Zurno Vendor General Contract
General Terms
Welcome to Zurno Services Business Solutions, a collection of optional services designed for sellers. These include Selling on Zurno, Fulfillment by Zurno, Transaction Processing Services, and the Marketplace Web Service. THIS ZURNO SERVICES BUSINESS SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT") SETS FORTH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THESE SERVICES. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE BETWEEN YOU (OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT) AND ZURNO. BY REGISTERING FOR OR UTILIZING ANY OF THE SERVICES, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE BUSINESS ENTITY YOU REPRESENT, AGREE TO COMPLY WITH AND BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OUTLINED HEREIN, INCLUDING ANY SERVICE TERMS AND PROGRAM POLICIES RELEVANT TO EACH COUNTRY WHERE YOU REGISTER OR CHOOSE TO USE A SERVICE (EACH REFERRED TO AS AN "ELECTED COUNTRY"). For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms "we," "our," and "Zurno" refer to the applicable Zurno Contracting Entity and its Affiliates. "You" refers to the individual registering for or using a Service or, where applicable, the business entity employing that individual, along with its Affiliates. Defined terms within this Agreement carry the specific meanings assigned to them herein. In the event of any conflict between provisions, the Program Policies will take precedence over both the General Terms and any applicable Service Terms, while specific Service Terms will override the General Terms.
1. Enrollment
To initiate your enrollment, you are required to complete the registration process for one or more of the Services. Eligibility to use the Services is restricted to individuals or entities that are legally capable of entering into binding contracts under applicable law (for instance, certain jurisdictions, such as an Elected Country, may prohibit minors from accessing the Services).
During the registration process, you must provide accurate and current information, including your (or your business’s) legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to suspend or discontinue the provision of any or all of the Services at any time.
2. Service Fees, Payment Processing, and Sales Proceeds
The fees applicable to your use of the Services are outlined in the relevant Service Terms and Program Policies. You are solely responsible for covering all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement.
To access and utilize any Service, you must provide Zurno with valid credit card details from one or more credit cards acceptable to us ("Your Credit Card") and accurate banking information for an account or accounts that meet Zurno’s acceptance criteria (which may be changed or revoked at our discretion without prior notice) ("Your Bank Account"). You agree to use only names and payment information that you are legally authorized to use in connection with the Services
and to update all provided information promptly to ensure its accuracy, completeness, and validity at all times.
By entering into this Agreement, you grant Zurno the authority to:
-
Verify the accuracy of the information you’ve provided, including through updated submissions,
-
Request and review credit reports concerning you periodically,
-
Obtain credit authorizations from the issuer of Your Credit Card, and
-
Charge Your Credit Card or debit Your Bank Account for any amounts you owe Zurno, whether as reimbursement or otherwise.
All payments due to you will be deposited directly into Your Bank Account via banking networks or other payment methods specified by Zurno. If we determine, at our sole discretion, that your activities may lead to issues such as product returns, chargebacks, customer disputes, policy violations, or pose other financial or reputational risks to Zurno or third parties, we reserve the right to withhold payments to you until such risks are resolved to our satisfaction. In the event you owe any outstanding amounts to Zurno, we may collect these funds by:
(a) Charging Your Credit Card or any alternative payment method you’ve provided, (b) Offsetting the owed amounts against payments we owe to you, (c) Issuing an invoice, which you agree to pay upon receipt,
(d) Reversing any credits previously applied to Your Bank Account, or (e) Pursuing other lawful collection methods as necessary.
Should we determine that your account has been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal purposes, Zurno reserves the right to permanently withhold any funds owed to you.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all financial amounts referenced in this Agreement will be denominated in the Local Currency, and all payments will be processed accordingly.
To mitigate risks associated with returns, chargebacks, disputes, or policy violations, Zurno may, at its discretion, require you to maintain certain reserves or security deposits. These amounts may be refundable or non-refundable based on your compliance with the Agreement and Program Policies. Failure to adhere to the terms may result in the forfeiture of these funds.
For security purposes, Zurno may impose transaction limits on sellers or customers, including restrictions on the value of individual transactions, cumulative transactions within specific timeframes, or the total number of transactions per day or other periods. Zurno will not be held liable if: (i) A transaction or payment is declined because it exceeds established security thresholds, or
(ii) A customer cancels a transaction due to a Service or Zurno platform being unavailable after the transaction has been initiated.

3. Term and Termination
This Agreement becomes effective on the date you complete your registration for, or first begin using, any Service—whichever happens first—and will remain in effect until either party terminates it as outlined herein (the "Term"). Zurno reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement, or any specific Service, at any time and for any reason, by providing you with notice. Similarly, you may choose to terminate this Agreement or discontinue any Service at your discretion, using the termination procedures specified by Zurno at the time. The suspension or termination of one Service does not automatically affect the status of any other Service unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of both parties will cease, with the exception of provisions that are intended to survive termination. Specifically, Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 18 will remain in effect. Additionally, any provisions outlined in the applicable Service Terms that are expressly designated to survive termination will continue to be enforceable after the Agreement ends.
4. License
By entering into this Agreement, you grant Zurno a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, reformat, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit Your Materials for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, in any manner we deem appropriate. This license also includes the right for Zurno to sublicense these rights to its Affiliates and operators of Zurno-associated properties.
However, Zurno agrees not to modify any of Your Trademarks from the original form you provided, except where resizing is necessary for display purposes— provided that the relative proportions of the trademarks remain intact. Additionally, we will honor any requests you make to remove specific uses of Your Trademarks, as long as such removal cannot be managed directly by you through the tools or settings available within the applicable Zurno platform or Service. Nothing in this Agreement restricts or limits Zurno’s ability to use Your Materials without your permission if such use is permitted under applicable law without requiring a license from you or your Affiliates. This includes, but is not limited to, uses allowed under doctrines such as fair use (under U.S. copyright law), referential use (under trademark law), or any valid licenses obtained from third parties.
5. Representations and Warranties
By entering into this Agreement, you represent and warrant to Zurno that: (a) Business Status: If you are operating as a business entity, you are duly formed, legally existing, and in good standing under the laws of the country where
your business is registered. Additionally, you confirm that you are registering for the Service(s) within that same country.
(b) Authority and Capacity: You possess the full legal right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement, fulfill your obligations under it, and grant all rights, licenses, and permissions as specified herein.
(c) Accuracy of Information: All information provided by you or your Affiliates to Zurno or its Affiliates is, and will remain, truthful, accurate, current, and complete at all times.
(d) Legal Compliance: You, along with any subcontractors, agents, or suppliers engaged by you, will fully comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and legal requirements in the performance of your obligations and the exercise of your rights under this Agreement.
6. Indemnification
You agree to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Zurno, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, settlements, costs, expenses, or other liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
(collectively referred to as a "Claim") that arise from or are related to: (a) Breach of Agreement: Any actual or alleged violation of your obligations under this Agreement;
(b) Your Business Activities: Any of your sales channels outside of Zurno Sites and Zurno-associated properties, your products (including their marketing, sale, performance, and fulfillment), your materials, any actual or alleged infringement of intellectual property rights related to the foregoing, and any personal injury, death, or property damage associated therewith;
(c) Personnel Actions: Actions or omissions of your personnel, including any claims made by or on behalf of your personnel;
(d) Tax Obligations: Any tax liabilities or obligations attributable to your business activities.
You are required to engage legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Zurno to defend against each Claim covered under this indemnification. Zurno reserves the right, at its sole discretion and expense, to assume control of the defense if it determines that a Claim could have an adverse effect on Zurno. Additionally, you may not agree to any settlement or consent to a judgment related to a Claim without Zurno’s prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
7. Disclaimer and General Release
a. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Zurno Sites and Services—including all related content, software, functions, materials, and information provided or made available in connection with the Services—are offered strictly on an "as-is" basis. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Zurno and its Affiliates expressly disclaim:

Zurno does not guarantee that the features or functions provided through the Zurno Sites or Services will meet your requirements, nor do we guarantee their availability, timeliness, security, uninterrupted operation, or error-free performance. Zurno is not liable for any interruptions or failures in service, including but not limited to system outages, disruptions, or delays that may affect the initiation, processing, acceptance, completion, or settlement of any transactions.
b. General Release
Since Zurno is not directly involved in transactions between customers, sellers, or other participants, you agree that in the event of a dispute between one or more parties, you release Zurno—along with its agents, employees, and Affiliates—from any and all claims, demands, damages (both actual and consequential), and liabilities of every kind and nature. This release applies to known and unknown claims, suspected and unsuspected issues, as well as disclosed and undisclosed matters, that may arise from or be connected in any way to such disputes.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zurno shall not be liable—whether under contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, product liability, or any other legal theory), or otherwise—for any of the following: \
-
The cost of cover, recovery, or recoupment of any investment made by you or your Affiliates in connection with this Agreement;
-
Any loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, or data; or
-
Punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to this Agreement, even if Zurno has been advised of the potential for such costs or damages.
In addition, Zurno’s total cumulative liability arising from or relating to this Agreement, including any transactions or Services provided under it, shall never exceed the total amount you paid to Zurno for the specific Service that gave rise to the claim during the six (6) months immediately preceding the event that led to the liability.
9. Insurance
If your gross proceeds from transactions exceed the applicable Insurance Threshold for any given month during a rolling period of three (3) consecutive months, or if specifically requested by Zurno, you are required—within thirty (30) days of meeting either condition—to obtain and maintain, at your own expense, commercial general liability insurance, which may include umbrella or excess liability coverage. This insurance must remain in effect for the duration of the Term and apply to each relevant Elected Country.
Your insurance policy must meet the following requirements:
-
Provide coverage for liabilities arising from or related to the operation of your business, including products liability, completed operations, and bodily injury;
-
Meet or exceed the specified Insurance Limits for both per occurrence and aggregate coverage;
-
List Zurno and its assignees as additional insured parties.
Upon request, you agree to provide Zurno with certificates of insurance evidencing this coverage. These certificates should be sent to the following address:

Attention: Risk Management
10. Tax Matters
You are solely responsible for the collection, reporting, and payment of all taxes, duties, and related charges applicable to your business activities (“Your Taxes”), unless Zurno has expressly agreed in writing to collect and remit such taxes on your behalf through specific tax calculation services that Zurno provides and you utilize.
You agree to adhere to and fully comply with all applicable Tax Policies as outlined by Zurno.
All fees that you owe to Zurno under this Agreement or any applicable Service Terms are exclusive of taxes. This means you are responsible for paying Zurno any of Your Taxes that are imposed on these fees, in addition to the fees themselves.
11. Confidentiality
In the course of using the Services, you may gain access to information related to Zurno or the Services, including but not limited to Zurno Transaction Information, that is not publicly available ("Confidential Information"). By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
-
(a) All Confidential Information is and will remain the exclusive property of Zurno.
-
(b) You will use Confidential Information solely for purposes necessary to participate in the Services.
-
(c) You will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party unless expressly permitted under this Agreement.
-
(d) You will implement and maintain reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
Additionally, you agree that you will not issue press releases, make public statements related to the Services, or use Zurno’s name, trademarks, or logos in any capacity—including promotional materials—without obtaining Zurno’s prior written consent. You also agree not to misrepresent or exaggerate the nature of your relationship with Zurno in any way.
12. Force Majeure
Zurno shall not be held responsible or liable for any delay or failure to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure results from circumstances beyond Zurno’s reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to, events such as natural disasters, acts of government, strikes, labor disputes, power outages, internet or communication failures, pandemics, wars, terrorism, or any other unforeseen events that prevent or hinder performance.
13. Relationship of the Parties
Except as otherwise specified under the Transaction Processing Service Terms (applicable if the Elected Country for a Service is the United States), both you and Zurno operate as independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as creating any form of partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. You have no authority to make or accept offers, enter into agreements, or make representations on behalf of Zurno. Additionally, this Agreement does not establish an exclusive relationship between you and Zurno, meaning both parties are free to engage with other businesses and entities without restriction. No provision within this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, grant any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim to any third party outside of the parties explicitly involved—namely, Zurno, you, and customers. All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, and obligations set forth in this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive benefit of these parties. Furthermore, you remain fully responsible for any obligations arising from the use of third-party services or features that you authorize Zurno to utilize on your behalf. This includes ensuring compliance with any applicable terms of use related to such third-party services.
Lastly, you agree not to make any statements, whether on your website or through other channels, that would conflict with or contradict the terms outlined in this section
14. Use of Zurno Transaction Information
You agree that neither you nor your Affiliates will, directly or indirectly: (a) Disclose Zurno Transaction Information to any third party, except when such
disclosure is strictly necessary for fulfilling your obligations under this Agreement. In such cases, you must ensure that the recipient uses the information solely for that specific purpose and complies with all restrictions applicable to you regarding that information.
(b) Use Zurno Transaction Information for any marketing, advertising, or promotional activities, or in any manner that conflicts with Zurno’s or your own privacy policies, or violates any applicable laws or regulations.
(c) Contact individuals who have purchased your products with the intent to collect additional payments related to those transactions or to influence them to engage in alternative transactions outside of the Zurno platform. (d) Make disparaging remarks about Zurno, its Affiliates, their products or services, or any Zurno customers in any form of communication. (e) Target communications specifically because the intended recipient is a user of Zurno Sites.
Furthermore, you are only permitted to communicate with Zurno Site users regarding your transactions through the tools and channels explicitly provided or approved by Zurno. This includes communications related to scheduling, updating, or canceling the fulfillment of your products.
This section does not restrict your ability to use information that you have obtained independently, without reference to Zurno Transaction Information, for any purpose—even if that information happens to be identical to Zurno Transaction Information. However, under no circumstances may you target communications based on the recipient’s status as a Zurno Site user.
15. Suggestions and Information Disclosure
If you or any of your Affiliates choose to provide Zurno with suggestions, feedback, comments, ideas, improvements, or other materials related to any Zurno Site, Service, or associated technology, you agree that Zurno will have the unrestricted right to use, disclose, reproduce, modify, license, transfer, distribute, and otherwise exploit such information in any manner, without any obligation to compensate you.
Additionally, to comply with legal or regulatory requests, safeguard our systems and customers, or maintain the security, integrity, and proper functioning of our business operations and infrastructure, Zurno may access, review, and disclose any information it deems necessary. This may include, but is not limited to:
-
User contact details
-
IP addresses and traffic data
-
Usage history
-
Posted content
This section ensures Zurno’s ability to responsibly manage its platforms while respecting legal obligations and operational needs.

Such changes will take effect immediately upon being posted on Seller Central, or any relevant Zurno platform. It is your responsibility to regularly review these platforms to stay informed about any updates, modifications, or notices. For changes to the General Terms and Service Terms, Zurno will provide notice by posting the updates for a minimum of 30 days prior to their effective date. However, Zurno may implement changes to Program Policies without prior notice. We strongly recommend that you frequently refer to Seller Central and the ZWS Site to review the most current version of the Agreement, including any updated Service Terms and Program Policies, to ensure your products and services remain compliant with Zurno’s requirements.
Your continued use of any Zurno Service after changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of those modifications, regardless of whether you have actively reviewed the updates.
17. Password Security
Any password provided to you by Zurno is intended for your exclusive use during the Term of this Agreement. It grants access to Seller Central, or other tools we may provide, allowing you to utilize the Services, electronically process transactions, and review completed activities related to your account. You are solely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality and security of your password. You must not share your password with any third party, except for individuals you have expressly authorized to access your account in accordance with this Agreement.
You are fully accountable for all activities conducted under your password, including any actions taken by authorized or unauthorized users. In the event you suspect that your password has been compromised or accessed without authorization, you must immediately update your password to secure your account.

Zurno Selling Service Terms
The Zurno Selling Service ("Selling with Zurno") enables you to market and sell specified products and services directly through Zurno’s platforms. These Zurno Selling Service Terms are incorporated into the broader Agreement and apply exclusively to your involvement in the Selling with Zurno program, unless explicitly stated otherwise. BY ENROLLING IN OR UTILIZING THE ZURNO SELLING SERVICE, YOU (EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR BUSINESS) CONSENT TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THESE SPECIFIC SELLING SERVICE TERMS.
However, if you have separately entered into an agreement that authorizes you to list your products on a specific Zurno platform (such as a merchants@zurno.com program agreement, program agreement, or any prior versions of such agreements), then for as long as you continue to list and sell products under that separate agreement, the transactions related to your products on that specific Zurno platform—and any associated tax services we provide under that arrangement—shall be governed by the terms of that separate agreement, not by these Zurno Selling Service Terms.
B-1. Your Product Listings and Orders
B-1.1 Products and Product Information.
You are required to submit accurate and complete Required Product Information for each product or service you intend to offer through any Zurno Platform, using the format we specify. It is your responsibility to promptly update this information
whenever necessary to ensure it remains accurate and complete at all times. Additionally, you must ensure that Your Materials, Your Products (including their packaging), as well as your offers and subsequent sales of these products or services on any Zurno Platform, fully comply with all applicable Laws—including, but not limited to, minimum age restrictions, product marking, and labeling requirements. Under no circumstances may Your Materials contain sexually explicit content (unless expressly permitted under applicable Program Policies), defamatory content, or obscene materials.
You are strictly prohibited from:
Providing any information related to, or attempting to list, Excluded

Supplying any URL Marks for use on Zurno Platforms, or requesting that
●
any URL Marks be displayed on Zurno Platforms.
B-1.2 Product Listing; Merchandising; Order Processing
We will provide you with the capability to list Your Products on designated Zurno Platforms and to engage in merchandising and promotional activities for Your Products as authorized by us. This may include promotions through Zurno Associated Properties or via any other features, functions, advertising channels, or programs connected to the relevant Zurno Platform.
We may implement systems that rate—or allow customers to rate—both Your Products and your performance as a seller. Zurno reserves the right to make such ratings and customer feedback publicly available.
For every order of Your Products placed through the applicable Zurno Platform, we will supply you with the corresponding Order Information. Additionally, we will collect all Sales Proceeds from these transactions on your behalf, retain exclusive rights to do so, and disburse these proceeds to you in accordance with the terms outlined in these Zurno Selling Service Terms.
B-1.3 Shipping and Handling Charges
For Your Products ordered by customers on or through a Zurno Platform that are not fulfilled using Zurno Fulfillment Services, you are responsible for setting the applicable shipping and handling charges, subject to our Program Policies and standard platform functionality. This includes compliance with any category specific shipping and handling fees we establish, such as those applicable to sellers on the Individual Selling Plan. In cases where Zurno determines the shipping and handling charges, you agree to accept these amounts as full and final payment for all shipping and handling costs related to the corresponding orders.
For details regarding shipping and handling for products fulfilled through Zurno Fulfillment Services, please refer to the Zurno Fulfillment Service Terms.
B-1.4 Credit Card Fraud
Zurno will assume the risk of credit card fraud (i.e., fraudulent transactions resulting from the theft and unauthorized use of a third party’s credit card information) related to Your Transactions, except for transactions involving Seller-Fulfilled Products that are not fulfilled strictly in accordance with the provided Order Information and Shipment Information. In such cases, you will be responsible for any resulting fraud or loss.
You will also bear all other risks associated with fraud or loss not specifically covered above.
At our sole discretion, Zurno reserves the right to withhold transactions for investigation, refuse to process orders, restrict shipping destinations, halt, and/or cancel any of Your Transactions. If we instruct you to stop or cancel an order for Your Products, you are required to comply promptly. If the product has already been transferred to a carrier or shipper at the time of our request, you must make commercially reasonable efforts to stop or cancel the delivery. For any order that we stop or cancel after the customer has been charged, you are obligated to issue a refund to the customer in accordance with Section S-2.2.
B-2 Sale and Fulfillment; Refunds and Returns.
B-2.1 Sale and Fulfillment
Except as otherwise outlined in the Zurno Fulfillment Service Terms for each Zurno Platform where you are registered or utilizing the Zurno Selling Service, you agree to the following:

For any of Your Products that are fulfilled using Zurno Fulfillment Services, the applicable Zurno Fulfillment Service Terms will govern the storage, fulfillment,
and delivery of such Zurno-Fulfilled Products.
B-2.2 Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds
The Zurno Refund Policies applicable to each Zurno Platform will govern the handling of cancellations, returns, and refunds for Your Products. Subject to Section E-6, for any of Your Products fulfilled through Zurno Fulfillment
Services, you are required to promptly accept, calculate, and process cancellations, returns, refunds, and adjustments in accordance with this Agreement and the relevant Zurno Refund Policies, utilizing the account functionalities we provide.

All payments related to Your Transactions, including refunds to customers, must be routed through Zurno. We will process such payments in a manner determined solely by us, and you agree to fully reimburse us for any amounts we disburse to customers in connection with these transactions.
B-3 Problems with Your Products.
B-3.1 Delivery Errors and Nonconformities; Recalls
You are solely responsible for any issues related to the fulfillment of Your Products, including but not limited to non-performance, non-delivery, misdelivery, theft, or any other errors or actions. This responsibility applies except where such issues are caused by:
(a) credit card fraud for which Zurno assumes responsibility under Section B-1.4; or
(b) our failure to provide you with Order Information as received by us, or issues arising from address verification errors.
Notwithstanding the above, for any of Your Products fulfilled through Zurno Fulfillment Services, the applicable Zurno Fulfillment Service Terms will govern matters related to non-delivery, misdelivery, theft, or other fulfillment-related errors or actions.
Additionally, you are responsible for addressing any non-conformity or defect in Your Products, as well as managing any public or private recalls involving Your Products or other products provided in connection with Your Products. You are required to notify Zurno promptly upon becoming aware of any such recalls, whether public or private.
B-3.2 Zurno Guarantee and Chargebacks
If we notify you that we have received or initiated a claim under the "Zurno Guarantee" offered on a specific Zurno Platform, or in the event of any chargeback or related dispute concerning one of Your Transactions, you are required to provide us with the following information in the format and manner we specify:
(a) Proof of fulfillment for the applicable Product(s);
(b) The relevant Zurno order identification number;
(c) A description of the applicable Product(s); and
(d) Any terms provided by either you or us that were displayed on the applicable Zurno Platform at the time of the transaction.
Failure to comply with the above requirements, or if the claim, chargeback, or dispute is not due to:
(i) Credit card fraud for which Zurno is responsible under Section B-1.4, or (ii) Our failure to provide you with Order Information as received by us, or errors arising from address verification,
then you must promptly reimburse Zurno in accordance with the Service Fee Payments section of this Agreement. This reimbursement will cover the full amount of the customer’s purchase, including the Purchase Price, all associated shipping and handling charges, and all applicable taxes—excluding any Referral Fees retained by Zurno that are not subject to refund. Additionally, you will be responsible for all related fees, including credit card association fees, bank or payment processing fees, re-presentment fees, and/or penalty fees tied to the original transaction and any chargeback or refund, to the extent such amounts are paid or payable by Zurno or its affiliates.
B-4. Parity with Your Sales Channels
Subject to this Section B-4, you have the freedom to choose which of Your Products you wish to offer on any specific Zurno Platform. However, you are required to maintain parity between the products you offer through Your Sales Channels and those listed on any Zurno Platform. This means ensuring the following:
(a) The Purchase Price and all other terms related to the offer or sale of Your Products (including associated shipping and handling charges, Shipment Information, any "low price" guarantees, rebates or discounts, free or discounted products or other benefits tied to purchasing additional products, and the terms of applicable cancellation, return, and refund policies) must be at least as favorable to Zurno users as the most favorable terms under which the product is offered or sold via Your Sales Channels, excluding any Excluded Offers. (b) The customer service you provide for Your Products must be equally responsive and available, offering the same level of support as the best customer service provided through any of Your Sales Channels.

B-6 Remittance of Sales Proceeds & Refunds
Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Zurno will remit your available balance to you on a bi-weekly (14-day) basis, or more frequently at our discretion. The remittance schedule may vary depending on the Elected Country. For each remittance, your available balance will equal the Sales Proceeds

Account Reserves:
We may establish a reserve on your account based on our assessment of risks posed to Zurno or third parties by your actions or performance. The amount of this reserve may be modified from time to time at our sole discretion. Bank Account Updates:
When you initially provide or later update your Bank Account information, your Remittance Calculation Date may be deferred for up to 14 days. Refunds to Customers:
If you issue a refund to a customer for one of Your Transactions and the refund is processed through us (or our affiliate), we will refund to you the portion of the Referral Fee you previously paid to us that corresponds to the refunded amount (including refunded taxes and customs duties where specified in applicable Tax Policies). This refund will occur on the next available Remittance Calculation Date, less the applicable Refund Administration Fee for each of Your Products refunded (except for BMVD Products, where no such administrative fee applies).
In the case of a full refund of Sales Proceeds for a Media Product, we
●
will also refund to you the full amount of any Variable Closing Fee you paid to us.
In the case of a partial refund of Sales Proceeds for a Media Product, no
●
portion of the Variable Closing Fee will be refunded.
We will process any amounts due to you under this section along with your next scheduled remittance.
