1. Parties

1.1 Turtles Egg Inc. and its corporate affiliates: (i) operate online marketplaces, including Turtlesegg.com ("Marketplace Apps") that may be available as native apps for operating systems like Android or iOS, or on standard or mobile web; (ii) develop and provide other services and products. In this policy we refer to Turtles Egg and its corporate affiliates as "Turtles Egg" or "we" or "us." We refer to end users as "you" and the entities that list and sell products and services as "Merchant(s), Sellers, Vendors, Partners."

1.2 Your location determines the Turtles Egg entity with whom you have a contract:

  • If your habitual residence is in the USA, Canada, EU, UK, India or any other country, you contract with Turtles Egg Inc., a FL. USA company and the applicable terms as stated here.  

The Turtles Egg entity you contract with may change as we expand our business.

 

1.3 The Marketplace Apps allow sellers ("Merchants") to set up stores that list and sell products and services (“Products”) to end users. When you purchase a Product, the contract for sale is solely between you and the Merchant. That means that when you purchase a Product on Turtles Egg or another Marketplace App, your transaction is with the Merchant who listed the Product and the Merchant is responsible for fulfilling your order. Turtles Egg provides the technology platform for the Marketplace Apps and acts as a payment collection agent for the Merchant solely for the limited purpose of accepting funds from you, on behalf of the Merchant, upon your purchase of a Product from the Merchant via a Marketplace App.

1.4 Some Products may be available for pickup or receipt at a physical location near you. See the Pick Up Policy for additional details and restrictions.

 

2. Services

2.1 Turtles Egg operates marketplaces that allow Merchants and users to share information and complete purchases. Merchants are responsible for their stores, their Products, their Product listings (including any original or strike-through prices), and fulfillment of your order. Merchants may be located in your country or region or elsewhere. If they are located elsewhere, this may have an effect on taxes, customs or the applicability of consumer protection rules.

2.2 Although we are not a party to the contract formed between you and a Merchant when you purchase Products sold by Merchants, we may, in relation to providing our Services or in relation to our role as a limited payment collection agent for Merchant, assist with payment processing, returns, refunds, and other customer service. Turtles Egg does not guarantee: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of Merchant Products or Product listings; (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Product listings, descriptions, or other content provided by Merchants; (iii) the truth or accuracy of ratings, reviews, or other User Submissions; or (iv) the performance or conduct of Merchants or other third parties. Except where we clearly indicate otherwise, Turtles Egg does not endorse any Merchant, store, Product, or Product listing. Please read all labels, warnings, and directions provided with a purchased Product before using or receiving it, and consider doing your own research prior to making a purchase.

2.3 You acknowledge and agree that Turtles Egg acts as the Merchant’s payment collection agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Merchant. Upon your payment of funds to us, your payment obligation to the Merchant for the agreed-upon amount is extinguished, and Turtles Egg is responsible for remitting the funds to the Merchant in the manner described in the Merchant Terms of Service and Agreement,  which constitutes Turtles Egg’s agreement with the Merchant. In the event that Turtles Egg does not remit any such amounts, the Merchant will have recourse only against Turtles Egg and not you directly.

2.4 Please check all details, delivery time and any restrictions regarding each Product thoroughly before you place your order with a Merchant. With regard to any requests for services, please note that it is solely your responsibility (or the responsibility of the person receiving the services) to inform the Merchant of any medical or health conditions and/or special needs that may affect or be affected by the services (including, but not limited to, information regarding allergies and health problems).

You understand that by this Arbitration Agreement, you are giving up the right to a jury trial. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you in a court.

24.2.2 Unless you and Turtles Egg agree otherwise, if the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards apply (the “Consumer Minimum Standards”), the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and a hearing shall be held near or in Collier County, FL. For residents outside the United States and/or where the Consumer Minimum Standards do not apply, arbitration shall be initiated in Collier County, Florida.

24.2.4 If your or Turtles Egg’s claim is solely for monetary relief of US $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.

24.2.5 Unless you and Turtles Egg agree otherwise:

  • Disputes involving claims and counterclaims where the combined monetary demand and value of the relief sought is less than US $500,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be decided by a single arbitrator, subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures;

You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless Turtles Egg is specifically required to pay such fees under the JAMS Rules or applicable law.

24.2.7 If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum based in Collier County, Florida. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules (or the rules of the alternative arbitral forum selected by the parties) and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement will govern.

24.2.8 You or Turtles Egg may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where: (a) jurisdiction and venue over you and Turtles Egg otherwise qualifies for such small claims court; (b) such claim advances only on an individual (e.g. non-class, non-representative) basis; and (c) where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to provide Turtles Egg with advance notice by email to [email protected] and by mail to Turtles Egg, 4280 Mourning Dove Drive, Naples, FL 34119

24.2.9 These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Turtles Egg on your behalf.

24.3 WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS.

24.3.1 Turtles Egg and you agree to resolve any dispute in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Turtles Egg and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party.

24.3.2 The arbitrator(s) cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise).

24.3.3 This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Turtles Egg, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Turtles Egg, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims is a dispute.

24.3.4 This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.

24.4 Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator(s), and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator(s) will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Turtles Egg. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and these Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator(s) shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator(s) shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator(s) has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator(s) is final and binding upon you and us, subject to the JAMS or Other Mediator’s Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures if applicable.

24.5 Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND TURTLES EGG HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Turtles Egg are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in above. An arbitrator can award on your individual claims the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

24.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out. Your notice must be sent via email to [email protected] and to: Turtles Egg, Attn: Legal Department, RE: Opt-out Notice, 4280 Mourning Dove Drive, Naples, FL 34119, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

24.7 Parents, Subsidiaries, Affiliates

This Arbitration Agreement will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Turtles Egg, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Turtles Egg, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Services, any person's access to and/or use of the Services, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Services.

24.9 Severability
