity or to enable a Seller to transact business with The Goodies Factory under more than one Seller Account is strictly prohibited. A Seller may create a Seller Account only on the Mobile Application and manage the associated Store on the Mobile Application and Site. Sellers must be able to accept payments to accounts or addresses based in the United States; at this time, The Goodies Factory cannot and will not send payments outside of the United States. A Seller shall have no claims against us with respect to an Organizer’s handling of sale proceeds.

3. Buyers:
A buyer (“Buyer”) is any user that purchases products from a Store. A Buyer may also be a Seller, Organizer or both. A Buyer may purchase products from a Store through either the Site or the Mobile Application. Buyers must be able to make payments from an account in the United States and to accept shipments at an address in the United States; at this time, The Goodies Factory cannot and will not accept payments from outside of the United States or ship goods outside of the United States.

4. Our Platform:
We provide a platform for fundraising. We are not a broker, financial institution, creditor or charity. All information and content provided by through our platform relating to fundraising is for informational purposes only, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or reliability of any such information or content. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding any donations, you should consult your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor as appropriate. We have no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, any fundraiser. We do not guarantee that a fundraiser will obtain a certain amount of donations or any donations at all. We do not endorse any campaign or cause except as expressly stated in writing, and we make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any campaign. As a donor, you must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any campaign. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised very seriously. If you have reason to believe that an Organizer is not raising or using the funds for their stated purpose, please alert our team of this potential issue and we will investigate.

5. Prohibited Conduct:
The following are examples of User Content and/or use that is prohibited and possibly illegal. This list is not exhaustive and we reserve the right to investigate anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates any of the terms or spirit of this Fundraising Policy and the Terms of Use. We further reserve without limitation, the right to remove the offending User Content, suspend or terminate the account of such violators, stop payments to any such fundraiser, freeze or place a hold on donations, and report you to law enforcement authorities or otherwise take appropriate legal action including seeking restitution on behalf of ourselves and/or our users. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to use the Services to:

3. Procedures.
As a part of the Fundraising Service:

1. The Organizer will receive a sign-up link by email to share with potential Sellers. Sellers will click on the link to create/open a Store. After the Store is opened, Sellers share the link to the Store with potential Buyers for them to buy products from the Store.

2. We will use the information you provide to: (i) manage your account; (ii) provide you and your contacts with customer support; (iii) process payment for any purchases made; (iv) enforce our Terms and Conditions; and (v) manage our business.

3. We also may disclose your information:
o (i) In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
o (ii) When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our terms and conditions or other agreements or policies.

4. We will not share, sell, use or otherwise distribute the contacts or communicate with the contacts you provide us other than for providing the Fundraising Service or if we give you an opportunity to opt out of having your information shared.

4. Payments.

1. Buyer Payments for Products.
If you are a Buyer, you agree to pay in full the prices (and all applicable taxes and shipping and handling fees) for any purchases you make either by credit / debit card concurrent with your online order or by other payment means acceptable to us. If payment is not received by us from your credit or debit card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us. Certain products that you purchase through the Site or the Mobile Application may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of such purchase.

2. Our Payments.
A. Process. A Buyer purchases products online, either through the Site or the Mobile Application, from a Seller’s Store and remits payment to The Goodies Factory for the products’ item price, any applicable taxes, and any applicable shipping and handling costs. The Goodies Factory will ship the products to the Buyer. The Goodies Factory is responsible, where required, for submitting any collected sales tax to the applicable tax collection agencies. The Goodies Factory will pay fifty percent (50%) of the purchased products’ item price (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any taxes, shipping and handling costs, or other fees) (the “Payout”) to the Organizer responsible for the Seller’s Store where Buyer made the purchase. In some circumstances, The Goodies Factory will pay the Payout directly to the Seller, as described below in Section (4)(2)(B).
B. Payment Details. We generally remit payment of the Payout to the Organizers on a weekly basis through a company check. We may remit payment of the Payout directly to the applicable Sellers at our discretion or if the Organizer elects, in its discretion, for payments to be made directly to Sellers, fails to withdraw funds after a period of sixty (60) days, becomes inactive, or otherwise cannot or will not accept the payment. Payments made directly to Sellers will be remitted using a company check. Any transfers of payments among Organizers and Sellers is entirely the responsibility of the Organizers and Sellers and is subject to their separate agreement(s) with each other, to which The Goodies Factory is not a party. For example, Organizers that receive payments on behalf of Sellers are solely responsible for crediting such funds to the Sellers. The Goodies Factory is not responsible or liable for any such transfers or credits or lack thereof. The Goodies Factory’s responsibility with respect to any Payout ends with the payment of the Payout to either the applicable Organizer or Seller(s).
C. Disputes. If an Organizer or a Seller disputes any payment of a Payout, including, without limitation, if an Organizer claims that a payment was owed but not paid or that a Payout was not paid in full, the Organizer or Seller must notify The Goodies Factory of the dispute in writing within six (6) months of when the payment was made or allegedly should have been made. Such notice must include identifying information of the Organizer, Seller, fundraiser, payment amount, payment due date, and an explanation of any alleged discrepancies. If such notice is not timely provided, the dispute is deemed null and void and the Organizer and Seller waive any right to collect the alleged underpaid amount.

3. Claw-backs.
Should any charge-backs, returns, Buyer-side payment cancellations, disputed credit card / debit card charges, voided transactions, insufficient funds/bank-refusals to pay, or similar situations arise, where we are not fully compensated for our products or services (“Buyer Non-Payment”), we reserve the right to treat such transaction as void and deduct any uncollected amounts from either or both of the Seller’s Store and the Organizer’s sales. In addition, if we have transmitted funds to the Organizer or Seller in anticipation of Buyer payment and the payment is a Buyer Non- Payment, the Seller Account will reflect a negative balance to be deducted from the Seller’s future sales.

4. Buyer Returns.
All order cancellations must be made by Buyers within forty-eight (48) hours of making a purchase. If your product arrived damaged or contaminated in any way, please contact us directly at [email protected]. All damaged goods or product quality claims must be made within seven (7) days of delivery, otherwise we shall have no obligations to refund purchase price or replace product. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, WE DO NOT ISSUE REFUNDS AND WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS.

5. Referral Policy.
A “Referral Bonus” is a bonus that we may pay, designed to generate new business prospects for us. Attempts to generate Referral Bonuses for referrals to one’s self, to one’s affiliates, or to Organizers, Sellers, Buyers or others who have been previously referred, are not valid referrals for purposes of the Referral Bonus. Such conduct is strictly prohibited and a violation of this Fundraising Policy. In the event of a disagreement as to whether a proposed referral is eligible for a Referral Bonus, The Goodies Factory’s determination shall be final and binding.

6. Sales Contests.
The Goodies Factory may offer sales contests from time to time, and such sales contests or fundraising competitions will be subject to the terms and conditions of each sales contest. See the official rules which accompany each contest for further details.

7. Transaction History.
Transactions and login sessions may be logged and tracked by us and information about their transactions may appear publicly in the “Recent Buyers” section or other sections of TheGoodiesFactory.com By using the Site, the Mobile Application, and/or the Services, you consent to such tracking and public disclosure of your use of the Site, Mobile Application, Services, transactions and purchases.

8. Anti-Bullying.
You agree not to use our Site, Mobile Application, and/or Services (including, without limitation, the chat function) to bully others. If you become aware of bullying, please report it immediately to: [email protected]. The best protection against bullying is to learn how to recognize it and how to stop it. Here are some tips:
1. If you feel you’re in immediate danger, contact your local authorities.
2. Reach out to a family member, counselor or teacher, who can give you the help and support you need.
3. Print or take a screenshot of it in case you need to share it later.

9. Site Restrictions.
We may, in our sole discretion, without notice or liability, suspend, terminate, limit, or otherwise restrict Organizer accounts, Seller accounts, and/or Buyer accounts, as well as the use of the Site, Mobile Application, and the Services for any conduct we reasonably determine warrants such suspension, termination or restrictions, including but not limited to a violation of terms, illegal activity, damaging or harassing conduct, or any other such user, Buyer, Seller, or Organizer actions that cause difficulty or burden to The Goodies Factory in rendering efficient and effective services.

10. Communications.
By using the Site, the Mobile Application, and/or Services and by providing personal contact information to us, you (whether a User, Buyer, Seller, Organizer or otherwise) consent to and authorize us to contact you and to communicate with you via e-mail, physical mail, text messaging, phone calls and other means. You may opt out of communications by contacting us by email with “opt out” in the subject line or via settings within the Mobile Application. For additional details, refer to the Privacy Policy.
