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, listing a product, 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 13 years old to create a buyer account, and at least 18 years old to create a vendor account or make a purchase. If you're between 13 and 18, you may use the Services only with involvement from a parent or guardian.

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

We are not:

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

We are the marketplace facilitator responsible for collecting payment, holding funds in escrow, calculating and remitting sales tax where applicable, paying vendors 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 at support@disc.market. 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. Vendors 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 vendor at the listed price, subject to the vendor'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 to Disc.Market's Stripe account at checkout.
2. The vendor is notified and prepares/ships the order within their stated handling time.
3. Once delivery is confirmed (via carrier tracking) and a 3-day dispute window passes with no disputes, we release the vendor's share via a Stripe transfer.
4. Our 10% platform fee (on the item subtotal and shipping, never on tax) is retained for platform operations.
5. Sales tax remains on the Disc.Market account and is remitted to the applicable state.

Shipping

Shipping costs, options, and timeframes are set by each vendor and displayed at checkout. Shipping is fulfilled by the vendor 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 vendor through the platform before the order ships. If the order has shipped, see our Refund & Returns Policy.

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

Vendor responsibilities

• Provide accurate product 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 vendor dashboard credentials and staff permissions.

Consignment

Vendors may list items on consignment for third-party sellers. The vendor remains the seller of record to the buyer; payouts to consignment sellers are facilitated either through a Stripe Connect transfer (if the seller has connected a Stripe account) or tracked as manual offline payouts the vendor is responsible for issuing.

Suspension for policy or performance

We may restrict listings, pause payouts, or suspend a vendor 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.

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; vendors 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 to:

DMCA Agent, Disc.Market
Email: dmca@disc.market

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 vendor directly through the platform messaging system.
2. If you can't reach the vendor 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 vendor first).

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.

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 product listed on the marketplace; those warranties, where they exist, come from the vendor.

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 products you list, sell, buy, or post on the Services
• Any dispute between you and another user

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there — except that, if you are a consumer and your jurisdiction requires disputes to be heard there, those laws apply.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights or confidential information.

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 to legal@disc.market.
• Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
