1. ReTool is a Marketplace/Venue
ReTool acts as a marketplace/venue to allow users who comply with ReTool's Terms of Use and policies to offer, buy and sell tools and related merchandise from other users.

3. Fees and Services
Joining and setting up a shop on ReTool is free. ReTool does not charge fees to list an item for sale. ReTool does not charge a percentage of the sale price to the seller when the item sells. ReTool charges the buyer a percentage of the sales price when an item is purchased to protect the buyer from a covered loss.
BUYER PROTECTION SERVICE
Buyer Protection. Buyer Protection is added for a fee to every purchase made on the Site. Buyer Protection enables a Buyer to seek a refund in certain circumstances, as further described in this Section 3. The Buyer Protection Fee is calculated as follows:
- A fixed amount of $0.75; plus
- An amount equal to 3.5% of the Item price agreed between the Buyer and the Seller (not including shipping costs, any additional costs and applicable taxes).
Process for Receiving a Refund Under Buyer Protection. Buyer Protection includes the right for a Buyer to seek a refund in the event (i) an Item is lost during shipping or (ii) the delivered Item is damaged or (iii) is significantly not as described in the listing for the Item. In such circumstances, the Buyer must report the issue to ReTool within two (2) days after the date the Item is marked as ‘delivered’ in ReTool’s system (such 2-day period, the “Dispute Filing Period”). If there is a mistake in the reported ‘delivered’ date and the item has not been actually delivered to the Buyer, the Buyer must still report the issue within the Dispute Filing Period otherwise the Transaction will be marked as completed. To report an issue to ReTool, the Buyer must, within the Dispute Filing Period, contact ReTool. Otherwise, the Transaction will be completed and money will be transferred to the Seller.
Items Lost During Shipping. If the Buyer did not receive an Item, the Buyer must contact ReTool explaining the issue within the Dispute Filing Period. This will suspend the Transaction and the Total Price will be retained until ReTool investigates where the Item is and receives confirmation from the shipping provider that the Item is confirmed lost. Once the Item has been confirmed as lost, ReTool will issue a refund to the Buyer for the Total Price.
Damaged Items or Significantly Not As Described Items. If the Buyer receives an Item that has been damaged during shipment or is significantly not as described in the Item’s listing, the Buyer must inform ReTool explaining the issue within the Dispute Filing Period. This will suspend the Transaction and the Total Price will not be released to the Seller until the following process is complete:
(i) The Buyer and Seller can resolve the issue between themselves in their Private Messages and ReTool will not interfere.
(ii) If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve the issue directly, the Buyer or the Seller can escalate the issue to ReTool. After ReTool has reviewed the issue, if ReTool agrees that the Item indeed does not substantially comply with the description provided by the Seller in the Item listing or that the item was damaged during transit, ReTool will cancel the Transaction and issue a refund to the Buyer after the Buyer confirms that the Item has been shipped back to the Seller. ReTool does not provide return shipping services. Shipping costs for returning an Item are the responsibility of the Buyer, unless the Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise. If the Buyer does not send the Item back within the period stipulated by ReTool, the Buyer may not be eligible to receive a refund under Buyer Protection.
(iii) If the Buyer and the Seller resolve the issue privately after having already contacted ReTool’s Customer Support, the Users must inform ReTool that the issue has been resolved.
(iv) With respect to an Item that a Buyer has reported is significantly not as described in the Item’s listing, if ReTool determines that the Item complies with the description provided by the Seller in the Item listing, then the Buyer shall not be eligible for a refund through ReTool and ReTool will complete the Transaction. After the Transaction is completed and the money is released to the Seller, the Buyer can try to negotiate directly with the Seller for the return of the Item (e.g., agreement on reimbursement, return shipping fees, etc.); however, the Seller may refuse to cooperate with the Buyer on the grounds that the Transaction has been fulfilled from the Seller side.
No Refund. If there is something wrong with the Item received by the Buyer or the Item was not received by the Buyer butnthe Buyer does not contact ReTool within the Dispute Filing Period
the Transaction will be completed automatically and the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund under Buyer Protection for that Item and the money that the Seller is entitled to for the Transaction will be released to the Seller.
Not Insurance. Buyer Protection is not insurance services or legal protection guarantee services.
Acknowledgment that ReTool makes Final Decisions. Users agree to comply with the process for receiving a refund under Buyer Protection and to permit ReTool to make the final decision on any Buyer Protection related issue.
Refunds for Bundles.
ReTool’s Billing Policy, which is subject to change, is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Changes to the Billing Policy and the fees for ReTool's services are effective immediately after posting the changes on the Site to the fullest extent permitted by law, or otherwise immediately after the minimum period permitted by law. ReTool may also choose to temporarily change the Billing Policy and the fees for ReTool's services for promotional events; such changes are effective when ReTool posts the temporary promotional event on the Site or otherwise notifies you of the change.
Fees and Termination: If ReTool terminates a listing or your account, if you close your account, or if the payment of your ReTool fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to pay ReTool for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. If a user's account is not paid in full and becomes past due, the user risks penalties such as the suspension of privileges and/or termination of the account and other collection mechanisms (including retaining collection agencies and legal counsel). YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT RETOOL MAY CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD, OR ANY OTHER METHOD OF PAYMENT, ON FILE FOR ANY AND ALL OUTSTANDING OR DELINQUENT FEES OR BALANCES AND WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST RETOOL FOR EXERCISING THIS RIGHT (INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, USING YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION TO AID IN COLLECTING PAYMENT).

23. Proposition 65 - California
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (“Prop 65”) requires manufacturers, producers, packagers, importers, suppliers or distributors (the “Notice Parties”) of products to provide warnings to California consumers about potentially hazardous or cancer-causing materials in those products. Notice Parties are encouraged to include a warning that lists the specific chemicals in the product(s) if they are present in an amount that may be hazardous. Example warnings could read:
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including [name of chemical], which is/are known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including [name of chemical], which is/are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
We encourage all ReTool users who sell to California residents to investigate the requirements and to make independent determinations about whether warnings are necessary when selling items to California residents. You can include warnings in your item descriptions on ReTool. You agree to indemnify and hold ReTool harmless for any violations of Prop 65 or any claims arising out of your violation of Prop 65.
