Payments. ZapExchange utilizes GreenZap as its exclusive online payment processor. When selling an item on ZapExchange, the buyer may authorize payment to you through the buyer's GreenZap account. Though payment may be authorized by a buyer through a buyer's GreenZap Account, GreenZap is not the purchaser of the item and any dispute with the buyer must be resolved by you directly with the buyer. When a buyer places an order with you through the ZapExchange, GreenZap will authorize the applicable bank account or credit card for the entire purchase amount. GreenZap shall have no obligation to make any Payment to seller with respect to any purchase made by a buyer, unless and until GreenZap actually receives payment from such buyer. Payments received from buyer will be deposited into your GreenZap user account. GreenZap may set transaction limits on any seller and will not be liable to seller for blocking or otherwise refusing to proceed with any transaction. GreenZap also reserves the right to withhold the payment of funds to you or to return funds to the buyer if we are currently investigating any claim or any suspected or alleged wrongful conduct by you or any violation of the User Agreement, and you agree that GreenZap will not be liable to you for any such amounts. Upon any termination or suspension of your account, GreenZap may hold all Seller Payments for 180 days to allow for outstanding transactions to clear and for the settlement of all amounts owed to GreenZap.
Dispute Resolution Steps and Refunds. When necessary, ZapExchange will provide your email address and other contact information to buyers who have purchased a product or service from you. You agree to respond promptly to inquiries by buyers. You will provide an immediate order cancellation notice to GreenZap and buyers if you are unable to ship the product immediately upon order placement. You agree that you will provide a prompt refund to a buyer if the buyer did not receive the product you shipped, if the product grossly does not match the description as listed, or if the buyer receives a product other than the one they ordered. GreenZap will not mediate disputes or contact buyers on your behalf. If the buyer submits a claim to GreenZap concerning a product or an order from you, GreenZap may research the claim and may contact you concerning the claim. You agree to respond promptly to any inquiry by GreenZap. GreenZap's decision concerning the claim is final and binding and you agree to abide by such decisions. In the event GreenZap provides any amount to a buyer in connection with a buyer's claim, or the buyer seeks a chargeback with the buyer's credit card company, you agree to promptly reimburse GreenZap for the amount of the transaction and any associated fees and charges. GreenZap may immediately offset any such amount from any other amount to be paid to you in accordance with this Agreement, may charge your credit card on file, and/or may collect such funds in any other lawful manner. Without limiting any of its rights to remedies, if GreenZap determines that you have directly or indirectly attempted or committed fraud activity with respect to, GreenZap's User. At such time, GreenZap may immediately suspend or terminate your account.
Buyer Beware. The ZapExchange Service is simply a platform for posters, buyers and sellers to interact. When interacting with third parties found in connection with ZapExchange, please make educated choices and proceed with caution. A “Verified” GreenZap user does not guarantee an individual's actions will be honest and forthcoming. If you are in doubt, email our customer service and wait for a response before taking action. ZapExchange is NOT an agent for the posters, sellers or buyers and has no authority over such parties. ZapExchange has no control over whether sellers will deliver products or services as promised, and equally has no control over whether buyers will make good on funds due. Again, email customer service at support@zapexchange.com when in doubt.
Account Termination. You agree that ZapExchange and GreenZap, in its sole discretion, have the right to delete or deactivate your account, block your email or IP address, or otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service (or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, if ZapExchange believes that you have violated this Agreement. Further, you agree that ZapExchange shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.
