Terms of Use

Effective Date: July 15, 2021.

Hey OhGoody user!

Here’s the lowdown: OhGoody is a place where people can sign up and sell their food related goodies to other people around the world. OhGoody is only the place of sale. We don’t assume responsibility for any of the products or the people selling products on the platform. We can’t guarantee that the people selling a product can actually make the sale, just like we can’t guarantee to them that their buyers can actually buy the product. 

That’s the gist of it! We are here to help you and you can reach us anytime at support@ohgoody.com, we will usually respond in 24 hours. Below, you can find all the other stuff our lawyers want you to read.

Introduction

Please read these Terms carefully before using OhGoody.com and any online services, software or apps provided by OhGoody, LLC (“OhGoody”, “we”, or “us” or “our”) that post a link to these Terms (the “Service”). When you (individually, or the entity that you represent, each “you”) access or otherwise use the Service in any manner, you agree to the then posted Terms and any applicable Additional Terms (defined below), to be bound by them, and that you have read and understood them.  You also acknowledge, agree and consent to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy.

These Terms affect your legal rights, responsibilities and obligations and govern your use of the Service, are legally binding, limit OhGoody’s liability to you and require you to indemnify us and to settle certain disputes through individual arbitration.  If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, do not use the Service.

Additional Terms

In some instances, additional or different terms, posted on the Service, apply to your use of certain parts of the Service (individually and collectively “Additional Terms”). For example, users who list any Products (defined below) for sale through our Services are subject to our Vendor Additional Terms. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise. A list of Additional Terms can be found here.

Updates to these Terms and Additional Terms

We may prospectively change these Terms and Additional Terms by posting new or changed terms on the Service as more fully explained here

1. BACKGROUND

OhGoody is a marketplace where people who visit the Site intending to buy (collectively, “Buyers”, “Buyer”) various products listed on the Site (collectively, “Products”, “Product”) can make purchases from different users who sell various Products (collectively, “Vendors”, “Sellers”) on the Site. OhGoody is simply the online platform/venue. You acknowledge that the actual contract for sale is directly and solely between the Vendor and the Buyer. OhGoody is not directly involved in any transaction between Vendors and Buyers. As such, OhGoody has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the Products that may be listed or purchased. You further understand that OhGoody has no control over whether or not a Vendor has the ability to sell a Product or whether the Buyer has the ability to buy a Product, or the truth or accuracy of the Products that are listed on the Site. OhGoody does not transfer legal ownership of Products between a Vendor and a Buyer and cannot guarantee any particular Vendor or Buyer will complete a transaction.

OhGoody provides informational resources for users on various aspects of the Service. These resources are purely informational and may address topics such as pricing, listing, shipping or sourcing.  Users are free to follow or disregard these resources.

In your communications with us, please keep in mind that we do not seek any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even suggested improvements to the Services, including, without limitation, ideas, concepts, or designs for websites, apps, software or otherwise (collectively, “Unsolicited Ideas and Materials”).  Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you submit are deemed UGC and licensed to us as set forth below.  In addition, OhGoody retains all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.  OhGoody’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by OhGoody of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair OhGoody’s right to contest existing or future Intellectual Property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

(iii)       License to OhGoody of Your UGC.  Except as otherwise described in any applicable Additional Terms, which specifically govern the submission of your UGC, or in our Privacy Policy, you hereby grant OhGoody, the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your UGC (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any means or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same.  Without limitation, the granted rights include the right to: (a) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify, reformat, edit, adapt, publish in searchable format, and remove such UGC and combine same with other materials, and (b) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any UGC for any purposes whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services.  You understand that in exercising such rights metadata, notices and content may be removed or altered, including copyright management information, and you consent thereto and represent and warrant you have all necessary authority to do so.  In order to further effect the rights and license that you grant to OhGoody to your UGC, you also, as permitted by applicable law, hereby grant to OhGoody, and agree to grant to OhGoody, the unconditional, perpetual, irrevocable right to use and exploit your name, persona, and likeness in connection with any UGC, without any obligation or remuneration to you.  Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you agree to waive, any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any UGC, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.  To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights.  You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 3.A(iii).

Without limitation, we may, but do not commit to, do so to address content that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms. Such UGC submitted by you or others need not be maintained on the Service by us for any period of time, and you will not have the right, once submitted, to access, archive, maintain, change, remove, or otherwise use such UGC on the Service or elsewhere, except that California minors have certain rights to have certain content about them that they have themselves posted on the Service prospectively removed from public display as provided for in our California Privacy Notice

(v)         Representations and Warranties Related to Your UGC.  Each time you submit any UGC, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside and are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any UGC you submit, and that, as to that UGC, (a) you are the sole author and owner of the Intellectual Property and other rights to the UGC, or you have a lawful right to submit the UGC and grant OhGoody the rights to it that you are granting by these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, all without any OhGoody obligation to obtain consent of any third-party and without creating any obligation or liability of OhGoody; (b) the UGC is accurate; (c) the UGC does not and, as to OhGoody’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in these Terms, will not infringe any Intellectual Property or other right of any third-party; and (d) the UGC will not violate these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or cause injury or harm to any person.

You can terminate Device location tracking via our mobile app by uninstalling the application.  Territory geo-filtering may be required in connection with use of some Service features due, for instance, to Content territory restrictions.  The location-based services offered in connection with the Services, are for individual use only and should not be used or relied on in any situation in which the failure or inaccuracy of use of the location-based services could lead directly to death, personal injury, or physical or property damage.  Use location-based services at your own risk as location data may not be accurate.

9. ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE TERMS.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND OHGOODY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

A.   Forum Selection/Jurisdiction.  Jurisdiction and venue for any controversy, allegation, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service, the Content, your UGC, these Terms, any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, or any applicable Additional Terms, (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be in Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, OH, USA. Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, OH, USA for any and all purposes.

B.   Pre-Arbitration Notification.  OhGoody and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that OhGoody need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP Disputes,” with all other disputes referred to as “General Disputes”). The party making a claim – whether you or OhGoody – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If OhGoody is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in your Service account, if applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no notification or delay obligations under this Section 9.B.  If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to: 8584 Washington St. #2058, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44023-5369, United States of America. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Section 9. Either you or OhGoody, however, may seek provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief, subject to Section 9.D) before the expiration of this sixty (60)-day period.

C.  Arbitration of Claims. You and we each agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the provisions of this Section, shall be resolved by individual binding arbitration, and not through litigation, unless the claim is properly filed in a small claims court on an individual basis. The arbitrator's authority to resolve claims and make awards is limited to claims between you and us alone. Furthermore, claims brought by you against us, or by us against you, may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. THIS MEANS THAT NEITHER OF US WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND ANY DISPUTES ARISING RELATED THERETO BETWEEN US, AND THAT ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND US. BOTH YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHT YOU AND WE MAY HAVE HAD TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ALL OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

This arbitration provision is intended to apply as broadly as possible, and to include all parties and claims that would be included in a case brought in court. Thus, this arbitration provision also requires arbitration as to any other corporate or natural persons who are parties to the claim, such as our corporate affiliates and vendors, and members of your family. This arbitration provision also applies to claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to counterclaims, cross­claims and third-party claims, and claims based upon torts, statutes, regulations, common law and equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this arbitration provision any dispute over the validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration provision shall be decided by a court, not an arbitrator and OhGoody may seek injunctive relief from a court to prevent or stop a misuse of its intellectual property or confidential information.

You or we may commence an arbitration proceeding by following the rules then in effect for either JAMS or the American Arbitration Association (AAA), as selected by the party commencing an arbitration. For a copy of the rules, to file a claim or for other information, contact either JAMS (jamsadr.com or 1-800-352- 5267) or AAA (adr.org or 1-800-778-7879). In addition to JAMS and AAA, claims may be referred to any other arbitration organization that is mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us, or to an arbitration organization or arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant to § 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act as it may be amended (FAA), provided that any such organization and arbitrator(s) will enforce the terms of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision is made concerning transactions involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the FAA. If there is a conflict between the applicable arbitration rules and these Terms, these Terms shall govern. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law, and, at the timely request of either party, shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision. The arbitration proceeding shall not be governed by any federal or state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve privacy and confidentiality.

You will be responsible for paying your share, if any, of arbitration fees, but only up to the amount of filing fees you would have paid to file a claim in the state or federal court closest to your residence. We will be responsible for any additional arbitration fees, even if we win the arbitration. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions from the parties, or in person according to the JAMS or AAA rules.  If there is an in-person arbitration hearing, it shall take place in the federal judicial district that is closest to your residence.

This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision; provided, however; that the entire arbitration provision shall be invalidated if the requirement of arbitration solely on an individual basis is deemed invalid or unenforceable. If a court decides that the entirety of this arbitration provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Program Terms shall still apply.

You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by notifying OhGoody in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. To opt-out, mail a letter that includes your name, address, and phone number, and states your decision to opt-out of the arbitration provision to: 8584 Washington St. #2058, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44023-5369, United States of America.

E.  Governing LawThese Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, General Disputes and IP Disputes, and any other claim brought by you against OhGoody or by OhGoody against you pursuant to this Section 9, or otherwise related to the Service, Content, OhGoody Licensed Elements, UGC or other OhGoody products or services, will be governed by, construed, and resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions that might apply the laws of another jurisdiction. This Section 9 shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and OhGoody agree that we intend that this Section 9 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.  This Section 9 can only be amended by mutual agreement.  Either party may seek enforcement of this Section 9 in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.

F.  Class Action WaiverAs permitted by applicable law, both you and OhGoody waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class, collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this Section 9 is found to be void or otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.

G.  Jury Waiver.  AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.

H.  Small Claims Matters.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Section 9.F.

Without limiting OhGoody’s other rights, OhGoody may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer’s access to the Service and any other website owned or operated by OhGoody.

Counter-Notification.  If access on the Service to a work that you submitted to OhGoody is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above.

(i)          a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;

(ii)        a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Service from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

If the original form of payment is not available, OhGoody credit will be issued. Beyond that period of time, you may still communicate with the Vendor for an off-site resolution.

The following is a partial list of disputes that will not qualify for OhGoody’s dispute resolution system:

  • Products that are damaged by shipping carriers (if properly packaged by the Vendor).
  • Products that have been altered, used, or discarded post receipt.
  • Products that are received after the agreed-upon delivery date due to shipping delays.
  • Products that are returned without a return agreement.
  • Products that are accurately described but fail to meet a Buyer’s expectations.
  • Cost of shipping disputes.
  • Products prohibited from sale on OhGoody, including services and intangible goods.
  • Transactions where payment is not made via OhGoody’s on-site payment system.

This fee varies by price of the Product listed and will be viewable to prospective Buyers only as the total price of the Product. If you sell from the US or Canada, the transaction fee will not apply to sales tax, Goods and Services Tax ("GST"), or Harmonized Sales Tax ("HST"), unless you have included those charges in your listing price. If you sell from anywhere other than the US and Canada, the transaction fee will apply to the listing price (which should include any applicable taxes). For more information regarding taxes, please see the section entitled “Taxes” below.

c.  Promotional Fees. OhGoody offers Vendors the capacity for limited on-site promotions and advertising for your Products. Participation in these promotions and advertising programs may be subject to additional fees. OhGoody reserves the right to change the terms of these advertising or promotional programs at any time, including addition of fees, addition or removal of promotions, or end the program (in whole or part) at any time.

When you buy a Product from a Vendor using the Services, you agree to these Buyer Terms along with the Terms.

1.  OhGoody is Merely a Venue.

OhGoody does not create or distribute any Products. OhGoody is simply the venue that allows for Buyers to purchase Products listed on the Services. When purchasing Products through the Services, you understand that:

a.  You are buying Products from one of the Vendors on OhGoody, not directly from OhGoody. No joint-venture or partnership relationship of any kind exists between OhGoody and OhGoody’s Vendors.

b.  OhGoody cannot guarantee or endorse any content or items sold by Vendors on the Site. While certain Products may be featured, this does not reflect any endorsement of the Product by OhGoody.

c.  Each Vendor has their own processing times, shipping methods and Vendor specific policies (“Store Policies”).

2.  Purchasing Products.

Each of the Vendors on the Site has unique Store Policies. By purchasing a Product from a Vendor through the Services, you agree that you have:

a.  Read any relevant Product description and the Store Policies prior to making the purchase.

b.  Submitted appropriate and full payment for the Product(s) purchased.

c.  Provided accurate and truthful shipping information to the Vendor you are purchasing from.

3.  Reporting.

You have the ability to flag a Product or Vendor profile in violation of OhGoody’s Policies, flagging is confidential and will be reviewed by OhGoody’s support staff at OhGoody’s sole discretion. OhGoody is not obliged to act on flagged products or Vendors.

4.  Reviews.

OhGoody allows Buyers to leave reviews about Products they have purchased. In order to leave reviews about a Product on the Site, users must have an Account and have purchased the Product within the past one hundred (100) days. Should you choose to leave a review for a Product, you acknowledge that are solely responsible for the content of your review, which is considered your UGC under the Terms. By leaving a review, you acknowledge that your review may not contain:

  1. Any personal or private information.
  2. Any language or imagery which is obscene, threatening, racist, or harassing or otherwise violates the Terms; including our Community Guidelines.
  3. Prohibited health claims, including any claims that a Product is intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate or treat a disease or medical condition;
  4. Advertising or spam.
  5. Any shilling or otherwise false inflation or deflation of a Vendor’s review score.
  6. Things beyond the Vendor’s control (e.g. shipping delays by a carrier or payment processor issues).

OhGoody is committed to maintain the integrity of OhGoody’s reviews system and reserves the right to remove any reviews in violation of these Buyer Terms or our Terms, or any of its Policies.

5.  Cancellations. Only Vendors can cancel a transaction. You may request that a Vendor cancel an order via the communication tools available on the Site.

6.  Returns. Each Vendor has their own return policies, which will be outlined in their Store Policies. Not all Vendors accept returns. If you reside in the European Union, you may be entitled to a fourteen (14) day “right of withdrawal”, during which you may return a Product for any reason.

Community Guidelines

These Guidelines are part of our Terms of Use. By using the Service, you agree to these Guidelines and our Terms of Use. At minimum, your participation in the Communities is subject to all of the Terms, including these Guidelines:

Your UGC.  All of your UGC either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with the Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Your UGC should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties unless you have obtained permission from that party. Do not use any UGC that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet. If anyone contributes to your UGC or has any rights to your UGC, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the UGC, then you must also have their permission to submit such UGC to OhGoody. (For example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to OhGoody as your UGC, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so.)

Act Appropriately.  All of your Service activities must be venue appropriate, as determined by us. Be respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can continue to build Communities for everyone to enjoy. If you think your UGC might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will and it doesn’t belong on the Service. Cursing, harassing, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited. Your UGC must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or handicap. Your UGC must not be defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit. Your UGC must not exploit children under the age of 18.

Do Not Use to Solicit or Send Unwanted Communications.  Do not harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of others from the Service by electronic or other means for the purposes of sending unsolicited emails or other unsolicited communications. Do not solicit personal information from anyone or solicit passwords or personally identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes. This also includes not uploading, posting, transmitting, sharing or otherwise making available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation.

Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes.  Your UGC must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.

Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your UGC.  Do not impersonate any other person, user, or company, and do not submit UGC that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company.

Others Can See.  We hope that you will use the Communities to exchange information and content and have venue appropriate discussions with other members. However, please remember that the Communities are public or semi-public and UGC that you submit on the Service within a Community may be accessible and viewable by other users. Do not submit personally identifying information (e.g., first and last name together, password, phone number, address, credit card number, medical information, email address, or other personally identifiable information or contact information) on Community spaces and take care when otherwise disclosing this type of information to others.

Don't Share Other People's Personal Information.  Your UGC should not reveal another person’s address, phone number, email address, social security number, credit card number, medical information, financial information, or any other information that may be used to track, contact, or impersonate that individual, unless, and in the form and by the method, specifically requested by OhGoody (e.g., an email address to send an email invite to a friend).

Don't Damage the Service or Anyone's Computers or Other Devices.  Your UGC must not submit viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, or any other technologies or malicious code that could impact the operation of the Service or any computer or other Device.

If you submit UGC that we reasonably believe violates these Guidelines, then we may take any legally available action that we deem appropriate, in our sole discretion. However, we are not obligated to take any action not required by applicable law. We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a form acceptable to us. Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, the UGC in question being removed from the Service and/or termination or suspension of your Account.
