Terms of Service

Welcome to Disc.Market. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Disc.Market LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Disc.Market," "we," "us"), governing your access to and use of the Disc.Market website, mobile applications, and related services (together, the "Services").

By creating an account, posting a listing, making a purchase, or otherwise accessing the Services, you accept these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund & Returns Policy, each of which is incorporated here by reference. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

If you don't agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services, whether as a buyer or a Pro Shop. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. By using the Services, you represent that you are 18 or older and have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.

Disc.Market is a multi-Pro Shop online marketplace for disc golf listings. Independent third-party Pro Shops list, price, describe, fulfill, and stand behind their own listings. We provide the software, payment rails, shipping integrations, and customer-support infrastructure that let buyers and Pro Shops transact.

We are not:

• The seller of record for any individual listing. Pro Shops sell their listings directly to buyers; we facilitate the transaction.
• A warehouse. We don't physically hold, inspect, photograph, or pack inventory. Listings ship directly from the Pro Shop to the buyer.
• A manufacturer or distributor. We don't make, authenticate, certify, or guarantee the listings listed on the platform. That's the Pro Shop's responsibility.

We are the marketplace facilitator responsible for collecting payment, holding funds in escrow, calculating and remitting sales tax where applicable, paying Pro Shops according to our platform rules, and enforcing our content and conduct policies.

Eligibility and account creation

You may create an account only if you meet the age requirements in the Agreement section and can legally enter into contracts in your jurisdiction. When you register, you must provide accurate and complete information and keep it up to date.

Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access via the Contact page. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorized use of your account that you did not promptly report.

One account per person

You may not create more than one active buyer account or impersonate another person. Pro Shops operating multiple storefronts must contact us to discuss Pro Shop staffing rather than create duplicate accounts.

Termination and suspension

We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion for violations of these Terms, fraudulent activity, chargebacks without basis, abusive behavior toward staff or other users, or any legal requirement. You may close your account at any time from account settings.

Placing an order

When you place an order, you're making an offer to purchase the listed items from the Pro Shop at the listed price, subject to the Pro Shop's terms and this agreement. The order is confirmed once we successfully charge your payment method. If the payment fails, the order is not confirmed and no contract is formed.

Payment and currency

All prices and payments are in U.S. dollars. We accept the payment methods supported by our payment processor (Stripe), which may include credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay/Clearpay, and others. Your card data is submitted directly to Stripe — we don't see or store full card numbers.

Sales tax

We collect and remit sales tax in jurisdictions where we have an economic-nexus obligation. At launch, this includes Missouri. We track nexus thresholds across all 50 U.S. states and will begin collecting in additional states as we cross their economic-nexus thresholds, as required by law.

How escrow works

Because we hold funds in escrow, the payment flow is:

1. You pay the full order total (subtotal + shipping + sales tax) to Disc.Market's Stripe account at checkout — not the Pro Shop's account.
2. The Pro Shop is notified and prepares/ships the order within their stated handling time.
3. Once delivery is confirmed via carrier tracking webhook, a 3-day dispute window opens.
4. If no dispute is filed during that window, we release the Pro Shop's share via a Stripe transfer to the Pro Shop's connected Stripe account.
5. Our 10% platform fee is calculated on the item subtotal + shipping only. Sales tax is never part of the commission base. Stripe's processing fees (~2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) are absorbed by Disc.Market, not deducted from the Pro Shop's payout.
6. Collected sales tax stays on the Disc.Market account and is remitted to the applicable state on the state's filing schedule.
7. If a full refund, full chargeback loss, or order cancellation occurs at any point, the sold listing is automatically revived to live on the marketplace so other buyers can find it again. Partial refunds do not trigger revival — the sale stands at the adjusted amount.

Shipping

Shipping costs, options, and timeframes are set by each Pro Shop and displayed at checkout. Shipping is fulfilled by the Pro Shop or their designated carrier using our integrated shipping partner (EasyPost). Tracking numbers are emailed to you when a label is created.

Order cancellations

You may request cancellation by messaging the Pro Shop through the platform before the order ships. If the order has shipped, see our Refund & Returns Policy.

These Pro Shop terms apply to Pro Shop operators and staff in addition to the general Terms above. Becoming a Pro Shop requires completing the application, admin approval, Stripe Connect onboarding, and signing the Pro Shop Agreement presented in the setup wizard.

Platform fee and payouts

• Platform fee: 10% of (item subtotal + shipping). Sales tax is never included in the fee calculation.
• Processing fees: Stripe's processing fees (roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are absorbed by Disc.Market, not deducted from your payout.
• Payout timing: payouts are released via stripe.transfers.create() to your connected Stripe account after the buyer's delivery is confirmed and a 3-day dispute window passes without a dispute.
• Payout method: Stripe Connect Express. Pro Shops must complete identity verification and bank-account onboarding with Stripe before receiving payouts.
• 1099-K: if your annual sales exceed the IRS reporting threshold, Stripe (and, where applicable, Disc.Market) will issue a 1099-K form.

Pro Shop responsibilities

• Provide accurate listing descriptions, honest condition grading, and clear photos — no misleading titles or fake scarcity.
• Ship orders within the handling time you commit to at onboarding. Persistent late shipments affect your on-time-ship rate and may result in account restrictions.
• Maintain the physical location (or fulfillment partner) you listed at registration; update us if you move.
• Respond to buyer messages within a reasonable time (we recommend within 24 hours on business days).
• Honor your published return and refund policy.
• Collect and provide Disc.Market with tax-identification information required for 1099-K or state tax reporting.
• Maintain the security of your Pro Shop dashboard credentials and staff permissions.

Content moderation

All listings, descriptions, reviews, messages, and Q&A content pass through an automated word filter covering hate speech, scam patterns, platform-circumvention attempts, and other prohibited categories. Submissions that match a permanent-ban category are blocked at the form level; other matches are flagged for human review. Disc.Market retains the right to post-publish moderate any Pro Shop-authored content — hiding, editing, or removing it — at our discretion when it violates these Terms, the Pro Shop Agreement, or applicable law. There is no admin pre-approval gate on new listings; Pro Shops publish directly and the platform relies on automated screening plus post-publish review to keep the catalog clean.

Pro Shop Agreement and electronic signature

Before being approved to sell, each Pro Shop must complete the setup wizard and sign the Pro Shop Agreement presented in the final step. Your signature is captured as an in-browser signature image and stored together with your IP address and the timestamp of signing as a legal electronic-signature audit trail. By signing, you affirm that you have read and agree to the Pro Shop Agreement, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Refund & Returns Policy.

Pro Shop staff seats

The Pro Shop account holder ("Pro Shop owner") may invite additional users as staff seats to help operate the storefront. Staff seats are owner-controlled: the owner invites, assigns role-based permissions (orders, shipping, listings, messages, reviews, payments, etc.), and may revoke a staff seat at any time. Every staff action is logged. The owner remains contractually responsible for all activity under the Pro Shop account, including actions taken by staff.

Consignment selling

Some Pro Shops operate as consignment Pro Shops, listing items on behalf of third-party sellers. Consignment Pro Shops are responsible for: (a) accurately representing items they don't physically own, (b) honoring their own published payout agreements with their consignment sellers, and (c) keeping consignment-seller contact information up to date in the dashboard. Payouts to consignment sellers are split per the Pro Shop's configured payout percentage on each item. When a consignment Pro Shop self-ships an item and pays the carrier out of pocket, that label cost is tracked separately on the order to ensure the cost is not double-deducted from both the Pro Shop and the consignment seller.

Suspension for policy or performance

We may restrict listings, pause payouts, or suspend a Pro Shop account for repeated policy violations, unresolved disputes, excessive cancellations, excessive chargebacks, or conduct that threatens buyer safety or trust in the marketplace. We'll communicate the reason and any path to reinstatement whenever possible.

Allowed categories

• Disc golf discs (new and used)
• Disc golf bags, carts, and storage
• Disc golf baskets, targets, and practice equipment
• Disc-golf-related apparel
• Disc-golf-related accessories (mini markers, towels, chalk, retrievers, etc.)

Prohibited items

• Counterfeit, replica, or trademark-infringing discs and gear. Listing a "Star Destroyer" that isn't an authentic Innova Star Destroyer, or any item bearing a PDGA-approved brand's marks where the item is not the genuine item, is grounds for immediate listing removal and account suspension.
• PDGA-illegal/unstamped tournament discs misrepresented as PDGA-approved. Pro Shops must accurately represent whether a disc is currently on the PDGA approved-discs list and whether it has the PDGA tournament stamp.
• Stolen tournament or club discs. Discs that were lost, stolen, or recovered from a course where the original owner can be identified by ink/stamp/contact info must be returned or otherwise resolved with the owner — not relisted for sale.
• Autographed discs without proof of authenticity. Pro signatures materially affect price; Pro Shops selling autographed discs as autographed must be able to substantiate the signature on request (provenance, photo with the player, COA).
• Non-disc-golf listings (general merchandise, unrelated sporting goods)
• Weapons, ammunition, hazardous materials, restricted substances
• Illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, tobacco, or vaping listings
• Items that promote hate, violence, or discrimination
• Personal data or information that is not yours to sell
• Stolen goods of any kind
• Items subject to recall or banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Prohibited conduct

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone acting on your behalf to:

• Use the Services to violate any law or regulation
• Circumvent our fees or shipping system by directing buyers to contact you or pay you off-platform
• Harass, abuse, or threaten other users or our staff
• Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes another person's rights
• Post or send spam, bulk messages, or phishing attempts
• Use automated tools (scrapers, bots) to access or scrape the Services without our written permission
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services
• Upload malware, viruses, or any code designed to disrupt or damage the Services
• Register multiple accounts to manipulate reviews, ratings, or promotions

Your content

"Your Content" means any text, photos, videos, ratings, reviews, listings, messages, descriptions, or other material you submit to the Services. You retain ownership of Your Content.

License to us

By submitting Your Content, you grant Disc.Market a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, display, publicly perform, modify (for formatting), and distribute Your Content solely in connection with operating, improving, and marketing the Services. This license continues for as long as Your Content exists on the Services and as reasonably needed for backups, fraud investigations, and legal compliance after deletion.

Your representations

You represent that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to Your Content
• Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights
• Your Content is truthful (reviews reflect genuine experience, listings accurately describe the item)
• You are not being paid to post a biased review

Moderation

We screen content with automated filters and human review. We may edit, hide, or remove Your Content if it violates these Terms or applicable law. We have no obligation to monitor Your Content but we reserve the right to do so.

The Services, including the Disc.Market name, logo, design, code, and all underlying software and content we provide (excluding Your Content), are owned by Disc.Market or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose.

"Disc.Market" and our logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written consent except to factually refer to the Services (e.g., "I bought this on Disc.Market"). Other brands' trademarks and logos belong to their respective owners; Pro Shops may list items bearing those trademarks only when they're selling genuine, authentic goods.

We respect intellectual-property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that material on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail to let us find it (URLs help)
4. Your contact information (address, phone, email)
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

Send notices via:

DMCA Designated Agent, Disc.Market LLC
Submit DMCA notices and counter-notices via the Contact page with the subject line "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notice." Disc.Market is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory; the agent's contact information of record is searchable at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

Counter-notices follow the same format, substituting step 5 with a statement of good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification. We will forward valid counter-notices to the complainant. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

Our Refund & Returns Policy covers this in detail. In short:

1. Contact the Pro Shop directly through the platform messaging system.
2. If you can't reach the Pro Shop or they won't resolve the issue, open a formal dispute within the 3-day post-delivery dispute window.
3. Our team reviews evidence from both sides and issues a decision. If we decide in your favor, we refund you directly from the escrowed funds (we don't need to recover anything from the Pro Shop first).
4. When a dispute, cancellation, or lost chargeback results in a full refund, the sold listing is automatically revived to live on the marketplace so the Pro Shop can sell it again. Partial refunds do not trigger revival — the sale stands at the adjusted amount.

Opening a chargeback with your credit-card issuer without first working through our dispute process is a breach of these Terms and may result in account suspension. We generally win chargebacks when evidence shows delivery and no prior dispute was raised.

Read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights

This section requires you and Disc.Market to resolve most disputes through binding individual arbitration, not in court, and waives your right to bring or participate in a class action. It does not cover small-claims cases (which you can still bring) or claims for emergency court orders to stop ongoing intellectual-property infringement.

Who this applies to

This section applies to any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Disc.Market relating to the Services, your account, the Terms, or Disc.Market's actions or omissions — past, present, or future, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including negligence), fraud, or any other legal theory (a "Dispute"). It applies to claims that arose before you accepted these Terms.

Informal dispute resolution first

Before starting arbitration, you and Disc.Market agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally for at least 60 days. To start, you (or your attorney) must send a written notice describing the Dispute and your contact information via the Contact page with the subject "Legal Notice — Dispute." If we have a Dispute with you, we will send notice to the email address on your account. If we can't agree on a resolution within 60 days, either side may proceed to arbitration.

Arbitration agreement

You and Disc.Market each agree to resolve any Dispute through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org/consumer) and, if applicable, the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator with experience deciding similar cases. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration procedure and fees

• Location. Arbitration may proceed in person, by phone, or by document submission. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside, unless we mutually agree on another location.
• Arbitrator's authority. The arbitrator (not a court) will decide all issues, including the validity, scope, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court could, but may not award relief to or for anyone other than the parties to the arbitration.
• Fees. AAA's filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If your claim is for less than $10,000, Disc.Market will pay your share of those fees, unless the arbitrator finds the claim or relief sought was frivolous.
• Confidentiality. Either party may disclose the existence and outcome of the arbitration as required by law; otherwise the proceedings are confidential.
• Decision. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding except for limited review under the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver

You and Disc.Market each agree that Disputes will be brought only in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court decides this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then only that claim or remedy (and no other) will be severed from arbitration and brought in court; the rest of the Dispute will proceed in arbitration.

What's not covered (carve-outs)

This arbitration agreement does not apply to:

• Small-claims court. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies for that court's jurisdiction. If a party escalates a small-claims case beyond that court (e.g., by appealing to a court of general jurisdiction), the case must move to arbitration instead.
• Emergency intellectual-property relief. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to stop ongoing infringement, misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure of intellectual property or confidential information.

30-day right to opt out

You can opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you don't want to be bound by it, you must send written notice of your decision to opt out via the Contact page with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (i.e., 30 days from creating your account). Your notice must include your full name, the email address on your Disc.Market account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, the rest of these Terms (including the Governing Law section) still applies; you and Disc.Market will resolve Disputes in the courts identified there. Opting out has no adverse effect on your account or use of the Services.

Survival

This arbitration agreement survives the termination of these Terms or your account.

Severability

If any portion of this section is found unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder will continue in effect, except that if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim seeking public injunctive relief, that specific claim must proceed in court rather than arbitration; all other claims must proceed in arbitration.

The Services are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Disc.Market disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of viruses, or that defects will be corrected. We do not warrant the quality, accuracy, or reliability of any listing listed on the marketplace; those warranties, where they exist, come from the Pro Shop.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including consumer protections in your jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Disc.Market and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption — arising out of or related to your use of the Services, even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid Disc.Market in platform fees in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Disc.Market and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Services
• Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law
• Your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights
• Any content or listings you list, sell, buy, or post on the Services
• Any dispute between you and another user

These Terms, and any Dispute between you and Disc.Market, are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration section above.

For any Dispute that — under the Arbitration section above — is permitted to proceed in court (i.e., a small-claims case, an emergency intellectual-property action, or any Dispute brought by a user who timely opted out of arbitration), the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri, except where applicable consumer-protection law requires that the case be heard in your home jurisdiction.

You and Disc.Market each waive any right to a jury trial in any court Dispute that the Arbitration section does not require be arbitrated.

Disc.Market sends two kinds of email: transactional and marketing. The two are governed differently.

Transactional email

Order confirmations, shipping updates, delivery confirmations, dispute notices, payout receipts, password resets, Pro Shop Agreement receipts, staff invites, and similar operational messages are part of using the Services. We send them when an action on your account requires it. These messages do not require separate opt-in and you cannot unsubscribe from them while your account is active.

Marketing email (newsletter)

Our marketing newsletter is opt-in only. You only receive it if you sign up via the newsletter form (e.g. the footer subscribe field or a promotional signup card). Every newsletter send includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer, in compliance with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act. Clicking it immediately marks your address as unsubscribed and we will not send you marketing email again. You may also re-subscribe at any time from the same form.

We do not sell, rent, or share newsletter subscriber lists with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Push notifications

If you install the Disc.Market mobile app and grant push-notification permission, we use push to deliver order alerts, shipping updates, payout receipts, message notices, and similar transactional information. Push categories can be toggled individually at Account → Notifications, and notifications can be disabled wholesale in your device's system settings.

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll additionally email users with active accounts at least 7 days before the changes take effect and/or post a prominent site notice. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of a revised version constitutes acceptance.

If you do not agree to a change, your only remedy is to stop using the Services and close your account.

• Entire agreement. These Terms (including the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, which are incorporated by reference) are the entire agreement between you and Disc.Market regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Notices. We may notify you through the Services or via the email address on your account. You may send us notices via the Contact page.
• Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

If you have questions about these Terms, please use the Contact page and pick the topic that fits — support, legal, DMCA, privacy, arbitration opt-out, or other. The form routes directly to the right person on our team.

For DMCA notices specifically, the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory (copyright.gov/dmca-directory) is the authoritative source for the agent's contact information.
