Flowergist Terms of Service

These Flowergist Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Flowergist website and any Flowergist mobile application, content, products and other services offered by Flowergist (collectively, the “Services”). Flowergist, Inc. (“Flowergist”, “we”, “our” or “us”) provides the Services. “You” and “your” refers to you as a user of any of the Services, whether as a Professional or Client, each as defined below.

THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION IN SECTION 22 OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS A MUTUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT REQUIRES YOU AND FLOWERGIST TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH EACH OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE REVIEW THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION OF THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 22, AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Services include a marketplace technology platform that enables third-party florist, event planner and flower enthusiast clients (“Clients”) and third-party Floral Vendors (“Vendors”) to connect with each other for Vendors to provide floral products and services to Clients (the “Flower Goods or Services”). Flowergist has no control over the conduct of Vendors, Clients, or any other users of the Services. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FLOWERGIST IS A TECHNOLOGY SERVICES PROVIDER THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE FLOWERS OR FLORAL SERVICES.

By agreeing to these Terms, and/or by using or accessing the Services (including without an account), you expressly acknowledge that you understand and accept all of the terms (including the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions below). BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES.
Changes to these Terms. Flowergist may, in its sole discretion, amend these Terms and modify or update the Services from time to time. If we change these Terms, we will give you notice by posting the revised Terms on or through the Services. Please review this page periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes. Those changes will go into effect on the revision date shown in the revised Terms. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the amended Terms.
Additional Terms. Our Privacy Policy, found at https://flowergist.com/privacy-policy/, and all other Flowergist policies applicable to your use of the Services (including, with respect to Vendors, the “Professional Addendum” you agreed to as part of your account registration) are incorporated by reference into these Terms (the “Additional Terms”), as updated from time to time. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT ALL ADDITIONAL TERMS. We will make Additional Terms applicable to your use of the Services available for you to read, which availability may be satisfied by posting such Additional Terms on Flowergist’s website. If you do not agree to abide by the Additional Terms, you automatically opt out of and are prohibited from using the Services. If you violate the provisions of the Additional Terms, Flowergist may, in its sole discretion, suspend, discontinue, or change your account or any aspect of your access to or use of the Services in whole or in part. By continuing to use the Services, you agree to the Additional Terms and any future amendments and additions to the Additional Terms as published from time to time through the Services. Please review the Additional Terms periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes.

You agree that the foregoing authorized communications may be initiated for any transactional, customer service, advertising, marketing, promotional, debt collection, account administration, or other purposes in connection with the Services. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONSENT TO RECEIVE PRERECORDED OR AUTODIALED PROMOTIONAL, ADVERTISING, OR MARKETING (COLLECTIVELY, “MARKETING”) CALLS OR TEXT MESSAGES AS A CONDITION OF PURCHASING ANY PROPERTY, GOODS, OR SERVICES.

You agree that Flowergist and our affiliates and representatives will not be responsible for honoring opt-out requests communicated through other channels. If you wish to register an account with Flowergist without agreeing to receive autodialed or prerecorded marketing calls or text messages from Flowergist and our affiliates, contact a customer success representative for assistance at info@Flowergist.com. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to approve the receipt of calls and text messages at any telephone number you provide to us in connection with your account or your use of our Services and to approve any related carrier charges. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IF YOU OPT OUT OF MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS, FLOWERGIST MAY STILL SEND YOU COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU, FLOWERGIST, AND/OR OTHER USERS OF THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING THE SERVICES YOU PROVIDE TO OR RECEIVE FROM OTHER USERS OF THE PLATFORM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OPTING OUT OF RECEIVING TEXT MESSAGES OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS MAY IMPACT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

Flowergist as a Marketplace Technology Platform.
The Services include a marketplace technology platform that connects Vendors with Clients. We do not provide any flowers, flower preparation or other flower-related services and make no representations or warranties about the quality of Flowers provided by Vendors, or about your interactions and dealings with Vendors, Clients, or other users, as applicable. Flowergist does not employ, recommend, or endorse Clients or Vendors, and we are not responsible or liable for the performance or conduct of Clients or Vendors, whether online or offline. Flowergist does not procure insurance for Clients or Vendors, nor is Flowergist responsible for the property of Clients or Vendors.
Payment Terms.
For Clients: As a Client, you understand that use of the Services may result in you owing fees to the Vendor for the Flower or Flower Related Services you receive from such Vendor, as well as ancillary charges in connection with your receipt of such Flower Goods or Services from Vendors (“Charges”). Such Charges may include some combination of the following: (i) cancellation fee, (ii) service, shipping, or platform usage fee, (iii) trust and safety fee, (iv) surcharges, (v) convenience fee, and (vi) other fees. A description of any Charges will be available on the Services. You have absolute discretion to request or not request Flower Goods or Services from a Vendor if the total applicable Charges are not acceptable to you. Flowergist will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Vendor through third-party payment processors, with whom you may be required to establish an account to access the Services. Payment of Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Vendor. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Services, Flowergist’s decision to terminate your usage, any disruption of the Services, or any other reason whatsoever, unless otherwise determined by Flowergist. All Charges are due immediately and Flowergist, or a third-party payment processor, will process your payment on the Vendor’s behalf using the primary payment method designated by you in your Flowergist account, for which payment method Flowergist reserves the right to seek authorization to verify the payment method and ensure all Charges will be covered. If your primary payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Flowergist may, as the Vendor’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your account, if available.
For Vendors: If you are a Vendor, you will receive payment for your provision of Flower Goods or Services pursuant to the terms of the Vendor Addendum, which shall be part of the Additional Terms between you and Flowergist.
Tips, Gratuities, and Reviews: The Charges are not inclusive of tip or gratuity for the Vendor. While Clients are free to provide gratuity to any Vendor who provides Flower Goods or Services obtained through the Services, Clients are under no obligation to do so. After receiving Flower Goods or Services obtained through the Services, Clients will have the opportunity to rate their experience and leave additional feedback about their Professional.
Automatic Subscription Renewal and Cancellation: FLOWERGIST SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL CANCELLED BY YOU. AFTER YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION COMMITMENT PERIOD, IF ANY, AND AGAIN AFTER ANY SUBSEQUENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD EQUIVALENT TO THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM YOU ORIGINALLY SELECTED AND AT THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE AND FREQUENCY DISCLOSED TO YOU WHEN YOU ORIGINALLY SUBSCRIBED, UNLESS YOU ARE OTHERWISE NOTIFIED BY FLOWERGIST. You may cancel your subscription at any time by following the instructions on your account settings page or by contacting info@Flowergist.com. If you cancel your subscription, you typically will be permitted to use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term. Your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires, but your payment method will be charged, and you will be required to pay any cancellation or other fees associated with your early termination and disclosed to you at the time you signed up for the subscription plan.
From time to time, Flowergist may, in its sole discretion, make available certain promotions, offers, credits, rewards, subscriptions, or referrals links or codes to Clients (the “Promotions”). Such Promotions will be provided to Clients via the Services, by email, or otherwise made available electronically by Flowergist. Such Promotions are only valid for redemption through the Services and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Each Promotion is a limited time offer and is valid only for the time and purpose and under the terms and conditions specified therein, which may include eligibility, time, and location requirements. Flowergist, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to issue Promotions with different features, discounts, offers, or deals to any users or groups of users determined solely by Flowergist. These Promotions, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your use of the Services or any Promotions offered to you. Flowergist reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Promotions that were made in error or obtained through fraud or suspected illegal behavior, or where the Client was found to be in violation of the terms of such Promotion, these Terms, or the Additional Terms. Promotions may be modified, disabled, or withdrawn by Flowergist at any time for any reason or no reason without liability to Flowergist.

Flowergist Professional Addendum

This Flowergist Professional Addendum (this “Addendum”) is an addendum to the Flowergist Terms of Service https://flowergist.com/terms-of-use (the “Terms”), and it sets forth additional terms and conditions that are applicable to your provision of Flower Goods or Services through the Flowergist Services. Capitalized terms herein have the meaning set forth in the Terms.

Client Charges and Professional Fees. Flowergist will charge Clients amounts determined by you for the Flower Goods or Services you provide (the “Client Charges“). Client Charges shall be quoted in advance and fixed at the time of the Flower Goods or Services request. You are entitled to a Vendors Fee for the Flower Goods or Services you provide for Clients, as provided in the Terms and this Addendum. The “Vendor Fee” for received/completed Flower Goods or Services is the amount of money payable to you for each Vendor Service or Goods provided, calculated as a percentage of the Client Charge (the “Fee Rate”), which may depend on type of Flower Goods or Services or any other factors as determined in Flowergist’s sole discretion. In situations where a Client cancels Flower Goods or Services request that you have accepted, you may earn a cancellation fee. In those cases, you will earn a Vendor Fee in the amount of the cancellation payment set forth in the Services. The Fee Rate is subject to change in Flowergist’s discretion, and any changes shall be published through the Services. By continuing to use the Services and provide Flower Goods or Services hereunder, you are deemed to accept these changes.
Additional Payments to You. In addition to the Vendor Fee, you will receive the following payments, if applicable: (i) any tips provided by a Client to you, (ii) any fees or surcharges we collect for remittance to you, (iii) any damage charges we collect on your behalf, and (iv) any bonuses or incentives you earn based on your provision of Flower Goods or Services.
Payment Processing. Flowergist will, through a third-party payment processor as selected by Flowergist in its sole discretion, collect payments owed to you by Clients, and you agree that the receipt of such payments satisfies the Client’s obligation to you. You acknowledge and agree that all payments owed to you hereunder shall not include any interest and will be net of any amounts that Flowergist or Flowergist’s selected third-party payment processor is required to withhold by law. Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/us/connect-account/legal), which includes the Stripe Services Agreement (available at https://stripe.com/us/legal) (collectively, the “Stripe Terms“). By using the Services to receive payment proceeds, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Terms, which may be modified from time to time. As a condition of Flowergist enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you authorize Flowergist to obtain all necessary access and perform all necessary activity on your Stripe Connected Account to facilitate your provision of Flower Goods or Services as contemplated by the Terms, this Addendum, and your relationship with Flowergist. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you and your business and to authorize Flowergist to share it and transaction information with Stripe for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services provided by Stripe. Flowergist reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors or use alternate or backup vendors in its discretion.
Promotions and Coupons. Flowergist may, at its discretion, offer discounts, promotions, or other coupons to Clients (“Promotions”), but such Promotions shall not impact the Client Charge, Professional Fee, or any other payments owed to you.
