1. General Provisions and Contract Formation

1.1 Acceptance of Terms and Scope of Application

By accessing, using, or registering a seller account on the Cultioo Business App (the "App" or "Platform"), you ("Seller", "you" or "your") fully, irrevocably, and unconditionally accept these Terms of Service (the "TOS"), the Cultioo Business Privacy Policy, and the terms of our external payment service provider Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe Terms").

Your consent is provided through a clickwrap procedure: Before activating your seller account or conducting your first transaction, you must actively click a checkbox or press a button confirming your acknowledgment and acceptance of these TOS. This procedure ensures the legal enforceability of these TOS, including the arbitration agreement in Section 13.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: These TOS contain provisions that limit our liability, include a binding arbitration agreement, and waive your right to participate in class action lawsuits. Please read these carefully.

1.2 Cultioo's Role as Technology Intermediary

Cultioo functions exclusively as a technology platform for listing, discovering, and facilitating transactions between sellers and buyers.

Cultioo is NOT:

A reseller, agent, broker, or manufacturer of your products

A contracting party to the purchase agreement between you and the buyer

Responsible for the execution, fulfillment, or enforcement of purchase contracts

A "Merchant of Record" for your transactions

You as the seller are the "Seller of Record" and solely responsible for all aspects of the sale, including product quality, legality, warranties, and customer service.

Cultioo expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the fulfillment of purchase contracts, compliance with applicable laws by sellers, or disputes arising from direct transactions between users.

1.3 United States of America

These TOS apply exclusively to sellers who are resident or conduct business in the United States of America, sell products through the Cultioo platform to buyers in the USA, and comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state laws.

2. Account Management and Seller Obligations

2.1 Registration and Verification

a) Registration Requirements

You must provide true, current, and complete information during registration, including:

For Individuals:

Full legal name

Social Security Number (SSN)

Residential address

Email address and phone number

Bank account information for payouts

For Businesses:

Legal business name

Employer Identification Number (EIN)

Business address

b) Verification and KYC/AML

You are required to undergo the verification process through Stripe Connect. This process includes:

Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification: Identity verification through submission of a government-issued photo ID

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Checks: Screening against sanctions lists and terrorism databases

Business Verification: Proof of business legitimacy (for businesses)

Verification is required to receive payouts, protect the platform from fraud, and comply with financial regulations.

Cultioo reserves the right to request additional documentation or deny verification if the information provided is incomplete or suspicious.

c) INFORM Consumers Act Compliance

If you become a High-Volume Seller (200+ transactions AND $5,000+ gross revenues in 12 months), you are required to provide additional business information, consent to disclosure of your identity and contact details to buyers, and submit to annual verification of your information.

This serves consumer protection pursuant to the INFORM Consumers Act (15 U.S.C. § 45f).

2.2 Data Integrity and Updates

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and currency of your account information, immediate updates upon changes (address, bank details, business structure), the security and confidentiality of your login credentials and passwords, and all activities conducted under your account.

False or outdated information can lead to:

Delays in payouts

Account suspension

Tax and legal consequences

Termination of your seller agreement

2.3 Suspension and Termination by Cultioo

Cultioo reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at any time and at its sole discretion, particularly in cases of violation of these TOS, the Privacy Policy, or the Stripe Terms, non-compliance with verification requirements, suspicion of fraud, money laundering, or illegal activities, repeated customer complaints about product quality or service, sale of prohibited or restricted products, manipulation of reviews or abusive behavior, non-payment of fees, commissions, or chargebacks, and violations of tax laws or licensing requirements.

**Account termination may occur without prior notice. ** In the event of suspension or termination, outstanding payouts will be withheld until all open claims are resolved, you lose access to all account data and transaction histories, you have no entitlement to refund of fees paid, and you remain liable for all obligations incurred before termination.

3. Product Listing and Seller Responsibility

3.1 Sole Product Responsibility

You as the seller bear SOLE and EXCLUSIVE responsibility for:

a) Product Quality and Safety

All products you list and sell must be safe, merchantable, and free from defects. Products must comply with applicable federal laws (FDA, USDA, CPSC) and state regulations. You are liable for all product recalls, safety warnings, or regulatory actions.

b) Product Information and Descriptions

All product descriptions, images, prices, and specifications must be truthful, complete, and not misleading. You must disclose all material information including complete ingredient list, allergens (nuts, gluten, dairy, etc.), expiration date/best-by date, weight/quantity/serving size, country of origin, and storage instructions.

False or misleading information can lead to customer complaints, refunds, and legal consequences.

c) Legality and Compliance

You warrant that all your products are legally acquired, manufactured, and permitted to be sold. You possess all required licenses, permits, and certificates including Food Handler's Permit, Cottage Food License (if applicable), agricultural certifications (Organic, etc.), and liquor license (if applicable). You do not sell prohibited or restricted products.

d) Storage and Handling

You are responsible for proper storage, especially for perishable products including compliance with cold chain for temperature-sensitive products, hygienic storage conditions, and prevention of contamination or spoilage. Products must be properly packaged and ready for shipment until pickup.

3.2 Warranty Disclaimer Toward Cultioo

CULTIOO MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES REGARDING PRODUCTS LISTED ON THE PLATFORM.

PRODUCTS ARE SOLD BY THE SELLER TO THE BUYER ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS.

Liability for product quality, conformity with description, fitness for a particular purpose, and accuracy of product information lies SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY with the seller, NOT with Cultioo.

This comprehensive warranty disclaimer means Cultioo does not verify the quality, safety, or legality of your products, does not guarantee the accuracy of your product descriptions, and is not liable for product defects, injuries, or damages.

3.3 Prohibited and Restricted Products

You may NOT sell the following products on the Cultioo platform:

Absolutely Prohibited:

Illegal drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances

Weapons, ammunition, or explosives

Counterfeit or stolen products

Products that violate third-party intellectual property rights

Tobacco products

Live animals (except licensed livestock with permits)

Prescription medications

Hazardous or toxic substances

Pornographic or offensive materials

Humans, body parts, or bodily fluids

Restricted (only with approval/license):

Alcoholic beverages (requires liquor license)

Cannabis/CBD products (only in licensed states)

Raw milk products (depending on state law)

Wild game and game meat (requires USDA inspection)

Dietary supplements with medical claims

Cultioo reserves the right to remove product listings without notice if they violate our policies.

Setting fair and competitive prices

Not engaging in price manipulation or price gouging

Updating price changes promptly in the app

Not offering misleading discounts or "fake sales"

4. Payment Processing and Financial Terms

4.1 External Payment Service Provider (Stripe Connect)

All payment processing on the Cultioo Business App – including collection of the purchase price, deduction of commissions, and payout to you – is conducted exclusively through our external service provider Stripe, Inc. (Stripe Connect).

BY USING THE PAYMENT FUNCTION, YOU AUTOMATICALLY AGREE TO THE STRIPE TERMS (STRIPE CONNECTED ACCOUNT AGREEMENT), which are hereby incorporated by reference into these TOS.

Stripe Terms available at: https://stripe.com/legal/connect-account

You are expressly informed that the Stripe Terms may contain potentially onerous clauses, and you are obligated to review them carefully.

CULTIOO ASSUMES NO LIABILITY for failures, delays, errors, or decisions by Stripe or associated financial service providers, unless they result from gross negligence or willful misconduct by Cultioo.

4.2 Commissions and Fees

Cultioo reserves the right to charge commissions and service fees on your transactions.

Current Fee Structure:

Sales Commission: 5% of gross sales price (before taxes)

Payment Processing Fee: According to Stripe fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)

Commission Deduction:

Commissions are automatically deducted from each transaction. You receive the net proceeds (sales price minus commissions and fees). A detailed breakdown is available in your seller dashboard.

Fee Changes:

Cultioo reserves the right to change the fee structure with 30 days' notice. Continued use after changes means acceptance of the new fees.

4.3 Payouts

Payout Schedule:

Payouts occur automatically according to a set schedule (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly). The standard payout schedule is displayed in your seller dashboard. Stripe may delay payouts to prevent fraud or conduct verifications.

Payout Method:

Payouts are made exclusively via ACH transfer (Automated Clearing House) to your verified bank account. You must have a U.S. bank account at a licensed bank or credit union.

Minimum Payout Amount: $0

Payout Statements:

You receive detailed payout statements through the Stripe Dashboard. These serve as the basis for your tax return.

4.4 Chargebacks, Disputes, and Refunds

a) Chargebacks

If a buyer initiates a chargeback through their bank or credit card company (e.g., for non-receipt of goods, unauthorized transaction, defective goods), YOU as the seller are liable for the full transaction amount, chargeback fees (typically $15-$25 per case), and all associated costs.

Cultioo/Stripe will deduct the amount from your seller account or withhold it from future payouts.

Your Defense Rights:

You have the right to submit evidence to defend against unjustified chargebacks including proof of delivery (Delvioo confirmation), communication with the buyer, and product photos. Stripe forwards your defense to the card company.

Repeated Chargebacks:

A high chargeback rate (>1% of transactions) can lead to account suspension, increased fees, payout delays, and termination of your seller account.

b) Disputes and Complaints

Buyers can report disputes through the Cultioo platform (e.g., wrong items, damaged goods, missing items).

Your Obligations:

Respond to disputes within 48 hours

Negotiate in good faith with the buyer

Offer reasonable solutions (replacement, partial refund, etc.)

Cultioo may, at its sole discretion:

Enforce refunds in favor of the buyer

Withhold amounts from your account

Suspend your account for repeated violations

4.5 Authorization of Bank Data

You expressly consent that Stripe may process your bank data for Compliance Purposes (Compliance with Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations), Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification (Identity verification and risk assessment), Payout Processing (ACH transfers to your account), and Recoveries (Deduction of chargebacks, fees, or negative balances).

This authorization enables Stripe to obtain necessary information about you and your business from third-party providers (credit bureaus, databases).

5. Logistics, Product Pickup, and Risk Transfer

5.1 Pickup Readiness and Packaging

You are obligated to:

Make products pickup-ready:

Products must be fully packaged, labeled, and ready for shipment at the agreed pickup time. Perishable products must be appropriately refrigerated/insulated. Fragile products must be properly protected.

Provide precise pickup location:

You must specify a precise pickup location in the app. The pickup location must be accessible to the Delvioo Driver. You or an authorized representative must be present for handover.

Adequate packaging:

Products must be delivered in safe, hygienic, and industry-standard packaging. Food must comply with food-safe packaging. You are liable for damages due to inadequate packaging.

5.2 Risk Transfer (Point of Risk Transfer)

THE SELLER RETAINS FULL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY for product quality and condition until the moment of physical handover to the Delvioo Driver OR a third-party shipping service provider privately organized by you.

From the moment of handover to the carrier, the risk of accidental loss or deterioration passes to the carrier or buyer. You are no longer liable for transport damages (except for inadequate packaging). The carrier bears responsibility for safe delivery.

This risk transfer corresponds to the commercial practice "FOB Origin" (Free On Board - shipping point).

5.3 Delvioo Driver as Independent Contractor

IMPORTANT CLASSIFICATION:

When transport is performed by a Delvioo Driver, the Driver acts EXCLUSIVELY AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR of Delvioo/Cultioo, and NOT as an employee, agent, or direct representative.

Driver Liability:

The Delvioo Driver, as an independent party, is liable for safe and professional pickup of goods, compliance with a realistic delivery time, all damages, injuries, or property losses that occur during transport, and traffic accidents or incidents during delivery.

No Joint Liability:

You as the seller are NOT liable for the actions or omissions of the Delvioo Driver after proper handover of the goods.

Cultioo and you are not responsible for delays by the Driver, improper handling by the Driver (after proper handover), or accidents or damages caused by the Driver.

5.4 Self-Organized Shipping (Third Party)

If you privately organize shipping through a third-party shipping service provider (e.g., UPS, FedEx, own delivery):

SOLE LIABILITY for the following aspects rests with you: selection of a reliable shipping service provider, smooth shipping and timely delivery, compliance with all delivery terms, communication with the buyer about shipping status, and tracking information.

Cultioo assumes NO logistics liability in this case.

5.5 Notification Obligations in Case of Problems

In case of unforeseen delays, breakdowns, or delivery problems, you are obligated to inform the buyer immediately, coordinate a solution directly with the buyer, and notify Cultioo of serious incidents.

Your failure to inform the buyer can lead to customer complaints, negative reviews, refund demands, and account suspension.

6. Tax Obligations and Compliance

6.1 State Sales Tax

a) Marketplace Facilitator Responsibility

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:

In accordance with Marketplace Facilitator (MPF) laws that apply in the overwhelming majority of U.S. states, Cultioo Inc. assumes the statutory obligation to collect and remit state sales and use taxes for transactions processed through the platform.

What this means for you:

Cultioo automatically collects sales tax from the buyer at the time of transaction

Cultioo remits sales tax to the appropriate state authorities

You do NOT need to separately collect or remit sales tax for transactions through Cultioo

Your Obligations:

Correct product categorization (some products are tax-exempt or have reduced tax rates), providing accurate product information, and cooperation during tax audits or inquiries.

b) Exceptions and Special Cases

Sales tax may not apply to certain food items (tax-exempt in some states), agricultural products (depending on state), and transactions below certain thresholds.

You are responsible for knowledge of the tax treatment of your products, compliance with state special regulations, and transactions outside the Cultioo platform.

6.2 Income Tax and Self-Employment Tax

You are solely responsible for:

Proper reporting of all income from sales through Cultioo on your Federal Income Tax Return

Payment of Self-Employment Tax on your net profits

Maintenance of proper accounting records

Remittance of estimated quarterly tax payments (Estimated Tax Payments), if required

6.3 IRS Reporting Requirements and Form 1099-K

a) Stripe as Payment Settlement Entity (PSE)

Stripe, as a "Payment Settlement Entity" (PSE), is legally obligated to report transaction information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Form 1099-K Reporting:

Stripe will issue you and the IRS a Form 1099-K (Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions) if your gross transactions exceed $20,000 OR you had 200 or more transactions in a calendar year.

Note: The threshold was recently lowered to $600 without a minimum number of transactions (effective tax year 2024).

b) Your Obligations

You are required to file a correct IRS Form W-9 (for U.S. persons) or W-8BEN (for non-U. S. persons) with Stripe, provide your Tax Identification Number (TIN) (SSN for individuals, EIN for businesses), and consent to electronic delivery of 1099-K documents via the Stripe Dashboard.

Failure:

If you do not provide a valid TIN, Stripe is required to apply Backup Withholding (currently 24%) from your payouts and remit these withheld amounts to the IRS.

6.4 State Income Tax

In addition to federal income tax, state income taxes may apply, depending on your state of residence and states in which you conduct business (Economic Nexus).

You are responsible for compliance with your state's income tax laws, registration and reporting in states with Economic Nexus, and payment of estimated state tax payments.

6.5 Licenses and Permits

Depending on your products and location, you may need:

General Business Licenses: Business License, Seller's Permit, Zoning Permits (for home-based businesses)

Food-Specific Licenses: Food Handler's Permit, Cottage Food License (for homemade foods), Commercial Kitchen License (for commercial kitchens), Health Department Inspections

Special Licenses: Organic Certification, Liquor License, USDA Inspection (for meat and poultry)

You warrant that you possess all required licenses and permits and that they are current.

7. Insurance and Risk Management

7.1 Mandatory Insurance Requirement

You as the seller are required to obtain and maintain adequate insurance to cover risks associated with your business.

a) Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance

Minimum Coverage Limits:

$1,000,000 per occurrence

$2,000,000 general aggregate

Covered Risks: Product Liability, Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal & Advertising Injury

b) Product Liability Insurance

Required if you sell food products, manufacture or process products, or sell products under your own brand.

Minimum Coverage: $1,000,000 per occurrence

c) Cultioo as Additional Insured

IMPORTANT: Cultioo Inc. MUST be named as "Additional Insured" on your insurance policy.

This means Cultioo is directly protected by your insurance. In claims against Cultioo arising from your products, the insurance can defend and indemnify Cultioo. This secures the indemnification obligation.

d) Proof of Insurance

You are required to submit a Certificate of Insurance (COI) to Cultioo, maintain insurance throughout the duration of your seller activity, and inform Cultioo of changes or cancellations of insurance (at least 30 days' notice).

Failure:

If you do not provide proof of adequate insurance, your account may be suspended, you cannot list or sell products, and you are personally and unlimitedly liable for all claims.

7.2 Transport Insurance

For higher-value shipments, we strongly recommend Cargo/Transit Insurance and coverage for loss, theft, or damage during transport.

This is your responsibility if you organize shipping yourself.

8. Claims and Refunds

8.1 Contractual Reporting Period for Problems

30-DAY REPORTING PERIOD:

The period for reporting a problem, defect, or complaint via the Cultioo App is strictly 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY of the goods.

AFTER EXPIRATION OF THIS CONTRACTUAL PERIOD, DEFECTS CAN NO LONGER BE REPORTED OR CLAIMED VIA THE CULTIOO APP.

This short reporting period forces buyers to promptly inspect received goods, enables quick problem resolution, and protects against stale claims.

Note: Statutory claims subject to longer statutes of limitations remain fundamentally unaffected but must be asserted outside the platform directly against you.

8.2 Primary Resolution of Disputes

BUYER AND SELLER RESPONSIBILITY:

The primary resolution and settlement of product, quality, or delivery problems must occur directly between you and the buyer.

Cultioo is NOT obligated to participate in these primary negotiations, act as mediator, or make decisions about refunds.

Cultioo may, at its sole discretion provide communication mechanisms or offer voluntary dispute resolution. This does not create a legal obligation to intervene.

8.3 Refund Processing

For legitimate complaints (e.g., defective goods, wrong items, prematurely expired products):

Your Obligations:

Offer reasonable solutions (full refund, partial refund, replacement delivery, credit for future purchases) and initiate the refund within 7 business days after agreement.

Financial Processing:

The financial burden of the refund rests exclusively with you. Cultioo will deduct the refund amount from your seller account. Commissions already paid out are not refunded.

Repeated Refunds:

A high refund rate can lead to account review, increased fees, account suspension, and termination.

8.4 Customer's Right to Refund

The buyer is entitled to a refund for product defects (spoiled, damaged, or unsafe products), wrong item (you delivered the wrong item), missing items (parts of the order are missing), prematurely expired products (products with an already exceeded expiration date), not as described (significant deviations from the product description), and not delivered (product was never delivered after reasonable waiting time).

9. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

9.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CULTIOO IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES arising from use of the App or transactions, including but not limited to Lost Profits, Lost Revenue, Business Interruption, Loss of Data, Damage to Reputation, and Loss of Business Opportunities.

This comprehensive exclusion is a central element of risk minimization and is permissible and enforceable in commercial contract law between business partners.

9.2 Limitation of Total Liability (Liability Cap)

MAXIMUM LIABILITY:

Cultioo Inc.'s total liability to you for all claims arising from these TOS or use of the platform is limited to a specified maximum amount.

This total liability is limited to the greater of:

THE CULTIOO BUSINESS APP AND ALL ASSOCIATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE".

You accept all risks associated with using the technology.

9.4 Indemnification

a) Your Products

Product liability claims (injuries, illnesses, damages from your products), product defects or errors, misrepresentations or misleading product information, allergic reactions or health damages, and violations of food safety laws.

b) Your Violation of these TOS

Breach of contract clauses, violation of prohibited product policies, and failure to fulfill obligations.

c) Your Non-Compliance with Laws

Violations of federal laws (FDA, USDA, FTC), violations of state regulations, license or permit violations, and tax violations.

d) Infringement of Third-Party Rights

Infringement of intellectual property rights (trademarks, copyrights, patents), violation of privacy or data protection rights, and defamation or libel.

e) Your Negligent or Intentional Acts

Fraud or intentional misrepresentation and gross negligence.

This indemnification includes all attorney's fees and legal costs, court costs and settlement amounts, damages and punitive payments, and regulatory fines.

Cooperation Obligation:

You are required to notify Cultioo immediately of potential claims, cooperate in the defense against claims, and provide all necessary information and documents.

Enforceability:

The enforceability of this indemnification obligation is directly tied to your financial strength. Therefore, mandatory insurance with Cultioo as "Additional Insured" is essential.

You can control the Delvioo App's access to your location data via your mobile device settings (iOS or Android)

Options:

Delivery confirmation

Legal Basis: Contract performance (Contractual Necessity)

Processing of PoD data is a necessary prerequisite for financial settlement.

Your full name

Your address

Your email address associated with your Delvioo account

15. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and all disputes arising therefrom are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

The choice of Delaware law is made because of its well-developed and business-friendly commercial legislation.

Important Limitations:

While Delaware law governs contractual disputes, the classification of workers as employees or independent contractors is subject to:

Federal law (Fair Labor Standards Act, FLSA)

The law of the state where the driver actually performs services

This means that if a driver operates primarily in New Jersey, for example, New Jersey's ABC test for worker classification would apply to any misclassification dispute, regardless of this choice-of-law provision.

16. Severability Clause

If any provision of these TOS is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic purpose of the original provision.

The parties commit to negotiating in good faith to replace the invalid provision with a legally permissible provision.

17. Amendments to the TOS

Delvioo reserves the right to amend or update these TOS at any time. We will notify you of material changes via:

Email to your registered email address
