Faire's Terms of Service govern use of its B2B wholesale marketplace connecting independent retailers with brands and suppliers, covering account registration, order transactions, payment processing, content licensing, and dispute resolution. The terms authorize Faire to use, modify, reproduce, and sublicense any content users upload to the platform, and require users to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration rather than court proceedings or class actions. Faire's liability to any user is capped at the greater of amounts paid to Faire in the twelve months preceding a claim or one hundred dollars, and users are required to indemnify Faire against third-party claims, including product liability claims, arising from their goods or conduct.
This document governs access to and use of Faire's wholesale marketplace platform, operated by Faire Marketplace, Inc., and establishes a contractual relationship between Faire and two distinct user categories: retailers (independent store buyers) and brands (wholesale suppliers/sellers). The agreement states that users grant Faire a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display any content they submit to the platform, and the terms authorize Faire to suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion with limited notice obligations. The terms include a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, a limitation of liability capping Faire's exposure at the greater of amounts paid in the prior twelve months or one hundred dollars, and indemnification obligations requiring users to defend Faire against third-party claims arising from their platform conduct, content, or products. The agreement engages the FTC Act regarding consumer protection and unfair practices, California consumer protection law given Faire's San Francisco base and the governing law clause selecting California, and potentially GDPR and CCPA for data-related provisions addressed by reference to a separate Privacy Policy; the applicable law dependency means EU/EEA and California users may have rights that qualify or supersede certain asserted terms. The arbitration and class action waiver provisions may require evaluation under applicable state and federal consumer protection frameworks, and the seller indemnification scope, which covers product liability claims directed at Faire, creates material vendor risk exposure that procurement and compliance teams should assess.
