3. About EstateMeet

EstateMeet operates an online technology marketplace that enables Estate Sale Companies, Individual Sellers, and Buyers to connect for the advertisement, discovery, purchase, reservation, pickup, shipment, and sale of eligible personal property. The Platform is intended to provide software, communication tools, artificial intelligence services, inventory management capabilities, search functionality, and related technologies designed to facilitate Marketplace transactions while improving operational efficiency for both professional and individual sellers.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, EstateMeet acts solely as the provider of the Marketplace technology. EstateMeet is not an auctioneer, licensed appraiser, broker, consignee, merchant of record, warehouse operator, shipping carrier, escrow agent, or fiduciary for any User. EstateMeet generally does not own, possess, inspect, authenticate, value, store, transport, or otherwise exercise control over Items listed through the Marketplace.

The contract governing the purchase or sale of an Item exists solely between the applicable Buyer and Seller. EstateMeet is not a party to such transaction and assumes no responsibility for the performance of either party except to the limited extent expressly set forth in these Terms.

EstateMeet may provide software tools that assist Users in creating Listings, managing inventory, generating barcode labels, producing artificial intelligence-assisted product descriptions, suggesting pricing information, organizing inventory, scheduling pickups, communicating with Buyers, processing payments through third-party providers, and performing other Marketplace functions. Such services are intended to facilitate Marketplace operations and shall not be construed as professional appraisal, valuation, legal, accounting, tax, or investment services.

4. Eligibility

The Platform is intended solely for individuals who have attained the age of eighteen (18) years and possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using the Platform, each User represents and warrants that the User satisfies these eligibility requirements and has not previously been suspended or prohibited from using the Platform.

Business entities accessing the Platform represent and warrant that they are duly organized, validly existing, and authorized to conduct business within the jurisdictions in which they operate and that the individual accepting these Terms possesses full authority to bind the applicable entity.

EstateMeet reserves the right to deny access to the Platform, refuse registration, suspend Marketplace privileges, or terminate Accounts where it reasonably determines that a User fails to satisfy the eligibility requirements established by these Terms or applicable law.

5. User Accounts

Certain features of the Platform require the creation of an Account. Each User agrees to provide complete, accurate, current, and truthful information during the registration process and to promptly update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy. EstateMeet may rely upon the information provided by the User and shall not be responsible for losses arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated registration information.

Each User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Account credentials, including passwords, authentication methods, recovery information, and devices used to access the Platform. The User accepts responsibility for all activities occurring through the Account unless the User promptly notifies EstateMeet of unauthorized access and cooperates in securing the Account.

EstateMeet reserves the right to require additional information, suspend duplicate Accounts, merge Accounts reasonably believed to belong to the same User, require identity verification, or refuse registration where EstateMeet reasonably believes that an Account has been created for fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or unlawful purposes.

By creating an Account, the User consents to receive electronic communications relating to Marketplace activity, account administration, transactions, subscriptions, security events, customer support, legal notices, and other operational matters. Marketing communications shall remain subject to the User's communication preferences and applicable law.

PART II

MARKETPLACE PARTICIPATION

6. Identity Verification

EstateMeet is committed to maintaining a trusted and secure Marketplace for Buyers, Sellers, and Estate Sale Companies. To reduce fraud, comply with applicable laws, satisfy the requirements of payment processors and financial institutions, and protect the integrity of the Platform, EstateMeet reserves the right to require identity verification at any time before or after a User registers an Account, creates a Listing, purchases an Item, receives payment, or otherwise utilizes Marketplace services.

Verification requirements may vary depending upon the nature of the User's activities, transaction volume, subscription level, geographic location, risk profile, or other operational considerations determined by EstateMeet. As part of the verification process, EstateMeet may request government-issued identification, proof of residence, business registration documents, tax identification numbers, ownership documentation, payment verification, photographs, biometric verification through authorized service providers, or any other information reasonably necessary to confirm a User's identity or authority to conduct Marketplace transactions.

Estate Sale Companies may additionally be required to provide documentation demonstrating the existence of their business, the authority of the individual acting on behalf of the business, applicable licenses, insurance information, tax registration, or other information reasonably requested by EstateMeet. Verification by EstateMeet does not constitute an endorsement of the User, a certification of the User's qualifications, or a representation that future Marketplace transactions involving the User will be free from fraud or misconduct.

EstateMeet reserves the right to suspend Marketplace privileges, delay payments, remove Listings, restrict Account functionality, or terminate an Account if requested verification information is not provided within a reasonable period or if EstateMeet reasonably determines that submitted information is inaccurate, incomplete, fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.

7. Marketplace Overview

EstateMeet operates a technology-enabled marketplace that facilitates interactions between Buyers, Estate Sale Companies, and Individual Sellers. Through the Platform, Users may advertise estate sales, publish Listings, discover Items, communicate with other Users, reserve merchandise, purchase eligible Items, arrange local pickup or shipping, receive Marketplace notifications, utilize artificial intelligence-assisted listing tools, generate barcode labels, manage inventory, and access additional Marketplace services offered by EstateMeet from time to time.

EstateMeet provides the technological infrastructure through which Marketplace participants may interact but does not ordinarily participate in the underlying commercial transaction. Unless expressly identified otherwise in a separate written agreement, EstateMeet does not acquire ownership of listed Items, negotiate sales, determine pricing, inspect merchandise, authenticate Items, guarantee payment, or supervise fulfillment of Marketplace transactions. The purchase and sale of Items occur solely between the applicable Buyer and Seller, each of whom remains independently responsible for satisfying the obligations associated with the transaction.

To improve the Marketplace experience, EstateMeet utilizes proprietary technologies that organize Listings, recommend Items, personalize search results, detect fraudulent activity, facilitate communication, analyze Marketplace trends, and improve operational efficiency. Users acknowledge that the Marketplace continually evolves and that EstateMeet may modify, expand, suspend, or discontinue Marketplace features at any time consistent with these Terms.

8. Estate Sale Companies

Estate Sale Companies may establish business Accounts for the purpose of advertising estate sales, managing inventory, publishing Listings, communicating with prospective Buyers, accepting reservations, processing transactions, and utilizing other Marketplace services made available to commercial sellers. A business Account may authorize multiple employees or representatives to access the Platform, provided that the Estate Sale Company remains fully responsible for all activities conducted through the Account.

Each Estate Sale Company represents and warrants that it possesses all rights, licenses, approvals, and authority necessary to advertise and sell the Items listed through the Marketplace and that it has obtained all required permissions from property owners, executors, trustees, estate representatives, consignors, governmental authorities, or other persons having an ownership interest in the applicable property. EstateMeet shall have no obligation to verify such authority and shall be entitled to rely upon the representations made by the Estate Sale Company.

EstateMeet is not a party to any agreement between an Estate Sale Company and its clients and assumes no responsibility for disputes relating to commissions, contractual obligations, probate matters, ownership claims, inventory discrepancies, valuation disagreements, tax obligations, employee relationships, or other matters arising from the Estate Sale Company's independent business operations.

Estate Sale Companies are expected to conduct business in a professional, ethical, and lawful manner. EstateMeet reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Marketplace privileges of any Estate Sale Company that repeatedly receives substantiated complaints involving fraud, deceptive practices, failure to honor completed transactions, abusive conduct, manipulation of Marketplace reviews, or other conduct that reasonably threatens the integrity or reputation of the Platform.

9. Individual Sellers

EstateMeet permits individuals to list eligible Items for sale in their personal capacity, provided that the Individual Seller lawfully owns the Item or otherwise possesses full legal authority to transfer ownership of the Item to a Buyer. Individual Sellers may not represent themselves as Estate Sale Companies unless they have established an appropriate business Account and satisfied any applicable business verification requirements.

Each Individual Seller represents and warrants that all Listings accurately describe the applicable Item, including its condition, dimensions, known defects, authenticity, accessories, age where reasonably known, pickup requirements, shipping availability, and any other information that would reasonably influence a Buyer's purchasing decision. Individual Sellers acknowledge that material omissions, misleading descriptions, manipulated photographs, or repeated inaccuracies may result in removal of Listings, suspension of Marketplace privileges, or termination of the User's Account.

EstateMeet reserves the right to establish reasonable limitations on the number of Listings, categories of merchandise, transaction volume, promotional services, or Marketplace features available to Individual Sellers based upon subscription level, verification status, Marketplace history, operational considerations, or other factors reasonably determined by EstateMeet.

10. Buyers

Buyers are solely responsible for reviewing Listings before completing a purchase and for independently evaluating whether an Item satisfies their expectations. Prior to entering into a transaction, Buyers should carefully review the Item description, photographs, measurements, condition disclosures, pricing information, pickup requirements, shipping availability, reservation policies, Seller ratings, and any additional terms established by the Seller. Buyers are encouraged to communicate directly with the Seller whenever clarification is necessary before completing a purchase.

Unless otherwise expressly stated within a Listing or required by applicable law, all Items are offered on an "AS IS" basis, and the Buyer assumes responsibility for inspecting the Item before accepting possession. EstateMeet does not guarantee that Listings accurately describe the Item being offered or that an Item will satisfy the Buyer's expectations.

Buyers are responsible for appearing at the designated pickup location within the timeframe established by the Seller and for providing any labor, equipment, packaging materials, or transportation necessary to safely remove purchased Items. Failure to retrieve an Item within the applicable pickup period may result in cancellation of the transaction, storage charges, forfeiture of deposits, or resale of the Item in accordance with the Seller's disclosed policies and applicable law.

Buyers are expected to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully throughout all Marketplace interactions. Harassment, discriminatory conduct, abusive communications, fraudulent activity, threats, intimidation, or any conduct that compromises the safety or integrity of the Marketplace may result in immediate suspension or termination of Marketplace privileges.

11. EstateMeet's Limited Role

EstateMeet provides software and related technology that enables Buyers and Sellers to discover one another and conduct Marketplace transactions. Except where expressly identified as the seller of record or where EstateMeet separately agrees in writing to provide additional services, EstateMeet does not own, possess, inspect, warehouse, transport, authenticate, appraise, insure, finance, or otherwise control the Items listed through the Marketplace.

Accordingly, EstateMeet makes no representation or warranty regarding the quality, authenticity, ownership, legality, safety, condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, or market value of any Item listed through the Platform. EstateMeet likewise does not guarantee that Buyers will complete purchases, that Sellers will fulfill accepted orders, that payments will be successfully processed, or that Marketplace transactions will proceed without dispute.

Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, fiduciary relationship, franchise, employment relationship, or other legal association between EstateMeet and any User. Buyers and Sellers participate in Marketplace transactions solely as independent parties acting on their own behalf and at their own risk.

Although EstateMeet reserves the right to review Listings, investigate complaints, remove content, suspend Accounts, cooperate with governmental authorities, and otherwise enforce these Terms, EstateMeet assumes no affirmative duty to monitor Marketplace activity or resolve every dispute arising between Users. The failure of EstateMeet to investigate, remove, or take enforcement action with respect to any Listing or User shall not be interpreted as approval, endorsement, or verification of the underlying conduct or transaction.

11.1 Buyer Responsibility. Prior to completing any purchase, each Buyer is solely responsible for reviewing the applicable Listing, including the Item description, photographs, measurements, condition disclosures, pickup location, pickup deadlines, shipping availability, payment requirements, and any additional terms established by the Seller. A Buyer's decision to purchase an Item constitutes the Buyer's acknowledgment that he or she has had a reasonable opportunity to review the Listing and request additional information from the Seller before entering into the transaction.

PART III

LISTINGS, MARKETPLACE CONTENT, AND TRANSACTIONS

12. Listings

12.1 Listing Creation. A Seller may create Listings for Items that the Seller lawfully owns or is otherwise authorized to sell. Each Listing shall accurately describe the Item offered for sale and shall include sufficient information to enable a reasonable Buyer to understand the nature, condition, dimensions, quantity, price, pickup or delivery requirements, and any material defects affecting the Item. Sellers acknowledge that inaccurate, misleading, deceptive, incomplete, or intentionally omitted information may result in removal of the Listing, suspension of the Seller's Account, cancellation of transactions, or other enforcement action by EstateMeet.

12.2 Accuracy of Listings. Sellers represent and warrant that all information contained in a Listing is true, complete, current, and not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers shall not misrepresent the age, authenticity, provenance, manufacturer, ownership, rarity, condition, or market value of any Item. Where information is uncertain or unknown, the Seller shall clearly disclose that such information is based upon reasonable belief or is otherwise unknown.

12.3 Photographs. Each Listing should include photographs that accurately depict the Item offered for sale. Images shall not be materially altered in a manner that misrepresents the Item's appearance, condition, color, size, or completeness. Stock photographs may be used only where appropriate and shall not replace photographs of the actual Item being sold unless expressly identified as representative images.

12.4 Listing Modifications. A Seller may modify a Listing prior to the completion of a transaction; however, EstateMeet reserves the right to preserve historical versions of Listings for audit, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and internal business purposes. Material modifications made after a Buyer has committed to purchase an Item shall not affect the rights of the Buyer without the Buyer's express consent.

12.5 Listing Removal. EstateMeet reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to remove, suspend, edit, or restrict access to any Listing that EstateMeet reasonably determines violates these Terms, applicable law, intellectual property rights, community standards, payment processor requirements, or the overall integrity of the Marketplace.

13. Artificial Intelligence Assisted Listings

13.1 AI Services. EstateMeet may provide artificial intelligence tools that assist Sellers by generating draft product descriptions, suggested titles, recommended categories, estimated market pricing, searchable keywords, translations, promotional content, inventory classifications, or similar marketplace enhancements. Such services are intended solely to improve efficiency and shall not replace the Seller's independent judgment.

13.2 Seller Responsibility. The Seller remains solely responsible for reviewing, editing, verifying, approving, and publishing all Listing content, regardless of whether any portion of such content was generated, suggested, or modified by EstateMeet's artificial intelligence systems. Publication of AI-generated content by a Seller constitutes the Seller's representation that the content has been independently reviewed and is accurate to the best of the Seller's knowledge.

13.3 No Warranty of AI Output. Artificial intelligence systems may generate inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate content. EstateMeet makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, legality, completeness, merchantability, or fitness of AI-generated output for any particular purpose. AI-generated pricing recommendations, valuation estimates, or descriptive content are informational only and shall not constitute appraisals, guarantees of value, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or professional opinions.

14. Pricing and Availability

14.1 Seller Pricing. Sellers retain sole discretion to establish the listing price for Items offered through the Marketplace unless otherwise required by applicable law. EstateMeet does not establish, negotiate, or approve pricing and assumes no responsibility for determining the fair market value of any Item.

14.2 Suggested Pricing. EstateMeet may provide estimated pricing recommendations based upon publicly available information, historical marketplace activity, machine learning models, user-submitted information, or other proprietary methodologies. Such recommendations are provided solely for informational purposes and do not constitute guarantees of market value or expected selling price.

14.3 Pricing Errors. Sellers shall promptly correct any pricing errors discovered after publication of a Listing. EstateMeet reserves the right to suspend or remove Listings containing obvious pricing mistakes, typographical errors, fraudulent pricing practices, or pricing intended to manipulate marketplace activity.

14.4 Availability. Sellers shall maintain reasonably accurate inventory records and shall promptly update Listings when Items have been sold, withdrawn, damaged, reserved, or otherwise become unavailable. Repeated failures to maintain accurate availability information may result in reduced marketplace visibility or suspension of Seller privileges.

PART IV

PURCHASES, PAYMENT, PICKUP, SHIPPING, AND MARKETPLACE FEES

15. Formation of the Purchase Contract

15.1 Purchase Agreement. Unless expressly stated otherwise, each transaction conducted through the Marketplace constitutes a direct agreement between the applicable Buyer and Seller. EstateMeet provides the technology platform that facilitates communication and transactions between Users but, except where expressly identified as the seller of record, is not a party to the purchase agreement and does not acquire title to, possession of, or ownership interest in any Item listed through the Marketplace.

15.2 Acceptance of Purchase. A Seller's acceptance of a Buyer's purchase request, whether by confirmation through the Platform, acceptance of payment, or other affirmative action, creates a binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller, subject to these Terms and any additional terms disclosed within the applicable Listing. EstateMeet shall have no obligation to enforce the contractual obligations of either party but may, in its sole discretion, assist in resolving disputes as described in these Terms.

15.3 Transfer of Title and Risk of Loss. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed between the Buyer and Seller, title to and risk of loss for an Item shall transfer directly between the Buyer and Seller at the time the Item is delivered to the Buyer or collected by the Buyer from the designated pickup location. EstateMeet does not assume responsibility for Items before, during, or after such transfer.

16. Payments

16.1 Payment Processing. EstateMeet may utilize one or more third-party payment processors to facilitate transactions conducted through the Marketplace. By submitting payment information, each User authorizes the applicable payment processor to charge the designated payment method for all authorized purchases, subscription fees, marketplace fees, taxes, shipping charges, and other amounts due in connection with use of the Platform.

16.2 Third-Party Payment Providers. Payment processing services may be provided by Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, financial institutions, or other payment service providers selected by EstateMeet from time to time. EstateMeet is not responsible for the availability, security, policies, processing times, or performance of any third-party payment provider, and each User agrees that the applicable payment provider's terms and privacy policies shall govern the processing of payment information.

16.3 Payment Authorization. By completing a transaction, the Buyer represents and warrants that the Buyer is authorized to use the selected payment method and authorizes EstateMeet or its payment processor to initiate charges for all amounts associated with the transaction. EstateMeet reserves the right to suspend or cancel any transaction where payment authorization cannot be obtained or where fraudulent activity is reasonably suspected.

16.4 Taxes. Buyers and Sellers acknowledge that applicable federal, state, provincial, local, and foreign taxes may apply to Marketplace transactions. Sellers are solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting taxes required by law unless EstateMeet expressly agrees to collect or remit such taxes on the Seller's behalf pursuant to applicable marketplace facilitator legislation.

17. Marketplace Fees and Subscription Services

17.1 Subscription Plans. EstateMeet may offer free and paid subscription plans, including but not limited to Free, Boost, Premium, Enterprise, or other service tiers. Each subscription plan may provide different features, listing limits, advertising opportunities, reporting capabilities, artificial intelligence services, user management functionality, customer support levels, or other benefits as described on the Platform.

17.2 Fee Modifications. EstateMeet reserves the right to modify subscription pricing, marketplace fees, advertising rates, promotional fees, or other charges at any time upon reasonable advance notice. Changes shall apply prospectively and shall not affect transactions completed prior to the effective date of the revised pricing.

17.3 Automatic Renewal. Unless otherwise specified, paid subscriptions shall automatically renew at the conclusion of each billing cycle using the payment method on file until cancelled by the User. The User may cancel automatic renewal at any time through the Account settings; however, cancellation shall become effective at the conclusion of the current billing period, and previously paid fees shall not be refunded except as required by law.

17.4 Non-Payment. Failure to pay subscription fees or other amounts due may result in suspension of Listings, restriction of Marketplace features, termination of promotional services, suspension of the User's Account, or collection efforts, including recovery of reasonable costs incurred in collecting unpaid amounts where permitted by applicable law.

18. Local Pickup and Delivery

18.1 Seller Responsibility. Unless EstateMeet expressly agrees otherwise, each Seller is solely responsible for coordinating pickup dates, pickup locations, delivery arrangements, loading assistance, access restrictions, parking instructions, appointment scheduling, and any other logistical matters associated with transferring possession of an Item.

18.2 Buyer Responsibility. Buyers shall appear at the designated pickup location within the pickup window established by the Seller. Buyers are responsible for providing suitable transportation, packaging materials, equipment, and labor necessary to remove purchased Items safely. Unless otherwise agreed by the Seller, Buyers shall inspect Items before removing them from the pickup location.

18.3 Failure to Retrieve Purchased Items. If a Buyer fails to retrieve an Item within the time period specified by the Seller, the Seller may, subject to applicable law, cancel the transaction, charge reasonable storage fees, relist the Item, retain any non-refundable deposits disclosed in the Listing, or pursue any other remedies available under applicable law. EstateMeet shall not be liable for losses arising from a Buyer's failure to collect purchased Items.

18.4 Safety. Users acknowledge that many Marketplace transactions occur at private residences, commercial premises, warehouses, or temporary estate sale locations. Each User assumes responsibility for exercising reasonable care when entering another person's property. EstateMeet does not inspect pickup locations and makes no representation regarding their safety, accessibility, or suitability.

19. Shipping

19.1 Shipping Services. Certain Sellers may elect to offer shipping services in addition to local pickup. Shipping arrangements are solely between the Buyer and Seller unless EstateMeet expressly provides shipping services or integrated shipping solutions through the Platform.

19.2 Shipping Costs. Shipping charges, insurance costs, handling fees, customs duties, import taxes, and similar expenses shall be allocated as disclosed in the applicable Listing or otherwise agreed by the Buyer and Seller prior to completion of the transaction.

19.3 Damage During Shipment. Unless EstateMeet expressly acts as the shipping provider, EstateMeet assumes no responsibility for Items that are delayed, damaged, lost, stolen, misdelivered, or destroyed while in transit. Claims relating to shipping damage shall be pursued between the Buyer, Seller, shipping carrier, and insurer, as applicable.

20. Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds

20.1 Seller Policies. Each Seller is responsible for establishing and clearly disclosing any applicable cancellation, return, exchange, or refund policies within the applicable Listing. Unless otherwise required by law, EstateMeet does not require Sellers to accept returns or provide refunds for Items sold through the Marketplace.

20.2 Marketplace Assistance. Although EstateMeet is not a party to transactions between Buyers and Sellers, EstateMeet may, in its sole discretion, review complaints involving fraud, duplicate listings, material misrepresentation, payment irregularities, or repeated violations of these Terms. EstateMeet may suspend Accounts, remove Listings, facilitate communications between Users, or take other reasonable actions intended to preserve the integrity of the Marketplace; however, EstateMeet shall have no obligation to adjudicate disputes or provide compensation to either party.

20.3 Chargebacks. Buyers agree to make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes directly with the Seller before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute through a financial institution. EstateMeet reserves the right to suspend Marketplace privileges where a User repeatedly initiates unwarranted chargebacks or otherwise abuses the payment dispute process.

21. Reservation and Hold Services

21.1 Reservation Features. EstateMeet may permit Sellers to offer reservation, hold, or pre-purchase functionality for eligible Items. The availability of such features shall be determined solely by EstateMeet and may vary based on subscription level, marketplace category, geographic location, or other business considerations.

21.2 Reservation Deposits. Where permitted by the Platform, Sellers may require refundable or non-refundable reservation deposits, provided that the terms governing such deposits are clearly disclosed before the Buyer confirms the reservation. Buyers acknowledge that reservation deposits may be forfeited if the Buyer fails to complete the transaction in accordance with the disclosed reservation terms.

21.3 No Guarantee of Availability. EstateMeet does not guarantee that a reserved Item will remain available in the event of technical errors, payment failures, duplicate reservations, fraudulent activity, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond EstateMeet's reasonable control. EstateMeet shall not be liable for any losses arising from the unavailability of a reserved Item.

PART V

22. User Content

22.1 Ownership of User Content. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, Users retain all ownership rights in and to the photographs, videos, written descriptions, trademarks, logos, business names, graphics, inventory information, and other content that they create or upload to the Platform ("User Content").

Users acknowledge that Marketplace transactions inherently involve risks, including the possibility of fraud, theft, counterfeit merchandise, inaccurate descriptions, undisclosed defects, shipment delays, payment disputes, property damage, personal injury, and disputes regarding ownership or authenticity.
