Thanks for using Turtlesegg.com or another one of our other marketplace apps or services! These Terms of Use ("Terms") contain the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, services and applications (the "Services"). Please read the Terms carefully, and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or the Services, please contact us at [email protected]. These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and the applicable Turtles Egg Inc. entity as described below in Section 1.2. You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you can't use the Services. By using the Services, whether by registering for an account, using our apps, making a purchase, or otherwise, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Copyright Dispute Policy.  If you have a merchant, seller, vendor account, your use of the Services is also governed by the Merchant Terms of Service and Agreement.  If there is a conflict between the Merchant Terms and these Terms, the Merchant Terms shall control to the extent of the conflict.

1. Parties

1.1 Turtles Egg Inc. and its corporate affiliates: (i) operate online marketplaces, including Turtlesegg.com ("Marketplace Apps") that may be available as native apps for operating systems like Android or iOS, or on standard or mobile web; (ii) develop and provide other services and products. In this policy we refer to Turtles Egg and its corporate affiliates as "Turtles Egg" or "we" or "us." We refer to end users as "you" and the entities that list and sell products and services as "Merchant(s), Sellers, Vendors, Partners."

1.2 Your location determines the Turtles Egg entity with whom you have a contract:

  • If your habitual residence is in the USA, Canada, EU, UK, India or any other country, you contract with Turtles Egg Inc., a FL. USA company and the applicable terms as stated here.

The Turtles Egg entity you contract with may change as we expand our business.

1.3 The Marketplace Apps allow sellers ("Merchants") to set up stores that list and sell products and services ("Products") to end users. When you purchase a Product, the contract for sale is solely between you and the Merchant. That means that when you purchase a Product on Turtles Egg or another Marketplace App, your transaction is with the Merchant who listed the Product and the Merchant is responsible for fulfilling your order. Turtles Egg provides the technology platform for the Marketplace Apps and acts as a payment collection agent for the Merchant solely for the limited purpose of accepting funds from you, on behalf of the Merchant, upon your purchase of a Product from the Merchant via a Marketplace App.

1.4 Some Products may be available for pickup or receipt at a physical location near you. See the Pick Up Policy for additional details and restrictions.

2. Services

2.1 Turtles Egg operates marketplaces that allow Merchants and users to share information and complete purchases. Merchants are responsible for their stores, their Products, their Product listings (including any original or strike-through prices), and fulfillment of your order. Merchants may be located in your country or region or elsewhere. If they are located elsewhere, this may have an effect on taxes, customs or the applicability of consumer protection rules.

2.2 Although we are not a party to the contract formed between you and a Merchant when you purchase Products sold by Merchants, we may, in relation to providing our Services or in relation to our role as a limited payment collection agent for Merchant, assist with payment processing, returns, refunds, and other customer service. Turtles Egg does not guarantee: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of Merchant Products or Product listings; (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Product listings, descriptions, or other content provided by Merchants; (iii) the truth or accuracy of ratings, reviews, or other User Submissions; or (iv) the performance or conduct of Merchants or other third parties. Except where we clearly indicate otherwise, Turtles Egg does not endorse any Merchant, store, Product, or Product listing. Please read all labels, warnings, and directions provided with a purchased Product before using or receiving it, and consider doing your own research prior to making a purchase.

2.3 You acknowledge and agree that Turtles Egg acts as the Merchant’s payment collection agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Merchant. Upon your payment of funds to us, your payment obligation to the Merchant for the agreed-upon amount is extinguished, and Turtles Egg is responsible for remitting the funds to the Merchant in the manner described in the Merchant Terms of Service and Agreement, which constitutes Turtles Egg’s agreement with the Merchant. In the event that Turtles Egg does not remit any such amounts, the Merchant will have recourse only against Turtles Egg and not you directly.

2.4 Please check all details, delivery time and any restrictions regarding each Product thoroughly before you place your order with a Merchant. With regard to any requests for services, please note that it is solely your responsibility (or the responsibility of the person receiving the services) to inform the Merchant of any medical or health conditions and/or special needs that may affect or be affected by the services (including, but not limited to, information regarding allergies and health problems).

6. Google Calendar Integration and Google API Data - Privacy Policy And Terms of Use: Detailed data disclosure, User agreement and Service rules.

Google Calendar Data Privacy Disclosure

TurtlesEgg uses Google Sign-In and Google Calendar integration to allow sellers to connect their Google Calendar to their TurtlesEgg seller account for booking and availability management.

When a seller connects their Google account, TurtlesEgg may access Google Calendar data that the seller authorizes, including calendar lists, calendar availability, and calendar events. This access is used only to support the seller’s booking workflow on TurtlesEgg.

TurtlesEgg uses Google Calendar data for the following purposes:

  1. To allow sellers to select which Google Calendar they want to sync with TurtlesEgg.
  2. To check calendar availability so existing Google Calendar events can block unavailable time slots on TurtlesEgg.
  3. To create calendar events when a customer places a booking through TurtlesEgg.
  4. To update or remove related calendar events if a TurtlesEgg booking is changed, rescheduled, or cancelled.
  5. To help sellers manage their TurtlesEgg bookings and Google Calendar appointments in one place.

TurtlesEgg does not sell Google Calendar data. TurtlesEgg does not use Google Calendar data for advertising, marketing, profiling, or unrelated analytics. Private Google Calendar event details are not displayed to customers. Private or existing calendar events are used only to determine availability and prevent double bookings.

TurtlesEgg does not share Google Calendar data with third parties except when necessary to provide and maintain the calendar synchronization service, comply with applicable law, or protect the security and integrity of our platform. TurtlesEgg stores only the information necessary to provide the calendar integration, such as the seller’s selected calendar connection, authorization tokens, and TurtlesEgg-related booking event information. Access tokens are used only to perform authorized calendar sync actions.

Google Calendar Data Retention After Disconnect

When a seller disconnects Google Calendar, TurtlesEgg immediately stops accessing or syncing that seller’s Google Calendar data. Any stored Google Calendar tokens are deleted or invalidated, and any cached calendar event data is deleted within a defined period, ideally within 30 days, unless retention is required for security, legal, fraud prevention, audit, or transaction record purposes.

TurtlesEgg’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Seller expressly appoints TurtlesEgg as Seller’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of receiving and processing Customer payments arising from bona fide purchases of Seller’s Products or Services through the Marketplace.

TurtlesEgg provides this payment collection function on behalf of Seller as the party entitled to receive payment for the applicable Product or Service and not as a general-purpose money-transfer service for Customers or Sellers.

7.2 Customer Payment Satisfies the Payment Obligation

Payment properly received by TurtlesEgg for a Marketplace transaction will be treated as payment received for purposes of satisfying the Customer’s payment obligation to Seller for the amount properly received.

After TurtlesEgg properly receives Customer payment, Seller may not seek or demand duplicate payment of that amount directly from Customer.

If TurtlesEgg fails to pay an otherwise valid Eligible Settlement, Seller’s recourse for that Seller Settlement Amount is against TurtlesEgg and not against a Customer who properly paid TurtlesEgg.

Customer payments remain subject to applicable payment failures, refunds, cancellations, returns, reversals, chargebacks, fraud determinations, and other adjustments permitted under this Agreement.

7.3 Collection Limited to Contracted Sellers

Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with identity, business, tax, sanctions, fraud, security, account-ownership, and other verification requirements reasonably required by TurtlesEgg or an applicable Payment Service Provider.

Subject to applicable law, payment-network rules, financial-institution requirements, and this Agreement, TurtlesEgg may route transactions through or among approved Payment Service Providers as reasonably necessary for security, compliance, availability, fraud prevention, risk management, and operational continuity.

Nothing in this Section permits Seller to designate an unrelated payment recipient or alters the requirement that Seller Settlement Amounts may be paid only to the verified Seller or verified Seller business entitled to receive settlement for the underlying Marketplace transaction.

Back to menu

10. Provider-Hosted or Connected Accounts

A Payment Service Provider may require Seller to create, maintain, verify, or reconnect a provider-hosted, sub-merchant, connected, payout, or other technical account as a condition of processing or payout.

The existence of any such account does not create an immediate Seller entitlement to Customer card proceeds and does not replace the TurtlesEgg Ledger as the contractual source of truth for Seller settlement eligibility.

TurtlesEgg may instruct, authorize, initiate, delay, restrict, or withhold transfers or payouts through such provider account in accordance with this Agreement, applicable law, and provider requirements.

Back to menu

11. Verified Seller as Sole Settlement Recipient

Seller Settlement Amounts may be paid only to the verified Seller or verified Seller business that is party to this Agreement.

Payout may be made only to an approved payout destination verified as belonging to that Seller or verified Seller business.

Seller may not direct TurtlesEgg to pay a Seller Settlement Amount to another Seller, a Customer, an unrelated individual, an unrelated business, an arbitrary third-party beneficiary, or another destination that cannot be verified as belonging to Seller or Seller’s verified business.

Back to menu

12. Seller Eligibility, Identity and Business Verification

Seller must provide complete, accurate, and current information reasonably requested by TurtlesEgg, including legal business name, address, contact information, entity information, taxpayer information, ownership or authorized representative information, licenses, permits, certifications, and other information necessary for Marketplace, payment, tax, security, fraud, sanctions, or compliance purposes.

TurtlesEgg or its approved service providers may conduct identity, business, sanctions, fraud, tax, licensing, payout-account, account-ownership, or other verification.

TurtlesEgg may restrict listings, orders, Bookings, settlement, or payout until required verification is satisfactorily completed.

Seller must promptly update information that changes.

Back to menu

13. Seller Listings, Product and Service Obligations

Seller is responsible for every Product and Service Seller lists or fulfills through TurtlesEgg and represents that Seller has the legal right and authority to offer each Product or Service.

Seller must provide complete, accurate, current, and non-misleading information regarding description, condition, availability, quantity, price information supplied by Seller, service details, Booking availability, material restrictions, Product specifications, return terms, photographs, licensing or qualification information, and other material facts a reasonable Customer would need before purchasing.

Seller may not list counterfeit, stolen, recalled, unlawfully imported, materially unsafe, infringing, fraudulent, prohibited, or unlawful Products or Services.

TurtlesEgg may restrict a Product, Service, category, industry, or transaction type where reasonably necessary to comply with law, payment-network requirements, Payment Service Provider requirements, safety requirements, insurance requirements, or Marketplace risk standards.

Back to menu

14. TurtlesEgg Ledger as Source of Truth

14.1 Ledger

The TurtlesEgg Ledger is the authoritative operational record for determining Marketplace transaction status, Seller settlement calculations, Seller reserves, refunds, adjustments, and payout status, subject to correction of documented errors.

The Ledger may record Customer payments, order or Booking status, taxes, Marketplace fees, Seller Settlement Amounts, pending settlement, reserves, refunds, returns, cancellations, disputes, chargebacks, reversals, adjustments, settlement eligibility, payouts initiated, payout failures, and completed payouts.

14.2 Conditional Seller Settlement

Processing of Customer payment does not create an immediately withdrawable Seller balance or automatic entitlement to payout.

Seller instead acquires a contractual right to the Seller Settlement Amount determined under this Agreement, which becomes eligible for payout only after applicable transaction, fulfillment, return, refund, Booking, dispute, reserve, fraud-review, and other settlement requirements have been satisfied.

14.3 Seller Reports

Seller transaction, settlement, reserve, refund, adjustment, and payout information will be made available through Seller reports or SellerHub functionality. Where supported, Seller may download report information in Excel, CSV, spreadsheet, or another supported format.

Seller must promptly notify TurtlesEgg of a claimed settlement or reporting error.

Back to menu

15. Seller Settlement Is Not a Wallet, Deposit or Escrow Account

Seller Settlement Amounts and reserve amounts displayed in SellerHub are contractual Ledger entries.

They are not Seller bank accounts, deposits, escrow accounts, general-purpose stored-value accounts, electronic wallets, transferable cash balances, peer-to-peer balances, investment accounts, or general-purpose money-transfer accounts.

Seller may not transfer a Seller Settlement Amount to another TurtlesEgg user or direct TurtlesEgg to transmit it to an unrelated third party.

No interest is payable on pending Seller Settlement Amounts or Seller Reserve amounts.

TurtlesEgg’s internal treasury segregation or accounting does not create a separate bank, custodial, escrow, or trust account in Seller’s name unless applicable law expressly requires otherwise.

Back to menu

16. No Automatic Split Settlement at Customer Checkout

Seller has no contractual right to receive an automatic split of Customer card proceeds merely because a Customer payment was accepted.

Seller settlement is governed by the TurtlesEgg Ledger and this Agreement. Any transfer or payout executed through a Payment Service Provider, including through a provider-hosted or connected account, is an execution mechanism for an Eligible Settlement and does not replace TurtlesEgg’s contractual settlement rules.

Back to menu

17. Minimum Seller Reserve

Every Seller is subject to a Minimum Seller Reserve equal to the greater of:

(a) three percent (3%) of Seller’s Outstanding Transaction Volume; or

(b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

The Minimum Seller Reserve is ordinarily established from Seller Settlement Amounts rather than collected as an upfront cash deposit.

Outstanding Transaction Volume includes transactions that remain exposed to shipment or fulfillment, delivery, Product return rights, Product refund rights, Booking cancellation rights, Booking completion, Customer claims, cardholder disputes, card-network disputes, chargebacks, fraud review, investigation, or another unresolved Seller financial exposure.

TurtlesEgg may recalculate the required reserve as Outstanding Transaction Volume changes. The recalculation may initially be performed manually and may later be automated.

If the required reserve exceeds the amount currently maintained, TurtlesEgg may withhold the additional amount from Seller’s next Eligible Settlement or subsequent Seller Settlement Amounts.

TurtlesEgg will not charge Seller’s stored or tokenized payment method merely to establish, increase, or replenish a normal Minimum Seller Reserve.

Back to menu

18. Use and Replenishment of Seller Reserve

TurtlesEgg may apply Seller Reserve amounts to actual Seller obligations including refunds, returns, chargebacks, payment reversals, card-network disputes, Seller cancellation charges, valid transaction adjustments, Seller subscription fees or renewals, Seller negative balances, and other valid Seller obligations.

If the Reserve is used, TurtlesEgg may replenish it from the next Eligible Settlement or subsequent Seller Settlement Amounts until the then-required reserve level has been restored.

Back to menu

19. Additional Risk Reserve

In addition to the standard Minimum Seller Reserve, TurtlesEgg may temporarily increase the reserve percentage, dollar amount, or duration when TurtlesEgg reasonably determines that additional protection is necessary.

TurtlesEgg may impose or increase an additional Reserve without prior notice where reasonably necessary to prevent or limit actual or reasonably anticipated loss, fraud, account compromise, Customer harm, payment-network exposure, processor exposure, or other material financial risk.

Relevant circumstances may include suspected fraud, suspected account takeover, abnormal transaction activity, significant volume changes, unusually high future-delivery exposure, elevated refunds, elevated cancellations, elevated disputes or chargebacks, fulfillment or delivery problems, Service-performance concerns, Customer complaint patterns, unresolved investigations, payout-destination security issues, acquiring-bank requirements, processor requirements, payment-network requirements, payout-provider requirements, legal requirements, or regulatory requirements.

An additional Reserve is not a Marketplace fee. TurtlesEgg will not charge Seller’s stored payment method solely to create or increase an additional Reserve.

Back to menu

20. Shipped Product Transactions

Seller remains responsible for Product fulfillment and bears shipping risk until successful delivery is confirmed.

Seller selects the applicable return/refund period for Seller’s Products and must clearly disclose it through TurtlesEgg. Seller’s return policy remains subject to applicable law, TurtlesEgg Buyer Protection, payment-network requirements, and circumstances involving non-delivery, fraud, counterfeit goods, material misrepresentation, or other Marketplace violations.

A shipped Product Seller Settlement Amount remains pending until:

  1. delivery is confirmed;
  2. Seller’s applicable return/refund period expires;
  3. an additional three (3) business day settlement buffer expires; and
  4. no unresolved refund, dispute, chargeback, investigation, Reserve requirement, or other authorized restriction remains.

The transaction then becomes eligible for the applicable weekly payout cycle.

Back to menu

21. Local Pickup Transactions

For local pickup, Seller must verify the applicable TurtlesEgg Order ID and Customer’s unique four-digit pickup confirmation code.

Seller must not request, obtain, pressure Customer to disclose, or enter the pickup code before the Product has actually been provided to Customer.

Premature or false confirmation may result in investigation, settlement delay, Reserve action, suspension, or termination.

TurtlesEgg does not ordinarily require government-issued identification for standard local pickup. Seller may use reasonable identity-verification practices where lawful and appropriate and remains responsible for any identification or age-verification legally required for a particular Product.

Confirmed pickup is treated as delivery for settlement purposes. Seller’s applicable return/refund period then runs, followed by the additional three-business-day settlement buffer.

Back to menu

22. Booking and Service Transactions

22.1 Full Customer Payment at Booking

Customers pay the applicable Booking amount upfront through TurtlesEgg checkout. Customer payment and Seller payout occur on separate timelines. Customer payment does not create an immediately payable Seller Settlement Amount.

22.2 Rescheduling

Customer and Seller may mutually agree to change or reschedule a Booking at any time. A mutually agreed reschedule is not treated as a cancellation or no-show.

22.3 Customer Cancellation More Than 24 Hours Before Appointment

If Customer cancels more than twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled appointment, Customer receives a 100% refund and Seller receives no Seller Settlement Amount for the cancelled Booking.

22.4 Customer Cancellation Between 24 Hours and 2 Hours Before Appointment

If Customer cancels within twenty-four (24) hours but more than two (2) hours before the appointment, fifty percent (50%) of the Booking amount is allocated to Seller as a cancellation-related Seller Settlement Amount and fifty percent (50%) is issued to Customer as TurtlesCash subject exclusively to the separate TurtlesCash Terms.

TurtlesCash issued to Customer is separate from Seller settlement and does not create a Seller wallet, Seller deposit, or Seller ownership interest in Customer credit.

22.5 Cancellation Within 2 Hours or Customer No-Show

If Customer cancels two (2) hours or less before the appointment, or Customer fails to appear, the Booking is treated as completed for Seller settlement purposes.

Seller receives seventy percent (70%) of the Booking amount and TurtlesEgg retains thirty percent (30%) for Marketplace cancellation administration, payment-processing costs, transaction risk, and related Marketplace costs.

TurtlesEgg may review a claimed no-show before settlement.

22.6 Seller Cancellation

Seller may cancel a Booking when reasonably necessary or mutually reschedule with Customer.

If Seller cancels without a mutually agreed reschedule, Customer receives a 100% refund, Seller bears applicable payment-processing or refund costs attributable to the Seller cancellation, and Seller is charged a $0.50 TurtlesEgg cancellation processing fee for the cancelled Booking.

22.7 Completion Verification

Seller may request or enter Customer’s four-digit Booking completion code only after the Service has actually been completed. Premature or false completion-code use may be treated as transaction manipulation or fraud.

22.8 Booking Settlement

Ordinary completed Booking payouts occur approximately three (3) to seven (7) business days after verified completion, subject to the weekly payout cycle and applicable refunds, disputes, Reserves, investigations, fraud review, banking delays, and payout-provider processing.

Back to menu

23. Seller-Initiated Product Cancellation

Seller may cancel an accepted Product order when reasonably necessary.

If an already-paid order is cancelled by Seller, Customer will receive the applicable refund, Seller bears actual card-processing, refund, or cancellation costs attributable to the cancellation, and Seller is charged a $0.50 TurtlesEgg cancellation processing fee per cancelled order.

Repeated Seller cancellations may result in additional Reserves, restrictions, investigation, suspension, or termination.

Back to menu

24. Refunds, Returns, Reversals and Chargebacks

TurtlesEgg centrally administers formal transaction-related Customer refunds, payment adjustments, payment reversals, cardholder disputes, chargebacks, and payment-network inquiries for transactions processed through TurtlesEgg checkout.

Seller must promptly provide reasonable evidence requested by TurtlesEgg concerning a refund, return, dispute, delivery, pickup, Booking, or chargeback, including tracking, delivery evidence, communications, photographs, service records, and completion information.

Seller remains responsible to TurtlesEgg for Seller-related financial losses, including as applicable refunds, Product returns, chargebacks, payment reversals, card-network disputes, Seller cancellation costs, processor costs attributable to Seller transactions, shipping losses before confirmed delivery, non-fulfillment, Service failures, Seller fraud, counterfeit Products, materially inaccurate listings, and other Seller-caused obligations.

Customer refunds will be administered through the original payment method or another method approved under applicable law and TurtlesEgg’s payment arrangements. Seller may not redirect a Customer refund to an unrelated person or payment destination.

Back to menu

25. Weekly Seller Payouts

Eligible Seller Settlement Amounts are generally included in TurtlesEgg’s weekly payout process.

Weekly payout processing does not guarantee receipt on a particular calendar date.

Payout may be delayed because of transaction eligibility requirements, Seller Reserves, refunds, returns, disputes, chargebacks, investigations, fraud review, Seller verification, payout-destination review, banking processing, provider processing, weekends or holidays, or other authorized legal, compliance, security, or provider restrictions.

Back to menu

26. Seller Payout Security and Destination Changes

Where provider-hosted onboarding is available, Seller will provide complete bank or payout information directly to TurtlesEgg’s approved payout provider.

TurtlesEgg does not intend to store Seller’s complete raw bank-account or routing information in TurtlesEgg’s application database where such hosted onboarding is available. TurtlesEgg may retain masked information, provider references, verification status, payout status, and transaction references.

Any request to add, replace, or materially modify Seller’s payout destination will trigger enhanced verification and may result in a temporary payout pause.

TurtlesEgg or its provider may require additional identity, business, ownership, authorized-representative, payout-account ownership, device, or account-security verification.

TurtlesEgg may reject any payout destination that cannot be satisfactorily verified as belonging to Seller or Seller’s verified business.

Back to menu

27. Seller Subscription Payment Method and Tokenization

Seller must maintain a valid payment method for applicable Seller-plan charges and authorized Seller obligations.

Where supported, Seller’s complete card information will be collected, vaulted, or tokenized by TurtlesEgg’s approved payment processor. TurtlesEgg does not intend to store Seller’s complete card number or card security code in TurtlesEgg’s application database.

TurtlesEgg may retain a processor-issued payment token or reference, card brand, masked card information, expiration information where provided, and authorization and transaction records.

Seller authorizes TurtlesEgg through its approved processor to use the stored or tokenized payment credential for recurring Seller subscription charges, Seller-plan renewals, and actual Seller obligations validly owed to TurtlesEgg when Seller Reserves and other amounts payable to Seller are insufficient.

For an actual Seller obligation, TurtlesEgg will generally apply available amounts in the following order:

  1. Seller Reserves;
  2. pending or future Seller Settlement Amounts and other amounts otherwise payable to Seller;
  3. other valid contractual offsets; and
  4. only if those amounts are insufficient, an authorized charge to Seller’s tokenized payment method.

A tokenized-card recovery charge other than an ordinary subscription charge will initially be subject to manual finance review. TurtlesEgg will not charge Seller’s tokenized payment method solely to fund a Seller Reserve.

If an authorized recovery charge fails, Seller remains responsible for repayment and TurtlesEgg may restrict Seller’s account, settlement, listings, or payouts.

Back to menu

28. Setoff, Settlement Adjustments and Negative Seller Obligations

TurtlesEgg may apply valid amounts Seller owes against the Minimum Seller Reserve, additional risk reserves, pending Seller Settlement Amounts, future Seller Settlement Amounts, credits otherwise payable to Seller, or other amounts TurtlesEgg owes Seller.

If those amounts are insufficient, Seller remains contractually responsible for the deficiency.

Account closure, suspension, or termination does not extinguish Seller’s repayment obligation.

Back to menu

29. Marketplace Fees and Seller Plans

Seller agrees to pay fees associated with Seller’s selected plan and Marketplace use.

Fees may include subscription fees, Marketplace or referral fees, listing or promotional fees, advertising fees, cancellation processing fees, Seller-attributable transaction or refund costs, and other fees disclosed through TurtlesEgg’s published pricing, SellerHub, Seller enrollment, or applicable fee schedule.

Fees are governed by Seller’s then-current published pricing plan and may change from time to time subject to applicable notice requirements.

TurtlesEgg may deduct authorized fees from Seller Settlement Amounts.

Back to menu

30. Transaction Taxes and Florida Marketplace Sales Tax Certification

30.1 Marketplace Transaction Taxes Generally

Where TurtlesEgg is required by applicable law to calculate, collect, report, or remit sales, use, marketplace, or similar transaction taxes on a Marketplace transaction, TurtlesEgg may perform those obligations.

30.2 Florida Marketplace Provider Certification

For qualifying taxable retail sales of tangible personal property facilitated through the TurtlesEgg Marketplace in Florida, where applicable Florida law requires TurtlesEgg to act as a Marketplace Provider and dealer, TurtlesEgg certifies to Seller that TurtlesEgg will collect and remit the Florida sales and use tax imposed on taxable Marketplace sales for which TurtlesEgg has the statutory collection responsibility.

30.3 No Duplicate Florida Collection

Where TurtlesEgg has certified that it will collect and remit Florida sales tax for a taxable Marketplace transaction, Seller must not separately collect or remit that same Florida sales tax from Customer for the same Marketplace sale.

Seller remains responsible for taxable sales Seller makes outside TurtlesEgg to the extent applicable law places that responsibility on Seller.

30.4 Accurate Seller Information

Seller must provide accurate Product, Service, business, exemption, location, and other information reasonably necessary for TurtlesEgg to determine applicable tax treatment. Seller must promptly notify TurtlesEgg if Seller believes information relevant to tax treatment is materially inaccurate.

To the extent permitted by law, Seller is responsible for losses resulting from materially incorrect or incomplete tax-related information provided by Seller.

30.5 Services and Bookings

Marketplace Provider treatment applicable to tangible personal property does not automatically determine the tax treatment of every Booking or Service. TurtlesEgg will determine and administer applicable transaction-tax collection on Services and Bookings according to governing law.

Back to menu

31. Seller Taxes and Information Reporting

Except for transaction taxes that TurtlesEgg is legally required to collect or remit, Seller remains responsible for Seller’s own applicable income taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes, business taxes, occupational taxes, licensing fees, and other Seller-specific tax obligations.

TurtlesEgg or an approved service provider may require Seller to provide taxpayer identification information, W-9 or W-8 information, or other documentation required by law.

TurtlesEgg or an approved service provider may verify taxpayer information and prepare, furnish, or file information returns where required by applicable law.

Use of a particular payout provider does not by itself determine which entity has the legal responsibility for a particular information return.

Back to menu

32. Fraud Prevention and Transaction Security

TurtlesEgg may use risk-based transaction and fraud controls that may include cardholder authentication, AVS, CVV verification, transaction velocity controls, device or IP risk analysis, transaction monitoring, processor-provided fraud tools, Seller verification, manual review, and other reasonable controls.

TurtlesEgg does not guarantee that any fraud-control system will prevent every fraudulent transaction.

TurtlesEgg may decline, challenge, delay, cancel, restrict, or review transactions presenting elevated fraud, security, compliance, regulatory, or financial risk.

Back to menu

33. Seller Account Security

Seller is responsible for safeguarding SellerHub credentials and authorized-user access.

Seller must promptly notify TurtlesEgg of suspected unauthorized access, account takeover, payout diversion, fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account changes, unauthorized payout changes, or other suspicious Seller-account activity.

Seller may not share credentials with unauthorized persons, create fraudulent Seller accounts, create fictitious transactions, falsify delivery, prematurely enter pickup or completion codes, manipulate settlement eligibility, or circumvent Marketplace security controls.

TurtlesEgg may require multi-factor authentication, reauthentication, device verification, or other security measures.

Back to menu

34. Customer Information and Privacy

Seller may use Customer information obtained through TurtlesEgg only as reasonably necessary to fulfill a Product order, perform a Booking, provide approved transaction-related customer service, comply with law, or perform another use specifically authorized by Customer or applicable TurtlesEgg policy.

Seller may not sell Customer information, disclose it without authorization, use it for unrelated purposes, improperly solicit Customers using protected Marketplace information, misuse payment information, or otherwise violate applicable privacy law or the TurtlesEgg Privacy Policy.

Seller acknowledges that the TurtlesEgg Privacy Policy applies to TurtlesEgg’s handling of personal information and is incorporated by reference where applicable.

Back to menu

35. Third-Party Integrations and Google Calendar

TurtlesEgg may allow Seller to connect approved third-party commerce, shipping, calendar, booking, inventory, point-of-sale, order-management, or other services.

Seller is responsible for authorizing each integration, maintaining Seller’s third-party accounts, ensuring Seller has authority to transmit relevant data, reviewing synchronized information, and correcting material errors in Seller-controlled source information.

If Seller connects Google Calendar, Seller authorizes TurtlesEgg to access and use the Google Calendar data necessary to support availability, Booking creation, Booking changes, rescheduling, cancellation, and related Seller workflow in accordance with the TurtlesEgg Privacy Policy and applicable Google API requirements.

Seller may disconnect an integration, subject to technical limitations and retention required for transaction records, security, fraud prevention, audit, compliance, or law.

Third-party services remain subject to their own terms, security practices, uptime, functionality, and policies. TurtlesEgg may modify or discontinue an integration where reasonably necessary.

Back to menu

36. Seller Content and License

Seller represents that Seller owns or has sufficient rights to all Product listings, Service listings, photographs, descriptions, trademarks, logos, text, video, and other content Seller submits or makes available through TurtlesEgg (“Seller Content”).

Seller grants TurtlesEgg a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license during Seller’s use of the Marketplace and for a reasonable archival period thereafter to host, reproduce, format, adapt for technical display, display, distribute, advertise, market, promote, and otherwise use Seller Content as reasonably necessary to operate and promote the Marketplace and Seller’s offerings.

Seller may not provide content that infringes another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.

Back to menu

37. Intellectual Property and Copyright Complaints

TurtlesEgg and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Marketplace, software, interface, branding, trademarks, designs, documentation, and other TurtlesEgg content, except for Seller Content and third-party content.

Seller may not copy, reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, reproduce, distribute, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from the Marketplace except as expressly permitted by TurtlesEgg or applicable law.

TurtlesEgg may remove or disable content alleged to infringe intellectual-property rights and may suspend or terminate repeat infringers in accordance with applicable law and TurtlesEgg’s intellectual-property policies.

Back to menu

38. Ratings, Reviews and Seller Feedback

Customer ratings, reviews, photographs, videos, and other feedback may appear in connection with Seller, Products, or Services.

TurtlesEgg does not guarantee that reviews will be favorable or that every review will be accurate. TurtlesEgg may moderate, remove, restrict, or decline to publish content where reasonably necessary to enforce Marketplace policies, protect integrity, address fraud, comply with law, or address prohibited content.

Seller may not manipulate ratings or reviews, purchase false reviews, retaliate against Customers for lawful reviews, or condition Customer service on removal of a truthful review.

Back to menu

39. Communications and Electronic Records

Seller agrees to receive account, transaction, compliance, legal, security, payout, tax, operational, and other communications electronically through email, SellerHub, Marketplace notifications, text messages where authorized, or other reasonable electronic methods.

Electronic agreements, notices, disclosures, confirmations, and records provided by TurtlesEgg have the same legal effect as written communications.

Seller is responsible for maintaining current email, telephone, business, legal-notice, and other contact information.

Marketing communications remain subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

Back to menu

40. Records, Audit and Regulatory Cooperation

Seller must maintain reasonable records necessary to substantiate Seller’s Marketplace transactions and legal compliance, including records concerning fulfillment, delivery, licensing, tax, customer complaints, Services, and transaction evidence.

Seller must reasonably cooperate with TurtlesEgg concerning Customer disputes, refunds, chargebacks, fraud investigations, fulfillment, shipping, Booking completion, tax matters, acquiring-bank reviews, processor reviews, payment-network inquiries, payout-provider reviews, insurance matters, and governmental or regulatory requests.

Back to menu

41. Licenses, Permits, Insurance and Professional Requirements

Seller is solely responsible for maintaining all licenses, permits, registrations, professional qualifications, certifications, and insurance legally required for Seller’s Products or Services.

A Seller offering a regulated, professional, licensed, health-related, personal-care, or other restricted Service must maintain all requirements applicable to that activity.

TurtlesEgg may request proof of licensing, insurance, registration, or qualification and may suspend a listing, Booking, settlement, or account pending verification.

Back to menu

42. Suspension and Termination

TurtlesEgg may suspend, restrict, or terminate Seller’s Marketplace privileges where reasonably necessary because of material breach of this Agreement, fraud or suspected fraud, unlawful activity, account compromise, unacceptable payment or financial risk, repeated Customer harm, repeated Seller cancellations, excessive refund or dispute activity, inaccurate Seller information, licensing deficiencies, payout-security concerns, processor or acquiring-bank requirements, payment-network requirements, governmental requirements, or other material Marketplace-protection concerns.

Suspension or termination does not eliminate existing Seller obligations, accelerate pending settlement, release Reserves, eliminate refunds or chargebacks, eliminate negative Seller obligations, prevent investigation, waive rights arising before termination, or prevent TurtlesEgg from completing required Customer remedies.

Back to menu

43. Account Closure and Reserve Release

Seller may request account closure subject to outstanding Marketplace obligations.

Closing, suspending, or terminating a Seller account does not immediately release the Minimum Seller Reserve or any additional risk reserve.

TurtlesEgg may maintain applicable Reserves until all relevant Product transactions, deliveries, return periods, refund periods, Bookings, cancellations, Customer claims, cardholder disputes, card-network dispute periods, chargebacks, fraud reviews, investigations, and other Seller-related financial exposures have been resolved or adequately provided for.

After all Seller obligations have been satisfied, any remaining amount eligible for settlement will be released through TurtlesEgg’s approved payout process.

Back to menu

44. Unclaimed Seller Property

Seller must maintain accurate and current contact, address, tax, and payout information.

If a Seller Settlement Amount or other property becomes payable but remains unclaimed, cannot be delivered, or remains uncollected after account closure, TurtlesEgg will handle, report, and remit that property in accordance with the unclaimed-property laws of the jurisdiction legally entitled to custody of that property.

Back to menu

45. Survival of Seller Obligations

Provisions that by their nature should survive suspension, termination, or account closure will survive, including refunds, returns, chargebacks, card-network disputes, Seller cancellation costs, repayment obligations, negative Seller obligations, Reserves, tax and information-reporting obligations, privacy duties, confidentiality duties, intellectual-property rights, indemnification, limitation-of-liability provisions, fraud investigations, unclaimed-property obligations, and dispute-resolution provisions.

Back to menu

46. Confidentiality and Nonpublic Marketplace Information

Seller may receive nonpublic information concerning SellerHub, Marketplace operations, fraud controls, security procedures, pricing tools, technical functionality, APIs, customers, financial processes, or other confidential TurtlesEgg information.

Seller must use such nonpublic information only as reasonably necessary to use the Marketplace and must not disclose or misuse it except as authorized by TurtlesEgg or required by law.

This Section does not restrict information that Seller can demonstrate was lawfully public through no breach of this Agreement, was already lawfully known without confidentiality duty, or was independently developed without use of TurtlesEgg confidential information.

Back to menu

47. Warranty Disclaimer

THIS SECTION IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

THE MARKETPLACE, SELLERHUB, SOFTWARE, INTEGRATIONS, REPORTS, MARKETING TOOLS, PAYMENT-RELATED TECHNOLOGY, AND OTHER TURTLESEGG SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

AS PERMITTED BY LAW, TURTLESEGG DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

TURTLESEGG DOES NOT GUARANTEE MINIMUM SALES, BOOKINGS, TRAFFIC, PROFITABILITY, CONTINUOUS OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE, UNINTERRUPTED THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS, APPROVAL OR CONTINUED SERVICE BY A PARTICULAR PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDER, EXACT PAYOUT TIMING WHERE AN AUTHORIZED DELAY APPLIES, OR THAT FRAUD OR SECURITY CONTROLS WILL PREVENT EVERY FRAUDULENT OR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION ELIMINATES TURTLESEGG’S OBLIGATION TO PAY A VALID SELLER SETTLEMENT AMOUNT AFTER ALL APPLICABLE SETTLEMENT CONDITIONS AND AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

Back to menu

48. Limitation of Liability

AS PERMITTED BY LAW, TURTLESEGG AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE MARKETPLACE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

AS PERMITTED BY LAW, TURTLESEGG’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO SELLER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY SELLER TO TURTLESEGG DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The foregoing cap does not reduce a valid Seller Settlement Amount that TurtlesEgg is contractually obligated to pay after all applicable settlement conditions and authorized adjustments have been satisfied.

Back to menu

49. Indemnification

Seller agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Turtles Egg Inc., its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, Payment Service Providers, and other service providers from and against third-party claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or relating to:

  • Seller’s Products or Services;
  • Seller’s listings, Seller Content, or advertising;
  • Seller’s fulfillment or failure to fulfill;
  • Seller-caused Customer claims, refunds, chargebacks, injuries, or property damage;
  • Seller’s violation of law, licensing, professional, tax, privacy, sanctions, or regulatory obligations;
  • infringement of third-party rights by Seller or Seller Content;
  • Seller’s misuse of Customer information;
  • Seller’s fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or security failures; or
  • Seller’s breach of this Agreement.

TurtlesEgg may assume control of the defense of a matter subject to indemnification, in which event Seller will reasonably cooperate. Nothing in this Section requires Seller to indemnify TurtlesEgg for liability that applicable law prohibits TurtlesEgg from shifting to Seller.

Back to menu

50. Force Majeure

TurtlesEgg will not be liable for delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, pandemics, government action, sanctions, utility outages, telecommunications or internet failures, cyberattacks not caused by TurtlesEgg’s willful misconduct, banking or payment-network outages, Payment Service Provider failures, transportation or carrier delays, or shortages of energy, labor, or materials.

This Section does not excuse payment of amounts already due where performance remains legally and technically possible.

Back to menu

51. Changes to Services, Providers and Seller Terms

51.1 Service and Provider Changes

TurtlesEgg may change its acquiring bank, processor, payment gateway, financial institution, payout provider, fraud provider, tax provider, technical provider, or other service provider. A provider change does not alter Seller’s fundamental contractual payment collection and Seller settlement relationship with TurtlesEgg.

51.2 Changes to Seller Terms

TurtlesEgg may update this Agreement at any time, including by modifying, supplementing, adding to, or removing provisions of this Agreement or policies incorporated into it.

TurtlesEgg may provide notice of an update by any reasonable means, including by posting the updated Agreement through the Marketplace or SellerHub, by sending notice to Seller’s registered email address, or by another Marketplace notification. For a material update, TurtlesEgg will make the updated Agreement available through the Marketplace or SellerHub and will also send notice to Seller’s registered email address or provide a SellerHub account notice.

An update becomes effective on the date stated in the applicable notice or updated Agreement. If no later effective date is stated, the update becomes effective when posted. By continuing to access, use, or engage with the Marketplace after an update becomes effective, Seller is deemed to have accepted the updated Agreement.

Continued use includes accessing SellerHub for ongoing Seller activity, maintaining or publishing listings, accepting or fulfilling orders, accepting or performing Bookings, initiating new Marketplace activity, using Marketplace Seller services, or receiving settlement or payout services arising from continued Marketplace activity.

Seller is responsible for maintaining a current registered email address and for reviewing updates made available through the Marketplace or SellerHub. Seller’s failure to open or read a notice does not delay the stated effective date of an update.

If Seller does not agree to an update, Seller must discontinue use of the Marketplace and request closure or deactivation of Seller’s account before the update becomes effective. Account closure or discontinuation does not eliminate outstanding orders, Bookings, refunds, returns, chargebacks, Reserves, Seller settlement adjustments, repayment obligations, tax obligations, investigations, or other obligations that survive under this Agreement.

TurtlesEgg may make an update effective immediately when reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, account security, cybersecurity, Marketplace integrity, payment-network or financial-institution requirements, governmental or regulatory requirements, or another urgent operational or financial risk.

No amendment proposed by Seller will bind TurtlesEgg unless set forth in a writing executed by an authorized representative of TurtlesEgg.

52. Binding Arbitration, Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver

PLEASE REVIEW THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND INCLUDES CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS.

52.1 Covered Disputes

Except for the exclusions stated below, “Dispute” means any claim, controversy, or dispute between Seller and TurtlesEgg arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Marketplace, Seller’s account, Products, Services, Bookings, listings, payment collection, Seller settlement, Reserves, refunds, chargebacks, fees, payouts, privacy, advertising, communications, suspension, termination, or any aspect of the Seller relationship, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or another legal theory and whether arising before or after termination.

52.2 Informal Notice Before Arbitration

Before initiating arbitration, the party asserting a Dispute must provide the other party written notice describing the nature of the Dispute and requested relief and allow at least thirty (30) days for good-faith efforts to resolve the matter.

52.3 Binding Individual Arbitration

Except for claims that may properly be brought in small claims court and claims seeking temporary or emergency injunctive relief concerning intellectual property, confidentiality, fraud, account security, or unauthorized access, any unresolved Dispute will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will proceed under the JAMS rules applicable to the commercial dispute, including the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures where applicable.

The arbitration will take place in or near Collier County, Florida, or remotely if agreed by the parties or directed under applicable rules.

52.4 Arbitrator Authority

The arbitrator, and not a court, will have authority to resolve disputes concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court may determine the enforceability of the class and representative action waiver to the extent applicable law requires.

The arbitrator may award any individual remedy available under applicable law and this Agreement and will issue a written award.

52.5 Class, Collective and Representative Action Waiver

SELLER AND TURTLESEGG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PARTICIPANT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one Seller or preside over any class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding unless TurtlesEgg expressly agrees in writing.

52.6 Jury Trial Waiver

SELLER AND TURTLESEGG WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR DISPUTES REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED.

52.7 Arbitration Costs

Arbitration fees and costs will be allocated under the applicable JAMS rules. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and expert costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise under the governing rules or law.

52.8 Survival

This arbitration agreement, class and representative action waiver, and jury trial waiver survive suspension, termination, account closure, and expiration of this Agreement.

52.9 Future Amendments to this Arbitration Agreement

A future material amendment to this Section 52 will be governed by the update and notice procedures in Section 51. TurtlesEgg will make the amended Section available through the Marketplace or SellerHub and will send notice to Seller’s registered email address or provide a SellerHub account notice.

A material amendment to this Section will not apply to a Dispute formally filed in arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction before the amendment’s stated effective date. The amendment will apply to all other Disputes governed by this Agreement.

Seller’s continued access to or use of the Marketplace after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended arbitration terms.

If Seller does not agree to the amendment, Seller must discontinue use of the Marketplace and request account closure before the amendment becomes effective, subject to outstanding and surviving obligations.

53. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement and any Dispute not subject to arbitration are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s law.

For any action not subject to arbitration or eligible for small claims court, Seller and TurtlesEgg consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts located in Collier County, Florida, or the applicable federal court serving that jurisdiction.

56. Export Controls, Sanctions and Restricted Parties

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force to the maximum extent permitted by law.

TurtlesEgg’s failure to enforce a provision in one instance does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later.
