By submitting or uploading your User Submissions, you accept sole liability and responsibility for any of your User Submissions that do not comply with these Terms and/or any applicable laws. Your User Submissions violate these Terms and are prohibited from the Site if they:

  • are harassing, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, untruthful, misleading, or invasive of privacy or publicity rights;

In addition, we have the right in our sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever to edit, refuse to post, refuse to store, remove, or disable access to any User Submissions, including without limitation any User Submissions that constitute, or are likely to constitute, an infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party.

To set up an Account, you may be asked to provide certain information about yourself, such as your first and last name, physical address, email address, phone number, and payment card and billing information.

  1.  TERMS OF SALE

9.1  If the Site enables you to purchase or place orders for Offerings via the Site, the terms of this Section 9 shall apply to any such purchase, transfer of funds, donation, contribution, or order (each, a “Transaction“). To initiate and complete a Transaction, you may be required to register an Account and/or provide certain information about yourself, including your first and last name, email address, phone number, shipping and billing address, and credit card or other payment information. You must provide current, complete, and accurate contact and payment information for all Transactions made through the Site.

9.2  By initiating or completing a Transaction using the Site, you make a binding offer for a contract of sale with the us or our business partner(s). For the avoidance of doubt, each Transaction will be between you and our business partner (and not 1UPC). The business partner is the seller and provider of all Transactions and will be solely responsible to you for fulfilling the terms of each Transaction. Your order is not complete until the business partner sends you an email to confirm the Transaction. The business partner reserves the right, without prior notice, to reject your offer, to refuse to conclude a Transaction with you or any user, and/or to limit the order quantity on any business partner Offering. Neither 1UPC nor the business partner guarantees the continued availability of any business partner Offerings found on the Site. The business partner may also require verification of information prior to the confirmation or acceptance of any Transaction.

9.3  You agree to pay the full amount of the fees charged to you under each Transaction. You may choose to pay for purchases made through the Site by credit card or any other payment method that may be supported by the Site from time to time. By placing an order on the Site, you expressly authorize the business partner, or a third-party payment processor on its behalf, to charge the method of payment that you have provided and to collect the full amount of the total fees for the business partner Offerings you purchase, including any applicable taxes and shipping or related charges. The business partner may calculate taxes payable by you (if any) based on the billing information that you have provided at the time of purchase. All purchases are non-refundable and non-cancellable unless the Merchant’s return and exchange policy expressly indicates otherwise.

9.4  The processing of your payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the business partner’s third-party payment processor. You agree that neither 1UPC nor the business partner will be responsible for any failures of the third-party payment processor to adequately protect your payment information. You acknowledge that the business partner may change the third-party payment processor at any time, with or without notice to you, and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security.

9.5  If applicable, shipping and tracking options for delivery of the purchased business partner Offerings will be indicated at checkout. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, you are responsible for shipping charges, which will be displayed at checkout and may depend on variables such as order value and shipping destinations. When business partner Offerings are delivered to the shipping address provided at checkout, risk of loss and legal title to those business partner Offerings will transfer to the recipient.

9.6  The business partner may accept returns or exchanges of certain business partner Offerings purchased on the Site in accordance with the business partner’s return and exchange policy. To arrange a return or exchange (if permitted), please contact the business partner directly using the contact information provided on the Site. Proof of purchase is necessary.

9.7  You understand and agree that the business partner, and not 1UPC, is solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness, reliability, and legality of all business partner Offering descriptions, information, and pricing described or depicted on the Site. All business partner Offering descriptions, information, and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice. While we and the business partner will strive to ensure that all descriptions, information, and pricing on the Site are complete, accurate, and current, they may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Neither 1UPC nor the business partner makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any descriptions, information, or pricing on the Site. For example, business partner Offerings included on the Site may be unavailable or may actually carry a different price than that stated on the Site. The inclusion of any business partner Offerings on the Site at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these business partner Offerings will be available at any time.

  1.  TERMINATION OF ACCESS

10.1  We may, in our sole discretion, without liability, and without notice to you, immediately suspend, limit, and/or terminate your access to the Site, the Services, and/or your Account for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) if we believe in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms or any applicable laws or regulations; (ii) at the request of law enforcement, government agencies, or courts; (iii) if you ask us to close your Account; (iv) if we discontinue or materially modify the Site or the Services (or any part thereof); or (v) if we believe in our sole discretion that your use or access to the Site, the Services, or your Account may create risk (including, but not limited to, legal risk) for us, the business partner, our respective affiliates or contractual partners, or other users. Upon any termination, you will lose the right to access and use the Site and Services and your Account will be closed.

10.2  Any suspension or termination shall not affect your obligations to us and the business partner under these Terms. The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive the suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Site, Services, and/or your Account, shall survive including, but not limited to, the “Content and Intellectual Property”, “User Submissions”, “Terms of Sale”, “Indemnification and Release”, “Disclaimers”, “Limitation of Liability”, “Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Agreement”, and “Miscellaneous” sections of these Terms.

  1.  TESTIMONIALSThe Site may contain Content and marketing information that is intended to cast us or the business partner in the best possible light. Such Content has not been verified by 1UPC and may have been written by other users and members of the general public whose identity has not been verified or confirmed by 1UPC. We undertake no obligation to review, screen, investigate, or verify any such Content. Testimonials, reviews, and endorsements appearing on the Site are presented with the objective of presenting only positive recommendations and reviews from highly satisfied consumers and may not be representative of prevailing user/consumer sentiment or suitable for your use. Negative review content is not generally posted but is often delivered directly to the business partner so that the Merchant is made aware of constructive or negative feedback and reviews. All content should be considered unverified and may be biased or untrue.

    12. BUSINESS PARTNER OFFERINGS AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

    You acknowledge and agree that the business partner is the seller and provider of all business partner Offerings and is solely responsible to you for the care and quality of the business partner Offerings and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities, and costs it may cause you to suffer, whether directly or indirectly. We have no control over and do not endorse the business partner or any business partner Offerings, and in no event shall we be responsible or liable for any conduct of or interactions you may have with the business partner (whether or not related to the Site or Services) or for your use of any business partner Offerings.

    In addition, the Site and Services may be made available or accessed in connection with third-party services and content that we do not control. We will not be responsible or liable for your use of any such third-party services or content or for the conduct of, or interactions you may have with, any third-party provider of the same. You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of third-party services and content.

    13. SECURITY AND NETWORK ACCESS

    1UPC takes such commercially reasonable measures as it deems appropriate to secure and protect information transmitted to and from the Site. Nevertheless, we cannot and do not guarantee that any such transmissions are or will be totally secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any information about you, including, without limitation, any username and password used in connection with your use of the Site. You agree to notify us immediately if you discover loss of or access to such information by another party not under your control or supervision.

    You are responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware, software, or devices necessary to access and use the Site and Services and any updates thereto. We do not guarantee that the Site or Services, or any portion thereof, will function on or with any particular hardware, software, or device. The Site and Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.

  1.  ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENTPLEASE READ THIS SECTION 17 CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

17.1  You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use of the Site or Services (collectively, “Disputes“) will be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration between you and 1UPC, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and 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, or where a party’s conduct may cause the other irreparable injury. The provisions of this Section 17 constitute the parties’ written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act.

17.2  The arbitration shall be administered by an arbitrator of our choosing and shall be heard by a single arbitrator, pursuant to the Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, except as modified by this Section 17.

17.3  To begin an arbitration proceeding, a party must submit the Dispute by making a demand for arbitration, and simultaneously send a copy of the completed demand to the other party. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Iowa rules of arbitration.  1UPC reserves he right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration.  The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions, unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. If the arbitrator grants the request or determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will proceed in Polk County, Iowa, unless the arbitrator determines or 1UPC agrees that the matter should proceed in the county where you reside.

17.4  The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award within the time frame specified in the Iowa rules of arbitration. The parties agree that the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties and 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 with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. You and 1UPC also agree that the arbitrator may not award multiple or punitive damages. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

17.5  EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL BRING ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE PROVISIONS.

  1.  MISCELLANEOUS

18.3  These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa without regard to its conflict of laws rules that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Iowa. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court, you and 1UPC: (i) agree that any such Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court located in Polk County, Iowa and waive any defenses or objections based on the jurisdiction, venue, or convenience of this exclusive venue; (ii) irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes; and (iii) AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

18.5  Our waiver of any breach of these Terms will not be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach thereof.

18.6  If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will be replaced by such valid and enforceable provision as comes closest to the intention underlying the invalid, illegal, or enforceable provision.

18.7  Possible evidence of use of the Site or Services for illegal purposes will be provided to law enforcement authorities.

18.8  Discontinuation of use of the Site and Services is your sole right and remedy for any dissatisfaction with the Site, Services, or any of the Content.
