SECTION 1 – SERVICE

 

YAK provides a mobile and web based marketplace for individuals and vendors to buy and sell new and used outdoor gear and apparel. In order to buy or sell on YAK, users must register.  

 

SECTION 2 – FEES

 

There are no fees for listing products on the platform.  

SECTION 3 – LISTING PRODUCTS

 

Seller must provide an accurate description and photos to represent their product and ensure that any blemishes or defects are noted.  Seller sets the price of each item posted on YAK.  Seller is responsible for all shipping costs associated with delivering the item to the end buyer.  Sellers should take all costs of packaging and shipping their products into account when setting the price of their items.

 

SECTION 4 – PAYMENTS TO SELLERS

 

Once an item has been purchased, YAK will retrieve the funds from the end buyer.  YAK will hold funds until the item has been successfully shipped and approved by the end buyer.  Once the item has been approved, YAK will release the funds to the seller, less YAK commissions (20%).  Funds will be delivered to the seller via ACH or Debit Card within 5 business days of final approval.  YAK utilizes Stripe for collecting and distributing payments.  All payment information is held by Stripe, not YAK.   Payment processing services for [account holder term, e.g. drivers or sellers] on [platform name] are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to [this agreement / these terms / etc.] or continuing to operate as a [account holder term] on [platform name], you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of [platform name] enabling payment-processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide [platform name] accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize [platform name] to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

 

SECTION 5 – SHIPPING ITEMS

 

Sellers agree to ship their sold items within 72 hours of the sale.  Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in a negative review and/or suspension of the users account.  Once the item is shipped via FedEx, USPS, or UPS, the seller must supply YAK with the associated tracking number to verify shipment.  Please note, USPS does not supply tracking numbers.  You must request a tracking number.  

 

SECTION 6 – GEAR APPROVAL PROCESS

 

Our purpose is to provide a safe place for buyers and sellers to interact.  YAK allows 72 hours from the time of delivery to allow the user to inspect their purchased items. We allow this time to insure that products are not grossly misrepresented.  This condition exists to ensure that sellers are accurately displaying and describing the items in question. If the buyer approves of the item condition, or the 72-hour inspection time has passed, then the transaction is finalized and funds are released to the seller.  All transactions are final.  

 

If a buyer finds that the item has been misrepresented they may contact customer service within 72 hours of delivery.  YAK will either work with the seller to renegotiate a new price for the item, or in some cases, the seller account will be suspended.  YAK will relay a total of two counteroffers before suspending the transaction.  Seller will be responsible for all charges necessary in correcting the issue and returning fees for returning the item to the seller including but not limited to a one time $15 administrative fee.  If YAK deems that the item was not misrepresented, the sale will be final and funds will be released to the seller.  All sales are final.

 

Any abuse of this policy by buyers and sellers will be deemed fraudulent and may result in a negative review and/or account suspension.  This policy exists to protect buyers and ensure that sellers accurately represent all items listed in the platform.  If a buyer or seller violates these terms it will result in a permanent removal from the platform.
