If a Retailer marks any items as damaged, missing, or defective, those items will be deducted from the order payout (and no commission will be charged on them). If a replacement is sent for any damaged, missing, or defective item, Hippy Market will pay you the invoiced cost of the replacement.
Payout Schedule and Payment Processing Fee.
Payout Options. Brands may choose from various payout options for orders placed through the Services: a 60-day payout, a 30-day payout, or a next-day payout. You may update your payout option at any time in your Brand Account settings. Changes apply to pending and future orders per current Hippy Market policies.

NEITHER HIPPY MARKET NOR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SITE, SERVICES, APPLICATION OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE BRAND TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT HIPPY MARKET HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT WILL HIPPY MARKET’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE BRAND TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR COLLECTIVE CONTENT EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS MADE TO YOU BY HIPPY MARKET, PURSUANT TO THESE BRAND TERMS, IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURANCE OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN HIPPY MARKET AND YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION – ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
You and Hippy Market agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Brand Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights; (c) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state or local agency if that action is available; and (d) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HIPPY MARKET ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Hippy Market otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Brand Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an experienced (15+ years practicing) attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Delaware.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Hippy Market otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in New Castle County, Delaware. If your claim does not exceed US$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Hippy Market submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent, to the extent permitted by law, with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section of these Brand Terms, as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If applicable arbitration rules or laws require us to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Dispute Resolution provision to be enforceable, then we will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Hippy Market changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Brand Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Brand Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by contacting us) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of Hippy Market’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Hippy Market in accordance with the arbitration provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section (however entitled) as of the date you first accepted these Brand Terms or accepted any subsequent changes to these Brand Terms.
22. Entire Agreement
These Brand Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Hippy Market and you regarding the Services and Collective Content, and these Brand Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Hippy Market and you regarding the Services and Collective Content.
23. Severability, Waiver, Survival
The failure by Hippy Market to enforce any right or provision of these Brand Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Hippy Market. Except as expressly set forth in these Brand Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Brand Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Brand Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Brand Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Brand Terms will remain in full force and effect. Throughout these Brand Terms, the word “include” or “including” means “including, but not limited to.” Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of these Brand Terms or your use of the Services will survive.
24. No Joint Venture
The relationship between the parties hereto is not construed to be a partnership, joint venture, employment, master-servant, principal-agent, or other relationship for any purpose whatsoever. Except as expressly provided in these Brand Terms, neither party may be held accountable for the acts or omission or failure to act of the other party, and neither party is authorized to obligate or bind the other party by contract, warranty, representation, or otherwise in any manner whatsoever.
