Cartfly.com is the long overdue full solution to your e-commerce and social networking needs. Ustrive Inc. offers services and features (“Services”) through the domain www.ustrive.com and www.cartfly.com and related sub-domains (referred to individually and jointly as the “Site”). We want everyone to be successful, profitable and happy. All we ask is that the selling community conduct themselves in a professional manner. This is a place that the buyer and seller can benefit equally. By using the Services offered through the Site, you (“you”, the “Seller” or “Sellers” within this document) are accepting and agreeing to (“your acceptance”) the “Terms of Use” (the “terms”) outlined in this document (the “Seller’s Agreement”). If you do not agree to the terms of this Seller’s Agreement, then do not use the Site or the Services offered on the Site to individuals that wish to sell products, advertising and/or services.
General Terms of Selling Products and Services on the Site
When a Seller lists an item or product for sale on cartfly.com or ustrive.com and buyer purchases that item, the Seller and buyer have entered into a contract. Both members are expected to honor that contract. In accordance with that contract, the Seller may not:
-
Fail to deliver an item for which payment was accepted.
-
Significantly misrepresent an item by not meeting the terms and item description outlined in the listing.
-
Refuse to accept payment for an item after a successful sale.
Further, Sellers are expected to perform in a manner which will result in a consistently high level of buyer satisfaction. If a Seller's interactions with the cartfly.com or ustrive.com community create unacceptable levels of buyer dissatisfaction, then that Seller has violated this policy.
Violations of this policy by a Seller may result in a range of actions, including:
-
Product or service listing cancellation
-
Account privileges revoked
-
Account suspension
-
Administration Frozen
-
Referral to Law Enforcement
Item Not Received Policy and Not As Described Policy
Ustrive’s “Item Not Received or Not as Described” policy requires Sellers to deliver items they have sold on cartfly.com or ustrive.com and have received payment for. Sellers who fail to deliver items to buyers, or who deliver items which are "not as described", may face possible account restriction and suspension. An item is considered "not as described" if the Seller clearly misrepresents the item in a way that directly affects its value or usability. In some cases, Ustrive Inc. will also contact and cooperate with law enforcement to penalize fraudulent Sellers.
Order Fulfillment is YOUR Responsibility
Seller agrees that it is the Seller’s full responsibility to fulfill all product and service orders listed and paid for within their cartfly.com or ustrive.com store. Seller acknowledges that Ustrive Inc., cartfly.com and ustrive.com holds no liability and accepts no responsibility for order fulfillment or shipping demands.
Fees and Services (Sellers)
Transaction fee billing cycle is one calendar month. Monthly transaction charges will be assessed on monthly sales activity. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. A fee of .03% (subject to change) will be assessed per transaction through your personal store.
Account holder will be notified of the total balance payable to cartfly.com or ustrive.com via email (email address provided upon account creation) or notified in the administrative section of his/her ustrive profile. The user agrees they are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with the items sold within their ustrive site(s) in a timely manner (up to 21 days) with a valid PayPal payment method. Accounts 30 days past due will have no administrative control over his/her profile. For accounts over 45 days past due, account holder’s personal store will be frozen until amount in full is paid to Ustrive Inc. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. (This includes charging other retaining collection agencies and legal counsel)
Joining cartfly.com or ustrive.com and listing or buying items is free. We do charge fees for using other Services, such as a fee per transaction for Seller which we may change from time to time. Changes to this policy are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen days' notice by posting the changes on the Site. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our Services for promotional events (for example, free listing days) or new Services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the Site.
To request change in email address notification please email us at account@ustrive.com.
Notice and Opportunity to Cure
In the event Ustrive Inc. or Cartfly.com shall conclude (on its own or as the result of communication from a buyer or web site user) that Seller has violated any provision of this Agreement, then Ustrive.com shall notify Seller of the violation. Seller shall have 20 calendar days from the date of notice to cure the violation to the satisfaction of ustrive.com. In the event the Seller has not cured the violation within this 20 day period, then Ustrive.com may take any one or more of the following actions:
-

All products should be shipped within 7 to 14 business days after the related sale occurs unless agreed to otherwise by the Seller and buyer. Anything shipped late may constitute a violation of this policy. Violations of this policy by a Seller may result in a range of actions, including:
-
Product or service listing cancellation
-
Account privileges revoked
-
Account suspension
-
Administration Frozen
Excessive Shipping Charging Policy
Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the items they sell. While cartfly.com or ustrive.com will not prescribe exactly what a seller may or may not charge, cartfly.com or ustrive.com will rely on member reports and its own discretion to determine whether a seller’s shipping, handling, packaging, and/or insurance charges are excessive. Shipping and handling fees may not be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. Sellers who want to be sure they are in compliance with this policy may charge actual shipping costs plus actual packaging materials cost (or less). In addition to the final listing price, sellers are permitted to charge:
Actual shipping cost: This is the actual cost (i.e. postage) for shipping the item.
Handling fee: Actual packaging materials costs may be charged. A handling fee in addition to actual shipping cost may be charged if it is not excessive.
Tax: Only actual applicable federal, state, country, city, VAT, and equivalent taxes may be charged.

What is a copyright?
A copyright is the legal protection given in the United States to original
works of authorship. Copyrights protect books, paintings, photos, music,
video, software and so forth. Copyright protection attaches to a work the
moment it is fixed in tangible form (on paper, on video,. etc.) and prevents
others from using the work without permission.
Copyright is a bundle of rights
A copyright is a bundle of rights, including the exclusive right to distribute, sell, duplicate, publicly perform, and create derivative works from the work. Copyright for newer works lasts for at least 70 years, depending upon whether the author is a person or a company. The length of copyright protection for older works is often difficult to determine. The fact that a work is old doesn't necessarily mean that the copyright on it has expired. Until the end of the term of protection, a copyright owner has the right to sell, transfer, assign, or license one or all of these exclusive rights to someone else.
Copyright registrations and markings
In the United States, you do not need to register a copyright in order to
benefit from copyright protections, although you may have to register your
copyright if you want to file a legal action concerning your copyright. It is
also not necessary to place a © on the copyrighted work, but it is a good idea
to do so. The absence of a © doesn't mean its okay to copy a work without
permission.
Resale of copyrighted works
Under the copyright laws, the owner of a particular copy of a copyrighted work
is generally entitled to resell the particular copy they own. For example, if
you purchase a copy of a DVD movie, you are allowed to resell that particular
DVD. Copyright protection prevents you from copying the DVD movie and
reselling the copies. If you have licensed the right to use a particular
copyrighted item, you should review the license and consult with your attorney
to determine whether you can resell the item.
Selling versus giving away an item
Copyright protection includes the exclusive right to distribute the
copyrighted work. This usually means that giving away an unauthorized copy of
a copyrighted work (for example a duplicated copy of a videocassette) is not
permitted. Thus, selling a pencil for $5.00, and including for "free" an
unauthorized DVD copy would probably be against the law.
Rights of publicity
Similarly, putting someone’s face, image, name or signature on a product being
sold is prohibited by
California's
"Right of Publicity"
law
and some privacy laws. Thus, using a celebrity’s photograph for a commercial
purpose may violate that celebrity's right of publicity, even if the picture
was taken by the seller and the seller owns the copyright.
Notices
Except as explicitly stated otherwise, legal notices shall be served on Ustrive Inc.’s statutory agent. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to the address you provided during the registration process. In such case, notice shall be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.
