The rules of the marketplace.

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between DEADSTOCKED, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Chandler, Arizona ("DEADSTOCKED", "we", "us", or "our"), and every individual or business that accesses, browses, creates an account on, or transacts through the DEADSTOCKED marketplace, websites, mobile experiences, APIs, or related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By creating an account, listing inventory, placing bids, making purchases, or otherwise using any portion of the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue all use of the Platform. Supplemental policies (including our forthcoming Privacy Policy) are incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will provide notice of material changes via email and/or in-Platform banners. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

The Platform is intended for sneaker enthusiasts and verified storefront sellers. Individuals under the age of 16 may browse only with a parent or guardian present. Individuals aged 16 or 17 may create customer accounts and use general Platform features, but cannot complete purchases. Only individuals 18 years of age or older may submit bids, complete checkout, or enter binding purchase transactions.

The Platform may be viewed worldwide; however, listings, bids, purchases, and fulfillment currently operate only within the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia, and products may only be shipped to delivery addresses located within that territory.

By using the Platform you represent that you meet the applicable age requirements, that any information you submit is truthful and complete, and that your use complies with all applicable laws. We reserve the right to refuse access or service where legally prohibited.

Creating a customer account requires your first and last name, a valid email address, and a mobile phone number capable of receiving verification messages. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of this information and for safeguarding your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Seller accounts are available only to U.S. businesses that operate a physical retail location. To qualify, a seller must provide a valid Employer Identification Number (EIN), documentation that verifies the storefront, and any additional information we reasonably request. DEADSTOCKED verifies EIN information with applicable state or federal resources. We may approve or reject any application at our sole discretion.

Accounts are personal to the registrant. You may not create multiple accounts, impersonate another person or business, or allow others to access your account. We may suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms.

Only verified storefront sellers may list products. Listings are limited to new, unworn, deadstock sneakers. DEADSTOCKED curates product catalog data; sellers provide size availability, pricing, condition confirmations, and imagery as requested. Uploads are monitored by our machine-learning tools and may be reviewed manually.

By listing inventory, sellers certify that: (a) every item is authentic and in deadstock condition; (b) they possess the right to sell the item; (c) all images and descriptions are accurate; and (d) they comply with all applicable laws. Sellers must update listings promptly if availability or pricing changes. DEADSTOCKED may remove or adjust listings that violate policy or appear inaccurate.

• Sellers must ship accepted orders within two (2) calendar days of sale confirmation.
• Failure to ship within two days may result in fees; failure to ship within three (3) days results in automatic order cancellation and potential account action.
• Sellers agree that DEADSTOCKED may terminate selling privileges and pursue legal remedies if counterfeit, damaged or unauthorized goods are supplied.
• Failure to obide by the shipment guidelines and parameters.

Sellers are to follow the following rules(not limited to), below. Failure to do so may result in the pause or termination of their account.

• Up to date account information including but not limited to: Address, Company Name, Business Identification, First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Email Address.
• Failure to keep a sufficient amount of authentication tags
• Failure to maintain activity. Sellers need to be actively listing inventory and fulfilling orders.
• Failure to obide by any changes enforced by DEADSTOCKED.

Customers may either submit a Buy Now order at the listed price or place a bid through the Platform. Bids remain open until the customer removes them through the My Account > My Bids dashboard or until a seller accepts the bid. Customers may cancel an open bid at any time before it is accepted by selecting "Remove Bid."

Buy Now orders may be canceled by the customer within three (3) hours of submission or until the seller accepts the order, whichever occurs first. Customers can navigate to My Account > My Bids, locate the order, and choose "Cancel Order" to exercise this limited cancellation right. After the 3-hour timeframe expires or a seller accepts the order, the transaction becomes final and the order proceeds to fulfillment.

The 3-hour cancellation window does not apply to placed bids. Once a seller accepts a bid, the transaction is binding and cannot be canceled by the customer, even if the order has not yet shipped. All sales are final unless DEADSTOCKED determines, after investigation, that the item was counterfeit, not as described, or materially damaged. In such instances we will facilitate a return or refund as described below.

DEADSTOCKED uses third-party payment processors, currently including Stripe and PayPal. We do not store payment card or banking credentials on our servers. By submitting payment information you authorize the applicable processor to store and process your data in accordance with its terms and privacy policy.

When you place an order request, your chosen payment method may be authorized but is not charged until the seller marks the order as shipped. At that time, the full purchase price, shipping charges, applicable processing fees, and sales tax (based on your billing address) are captured.

All fees are non-refundable except where DEADSTOCKED approves a refund because an item was determined to be counterfeit or damaged during our review. Sellers may be responsible for any chargebacks attributable to their conduct, and agree that we may deduct amounts owed from future payouts or require reimbursement.

Sellers payout timeframes may be variable based on third-party payment processors or potential card conflicts determined by the third-party payment processor.

Sellers can expect a payout within five (5) business days of order completion. Payout timeframes may extend between 6-14 business days.

DEADSTOCKED provides prepaid shipping labels through third-party logistics partners. Sellers must use the supplied label unless otherwise authorized in writing. Each seller is responsible for packaging inventory securely and adhering to carrier rules. Sellers are solely responsible for inspection, authentication, and hand-off of merchandise to the carrier.

Risk of loss transfers to the customer once the carrier receives the package. DEADSTOCKED does not provide shipping insurance. If a shipment is lost or damaged in transit, we will support reasonable efforts to locate the package, but liability ultimately rests with the parties to the shipment and/or the carrier consistent with applicable law and carrier policies.

All products on the Platform must be deadstock (new, unworn) and authentic. Verified storefront sellers are expected to authenticate inventory prior to shipment. DEADSTOCKED may audit or inspect transactions at any time.

If a customer believes an item is counterfeit, damaged, or not as described, they must notify DEADSTOCKED promptly with supporting evidence. We may require photos, unboxing documentation, or return of the item for inspection. If we verify the claim, we will issue a refund of the full purchase price, including shipping, taxes, and fees. Sellers are responsible for any associated costs and may have their account suspended or terminated. Supplying counterfeit goods may result in legal action.

If an investigation has been opened. The customer will recieve an email associated with their account. A link provided in the email will navigate the customer to a payment portal. To continue the investigation and receive a shipping label, the customer will be prompted to pay a $14 verification/shipping fee. The customer is not charged at the time of payment submission. The amount of $14 is held through our third-party payment processor. Once the DEADSTOCKED team has received the product at their facility, an authenticator will review the claims made by the customer. If the claims are validated to be true by our authenticator, the customer will receive a full refund. If the claims made by the customer are deemed invalid by our authenticator. Only then will the $14 be charged to the customers card for the fees associated to shipping and the service of claim verification. If the claims are determined invalid by our authenticator, then the product will be shipped back to the customers address, associated with their account. If the claims made by the customer are valid, the order will be shipped back to the seller.
