1. Your Listings and Orders
1.1 Listings Information
You will provide accurate and complete Required Listing Information for each of Your Listings that you offer through any Amplife® Site and promptly update that information as necessary to ensure it at all times remains accurate and complete:
(a) a digitized image that accurately depicts only Your Listing, complies with all Listing Guidelines, and does not include any additional logos, text or other markings;
(b) title;
(c) brand;
(d) Purchase Price;
(e) Listing Type (Disabled-Owned, Disabled-Designed, or Disabled-Solution);
(f) Disability Helped within the category and browse structure;
(g) categorization within each Amplife® Listing category and browse structure;
(h) description, including as applicable, location-specific availability and options, scheduling guidelines and service cancellation policies;
(i) list of technical specifications;
(j) information regarding in-stock status and availability, shipping limitations or requirements, and the estimated or promised shipment and delivery date and shipping charge (in each case, in accordance with any categorizations and with our standard functionality);
(k) any text, disclaimers, warnings, notices, labels, warranties, or other content required by applicable Law to be displayed, or that are necessary for the safe use of Your Listing, in connection with the offer, merchandising, advertising, or sale of Your Listing; and
(l) any other information reasonably requested by us such as invoices and other documentation demonstrating the safety and authenticity of Your Listings.
You will also ensure that Your Materials, Your Listings (including packaging) and your offer and subsequent sale of any of the same on any Amplife® Site comply with all applicable Laws (including all minimum age, marking and labeling requirements) and do not contain any sexually explicit (except to the extent expressly permitted under our applicable Program Policies), defamatory or obscene materials. You may not provide any information for, or otherwise seek to offer any Prohibited Listings on any Amplife® Sites.
If you offer a Listing for sale on an Amplife® Site that requires a warning under California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6 (a "Proposition 65 Warning"), you (a) will provide us with such warning in the manner specified in our Program Policies, and (b) agree that our display of a Proposition 65 Warning on a Listing detail page is confirmation of our receipt of that warning. If Amplife® determines that a Listing may require a Proposition 65 Warning that you have not yet provided, we will notify you and you must provide the required warning within 5 business days of our notice. Failure to provide a required Proposition 65 Warning within that period may result in the Listing being suspended until the warning is received.
The license grants applicable to Your Materials are set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the Agreement, which are incorporated into these Service Terms by reference.
1.2 Listing and Order Processing
We will enable you to offer Your Listings on an Amplife® Site, and promote Your Listings in accordance with your Selling Plan (Standard or Showcase) and the Agreement (including via the Amplife® Associated Properties or any other functions, features, advertising, or programs on or in connection with the applicable Amplife® Site). We may use mechanisms that rate, or allow shoppers to rate, Your Listings and your performance as a Vendor, and Amplife® may make these ratings and feedback publicly available. We will provide Order Information to you for each order of Your Listings through the applicable Amplife® Site. We will also receive all Sales Proceeds on your behalf for each transaction completed on an Amplife® Site and will have exclusive rights to collect payment for those transactions. We will remit Sales Proceeds to you in accordance with these Service Terms.
1.3 Shipping Charges
When Your Listing is ordered by customers through an Amplife® Site, you will determine the shipping charges subject to our Program Policies and standard functionality.
1.4 Credit Card Fraud
Our payment processing partner's fraud analysis provides indicators of credit card fraud (that is, a fraudulent purchase arising from the theft and unauthorized use of a third party's credit card information) occurring in connection with Your Transactions for each order of Your Listings through an Amplife® Site. The indicators are used to investigate an order that Amplife® or you think might be fraudulent. The indicators include information such as:
whether the credit card used for the order passes AVS checks;
whether the customer provided the correct CVV code;
details about the IP address used to place the order; and
whether the customer tried to use more than one credit card.
If fraud indicators are detected on an order, we will forward the indicators to you by email and will require your acknowledgment of receipt. You will have 48 hours from the time of our email to accept or cancel the order.
If you accept the order, you will bear all risks and chargeback costs.
If you cancel the order, the order will not be fulfilled.
If you do not respond within 48 hours, we will contact the customer to determine if the order is fraudulent. If we determine that the order is most likely not fraudulent, we will proceed with fulfillment and chargeback risk will be shared equally between you and Amplife®. Equal sharing means that in the event of a confirmed chargeback, the reversed transaction amount and any associated fees will be split 50/50, with your share deducted from your account balance.
You will bear all other risks of fraud or loss, including in connection with Your Listings that are not fulfilled strictly in accordance with the Order Information and the estimated or promised shipment and delivery date.
1.5 HSA and FSA Listings
If you designate any of Your Listings as eligible for purchase using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, you represent and warrant that those Listings qualify as eligible medical expenses under applicable IRS guidelines and regulations at the time of listing and throughout the period the designation remains active. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of any HSA or FSA eligibility designation. If a customer's HSA or FSA plan administrator denies a transaction based on an inaccurate eligibility designation provided by you, you will be liable for any resulting claims, refund obligations, or penalties, and you agree to indemnify Amplife® for any costs arising from that inaccuracy.
You will promptly notify us at [email protected] if you become aware that any HSA or FSA designation on Your Listings is no longer accurate, and will update the listing information accordingly.
2. Sale and Fulfillment; Refunds and Returns
2.1 Sale and Fulfillment
For Standard Listings, you will:
(a) source, offer, sell, and fulfill Your Listings in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order Information, the Agreement, and all terms provided by you or us and displayed on the applicable Amplife® Site at the time of the order and be solely responsible for and bear all risk for those activities;

For Showcase Listings, you will fulfill your Listings in accordance with the terms of Your Sales Channels.
Insurance requirements vary based on your listing categories. General vendors are subject to the threshold-based requirements in Section 9.1 of the Agreement. Vendors offering durable medical equipment, medical devices, or clinical or professional services are subject to the immediate insurance requirements in Section 9.2 of the Agreement, which apply from the date your first such listing is approved regardless of transaction volume. Refer to Section 9 of the Agreement in full before submitting listings in those categories.
2.2 Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds
The Amplife® Refund Policies for an Amplife® Site will apply to Standard Listings. You acknowledge that the Amplife® Refund Policies may be updated from time to time and that the version in effect at the time of each transaction governs that transaction. You will promptly accept, calculate, and process cancellations, returns, refunds, and adjustments in accordance with the Agreement and the Amplife® Refund Policies for the applicable Amplife® Site, using the functionality we enable for your account. Without limiting your obligations, we may in our sole discretion accept, calculate, and process cancellations, returns, refunds, and adjustments for the benefit of customers.
For Showcase Listings, you will accept returns in accordance with the terms of Your Sales Channels.
3. Problems with Your Listings
3.1 Delivery Errors and Nonconformities; Recalls
You are responsible for any non-performance, non-delivery, misdelivery, theft, or other mistake or act in connection with the fulfillment of Standard Listings, except to the extent caused by our failure to make available to you Order Information as it was received by us.
For Showcase Listings, you are responsible for any non-performance in accordance with the terms of Your Sales Channels.
You will notify us promptly as soon as you have knowledge of and are responsible for any non-conformity or defect in, any public or private recall of, or safety alert of any of Your Listings or other products, services, or events provided in connection with Your Listings.
3.2 Chargebacks
When a customer disputes a transaction completed on an Amplife® Site (a "chargeback"), we will notify you and provide the details of the disputed transaction. You must provide documentation sufficient to contest the chargeback within the timeframe we specify, which will be no fewer than 7 business days from our notice. If you do not respond within the specified period, we may accept the chargeback on your behalf.
If a chargeback results in a reversal of Sales Proceeds, the reversed amount plus any associated processing fees will be deducted from your account balance or charged to your Primary Payment Method. You are responsible for all chargeback costs arising from Your Transactions except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.
Repeated or excessive chargeback rates may result in suspension of your account or additional reserve requirements under Section 5.
3.3 Claims Reserve
If Amplife® receives claims, complaints, or notices related to Your Listings (including customer disputes, intellectual property claims, product liability claims, regulatory notices, or Proposition 65 compliance issues), we may withhold amounts from your account balance reasonably estimated to cover the value of those claims while they are pending resolution. We will notify you of any amounts withheld under this Section and the basis for the withholding. Withheld amounts will be released or applied within 30 days of final resolution of the applicable claim. The total amount withheld under this Section 3.3 at any time will not exceed the reasonably estimated value of open claims and disputes against your account plus any applicable processing fees.
4. Compensation
Amplife® will charge your Primary Payment Method for:
(a) the applicable Standard Listing fees for Vendors on the Standard Selling Plans;
(b) the applicable Showcase Listing monthly subscription on the renewal date for Vendors on the Showcase Selling Plans; and
(c) any other applicable fees described in the Agreement (including any applicable Program Policies).
If the Primary Payment Method cannot be charged for any reason, you authorize Amplife® to charge your other eligible payment methods. If Amplife® cannot charge your other eligible payment methods, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and Amplife® may attempt to charge again or request another payment method. For Showcase Listings, this may change the date on which billing occurs. As permitted by law, Amplife® may automatically update payment information if it is provided by payment networks or financial institutions.
Subscription upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades or cancellations take effect at the next billing date.
5. Remittance of Sales Proceeds and Refunds
Except as otherwise stated in the Agreement, we will remit to you your available balance within 7 business days of the confirmed delivery date of a Standard Listing order, on a weekly basis. For each remittance, your available balance is equal to any Sales Proceeds not previously remitted to you (which you will accept as payment in full for Your Transactions), less:
(a) the Listing fees;
(b) any other applicable fees described in the Agreement (including any applicable Program Policies);
(c) any amounts we require you to maintain in your account balance pursuant to the Agreement (including payments withheld pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement, Section 1.4, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and applicable Program Policies); and
(d) any taxes that Amplife® automatically calculates, collects and remits to a tax authority according to applicable law, as specified in the Tax Policies.
For Showcase Listings, your available balance will be remitted in accordance with the terms of Your Sales Channels.
We may establish a reserve on your account based on our assessment of risks to Amplife® or third parties posed by your actions or performance. The reserve amount will not exceed 10% of your average monthly Sales Proceeds over the prior three calendar months, or the total value of open claims and disputes against your account at that time, whichever is greater. We may modify the reserve amount within these limits based on changes in assessed risk. Reserves will be reviewed and released within 90 days unless an open claim, investigation, or chargeback proceeding requires the reserve to be maintained longer. You may request a review of any reserve determination by contacting us at [email protected].
When you either initially provide or later change your Primary Payment Method information, the remittance date may be deferred by up to 14 days.
