12. Use of Vindy Transaction Information.

    You will not, and will cause your affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (a) disclose or convey any Vindy Transaction Information (except you may disclose this information as necessary for you to perform your obligations under this Agreement and provided that you ensure that every recipient uses the information only for that purpose and complies with the restrictions applicable to you related to that information); (b) use any Vindy Transaction Information for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, or otherwise in any way inconsistent with our or your privacy policies or applicable Law; (c) contact a Person that has ordered Your Product that has not yet been delivered with the intent to collect any amounts in connection therewith or to influence such Person to make an alternative purchase; (d) disparage us, our affiliates, or any of their or our respective products or services; or (e) target communications of any kind on the basis of the intended recipient being an Vindy Site user. The terms of this Section 14 do not prevent you from using other information that you acquire without reference to Vindy Transaction Information for any purpose, even if such information is identical to Vindy Transaction Information, provided that you do not target communications on the basis of the intended recipient being a Vindy Site user.

13. Suggestions and Other Information.

    If you or any of your affiliates elect to provide or make available suggestions, comments, ideas, improvements, or other feedback or materials to us in connection with or related to the Vindy Site or Services (including any related Technology), we will be free to use, disclose, reproduce, modify, license, transfer and otherwise distribute, and exploit any of the foregoing information or materials in any manner. In order to cooperate with governmental requests, to protect our systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, we may access and disclose any information we consider necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to user contact details, IP addresses and traffic information, usage history and posted content.

14. Modification.

    We may amend any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (including the Service Terms and Program Policies) at any time and at our sole discretion.

All notice of changes to the Agreement will be posted for at least 30 days. Changes to Program Policies may be made without notice to you. You should refer regularly to our Terms and Conditions. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF A SERVICE AFTER VINDY'S POSTING OF ANY CHANGES WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS.

15. Password Security.

    You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not disclose your password to any third party (other than third parties authorized by you to use your account in accordance with this Agreement) and are solely responsible for any use of or action taken under your password. If your password is compromised, you must immediately change your password.

16. Miscellaneous.

    The Governing Laws will govern this Agreement, without reference to rules governing choice of laws or the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute with Vindy or its affiliates or claim relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration as described in this paragraph, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in a small claims court that is a Governing Court if your claims qualify and you or we may bring suit in the Governing Courts to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Vindy will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs from you in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.

    You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement subsequently.

    Vindy retains the right to immediately halt any transaction, prevent or restrict access to the Services or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of any inaccurate listing, any inappropriately categorized items, any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited by the applicable Program Policies.

    Because Vindy is not your agent except for the limited purpose of receiving Sales Proceeds on your behalf, and providing Bin and Hold services per the customer’s delivery preference, Vindy will not act as either party's agent in connection with resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any transaction.

    We will send all notices and other communications regarding this Agreement to you at the e-mail addresses you designated for notifications and updates in your program, or by any other means then specified by Vindy. You may change your e-mail addresses by updating your profile information in the Vindy Site. You will update your e-mail addresses (as well as your legal name, address and phone number) as often as necessary to ensure that they are accurate. You must send all notices and other communications relating to Vindy to our team at support@vindyapp.com.

    This Agreement incorporates and you hereby accept the applicable Service Terms and the applicable Program Policies, which Vindy may modify from time to time. In the event of any conflicts between the Program Policies and this Agreement, the Program Policies will prevail. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Services and related subject matter described herein and supersedes any previous or contemporaneous oral or written agreements and understandings.
