Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other users on the Websites regarding any Costumes.  This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Band against Playmas regarding the remittance of payments received from a user or buyer by Playmas on behalf of a Band, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

 

10. Service Fees and Payments for Costumes

Playmas charges a service fee to the Band (the “Service Fee”), which is based on a percentage of the applicable purchase listing price that buyer or customer pays to a Band for a Costume purchase.  (the “Purchase Price”).

In additional to the Service Fee, Playmas is permitted to charge Band a “Setup Fee” at the time a Band chooses to register an account and an ongoing monthly server fee for maintaining the technology.

Each Band hereby permits Playmas to collect payments made by Buyers on behalf of the Band. Each Band agrees that payment for a Costume made by a Buyer to Playmas shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Band. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Playmas, will not be responsible for performing the obligations of any agreements between Buyer and Band, that Playmas is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Playmas disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Playmas is not a party to the agreement between Buyer and the Band; Playmas accepts payments from you on behalf of the Band. Playmas is responsible for remitting such amounts, less applicable Service Fees, to the Band. In the event that Playmas does not remit any such amounts to a Band, such Band will have recourse only against Playmas.

In the event of Costumes and inventory supplied by a Supplier through Playmas’ platform, the Band hereby permits Playmas to make direct payments to the Supplier on behalf of the Band for inventory supplied by the Supplier through Playmas’ platform. Band acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that Playmas is not a party to the agreement between Supplier and the Band, Playmas shall accept payments on the behalf of the Band and remit them to Supplier. Band agrees that payment for a Costume and inventory made by Playmas to Supplier shall be considered the same as payment made directly to the Supplier by the Band or a Buyer.

In connection with a Buyer’s order of a Costume, Buyer will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, credit card information to Playmas’ third party payment processor, which is currently “Stripe” (www.stripe.com). You agree to pay Playmas for any confirmed purchases, setup fees, and/or server made in connection with your Playmas account in accordance with these Terms by credit card. All service fees will be billed on a monthly basis at the beginning of the paying portion of each month unless and until you cancel your subscription.

Playmas reserves the right to charge an additional 10% annual interest on all amounts that are due and payable under these Terms and have remained outstanding for up to 30 days.

Playmas reserves the right to withhold transmission of payments to Suppliers until Playmas has received confirmation that the order has been fulfilled.

 

11. Refunds and Exchanges or Alterations.

Once an order is placed, any cancelations or alterations must be made through the Band directly. Orders may take up to 6 months to be completed. Playmas will not provide refunds on any orders that have been placed less than 6 months before the date of the claim for refund.

   10. Items You Purchase.

We provide the venue; the items in our marketplaces are produced, listed and sold directly by independent Bands, so Playmas cannot and does not make any warranties about the Costumes including quality or authenticity. Any legal claim related to an item you purchase must be brought directly against the seller of the item. You release Playmas from any claims related to items sold through our Services, including for defective items, misrepresentations by sellers or items that caused physical injury (like product liability claims).

  1. Approval for Purchase

Bands may require prior approval of Buyers before an order for Costumes is confirmed. Playmas encourages Buyers to reach out directly to a Band for criteria to purchase a Costume from the Band. 

  1. No Endorsement

Playmas does not endorse any Bands. Although these Terms of Service require Bands to provide accurate information, Playmas may not verify or attempt to confirm any information provided by Bands or any user’s purported identity. You are solely responsible for determining the identity and suitability of other users who you contact via the Website. 

By using the Website and/or the services of Playmas, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other users or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular users or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from Playmas with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other users on the Websites regarding any Costumes.  This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Band against Playmas regarding the remittance of payments received from a user or buyer by Playmas on behalf of a Band, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

  1. Service Fees and Payments for Costumes

Playmas charges a service fee to the Band (the “Service Fee”), which is based on a percentage of the applicable purchase listing price that buyer or customer pays to a Band for a Costume purchase.  (the “Purchase Price”).

In additional to the Service Fee, Playmas is permitted to charge Band a “Setup Fee” at the time a Band chooses to register an account and an ongoing monthly server fee for maintaining the technology. 

Each Band hereby permits Playmas to collect payments made by Buyers on behalf of the Band. Each Band agrees that payment for a Costume made by a Buyer to Playmas shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Band. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Playmas, will not be responsible for performing the obligations of any agreements between Buyer and Band, that Playmas is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Playmas disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Playmas is not a party to the agreement between Buyer and the Band; Playmas accepts payments from you on behalf of the Band. Playmas is responsible for remitting such amounts, less applicable Service Fees, to the Band. In the event that Playmas does not remit any such amounts to a Band, such Band will have recourse only against Playmas.

In the event of Costumes and inventory supplied by a third party supplier through Playmas’ platform, the Band hereby permits Playmas to make direct payments to the supplier on behalf of the Band for inventory supplied by the supplier through Playmas’ platform. Band acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that Playmas is not a party to the agreement between Supplier and the Band, Playmas shall accept payments on the behalf of the Band and remit them to Supplier. Band agrees that payment for a Costume and inventory made by Playmas to Supplier shall be considered the same as payment made directly to the Supplier by the Band or a Buyer.

In connection with a Buyer’s order of a Costume, Buyer will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, credit card information to Playmas’ third party payment processor, which is currently “Stripe” (www.stripe.com). You agree to pay Playmas for any confirmed purchases, setup fees, and/or server made in connection with your Playmas account in accordance with these Terms by credit card. All service fees will be billed on a monthly basis at the beginning of the paying portion of each month unless and until you cancel your subscription.

Playmas reserves the right to charge an additional 10% annual interest on all amounts that are due and payable under these Terms and have remained outstanding for up to 30 days.

Playmas reserves the right to withhold transmission of payments to suppliers until Playmas has received confirmation that the order has been fulfilled.

  1. Refunds and Exchanges or Alterations.

Once an order is placed, any cancelations or alterations must be made through the Band directly. Orders may take up to 6 months to be completed. Playmas will not provide refunds on any orders that have been placed less than 6 months before the date of the claim for refund. 

Buyers may not claim any refunds. All Costumes sold through Playmas are custom made and all purchases through the platform are deemed final and not eligible for returns, replacements, alterations and refunds.

  1. General

The failure of Playmas to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Playmas. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior written or oral proposals and understandings related hereto. The parties acknowledge having read the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, understand all terms and conditions, and agree to be bound by them.
