User Agreement/Terms
Your Seller User Agreement/Terms
Welcome to the Seller User Agreement for SocialSale. This agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services available under the domain of OnPagePromotions.com for the SocialSale tool and the general principles for the Web site as it applies to your eBay sales. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement, please do not use or access our services.
If you have any questions, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions or send an email to CustomerService@OnPagePromotions.com.
You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Seller User Agreement/Terms and the Seller Privacy Policy, which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference, before you may become a user of SocialSale.
This agreement is effective on May 1, 2011.
1. Membership eligibility
Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law.

3. Your Obligations to use SocialSale.
3.1 Your Obligations to Allow Us to Facilitate Your SocialSale program:
By extending a SocialSale reward offer to your buyers, you are promising your buyers you will issue a cash-back reward if they meet the criteria outlined in your SocialSale offer, specifically:
a) Agreeing to update a buyer’s FaceBook page with your listing information in return for
b) A cash-back reward to buyers who have both updated a posting to their FaceBook page and purchased the item from you.
During registration, and any time thereafter, you may change the percentage rewards offered for your SocialSale offer. The percentage reward rebate is calculated on the total payment made to you by your buyer in any transaction. The form of the SocialSale offer may be changed by us at any time and versions of the offer are anticipated.
You must also agree to provide SocialSale appropriate API permission to access your PayPal account to issue rewards from your PayPal account. If you are an eBay seller using our service, you also agree to grant your Authentication and Authorization for our service to access your account information on the eBay system.
If you stop using our service, your obligation to your buyers qualifying for any rewards remain and you will be responsible for fulfilling the reward.
3.2 SocialSale is not an auctioneer, nor is it an online seller.
We do not fund rewards to buyers. Instead, our site acts as a customer rewards facilitator to allow a seller (you) to offer, administer and track cash back rewards for buyers who meet certain qualifications defined by the seller. Sellers can offer rewards to their buyers using our service on just about anything, at any time, sold via a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as “online auctions” as long as buyer payment for the item is completed. Sellers have legal responsibility for funding and fulfilling any reward offered. We cannot ensure that a seller will actually complete a reward transaction.
3.3 Because we are a facilitation service, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more buyers or sellers, you release SocialSale (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
4. Legal Obligations for Offering Buyer Rewards
When you promote a buyer reward using SocialSale, you are legally obligated to fulfill your offer for the buyer reward if the buyer satisfies the active offer criteria you established for your reward. You agree to promote your offer of a buyer reward for completing a sale before a sale occurs. We cannot facilitate any other reward offers you make outside of our service. At any time, you may change reward offers or reward offer criteria using our site. Once you make a reward offer to your buyer, you must honor that offer until it expires. You must also maintain a balance in your PayPal account to provide for any qualifying rewards.
5. Qualifying Buyer Reward
Our service will automatically qualify when your buyer earns a reward by applying the then-active reward criteria for that buyer as set by you in the offer. We apply the reward criteria to your buyer payment for eBay sales. We will calculate the appropriate buyer reward and it will issue directly from within your PayPal account as agreed by you during registration. Rewards will be issued only AFTER payment was made to you by your buyer.
6. Breach
Without limiting other remedies, we may require you to cease any additional postings of the SocialSale Message on any future listings you make. We may also require you to immediately remove our Message from your current listings and/or temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you, if:
1. you breach this Agreement or the documents it incorporates by reference;
2. we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us; or
3. we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, buyers or us.
7. Privacy
