GrubMarket is an online marketplace for the sell and purchase of food.

GrubMarket is an online marketplace that allows users to offer, sell and buy food. As a marketplace, GrubMarket itself does not own or sell the items listed at the Site or otherwise made available through the Services. GrubMarket also does not pre-screen its users or any information provided by its users. Thus, the actual selling and buying transactions are directly between the sellers and buyers, the users of GrubMarket; GrubMarket merely provides an online venue to facilitate such transactions, and is not responsible for any disputes between the sellers and buyers; seller and buyer shall only look to each other for any liabilities arising from such transactions.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that GrubMarket has no control over, cannot, and does not in any way guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items offered in this online marketplace, the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item. You further acknowledge and agree that you use the Services at your own risk, and that neither you nor your representative will go after GrubMarket, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents, successors or assigns for any claims relating to the Services.

Free Services Provided by GrubMarket

We do not charge users for using the Services. However, we reserve the right to make changes to this fee arrangement by posting the changes on the Site thirty (30) days in advance.

Content

When providing us with content or posting content using the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks, database rights and intellectual property rights you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future. Further, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your moral rights and promise not to assert such rights against us, our sublicensees or assignees.

You represent and warrant that none of the following infringe any intellectual property right: your provision of content to us, your posting of content using the Services, and our use of such content (including works derived therefrom) in connection with the Services.

We may offer catalogs of stock images, descriptions and product specifications that are provided by third-parties (including GrubMarket users). You may use catalog content solely in connection with your GrubMarket listings.

While we try to offer reliable data, we cannot promise that the catalogs will always be accurate and up-to-date, and you agree that you will not hold our catalog providers or us responsible for inaccuracies in the catalogues. The catalog may include copyrighted, trademarked or other proprietary materials. You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary or identification markings included within the catalogs or create any derivative works based on catalog content (other than by including them in your listings at GrubMarket).

Copyrights

We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and will respond to clear notices of copyright infringement consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and its response to such notices may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content, terminating the accounts of repeat infringers, and/or making good-faith attempts to contact the user who posted the content at issue so that he may, where appropriate, make a counter-notification. If you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitute copyright infringement, and such infringing materials are posted on the Site, or in connection with the Services, please contact us by email at copyright@grubmarket.com and provide all relevant details.

Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Release

We try to keep the Services safe, secure, and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to the Services, because any functionality of the Services may be subject to factors beyond our control.

You agree that you are making use of the Services at your own risk, and that they are being provided to you on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all express or implied warranties, terms and conditions including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we, including our affiliates and our directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, and agents (collectively, "Personnel") and Personnel of our affiliates, are not liable, and you agree not to hold us responsible, for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money, goodwill or reputation, profits, or other intangible losses, or any other direct, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses, resulting directly or indirectly from:

1. your use of or your inability to use the Services;
2. delays or disruptions in the Services;
3. viruses or other malicious software obtained by accessing, or linking to, the Services;
4. glitches, bugs, errors, or inaccuracies of any kind in the Services;
5. damage to your hardware device from the use of the Services;
6. the content, actions, or inactions of third parties, including items listed using the Services or the destruction of allegedly fake items;
7. a suspension or other action taken with respect to your account;
8. the duration or manner in which your listings appear in search results; or
9. your need to modify practices, content, or behavior or your loss of or inability to do business, as a result of changes to these Terms of Use.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the total fees that you paid to us during the twelve (12) months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, excluding the costs of providing the Services to you during the same period.

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold GrubMarket, including our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, and agents, and such Personnel of our affiliates, harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, made by any party in connection with your use of the Services, the content you provided or posted using the Services, your breach of this Agreement, your breach of any law or the rights of a third party, and any other acts or omissions relating to the Services.

Disputes

By using the Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any kind that might arise between you and GrubMarket.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement to arbitrate.

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 these Terms of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.  The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.

You and GrubMarket both 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, both parties agree to waive any right to a jury trial. It's also agreed that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Where the dispute is resolved by a court, the exclusive venue will be the state or federal courts in the Santa Clara County, California.

Notices

Except as otherwise agreed by the parties, any notice shall be given by email to GrubMarket, Inc. at support@grubmarket.com (in the case of GrubMarket) or, in your case, to the email address you have provided to GrubMarket. Notice shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, GrubMarket may, at its sole discretion and option, give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the address you have provided to GrubMarket, where notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date of mailing.

General

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. In our sole discretion, we may freely assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, by posting notice of such assignment on the Site. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of this Agreement. You and GrubMarket are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and GrubMarket and supersede all prior understandings and agreements of the parties.
