GOAT Terms of Use

This document constitutes GOAT's Terms of Use governing access to and use of the GOAT platform, a global marketplace for sneakers, apparel, and accessories, operating under California law with the courts of Los Angeles County designated as the exclusive forum. The agreement states that users grant GOAT a broad, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute any content they submit, and the terms authorize GOAT to suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion without prior notice. The terms include a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver administered by JAMS, a provision that users must opt out within 30 days of account creation to preserve class action rights, and a limitation of liability capping GOAT's total damages exposure at the greater of the fees paid in the prior 12 months or $100; these are significant but broadly consistent with marketplace platform practices, though enforceability of class action waivers may be limited in certain jurisdictions including California in some consumer contexts. The document engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive trade practices, CCPA for California resident data rights, and general consumer protection frameworks across its international markets including the EU, UK, Canada, and Australia, where some provisions may interact with local mandatory consumer rights laws. Compliance teams should note that the combination of mandatory arbitration, a $100 damages floor, seller fee structures, and broad IP licensing terms may require jurisdiction-specific evaluation, particularly for EU and UK users where consumer contract directives may constrain some of these provisions.
