CONDITIONS OF SALE 6. Relationship of the Parties. (a) The Seller is responsible for accurately describing and pricing the Items it is offering for sale and for delivering the Items to the Buyer in accordance with the arrangements made between Buyer and Seller, including transfer of title and payment of sales tax or VAT or import/export duty to the appropriate authority. (b) The Buyer is solely responsible for determining the value, condition and authenticity of the Items being purchased, to pay the purchase price to the Seller including any sales tax, VAT or import/export duties, and to arrange for shipping of the Items purchased. (c) The role of 1stdibs is expressly limited as set forth in Clause 3 above. 1stdibs relies on the Sellers for such information and is not responsible in any way for the description or pricing of Items on the Site provided by the Seller. 1stdibs is not responsible for the delivery or transfer of legal ownership of Items from a Seller to you. We are not responsible for the delivery of payment from you to the Seller unless we explicitly agree to be. 7. Items Available on the Site. (a) All Items displayed on the Site are offered for sale subject to availability. Some Items displayed on the Site are unique and are offered by Sellers that usually have retail opportunities for the sale of the Item independent from 1stdibs, and therefore some Items may no longer be available. (b) The Site is designed to provide the Buyer access to Items as the Sellers present them. The Buyer is aware that unless stated otherwise, Items are neither new nor in ‘perfect’ condition. An Item may require touch-up or repairs prior to use and that the available information about these Items may be limited. Accordingly, 1stdibs does not verify any information provided by the Seller (or its representative selling an Item) and 1stdibs makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Seller, the Item or the information related to the Item. 8. The Sale Process; Auctions. (a) When a Buyer identifies an Item for purchase, the Buyer may make an offer to purchase the Item (“Offer”) directly through the Site’s checkout page, or by contacting 1stdibs through any method listed on the Site (including by telephone). When making an Offer, the Buyer shall submit valid payment information to 1stdibs for payment of the Total Purchase Price. The “Total Purchase Price” is defined as the price agreed to on the Site between Buyer and Seller and includes: (i) the final, agreed upon price of the Item (the “Purchase Price”); (ii) any applicable shipping fees; and (iii) any sales tax, use tax, VAT, Internet sales tax and/or any other taxes or levies that the Seller is required to collect from the Buyer under applicable law at the time of sale. By making an Offer, the Buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price and, unless a counter-offer is made, the Seller agrees to sell the Item for the Total Purchase Price to the Buyer. (b) If a Seller has indicated that the price of an Item is negotiable, then the Buyer may make an Offer through the Site to the Seller to purchase the Item at an alternative price selected by the Buyer or may inquire by using the telephone number displayed on the Site. Such calls will be operated and recorded by 1stdibs to log transactions, and for training and quality assurance purposes. (c) An Offer may not be canceled or revoked by a Buyer unless the Offer was made prior to the Total Purchase Price being fully confirmed by the Buyer and Seller e.g. because the shipping fees were not fully known at the time of placing the Offer (subject to any statutory rights that a Buyer may have). The Seller, at its sole discretion, may: (i) accept the Offer; (ii) decline the Offer; or (iii) make a counter-offer to the Buyer (“Counter-Offer”). By making a Counter-Offer, the Seller agrees to sell the Item to the Buyer at the Counter-Offer price and represents that the Item is available for immediate sale as long as the Buyer agrees to the Counter-Offer, and subject to any additional conditions contained in the Counter-Offer. Either the Buyer, the Seller, or 1stdibs may place a time limit on the effectiveness of the Offer and each party acknowledges that the Offer will lapse at the end of the offer period. If the Buyer agrees to pay the Counter-Offer price, then the Buyer shall acknowledge that acceptance by either confirming the purchase on the “offer status section” page of the Buyer’s 1stdibs account, or by confirming acceptance over the telephone. (d) The sale takes place between the Buyer and the Seller, and a confirmation of sale (“Order Confirmation”) is posted to the “offer status section” page of the Buyer’s 1stdibs account, once: (i) the Seller has accepted and confirmed the Buyer’s Offer; or (ii) the Buyer has acknowledged, accepted and confirmed the Seller’s Counter-Offer. At this point, a binding contract between the Seller and the Buyer with respect to the sale and purchase of the Item is created and enforceable. (e) In certain circumstances, a Buyer will be required to post a “reserve” amount to support an Offer (“Reserve Amount”). This Reserve Amount shall be authorized to 1stdibs by credit card at the time the Offer is made, and shall be credited against the Total Purchase Price due. In the event the Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the Total Purchase Price, or other material terms of the transaction, then 1stdibs will credit the Reserve Amount back to Buyer’s credit card account. (f) For custom made orders, a Buyer will be required to post a non-refundable “deposit” amount (“Deposit”). The Deposit shall be paid by credit card or other acceptable payment method upon confirmation of sale. The Deposit will be held by the Seller and shall be credited against the Total Purchase Price. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of an error by Seller as to availability of the Item, or an error by the Seller or 1stdibs as to acceptance of an Offer or Counter-Offer as the case may be, or any other error on Seller’s or 1stdibs’ part with respect to a Order Confirmation or the operation of the Site, the Seller and/or 1stdibs reserve the right in their sole and absolute discretion to rescind that Order Confirmation and purchase of the Item without penalty to any party. (h) Due to the nature of the internet, occasional glitches, service interruptions or mistakes may cause unintended inaccuracies to appear on the Site. 1stdibs has the right to correct any inaccuracies or mistakes, and to void any purchase of an Item that displays an inaccurate price or description once brought to our attention. (i) The Auction platform is a feature on the 1stdibs marketplace that allows Sellers to post an Item and designate it for sale by auction (“Auction Item”), which allows multiple parties to bid against each other to purchase the Auction Item. The sale of Auction Items is governed by the 1stdibs Auction Terms in addition to these Terms. To the extent that the Auction Terms conflict with these Terms, the Auction Terms will control with respect to Auctions. 9. Offers to Purchase Outside of the Site. (a) Sellers and Buyers are prohibited from using 1stdibs or the Site to contact each other to make offers to buy or sell and Item outside of the methods provided for by the Site. Sellers and Buyers are also prohibited from using information obtained from the Site to contact each other about buying or selling any Item available for sale on the Site outside of the methods provided for by the Site. (b) If a Buyer attempts to breach these guidelines, 1stdibs may limit, restrict, or suspend the Buyer from using any feature of Site. The Buyer may also forfeit any special account status and/or discount rate. The Buyer may also be subject to the application of fees and recovery of 1stdibs expenses in policy monitoring and enforcement. 10. Payment for Purchased Items. (a) Immediately upon receipt of the Order Confirmation, the Buyer shall remit an amount equal to the full amount (100%) of the Total Purchase Price. In the event Buyer has previously posted a Reserve Amount with 1stdibs for the Item, then the Reserve Amount shall be credited against the Total Purchase Price and Buyer shall remit the remaining balance of the Total Purchase Price. (b) The Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes 1stdibs upon Order Confirmation to charge the Buyer’s credit card or other payment methods for an amount equal to the Total Purchase Price. 11. Taxes and Duties. The Buyer is entirely responsible for paying all applicable sales and use taxes, VAT, export and/or import taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies related to each Item purchased (collectively, “Taxes”). The Buyer shall pay the Seller such Taxes as the Seller is required to collect, but failure of the Seller to collect the Taxes will not relieve the Buyer’s obligation. The Buyer must determine, pay, collect, remit and report to the appropriate taxing authority the correct amount of all export and/or import taxes or duties payable upon export of the Item from its country of origin and import into the United States or any other country. In the event that an exemption applies, it is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes. 12. Shipping. (a) Buyer-arranged shipping. The Buyer is in every instance free to arrange the Buyer’s own shipping and may elect to use any shipping company of its choice. The crating/shipping/insurance companies designated by the Buyer are the Buyer’s agents and the Buyer will bear all applicable costs and pay such costs directly to the agents. The Buyer may also ask 1stdibs to arrange for shipping of any Item on the Buyer’s behalf which may be subject to pre-advertised shipping prices. (b) Seller-arranged shipping. The Buyer may elect to have the Seller arrange for crating, packaging, shipping and freight insurance. Following the Buyer’s request, the Seller shall provide shipping information including the name of the freight carrier, the complete cost of shipment from the Seller to the Buyer’s designated receiving address, the cost of any duty or other charges to be paid by the Buyer, the cost of freight insurance and the name of such insurance provider, as well as any costs or fees to be charged by the for crating or packaging the Items for shipment. The Buyer and the Seller shall mutually agree on shipment terms and the Buyer shall prepay all shipment costs. (c) On occasion, certain Items may be eligible for free shipping as indicated in the Item description. Any offer of free shipping may be limited, and subject to certain exceptions as will be noted at the time of such free shipping offer. In cases where free shipping is available, the remaining terms of this User Agreement and Conditions of Sale remain applicable. 1stdibs reserves the right to cancel or modify any offer for free shipping at any time without notice. (d) 1stdibs reserves the right to correct or cancel any transaction if an error is made in calculating shipping. 13. Import/Export Restrictions. (a) Some Items offered for sale on the Site may require cultural, customs and regulated species permits for export from the country where they are located and/or import into the Buyer’s country. Items may also be subject to a right of the country from which they are exported to purchase the Items from the Buyer. Neither the Seller nor 1stdibs makes any representation, gives any warranty or shall have any liability to the Buyer in respect of the requirement for, or the availability, or issuance of valid export or import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere. (b) If the listing of any Item on the Site states that the Item requires a special permit, or if such requirement is disclosed after the Order Confirmation but before the shipper picks up the Item, or if the Buyer first learns that an export permit is required after the Item has been picked up by the shipper, and the Seller is unable to obtain the export permit within thirty (30) days after the later of confirmation of the sale or disclosure of the requirement for the export permit, then the Buyer may rescind the sale of such Item by giving written notice to 1stdibs and the Seller within seven (7) business days after expiration of the applicable thirty (30) day period. In no event shall the Buyer be entitled to rescind a sale more than ninety (90) days after the date of the sale. (c) If the sale is rescinded, the Buyer shall return the Item to the Seller at the Buyer’s cost unless otherwise agreed. Upon such return, 1stdibs and/or the Seller shall return to the Buyer the Total Purchase Price. This limited right of rescission is not assignable and belongs solely to the Buyer of record. 14. Transfer of Title/Risk of Loss. (a) The Seller of each Item offered for sale on the Site represents and warrants that the Seller: (i) is the sole owner of such Item, or is duly authorized by the owner to sell the Item; and (ii) will convey good and marketable title of such Item to the Buyer following payment of the Total Purchase Price for the Item free and clear of any ownership claims by third parties. (b) In the event the Seller has requested that 1stdibs collect and remit payment of the Total Purchase Price, then the Seller will convey good and marketable title to the Item upon receipt of the Order Confirmation by the Buyer and receipt by 1stdibs of the Total Purchase Price. (c) In the case of Buyer-arranged shipping, risk of loss and title for such Item passes to the Buyer upon the Seller’s delivery of the Item to the carrier selected by the Buyer for shipment or when the Buyer picks up the Item from the Seller. (d) In the case of Seller-arranged shipping, risk of loss and title for such Item passes to the Buyer upon the Buyer’s receipt of the Item. 15. Sales are “As-Is”. (a) All Items displayed on the Site are sold “As-Is”, “With All Faults”. Neither the Seller nor 1stdibs makes any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any Buyer with respect to any Item, including without limitation, its condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance, or as to whether the Buyer acquires any reproduction right or other intellectual property right in any Item. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation. (b) Any agreement between the Buyer and the Seller shall not be governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. (c) The provisions of the Commercial Agents Directive (86/653/EC) as implemented in any European jurisdiction (for example, in the UK via the Commercial Agents Regulations 1993) are expressly excluded from these Terms and our agreement. By using the Site, Buyers and Users select and purchase goods marketed by Sellers, solely of their own initiative, placing orders via the Site. You acknowledge that 1stdibs.com has no control over the ultimate price Items are sold at or any sales terms ultimately entered into between a Buyer and a Seller. 16. Expert Review. If the Buyer is purchasing an Item based in whole or in part on its stated provenance, designer or creator, the Buyer may at its option and at its own cost arrange with the Seller to have Buyer’s selected expert review the Item prior to purchase. Selection of the expert is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Any arrangements for inspection shall be made between the Buyer and Seller. Buyer expressly acknowledges that the Buyer’s use and/or reliance on any expert is at the Buyer’s own risk and cost. 17. 1stdibs Trade Rewards Program.

(a) If for any reason the Buyer cancels payment made by credit card or any other means following receipt of the Order Confirmation, or the Buyer otherwise fails to make any payment with respect to the Total Purchase Price (“Default”), then the Buyer shall remain liable to the Seller for the Total Purchase Price in full, as well as any additional costs related to the sale of the Item, including but not limited to applicable taxes, storage and handling fees and any incurred costs or fees associated with collection of any amount due to 1stdibs and/or the Seller including but not limited to legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations. (b) Without limitation to any other provision of these Terms, in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, 1stdibs reserves the right, at its election, to retain any and all payments paid by Buyer prior to Default with respect to the Item as liquidated damages, and to cancel the sale of the Item without any further obligation to Buyer. 19. Right of Cancellation.

The Seller may make a deduction from the refund for loss in value of the Item returned due to the EU Consumer’s handling of the Items beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Item. No restocking fees will be applied to refunds under this subsection. The right of cancellation does not apply to: (A) the supply of any Item made to the Buyer’s specifications; (B) the supply of any Item which may deteriorate or expire rapidly; (C) the delivery of any Item which is not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by the Buyer after delivery, or which are, after delivery, mixed inseparably (according to their nature) with other items; (D) the delivery of sealed video or audio recordings or of sealed software if unsealed by the Buyer after delivery; and (E) the supply of digital content if the Buyer accepted when it placed the order that delivery could be started and that the Buyer could not cancel once delivery had started, or other statutory exceptions.

(a) You understand and agree that: The Site is provided on an “AS-IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. 1stdibs makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Site, any Item(s) offered for sale or sold on or through the Site, or any Seller, including without limitation: (i) any representation or warranty regarding the character, reputation or business practices of the Seller; (ii) any representation or warranty with respect to title to or delivery of any Item; (iii) any representation or warranty with respect to intellectual property rights in any Item; (iv) any representation or warranty concerning the availability, accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or content of information; (v) any representation or warranty of title, non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose; (vi) any representation or warranty that the Site meets the User’s requirements, will always be accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure or operate without error or that defects will be corrected; or (vii) any representation or warranty that any Item conforms to its description or the colors, texture and detail shown on the User’s computer monitor. (b) Any Buyer must direct all claims regarding any Item to the Seller and must resolve any dispute regarding any Item directly with the Seller. (c) 1stdibs does not endorse, warrant or guarantee any products or services offered or provided by or on behalf of Sellers on or through the Site. 1stdibs is not a party to any transaction between Buyers and Sellers (unless specifically requested and notified to the parties in writing).

Release. You expressly agree to release 1stdibs.com, Inc., its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, suppliers, distributors, vendors, contractors, and representatives (the “Released Parties”), and each of the foregoing, from any and all manner of action, claim or cause of action or suit, at law or in equity, and from any and all losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees, which you may have against the Released Parties, or any of them, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, which arise out of or relate in any way to a dispute. You further waive any applicable rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or other agency relationship exists between you and 1stdibs as a result of these Terms or your use of the Site. 36. Limitation of Liability. (a) In no event shall 1stdibs.com, Inc., its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, suppliers, distributors, vendors, contractors, and representatives be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from, or directly or indirectly related to the use of, or the inability to use, the Site or the content, materials and function related thereto, including, without limitation, loss of revenue, or anticipated profits, or lost business, data or sales, or cost of substitute services, even if 1stdibs or its representative or such individual has been advised of the possibility of such damages. (b) Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In no event shall the total liability of 1stdibs to any User for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including, but not limited to, negligence or otherwise) arising from the Terms or your use of the Site exceed, in the aggregate, $100.00. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall 1stdibs.com, Inc., its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, suppliers, distributors, vendors, contractors, and representatives providing information on this Site have any liability for any damages or losses arising out our or otherwise incurred in connection with the loss of any data or information contained in your account or otherwise stored by or on behalf of 1stdibs. 37. Dispute Resolution. (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or its breach, which cannot be resolved between the parties through reasonable negotiation shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for mandatory binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator chosen in accordance with the AAA Rules. Discovery shall be permitted, but only to the extent that the documents are directly relevant to and needed for fair resolution of one or more of the issues of importance and can be located and produced at a cost that is reasonable in the context of all surrounding facts and circumstances. When the cost and burden of discovery are disproportionate to the likely importance of the requested materials, the arbitrator may deny the requests or require that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other party. (b) The arbitrator may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort, nor award damages inconsistent with these Terms. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to enforce the results of the arbitration or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which the award is based. The result of the arbitration shall bind the parties and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In addition to any and all other relief to which a party may be entitled, the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expert witness fees and costs, to the prevailing party (should there be one) in any such arbitration. (c) Waiver of Jury Trial; Individual Basis; Equitable Relief. The parties surrender and waive the right to submit any dispute to a court or jury, or to appeal to a higher court. The parties agree to arbitration on an individual basis. Where enforceable, neither party shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other Sellers or persons, or arbitrate any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other Site Users or Sellers. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall prohibit either party from seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (without necessity of posting bond) injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo and/or avoid irreparable harm for which monetary damage would be insufficient. (e) The place of arbitration shall be the borough of Manhattan, City of New York, NY, USA, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. These Terms shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws and the arbitrator shall follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Southern District of New York would apply to the dispute. 38. Choice of Law. These Terms, and any dispute arising therefrom, shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law. 39. Notices. Any notices shall be given by postal mail addressed to 1stdibs.com, Inc., 51 Astor Place, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10003, to the attention of Legal Department [if to 1stdibs], or to the e-mail address provided to 1stdibs and currently on record [if to a User].

Notice given by postal mail shall be deemed to have been given three (3) business days after the date of mailing. 40. General Information. If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision(s) will be deemed severable from the rest of the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Terms. Failure of 1stdibs to exercise any rights or remedies will not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies available to 1stdibs under these Terms or at law. These Terms represent the entire agreement between Users and 1stdibs and supersede and replace any other agreement between the parties including but not limited to any previous Terms as they may have applied between Users and 1stdibs. Paragraph headings are for convenience only and not for interpretation of these Terms. 41. Contact Us.
