SELLER TERMS

These Seller Terms create a contract between you and Koop Inc. (“Koop”) if you supply goods to Koop.  

HOW IT WORKS

Koop inspects the items you send to us or that we have collected from you in order to list your accepted items for sale through our Services (collectively, the “Property“). After your Clean Out Kit has been processed, Koop will inform you whether any of your items have been accepted for sale on our Services. 

ACCEPTANCE CONDITIONS

Koop only accepts items that meet our strict acceptance standards. We may reject an item for any reason. Each item will be evaluated to determine, in our sole discretion, whether the item (a) is in excellent, new, or like-new condition, and, if needed, whether it has been freshly laundered and completely dried; (b) is free from stains, pilling, holes, odor, and any other signs of excess wear; (c) is in-season and on-trend; (d) is authentic; and (e) for which the representations and warranties you make in the “Your Representations, Warranties, and Indemnification” section below are true. 

RETURN ASSURANCE

You may choose to add Return Assurance for an additional fee for each Clean Out Kit you request (other than Donation Clean Out Bags). If you select Return Assurance, Koop will return items that we do not accept to your address on file. The Return Assurance must be selected and paid before Koop sends out your Clean Out Kit. If a package is lost by a carrier before being received by Koop, the only reimbursement possible will be $100 to the client. If you do not request your items after six (6) months of them being listed on our plateforms, those items will automatically be donated to local charity. Also, if you choose to select the Return Assurance, please provide a list of all items sent within your package directly at hello@ilovekoop.com, in order to receive confirmation from Koop that those items were indeed received and processed, or discarded. Koop cannot be responsible for the return of those items, unless a list of items was provided by email, and confirmed by Koop upon their arrival at the warehouse.

UNACCEPTED ITEMS BECOME THE PROPERTY OF KOOP 

If Return Assurance is not selected, any unaccepted items will immediately and irrevocably become the Property of Koop and will not be returned. Koop reserves the right to sell unaccepted items to third-party textile recyclers or through its other proprietary commercial channels without any obligation to compensate you for such unaccepted items. If you do not agree to the foregoing, please select Return Assurance, or consider the foregoing prior to using our Clean Out service.

UNSOLD ITEMS BECOME THE PROPERTY OF KOOP 

If Return Assurance is not selected, any unsold items, after a period of 90 days listed on the website, will immediately and irrevocably become the Property of Koop and will not be returned. Koop reserves the right to sell unsold items to third-party textile recyclers or through its other proprietary commercial channels without any obligation to compensate you for such unaccepted items. If you do not agree to the foregoing, please select Return Assurance, or consider the foregoing prior to using our Clean Out service.

YOUR REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND INDEMNIFICATION 

You hereby represent and warrant that (a) you have good and marketable title to each item of Property and have the right to sell the Property; (b) none of the Property is subject to any liens or other encumbrances; (c) the Property does not include stolen or counterfeit goods or goods that are illegal to sell; and (d) the Property does not infringe upon, misappropriate, or violate any trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property or other proprietary right of any third party, any state or federal law, or any administrative regulation.

LISTING PRICES

Listing prices are determined by many factors, including the estimated retail price, brand, seasonality, and quality of each item. 

PAYOUTS

Once your item is sold and the buyer keeps the item beyond the eligible return period, you will receive your payout in your account. Your payout will be based on the final selling price and will include any discounts given to clients. However, if the item is returned, your consignment window will start where it left off so that your item has more time to sell, and you will be paid out as soon as the item sells for the second time. 

CASHING OUT

You may use your earnings as Koop online credit or you may cash out your earnings. If you have selected the Donation option, you will be able to select the foundation/charity that you wish to donate your payouts to. To complete your cashing out process, you'll have to follow the instructions in your personal dashboard to transfer your money. All of the non-transferred payouts will be automatically converted to a gift card after one (1) year of the payout being available for transfer. Please note that once your items are listed online, you have 15 days to request a change, or otherwise mention if an item is missing. 

DONATION CLEAN OUT BAGS

Koop may offer you the option to donate the contents of your Clean Out Bag to one of our designated active charity partners. By electing to donate to one of our active charity partners, you authorize Koop and/or its affiliates to receive your donation on behalf of the charity partner. You will not receive a payout for items in your Donation Clean Out Bag; however, you will receive a donation tax receipt from the charity partner.

Koop frequently updates its charity partner relationships, but you can also specify which charity partner you would like your donation bag to go to. 

COUNTERFEIT AND STOLEN ITEMS 

You acknowledge and understand that Koop is subject to laws and regulations relating to claims that consigned items are counterfeit, have been stolen, or otherwise violate applicable law. Koop fully cooperates with law enforcement and brands seeking to track down the source of counterfeit items. For any item with value that exceeds $500, a purchase receipt must be included inside the package containing the item, for authentification purposes. If no purchase receipt is included in the package, those items will be listed based on our regular pricing.

You are responsible for ensuring the authenticity of all Property you provide to us. If Koop cannot verify the authenticity of an item in your Clean Out Bag or it does not otherwise meet our authenticity standards, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse to accept the item. Koop reserves the right to destroy apparel it deems to be counterfeit in accordance with applicable laws. You acknowledge and agree that any item determined by Koop to be counterfeit will not be returned to you and will be destroyed unless Return Assurance is selected. If you purchase an item that you believe to be counterfeit, your only recourse is to obtain a full refund for that item. Koop will not pay any authentication fees paid by you or any third party. Koop does not perform any authentication on items received, and you are responsible for purchasing items on our platforms with full knowledge of the facts. 

TITLE TO PROPERTY 

You will continue to own and have title to each item of Property that we have accepted until that item is “sold“. You will give up ownership of the items if you select to send your items for donation.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Except otherwise stated on the website, shipping for items are free for orders above $75, and a flat fee of $12 will be applied for orders below $75, in Canada. For US orders, a flat rate of $12 for shipping will be applied on all orders. If your order is above $75, you can return your items within 14 days of ordering them for free, or by paying a flat fee of $12 for orders below $75, if you're based in Canada. If you're based in the US, returns are still available within 14 days of ordering your items, but you are responsible for paying the return shipping fees. You can create a return by clicking on "Returns" in the footer menu of our website. For all orders below $75, in Canada or in the US, a flat fee of $9 will be applied for every returns. If you return an item for which you cannot receive a refund, said item will not be returned to you.

Please note that Clean Out Kits are not available for US citizens at the moment. In the event of abusive returns, Koop may limit the number of returns accepted.

PAYOUT AND OTHER DISPUTES 

If there is a dispute between you and Koop, Koop will have no obligation to pay any payout or other amounts due to you, including, without limitation, amounts unrelated to the dispute, unless and until the dispute is resolved. Koop may withhold any payout earnings due to you (including any due for sold items of Property not subject to the dispute) in full or partial satisfaction of any amounts you owe to Koop. If a dispute case is open with a credit card provider, all refund and cancellation of the order will go through the dispute channel. If a dispute is later cancelled by the client, a minimum delay of 30 days will be applicable to receive proper confirmation of the credit card provider dispute cancellation.

ACCOUNT CREDITS

Unless otherwise stated, credit offered to you in consideration for your items that sell will be non-transferable and available for shopping on the Website for a period of one (1) year. Alternatively, shopping credit offered to you in exchange for returns, referrals, or other reasons will be non-transferable and only available for shopping on the Website.

At Koop's discretion, any such credit remaining in your account for more than one (1) year may be converted into a Koop gift card (a “Koop Gift Card”) after providing you with notice to the email address on file. A Koop Gift Card will be issued electronically to the last customer email address on file.

Risk of loss and title for Gift Cards is passed to the purchaser upon electronic transmission to the purchaser or designated recipient. Koop is not responsible for lost or stolen Gift Cards, or for any use of Gift Cards without your or the recipient’s permission. Koop reserves the right to close accounts or request alternative forms of payment if a Gift Card is fraudulently obtained or used.

CLEAN OUT KIT

Clean Out Kits are usually at a cost of $10 per Kit. Once paid, this amount is not refundable. Each label associated with a Kit expires after a period of two (2) months. No refunds will be available for expired labels, if the label was used or not.

RESCUES

Koop has traditionally sold unaccepted items to third-party textile recyclers. Rescues is a service that offers bundled apparel, including previously unsold or unaccepted apparel for sale, which has been determined by Koop to be non-functional, have cosmetic defects or was otherwise not accepted pursuant to our normal clothing processing standards. Unless otherwise stated, Rescues items are final sale, non-refundable, and non-returnable.

REFERRAL

The Koop Referral Program enables clients to receive a $20 credit when they refer someone to the Services. The referred person will also receive a $20 credit. Discounts and referrals may only be used or received on orders greater than $50. 

PURCHASES AND PRICING

In order to make a purchase using the Services, you must have a valid payment method on file with us. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services. If your payment method fails, or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. This includes, without limitation, charging a portion of the owed amount, charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies, and for accounts over 180 days past due, deducting the amount owed from your approved online payment account. To ensure uninterrupted service and to enable you to conveniently make additional purchases, Koop will store and update (e.g. upon expiration) your payment method on file. If you choose to use a third-party payment service offered by Koop, such as PayPal or Affirm, you are subject to their terms of use and privacy policies.

Our inventory availability and listing prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Pricing for items from non-local distribution centers may include a surcharge to cover additional localization and logistics costs. In order to maximize the selection of items available for sale, Koop reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit the amount of time an item may remain in a customer's cart. Unfortunately, at times, pricing or typographical errors may occur. In the event that an item is listed at an incorrect price or contains incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, Koop reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that item.

RETURN AND REFUND POLICY

Except as otherwise stated, you have 14 days after purchasing your order to decide if you want to keep or return your items. Returned items will be credited back to you for the full amount of the purchase price through the refund method you choose, either in the form of Koop online shopping credit or in your original form of payment. Items purchased with Koop shopping credit will always be refunded back as shopping credit. 

Please note that we will only offer credit or a refund for items if they are returned to Koop on a timely basis and are in the same condition in which you received them. If you do not meet these requirements, your returned item will be forfeited.

Final sale items are non-returnable. If a client wishes to cancel an order, it can be done within one hour of the purchase. After this delay, the order cannot be cancelled, nor refunded. If a cancel order happens in a client's account, no other order cancellation can be done within this same account for a delay of 36 hours. 

From time to time, the company may proceed with "Green Returns" when the cost of the return is higher than the transportation costs associated with such returns. If you do wish to allow "Green Returns" for your items, please do not purchase a Clean Out Kit.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

While we attempt to be as accurate as possible, Koop does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of any Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and styles of our products. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any color or style will be accurate. If a product offered by Koop is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

COMPARISON PRICING

ESTIMATED RETAIL PRICING FOR SECONDHAND ITEMS

The strikethrough price shown next to any listed item represents the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction, and material offered elsewhere in new condition. While we acknowledge that pricing is not an exact science, we strive to provide fair and accurate pricing information. Our reference prices are set by a seasoned team of merchants, who monitor market prices for the brands and styles that we sell. If the comparison price is an important factor in your purchasing decision, we recommend that you do your own comparison shopping as well.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS, DUTIES, AND TAXES

You are responsible for ensuring that our products can be lawfully imported to your destination country. International orders (shipped to countries outside of Canada) may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country. These fees are levied once a shipment reaches your country and are the responsibility of the customer. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs fees and policies are different from country to country and can change regularly. You should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required by your country, they can cause delays beyond our delivery estimates.

Shipping times for international orders can vary, but we recommend that you allow at least two to three weeks for an order from the time it leaves Canada for you to receive it. There may be some cases in which packages are delivered outside of the listed estimated timeframe. Please note that international orders that are canceled after the order is shipped will not be refunded.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event you wish to initiate an action, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution.

If your issue is not resolved accordingly, then you agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: in the event of any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction conducted through the Services, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of them (“Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first-class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. 

    You agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

    ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

    To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, A DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Arbitration is a process established by law that allows parties to a transaction to agree to resolve their Disputes through an independent arbitrator, rather than through a judge and jury. In an arbitration, only the arbitrator hears the evidence presented by both sides and makes a decision that is final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator may award damages and provide other relief as provided by law. By agreeing to arbitrate any Disputes with us, you agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute, You and Koop expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

    Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advance written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle any Dispute amicably through mutual discussions any Dispute. Failing such amicable settlement and after expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. 

    All aspects of any arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTIONS AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS

    All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis, not on a class-action or other consolidated basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not be joined with, or otherwise affect, any other Dispute. You and Koop agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and Koop hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.
