All rights not explicitly granted herein are reserved.

2. Content and Communications

2.1 Retailer Content

The Platform contains or will direct you to content that has been provided by third parties, including retailers, and over which we have no control, including information relating to sales, offers, coupons, giveaways, advertisements, promotions, pricing and product depictions and descriptions. Our retail partners have sole responsibility for these matters. The Platform enables our retail partners to sell their product to you, and once an order is placed, to ship their product directly to you. Within the Platform, retailers have sole responsibility for the depiction and content of the products offered on the product pages. Products purchased from retail partners can only be returned to the retail partner. The use, posting, distribution or publication of content on the Platform does not constitute or imply an endorsement, recommendation, advice, opinion or comment by us, nor is it an assurance of legality, quality or safety by us. By making a purchase on the Platform, you acknowledge that orders are sold by and will be fulfilled by our retailers and not by Shop PO.

Without limiting the generality of Section 9 of this Agreement, we have no responsibility for, and make no representations or warranties regarding, the accuracy, completeness or reliability of, product descriptions displayed anywhere on the Platform (including the price, availability, actual size, quality, color, texture, care instructions or results of use of such products), or the terms of any third party offer, sale, purchase or other transaction. The Platform will display suggested retail prices for products offered on or through the Platform based on pricing information provided by vendors, retailers and manufacturers and we make no promises about the reliability or accuracy of any such information listed on the Platform. We and the retailers will use reasonable efforts to correct errors as soon as practicable. We and the retailers reserve the right to: (i) revoke any stated offer; (ii) correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omission; and (iii) make changes to prices, content, promotion offers, product descriptions or specifications, or other information without obligation to issue any notice of such changes (including after an order has been submitted, acknowledged, shipped, or received, except as prohibited by law). We cannot confirm the price of an item until you submit an order. If the correct price of a product is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel our order and notify you of such cancellation.

We also reserve the right to limit quantities (including after an order has been submitted and/or acknowledged) and to revise, suspend, or terminate a promotion, special, or sale at any time without notice (including after an order has been submitted and/or acknowledged).

The offer of any products, services and/or experiences at a particular time does not guarantee that the products, services and/or experiences will be available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if a product, service and/or experience offered and sold on the Platform by the retailer is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it to the retailer subject to the terms set forth herein.

 Any products purchased by you are purchased directly from the applicable third party retailer and the third party retailer is solely responsible to you for every aspect of such purchase. When you are directed to a retailer’s website to purchase products, each such retailer’s shipping information, return policy, customer service information, and privacy policy can be found on that retailer’s website.  When you purchase directly through Shop PO, the shipping information, return policy, customer service information and privacy policy applicable to your purchase are available on the Platform; however, Shop PO provides your order and other personal information to the retailer fulfilling your order or as otherwise detailed in the Shop PO Privacy Policy, and such retailer’s use of that information will then be governed by the privacy policy found on the retailer website.  You agree that Shop PO will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions, including failure on the part of any third party to deliver the goods that you order in a satisfactory manner, nor for any products or services purchased from retailers via the Platform. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

2.2 User Content

"User Content" means any and all information, content, feedback, reviews or other materials that a user posts, submits, displays, uploads, publishes or transmits (hereinafter “post”) to us and other users or other persons on or through the Platform, including via message boards, personal profiles, forums, bulletin boards, and other interactive features. You understand and acknowledge that all User Content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You further understand and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for all User Content that you post and that you, not Shop PO, assume full responsibility for all risks associated with any User Content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy and appropriateness. We are not responsible or liable to any third party for any User Content posted by you or any other user, including any reliance on its accuracy or completeness. We are not obligated to backup any User Content and User Content may be deleted at any time. Subject to applicable law, you hereby grant to Shop PO, and our affiliates, licensees, successors and assigns, an irrevocable, non-terminable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide license to use, reproduce, adapt, abridge, distribute, publicly display, modify, perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, exploit and otherwise disclose to third parties your User Content for any purpose and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. You represent and warrant that:  (i) you will not provide any User Content to which you do not have the full right to grant the license specified in this Section 2.2; and (ii) all of your User Content will comply with this Agreement.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL ANY DISCLOSURE OF ANY USER CONTENT TO SHOP PO BE SUBJECT TO ANY OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR EXPECTATION OF COMPENSATION OR ATTRIBUTION. BY SUBMITTING ANY USER CONTENT TO OR THROUGH SHOP PO, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT ALL YOUR USER CONTENT WILL NOT VIOLATE ANY RIGHT OF ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, PRIVACY, OR OTHER PERSONAL OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT NO USER CONTENT WILL BE OR CONTAIN LIBELOUS OR OTHERWISE UNLAWFUL, ABUSIVE, OR OBSCENE MATERIAL. YOU ARE AND SHALL REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USER CONTENT. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT TO SHOP PO THAT IT AND ITS RETAIL PARTNERS ARE FREE TO USE THE USER CONTENT, AND IMPLEMENT ANY SUGGESTIONS CONTAINED THEREIN, IF IT SO DESIRES, AS PROVIDED OR AS MODIFIED BY SHOP PO, WITHOUT OBTAINING PERMISSION OR LICENSE FROM ANY THIRD PARTY AND WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION TO YOU.

Monitoring and Enforcement

Although we are not obligated to screen communications or postings in advance and are not responsible for screening or monitoring the Platform, or any element or component thereof, you acknowledge and agree that we have the right to monitor the Platform in our sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Privacy Policy, to disclose information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate the Platform properly, or to protect itself or other users. If we are notified of communications or content that allegedly violates this Agreement and/or any applicable law, rule or regulation, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove, or request the removal of, the content or to terminate the use of the Platform by the user who posted such content, but we have no liability or responsibility to users for performance or nonperformance of such activities. Without limiting anything set out elsewhere in this Agreement, if a user views content or receives communications allegedly inconsistent with this Agreement, the user may send an e-mail to legal@sspo.com stating, in reasonable detail, the observed behavior. Following receipt of such correspondence, a decision will be made by us, in our sole discretion, regarding the appropriate action to take, if any, to address the concern set out in such e-mail. Any action or inaction by us does not imply or impose any responsibility or liability on us for the form, intent or accuracy of the original or any subsequent content posted by, or communications between, users. If you are involved in a dispute with one or more customers of the Platform, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Indemnified Parties are released (including its officers, directors, affiliates, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind arising out of or in any way connected to any dispute. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any User Content or other materials on or through the Platform. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THEM DURING, OR AS A RESULT OF, OR AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS OR DISCLOSURES BY ANY SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

2.3 Third Party Sites

The Platform may have links to third party websites, services and applications, such as websites hosted by third party retailers (collectively, “Third Party Sites”). When you click on such a link, you will leave the Platform and be directed to the Third Party Site. This Agreement does not apply to Third Party Sites. We have no control over, do not review or endorse, and are not responsible for any Third Party Sites, the content therein, or their privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any Third Party Sites you access. In no event shall any reference to any third party, third party website, or third party product or service be construed as an approval or endorsement by us of that third party, Third Party Site, or of any product or service provided by a third party.

2.4 Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations and Agent for Notice

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material in the Platform infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send our Agent for Notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement (“Agent”) a written notice requesting that we remove or block access to the infringing material. Your notice to us must include the following information:

  1. an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  3. a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located with sufficient detail (including applicable URL if possible) that we may find it;
  4. your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  5. a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent or the law;
  6. information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the owner/administrator of the allegedly infringing content; and
  7. a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.

If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongfully filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see www.loc.gov/copyright. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to our Agent:

By mail:
Copyright Agent
20 Channel Center Street
Boston, MA 02210
Attn:  Legal Department
legal@sspo.com

Please note that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

3. Additional Terms for App

3.1  App Platforms

You acknowledge and agree that the App is dependent on a third party mobile app platform (such as the Apple iTunes store) (each, an “App Platform”). Each App Platform may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading the App from it. You agree to comply with, and your use of the App is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable agreements, terms and conditions of use/service, and other policies of the applicable App Platform.

3.2  Wireless Carrier Considerations

To use or otherwise access the App, you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the App. We do not warrant that the App will be compatible with your mobile device. We do not charge for the App, but your wireless carrier's normal messaging, data and other rates and fees will still apply. By using the App and unless you have opted out of notifications through your mobile phone, you agree to and will receive push notification in connection with the App.

3.3 User End Licenses

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the App downloaded directly from a legitimate app store, solely in object code format and solely for your personal use for lawful purposes using your Account, on a single mobile device that you own or control. You may not:

  • modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the App, except to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by law;
  • rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the App to any third party;
  • make any copies of the App, other than for your own personal backup; or
  • remove, circumvent, disable, damage or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the App, features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content accessible through the App, or features that enforce limitations on use of the App.

The foregoing limited license is not a sale of the App, and we otherwise retain all rights, title and interest in and to the App. We may terminate your license to the App at any time, in our sole discretion. Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided by this Agreement, is void.

3.4 Updates

You acknowledge and agree that from time-to-time we may issue updates to the App. If the settings on your device are set to automatically update the App, you expressly consent to such automatic updating, and agree that this Agreement (as it may be amended) will apply to all such updates.

This Section 3 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4. Accounts and E-commerce

4.1 Account Creation and Termination

In order to use certain features of the Platform, you may be required to register for an account (“Account”) by providing certain information about yourself as prompted by our registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all information you provide is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information in your Account at all times. Your registration information must not misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organization. You may request changes to your registration information and/or terminate your Account at any time, for any reason, by submitting a request via the online form or sending a written e-mail request with “Update Information” and/or “Cancel Account” (as applicable) in the subject line to onlinesupport@sspo.com.  Without limiting anything set out elsewhere in this Agreement, we may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate your Account at any time for any reason without affecting our rights under this Agreement.

4.2 Account Responsibilities

You are fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Account, including the use of your Account by members of your household or anyone else. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account, or any other breach of security of your Account, by sending an e-mail to legal@sspo.com

with “Unauthorized Use” in the subject line. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to restrict access to your Account.

4.3 Risk of Loss

All purchases are made pursuant to a shipment contract with a third-party carrier.  This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes to you upon the retailers’ delivery to the carrier.

4.4 Refunds and Returns

You may request a return via the Platform for products purchased on the Platform, subject to the Shop PO return policy. Shop PO will refund the purchase amount of purchase accepted for return by retailers once such return is processed by the retailer. You must contact the retailer directly to return products purchased on that retailer’s website and are subject to the retailer’s individual return and cancellation policies.  Please see the retailer’s policies for details. 

5. Security

From time to time, we may use techniques designed to identify fraudulent activities. You agree to cooperate with any efforts as we may, in our sole discretion, deem necessary to identify attempted fraud. You further agree that if, for any reason, you or others acting on your behalf are suspected of fraud or other violations of this Agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, declare you to be in breach of this Agreement, suspend, block and/or terminate your use of the Platform, and/or seek prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. We may also, in our discretion, provide information about fraudulent activities to law enforcement or other entities as we deem appropriate.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Scope of the Arbitration Agreement.  Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but in time and energy, both you and Shop PO (with the retailers as third-party beneficiaries) agree that any legal dispute between you and Shop PO concerning or arising in any way out of this Agreement, any purchase from Shop PO or initiated through the Platform, any communications between you and Shop PO, or your participation in any other program or service provided by Shop PO shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE OR GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. HOWEVER, EITHER YOU OR SHOP PO MAY BRING ANY INDIVIDUAL CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT CONSISTENT WITH THE JURISDICTIONAL AND DOLLAR LIMITS THAT MAY APPLY, AS LONG AS IT IS BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and Shop PO or any Shop PO retailer as third-party beneficiary to this Agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

Informal Dispute Process.  Either party asserting a Dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice as specified below to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 60 days in which to respond.  Notice shall be made by first class or registered mail (1) to Shop PO, Attention: Legal Department, 20 Channel Center, Boston, MA 02210 or (2) to you at the billing address on file with Shop PO.  Both you and Shop PO agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.  You or we must include a copy of the notice and proof of mailing with any arbitration demand.

How Arbitration Works.  Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties shall agree to, or the court shall select, another arbitration provider. At your choice, arbitration may occur by video, telephone or be on a documents-only basis. Any arbitration hearing shall take place at a place chosen by the AAA in the same city as the U.S. District Court closest to your then current billing address, or at some other place to which you and Shop PO in writing.  If you live outside the United States or do not have an address on file, any arbitration will take place in Boston, Massachusetts. Except for claims determined by the arbitrator to be made in bad faith, that are frivolous or where your claim is valued at more than $75,000, Shop PO will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you. Any claim by us or you must be commenced within one (1) year after the Dispute arises.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS.  Any arbitration shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, including an award of public injunctive relief. YOU AND SHOP PO ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND IN SO DOING YOU AND SHOP PO HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LAWSUIT OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION, AND ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration. 

Governing Law and Other Terms.  This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the state or country of your residence, as determined by your mailing address on file with Shop PO, will govern. If you do not have an address on file with Shop PO, the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will apply.  Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class/representative action waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver. Except as set forth in the above paragraph regarding the class/representative action waiver, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. This Dispute Resolution & Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of your relationship with Shop PO, including the end of your participation in any program or service and opt-out of consent for marketing or other agreements with Shop PO.  Shop PO will provide notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, including termination or deletion of your account with Shop PO and/or opt-out of marketing emails or other communications.

Survival.  This Arbitration Agreement survives the end of the relationship between you and Shop PO, including without limitation termination of your Shop PO membership, cancellation or deletion of your Shop PO account, opt-out of marketing, or end of participation in any Shop PO program or service.

7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shop PO, its parent, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, agents, representatives, retailer partners, suppliers, manufacturers, licensees, content providers, successors and assigns, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, harm, loss, liability, claims, actions, demands, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, arising out of or related to (i) your use of the Platform, the Materials, or any element or component thereof, (ii) your User Content, and/or (iii) your violation of this Agreement or any applicable laws, rules or regulations. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You further agree not to settle any matter without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8. Release

Without limiting anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you hereby release and forever discharge each of the Indemnified Parties from any and all damages, harm, loss, liability, claims, actions, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, past, present or future (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, and/or any use or access by you of the Platform, including any interactions with, or acts or omissions of, retailers or other operators of Third Party Sites. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
