Terms of Sale Agreement

Second Rotation, Inc. dba Gazelle ("Gazelle") offers services (the "Gazelle Services") through which you can sell, donate or recycle certain consumer electronic products ( the "Products") after receiving a "quote" from Gazelle. You must agree to abide by the following terms in order to use the Gazelle Services.

BY SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT, OR BY USING GAZELLE'S WEB SITES, YOU SIGNIFY THAT YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

  1. About These Terms. These terms govern any offer that you make to sell, donate or recycle your Product to or through Gazelle. These terms, the terms that govern your use of Gazelle’s web sites ("Gazelle Websites"), the Gazelle Services and any and all applications included therein, which terms are located at http://www.gazelle.com/legal, the terms of Gazelle’s privacy disclosures located at http://www.gazelle.com/privacy_policy and any supplemental terms or policies that accompany a specific transaction, feature or application collectively make up an agreement between you and Gazelle (the "Agreement"). You acknowledge that this Agreement is in electronic form and has the same force and effect as an agreement in writing.
    In this Agreement, the term "you" or "your" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this Agreement, and the term "Gazelle," "we" or "us" means Gazelle and its affiliates and subsidiaries.
  2. Requirements. In order to complete the sale, donation or recycling of your Product to or through Gazelle or to complete any other transaction with Gazelle, you must:
    Create an account with us;
    Provide true, up to date and accurate account information about yourself and any Product you offer to us;
    Comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement;
    Comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including all import and export laws as described in Section 14 below;
    Transact on behalf of yourself and not on behalf of others; and
    Have the legal capacity to enter into agreements and to convey title and interest in any Product that you submit to us.
    In order to receive payments for any Products we purchase from you, you must provide us with information including a valid email address at which you are able to receive email, a valid postal address at which you are able to receive mail, and your first and last name. You understand and agree that if you fail to provide us with accurate and up to date information about yourself: (a) we will not be responsible for any misapplied payments or payments sent to a wrong address, and (b) any unclaimed funds may be subject to collection by governmental authorities under applicable unclaimed funds and escheat laws. You agree that we have no obligation to you if any of your unclaimed funds are turned over to governmental authorities.
  3. Product Eligibility. While Gazelle strives to provide a quote on each Product you may wish to sell, donate or recycle, Gazelle determines, in its sole discretion, which Products are eligible for purchase, donation and/or recycling by or through the Gazelle Services and for which eligible Products Gazelle will provide a quote. Gazelle may terminate the eligibility of certain Products at any time and without advanced notice, but such termination will not affect any Products for which you have already accepted a quote.
  4. Condition Defined. Gazelle uses four (4) Product conditions to grade Products, ranging from "Perfect" to "Poor." Conditions can widely vary between categories and types of Products. Broadly, Gazelle's Product definitions are as follows:
    Perfect: the item is a new and unused Product, in perfect condition with no scratches, scuffs, or signs of use.
    Good: the item has evidence of normal use, such as light scratches or scuffs, but is otherwise 100% functional.
    Fair: item functions perfectly but has major scratches and/or dents.
    Poor: the item has physical or functional issues such as cracked body, damaged display, missing or broken parts, dents, deep scratches, personalization(s), etc.
    The above definitions are broad guidelines. More specific condition definitions specific to the category and/or type of Product are included on the Gazelle Website offer screen and serve as the effective condition definition for that product. Condition definitions are subject to change at Gazelle's discretion. If you are uncertain about your Product’s condition, please seek guidance by contacting Gazelle’s customer care.
  5. Product Valuation; Product Recycling. All quotes will be based on Gazelle's own determination of the Product value in reliance on the accuracy of the information you supply us. Gazelle will use its discretion to determine the Product value, weighing factors that may include the Product's model, functionality and condition. Upon receiving a quote, you have the option of accepting or rejecting that quote. Acceptance indicates you are willing to provide your Product to Gazelle at the quoted price. If Gazelle determines that the Product has nominal value, Gazelle may provide you a quote of $0. If you decide to continue and accept Gazelle’s quote of $0, you will send to Gazelle and Gazelle will accept the Product for recycling. If you do not accept Gazelle’s quote, the specific transaction expires. If after rejecting the quote you change your mind and want to accept the quote, you will need to open another transaction with us at which point the quote may be different.
  6. Fitness for Sale. You must own the right, title, and interest in any and all Products you seek to sell, donate or recycle to Gazelle. The Products and the sale and shipment of such items to Gazelle: (a) must comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, including without limitation all import and export laws as described in Section 14 below, (b) may not infringe on third party intellectual property rights (including copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights), and ( c) shall not be counterfeit, stolen, or fraudulent. You represent and warrant that the Products are free of any liens or encumbrances, including third-party software which may not be transferred or for which royalties are due. By using the Gazelle Services, you agree to indemnify Gazelle from all claims or losses sustained by Gazelle as a result of any breach of this warranty.
  7. Sending Gazelle Your Product. When packaging your Product, be sure to include all materials included in your description when we calculated your quote, as well as any other materials that came with your Product (e.g., operating systems disks).. This may include software, accessories, adapters, and manuals. Failure to include any items you told us about when the quote was calculated, or sending us a Product which does not match your original description, may impact the final value of your Product and may result in a recalculated quote.
  8. Removing Data From Your Product. For Products involving devices that store files and/or personal data on hard drives, memory chips or the like, you must back up and store any data you wish to keep from your Product and remove any personal information before you send your Product to us. Gazelle’s standard practice is to remove all such data from your Product, however, Gazelle makes no guarantee that it will do so. By sending Gazelle your Product, you agree to release us from any claim as to the Product, the data stored in such Product, or any information on any media used in conjunction with the Product and which you send to Gazelle, or for such data's security, integrity, confidentiality, disclosure or use. Gazelle is not responsible for: (a) any loss suffered by you due to any data that is not erased from the device and transferred to a third party, or (b) any loss of data after you submitted your Product to us.
  9. Product Inspection; Quote Recalculation. Your Product must be received by Gazelle within thirty (30) days after you accept the original quote by Gazelle (the "Delivery Period"). Packing and shipping recommendations provided to you by Gazelle should be followed in order to avoid possible damage to or loss of the Product in transit. All Products that are received will be inspected by Gazelle. Gazelle has the option to accept or reject the Product, including without limitation, to reject any Product not conforming to the description you provided to us, any Product modified in such a way that it no longer conforms to the original factory specifications, any Product no longer complying with applicable laws or regulations (e.g., FCC rules, etc.) and/or anyProduct damaged or lost in transit. Gazelle reserves the right to recalculate the original quote for the Product if: (a) the Product and/or materials are not as described, and/or (b) the Product is received by Gazelle after the Delivery Period. In the event Gazelle recalculates the quote, you shall have the option of accepting or rejecting the new quote. If you accept the new quote, you will be paid in normal course and in accordance with these service terms. If you reject the new quote, Gazelle will return the Product to you at the address from which it was originally sent. Gazelle will give you a period of five (5) days after Gazelle presents you with a recalculated quote to accept or reject the new quote (the "New Quote Period"). Gazelle will also remind you of the outstanding new quote one or more times during the New Quote Period. However, if the new quote is neither affirmatively accepted nor rejected by you during the New Quote Period, the new quote will be deemed to have been accepted by you and you will be paid the new quote in normal course and in accordance with these service terms. For avoidance of doubt, your acceptance of the original quote and/or any new quote is final and you may not change your mind later about accepting such quotes.
  10. Releasing Rights to Product. Once you send Gazelle your Product, Gazelle cannot and does not guarantee that it will be able to honor any request for return of the Product and/or any data or information contained in such Product. Of course, if Gazelle rejects the Product or you do not accept any new quote for the Product pursuant to Section 9 ("Return Circumstances"), your Product will be returned to you as set forth in Section 9.
  11. Risk-Of-Loss. You remain responsible for the risk-of-loss for the Products until delivery of the same to Gazelle. You are responsible for any damages that may occur to your Product while in transit. Gazelle is responsible for risk-of-loss when it opens the packaging containing your Product and ceases in the event Gazelle returns your product ot you for any reason. For avoidance of doubt, in such event, risk of loss will be transferred to you once Gazelle delivers the package to the carrier for return to you and you will bear the risk of loss in transit.
  12. Passing of Title. Title to the applicable Product passes to Gazelle upon Gazelle’s acceptance of the Product for the original quote or the new quote, as applicable. If there is a Return Circumstance, title shall not pass and shall remain with you.
  13. Non-Transferable. Any quote by Gazelle for your Product is non-transferable and not redeemable for any other consideration other than what is quoted by Gazelle.
  14. Import and Export Laws. You agree to comply fully with all import and export laws, regulations, rules and orders of the United States, or any foreign government agency or authority, and that you will not directly or indirectly transfer your Product without proper authorization from the U.S. and/or foreign government. You bear responsibility for and assume all expenses relating to your compliance with the described laws, regulations, rules and orders, and for obtaining all necessary authorizations and clearances in order to convey your Product to Gazelle, including without limitation, valuation, classification and duties applicable with the import of any goods. Please note: U.S. trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) generally prohibit the importation into the United States (including U.S. territories), either directly or indirectly, of most goods, technology, or services (except information and informational materials) from, or which originated from Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Serbia, or Sudan; from foreign persons designated by the Secretary of State as having promoted the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; named Foreign Terrorist Organizations; designated terrorists and narcotics traffickers. You may not offer or provide to Gazelle for recycling, donation or for sale, any Products that would violate the provisions of this Section 14.
  15. Promotions and “Gazelle For Good”. From time to time, and at Gazelle's sole discretion, Gazelle may offer promotional programs as an incentive to customers. Promotions applicable to payments are applied as an increment to the final value of a customer's Product, but they are not considered a change in that final value. Promotional programs have explicitly defined terms, including but not limited to, expiration usage per person and per transaction, and other limitations and restrictions. Unless otherwise stated, promotions must be applied by you before checkout. For the avoidance of doubt, once checkout is completed, promotions cannot be applied to the same transaction. Gazelle reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or refuse promotions.
    With respect to any “Gazelle For Good” gadget drive website, Gazelle reserves the right to suspend and deactivate any such website for any reason and at any time.
  16. Accuracy of all Information. Gazelle makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all information you receive in relation to your Product. From time to time, however, there may be typographical errors, technical inaccuracies, pricing or other errors or omissions. As such, Gazelle reserves the right, at any time prior to payment, to:
    (a) Correct an error.
    (b) Change the quote. In the event the Product has already been sent to Gazelle, the changed quote will become a New Quote subject to the processes set forth in Section 9. Otherwise, the changed quote will be a re-issued original quote, which you may accept or reject.
    (c) Void a transaction. If the Product was already sent to Gazelle, Gazelle will be deemed to have rejected the Product resulting in a Return Circumstance subject to Section 10.
  17. Privacy. We view protection of users' privacy as a very important community principle. When you open an account and use Gazelle’s Web sites and the Gazelle Services, we collect information about you.
