Wanelo Terms of Service
Last modified on November 5, 2020.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wanelo! Wanelo, Inc. ("Wanelo", "we", "our", or "us") is a way to search for and follow all your favorite stores in one place. Because Wanelo is a marketplace that brings together an incredible range of different merchants and stores, any sales that occur (and any sales contracts) are directly between the sellers and buyers. This Terms of Service (the "Agreement") refers to all of Wanelo's sites, applications, tools and services collectively as our "Services." This Agreement and all policies and additional terms on and in our Services set out the terms on which Wanelo offers you access to and use of our Services. All policies and additional terms posted on and in our sites, applications, tools, and services are incorporated into this Agreement. By using our Services, you agree to comply with all terms of this Agreement.
This Agreement contains terms that govern how we resolve claims you and we might have against each other (see "Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability" and "Legal Disputes" provisions below). It also contains an Agreement to Arbitrate which will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against us or our agents to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate (see Legal Disputes, Section B ("Agreement to Arbitrate")). If you do not opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate (1) you will be permitted to pursue claims against us or our agents only on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding and (2) you will be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only on an individual basis.
We may make changes to this Agreement or our Services at any time, and we will post the amended terms with 30 days' notice at https://wanelo.co.
You agree to review this page, https://wanelo.co/about/terms, each time you visit our Site to identify if the Agreement has changed since the last time you visited the Site (as you can determine from the "Last modified on" date listed above). By proceeding to use the Services after we update the Agreement you thereby agree to any amendments to the Agreement. We may also ask you to acknowledge your acceptance of this Agreement through an electronic click-through. No other amendments to this Agreement shall be valid except through mutual written agreement by you and a duly authorized Wanelo representative.
This Agreement governs all transactions through Wanelo's Services. Terms and conditions of the other businesses with which you interact through the Wanelo checkout system may also govern those interactions, binding you and the relevant businesses but not Wanelo. Wanelo will inform purchasers when an order is placed with a third-party business, however, each third-party business shall have discretion to accept an order and to allow or deny changes to an order. The terms and conditions of the third-party business may be listed on that third-party's seller page, or else obtained by contacting that business. In the event of any conflict between the third-party business' terms and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
We may provide guidance as part of our Services, such as pricing, shipping, listing, and sourcing, but that guidance is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. Although we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Wanelo has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

Sellers must agree also to comply with Wanelo's Merchant Terms of Service. Failure to meet these terms may result in Wanelo charging you additional fees, and/or limiting, restricting, suspending, terminating, or downgrading your seller account.
We may, in our sole discretion, limit, suspend, or terminate your user account(s) and access to our Services, delay or remove hosted content, remove any special status associated with your account(s), remove, not display, and/or demote listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from using our Services.
Wanelo may from time to time offer credits to existing users who refer new users to the Service using the invitation codes that Wanelo provides them. Wanelo may also make credits available to new users using those invitation codes. Wanelo may determine the credits, their conditions or requirements, and their amount or duration in its sole discretion and may modify or terminate the credits or the program at any time, even without notice to you. Furthermore, Wanelo reserves the right to limit the number and/or amount of credits that may be earned with respect to any existing user with or without notice to you. To be eligible for a credit (whether granted to an existing user or new user), the new user must be an individual that has never registered for the Service and must be using a mobile device via the Wanelo App (not the web) for sign-up and the mobile device being used must not be associated with an existing Wanelo account.

If your account has been suspended or terminated, your credits from the Friend Referral Program will be voided.

Please reference section 3 of our Wanelo's Merchant Terms of Service.
6. Listing and Selling Conditions
By listing an item for sale on Wanelo Services, you agree to comply with Wanelo's Merchant Terms of Service. You further agree that:
- You are responsible for the accuracy and content of your listing and the item offered;
- Your listing may not be immediately searchable, or may not be searchable at all in some instances;
- Wanelo can't guarantee exact listing durations;
- Content that violates any of Wanelo's policies may be modified, obfuscated or deleted at Wanelo's discretion;
- We may revise or omit product data associated with listings to supplement, remove, or correct information;
- In order to ensure buyers find what they are looking for, the appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results may depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: the buyer's location, search query, browsing site, and history; the item's location, listing format, price and shipping cost, terms of service, end time, history, and relevance to the user query; the seller's history, including listing practices, Wanelo policy compliance, feedback, and defect rate; and the number of listings matching the buyer's query;
- To ensure a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer;
- Duplicate listings may also be omitted from search results; and
- Metatags and URL links that are included in a listing may be removed or altered in order to not affect third-party search engine results.
You agree that, by getting Wanelo's Services for free, you grant Wanelo the right to work with you to promote your business and/or products on Wanelo's platform. This right covers all promotional activities of any kind involving the Services.
7. Purchasing Conditions
By buying an item on Wanelo Services, you agree that:
- You are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a purchase;
- You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item;
- Wanelo does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer; and
- Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2) applies to the transfer of ownership between the buyer and the seller, unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise.
Under the Wanelo Guarantee, if you do not receive the item you ordered, Wanelo will cover the full cost of your order, including shipping. Your order is protected if you notify us within 3 days of your delivery of any misrepresentation or damage to your order. More information and terms for the Wanelo Guarantee is here.
Wanelo will provide you with a confirmation email that your order is received and is being processed. Once your order has been processed with the third-party business, Wanelo will provide you a confirmation email that your order has been processed and accepted by the third-party business. Wanelo may or may not provide you with an estimate of when your order will be shipped and/or delivered. Shipping and delivery are 100% within the discretion and control of each of the third-party businesses. Any estimates Wanelo may provide you with respect to shipping and/or delivery are simply estimates, and you should not rely on the estimates. Please read the confirmation emails you receive from Wanelo for additional information on how to contact the third-party business for additional information on the status of your order, shipping and delivery. These emails also contain instructions on the best ways to contact Wanelo to help with any questions about your order.
Each third-party business on Wanelo has its own return and refund policy. The terms and conditions of each third-party business governs each order you make from that business, including but not limited to, if returns or refunds are accepted and under what conditions; whether you are responsible for additional shipping costs associated with any returns; and whether you will be entitled to a full refund, partial refund, credit, or anything at all. You acknowledge and accept that Wanelo has no involvement or control over whether you will be permitted to return any order or portion thereof, or whether you will be permitted any refund or credit for any order or portion thereof. You agree to look only to the third-party business from which you ordered for conditions on returns. You can obtain the return policy for a third-party business by clicking on the business's "store" and then clicking on its "return policy," or by contacting the business directly. The terms and conditions of each third-party business govern whether you can cancel an order once payment is made, although for customer service reasons Wanelo may also determine at its discretion whether you can cancel an order once payment is made.
Wanelo uses a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to allow you to pay for products you purchase through the Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. Wanelo is not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor. By choosing to purchase goods through the Services, you agree to pay through the Payment Processor all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms. You authorize Wanelo, through the applicable Payment Processor, to charge your payment provider. Please be aware that items you are charged may include shipping fees and state and local sales tax. For each purchase, you grant Wanelo the right to revise charges and correct any errors or mistakes that are made regarding the purchase price of your order, even where Wanelo has already received payment from you. For example, in some instances, Wanelo will charge you estimated State and local sales tax, and it may adjust the sales tax charge as appropriate. You agree that (i) each order through the Services are purchases between you and the third-party business, and not with Wanelo; (ii) Wanelo is not a party to your payment transaction for such purchases; and (iii) Wanelo is not a buyer or a seller in any transactions.

When you provide information or content using the Services (directly or indirectly), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all Intellectual Property Rights (as defined above) you have in that information or content in connection with our provision, expansion, and promotion of the Services, in any media known now or developed in the future. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your right to enforce your Intellectual Property Rights in that information or content against Wanelo, our assignees, our sublicensees, and their assignees in connection with our, those assignees', and those sublicensees' use of that information or content in connection with our provision, expansion, and promotion of the Services.

Wanelo takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any information or content provided by you or any third party.
We may offer product data (including images, descriptions and specifications) that are provided by third parties (including Wanelo users). You may use that data solely in your Wanelo listings. Wanelo may modify or revoke that permission at any time in our sole discretion. The product data may include copyrighted, trademarked and other proprietary materials. You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary, or identification markings in the product data and not to create any derivative works based on that data, other than by including the data in your listings.
We try to offer reliable product data, but cannot promise that the information and content provided through the Services will always be available, accurate, complete, and up-to-date. You agree that Wanelo is not responsible for examining or warranting the listings or content provided by third parties through the Services, and that you will not attempt to hold us or our data providers liable for inaccuracies. As a seller, you agree to ensure that information and content directly associated with your listings is accurate.

ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS, WE EXCLUDE ALL IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTIES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
In addition, to the extent applicable law permits, you agree that we (including any subsidiaries and affiliates, and our and their officers, directors, agents and employees) are not liable, and you agree not to hold us responsible, for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money, goodwill or reputation, profits, other intangible losses, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages) resulting directly or indirectly from:

By entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542, WHICH SAYS:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
14. Indemnity
You agree that you will indemnify and hold us (including our affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as our and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents) harmless from any claim or demand, liability, judgment, damages, costs, or cause of action, by any third party arising out of your breach of this Agreement, your improper use of Wanelo's Services, or your breach of any law or the rights of a third party.
15. Legal Disputes
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND WANELO HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
You and Wanelo agree to resolve, in accordance with the provisions in this section, all claims and disputes at law or equity that have arisen, or may arise, between you and Wanelo (including any claim or dispute between you and a third-party agent of Wanelo) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Wanelo or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services.
A. Applicable Law
You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Wanelo, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
B. Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Wanelo each agree to resolve all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and Wanelo (including any disputes or claims between you and a third-party agent of Wanelo) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of this Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Wanelo or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through the Services exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. In the alternative, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
1. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND WANELO AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WANELO 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, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY 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 CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and Wanelo's right to appeal the court's decision. All other claims must be arbitrated.
2. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, and it uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitration will be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") under its rules and procedures, including JAMS' consumer arbitration rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The JAMS rules are available at: https://www.jamsadr.com.
The use of the word "arbitrator" in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration. JAMS' rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration under this Agreement to Arbitrate.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed notice of dispute ("Notice"), which must include the following information:
- Your full legal name;
- Your Wanelo User Name;
- Your telephone number;
- Your email address corresponding to your Wanelo account, and any other email address you would like to be contacted at;
- Your mailing address;
- A brief description of the nature of your dispute;
- Any supporting documents concerning your dispute;
- A brief description of the relief you would like from Wanelo; and
- Your signature and the date you prepared the Notice.
The Notice to Wanelo should be sent to Wanelo, Inc., Attn: Legal, Re: Notice of Dispute, 548 Market Street #38767, San Francisco, CA 94104. Wanelo will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file for your Wanelo account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date.
If you and Wanelo are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or Wanelo may initiate arbitration proceedings according to the JAMS rules at: https://www.jamsadr.com.
The arbitration hearing shall be in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location within the United States. If the relief sought is worth $10,000 or less, you or Wanelo may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Wanelo subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing occurs, you and/or Wanelo may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
The arbitrator shall decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and shall honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but shall be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Wanelo user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding. The prevailing party may enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
3. Costs of Arbitration
JAMS' rules will govern payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the relief sought is worth $10,000 or less, at your request, Wanelo will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Wanelo should be submitted by mail to JAMS along with your initial demand for arbitration, with a copy to Wanelo, Inc., Attn: Legal, Re: Arbitration Fee Request, 548 Market Street #38767, San Francisco, CA 94104, and Wanelo will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. If (a) you willfully fail to comply with the Notice requirement discussed above, or (b) the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you must reimburse Wanelo for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Wanelo that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under JAMS' rules.
4. Severability
With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply.
5. Opt-Out Procedure

Your participation in the Bug Bounty Program is voluntary. By informing Wanelo about a vulnerability, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and agreed that your participation is subject at all times to this Agreement, and specifically the terms and conditions set forth on this section of the Agreement ("Program Terms"). Any submission you make to Wanelo, whether by the Bug Bounty Program or otherwise, will be considered a "Submission".
The Bug Bounty Program, including without limitation the Program Terms, is subject to change or cancellation by Wanelo at any time, with or without notice. Wanelo may amend these Program Terms and/or the Bug Bounty Program at any time by posting a revised version on its website. By continuing to participate in the Bug Bounty Program after any changes, you accept the Bug Bounty Program and Program Terms as modified.

If (i) you fall under any of the descriptions above; (ii) you breach any of these Program Terms or any other agreements you have with Wanelo or its affiliates; or (iii) Wanelo determines that your participation in the Bug Bounty Program could adversely impact Wanelo, its affiliates or any of their users, employees or agents, Wanelo, in its sole discretion, may remove you from the Bug Bounty Program and/or disqualify you from receiving any benefit of the Bug Bounty Program.
You hereby grant to Wanelo and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferrable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, publish, distribute, publicly perform, create derivative works from, make, use, sell, offer for sale and import your Submissions, and any materials you submit, for any purpose. You should not send us any Submission that you do not wish to license to us.
You hereby represent and warrant that all Submissions are original to you and you own all right, title and interest in them. Also, you hereby waive all other claims of any nature arising out of any disclosure of Submissions to Wanelo. In no event shall Wanelo be precluded from discussing, reviewing, developing for itself, having developed, or developing for third parties, materials that are competitive with those in your Submissions irrespective of their similarity to the information in the Submission.
You may be eligible to receive a monetary reward if: (i) you are the first person to submit information about a particular vulnerability relating to Wanelo or its Services; (ii) that vulnerability is verifiable, replicable, and determined to be a valid security issue by Wanelo in its sole discretion; and (iii) you are in compliance with the Program Terms.
Wanelo will determine bounty payouts, if any, in its sole discretion. Wanelo is not obligated to provide a payout for any Submission. The format, currency and timing of all bounty payouts shall be determined by Wanelo in its sole discretion. For example, Wanelo may give you one (1) payout in-full or a partial payout when the vulnerability is first verified followed by an additional payout once the vulnerability has been fixed. You are solely responsible for any tax implications related to any bounty payouts you may receive.
You agree to hold in strictest confidence, and neither to disclose nor to use, any information you receive or collect about Wanelo, its affiliates or any of their users, employees or agents in connection with the Bug Bounty Program ("Confidential Information").
