Welcome to FarmersMarket.store (the Platform), operated by The Farmers Market, LLC (FarmersMarket.store, we, our, us). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms and Conditions (Terms). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

These Terms apply to all users, including customers and vendors.

Vendor means an independent producer, maker, farm, ranch, or other seller listing items through the Platform.
Harvest Box means our curated subscription or one time program that allows customers to select items from participating vendors.

2. Overview of the Platform and our role

The Platform is an online marketplace that connects vendors and customers. We provide product discovery, ordering tools, payment facilitation, customer support, and delivery coordination.

Unless we clearly state otherwise for a specific item, vendors are independent sellers. We do not operate as a traditional grocery retailer for vendor provided items.

Certain items may be available for business purchase only where lawful and only for vendors that are legally permitted to sell through that channel. Products that are limited by law to direct to consumer sales are not eligible for resale.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet these requirements.

4. Accounts and security

You agree to provide accurate and current information and to keep your account information updated. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your password secure. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms, suspected fraud, or platform security concerns.

5. Relationship of parties and limited agency

Vendors are independent businesses and are not our employees.

Limited agency may apply for checkout, payment collection, and delivery coordination. Vendors may authorize us on a limited basis to facilitate orders, collect payments on their behalf, provide customer support, and coordinate delivery. This limited authorization does not create an employment relationship or a general agency for any other purpose.

6. Vendor listings and vendor obligations

Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of listings, inventory availability, fulfillment, and product quality.

Vendors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including food safety rules, labeling rules, licensing rules, inspection rules, and any product specific restrictions.

We may remove or suspend listings that violate these Terms, violate the law, or present safety concerns.

7. Seller of record

Unless the listing clearly states that The Farmers Market, LLC is the seller of record, the vendor is the seller of record for vendor listed products. Customer purchases of vendor listed products are transactions between the customer and the vendor. We facilitate ordering, payment collection on behalf of vendors, and delivery coordination.

8. Payments, fees, and payouts

8.1 Payment processing

Payments are processed through Stripe. Vendors that sell through the Platform must comply with Stripe requirements and any applicable Stripe agreements.

8.2 Fees

We may charge customers and vendors fees that are disclosed at checkout, in vendor onboarding materials, or in vendor settings. Fees can include marketplace service fees, payment processing pass through fees, delivery fees, and payout related fees.

8.3 Payouts to vendors

When we collect funds on behalf of a vendor, we remit vendor proceeds according to the payout schedule described in vendor settings or vendor onboarding materials. We may delay payouts where necessary to address disputes, chargebacks, fraud, refunds, or compliance concerns.

8.4 Refunds and chargebacks

Refund handling is described in our Refund and Return Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Chargebacks and processor fees may be deducted from vendor payouts as permitted by the payment processor and applicable agreements.

9. Ordering and delivery

9.1 Multi vendor orders

Orders may include items from multiple vendors.

9.2 Delivery coordination

When delivery is available, delivery may be performed by independent third party delivery providers or other delivery partners. Delivery times are estimates.

9.3 Risk of loss and responsibility at delivery

Responsibility for an order transfers to the customer upon delivery to the address or pickup location the customer provided, or upon the order being made available at the agreed pickup location.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery instructions and promptly receiving perishable items.

9.4 Perishable foods and safe handling

Many items are perishable. Customers must promptly refrigerate or freeze items as appropriate and follow safe handling practices. We are not responsible for quality or safety issues caused by failure to promptly receive an order or improper storage or handling after delivery.

10. Cancellations, returns, and refunds

Refunds and credits are governed by our Refund and Return Policy, which is part of these Terms. Some items, especially perishable items, may not be eligible for return.

11. Product information, allergens, and dietary needs

Vendors are responsible for ingredient statements, allergen disclosures, and product descriptions where required or provided. Customers with allergies or dietary restrictions are responsible for reviewing product information and contacting us before purchase if confirmation is needed.
