Terms of Service-Vendors

​

General

​

Thank you for your interest in Gesture For Vendors provided to you by Gesture US Inc.  ("Gesture" "us" or "we"), and our web site at gestureforvendors.com (the "Site"), as well as all related web sites, networks, downloadable software, and other services provided by us and on which a link to this Terms of Service is displayed (collectively, together with the App and Site, our "Service"). These Terms of Service (these "Terms"), including the Privacy Policy incorporated into these Terms by reference and any other applicable policies and guidelines, as may be updated from time to time, govern Vendors use of the Service.

​

These Terms provide that with limited exceptions all disputes between you and Gesture arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms, except for matters covered by Section 19.3 of these Terms. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration”) for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate most disputes with Gesture.

​

Gesture provides a mobile app and web-based technology platform that connects customers and any local random merchant/s or vendors with independent contract couriers to facilitate on-demand gift delivery service/s (known as the "Platform"). Through the Platform customers will request that merchandise be delivered to a recipient, however the customer agrees that the item chosen to be delivered, be from any random local merchant or restaurant/s at the discretion or choice of Gesture. Using the platform and app technology, Gesture will make recommendations on where to purchase various items to be gifted and delivered chosen by the customer to fulfill that order.  Independent contractor couriers can access the Platform and receive delivery opportunities. Gesture IS NOT a retail store, restaurant, food delivery service, merchandise delivery service, or food preparation entity.

​

Gesture US Inc.  DOES NOT PROVIDE DELIVERY SERVICES. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS (EACH A "COURIER") OFFER DELIVERY SERVICES THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICE. Gesture OFFERS INFORMATION AND A METHOD TO OBTAIN COURIER SERVICES IN THE MEANS OF DELIVERING VARIOUS GIFTS, BUT DOES NOT AND DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE COURIER SERVICES OR ACT IN ANY WAY AS A COURIER, AND HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY COURIER.

​

These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you (“you” or “Vendor”) and Gesture and by downloading, installing, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

​

As provided in greater detail in these Terms, you agree, acknowledge and understand these material Terms:

​

  • The App is licensed, not sold to you, and you may use the Service only as set forth in these Terms;

  • Your use of the Service may be subject to separate third-party terms of service and fees, including without limitation your mobile network operator’s ("Carrier") terms of service and fees, including fees charged for data usage and coverage, which are your sole responsibility;

  • You consent to the collection, sharing, and use of your personally identifiable information in accordance with Gesture’ Privacy Policy;

  • The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and Gesture’s liability to you is limited; and

  • Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration.

​

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND Gesture ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Gesture.

​

  1. Accounts and Registration

To access some and/or all of the features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself (such as your name, credit card information, e-mail address, phone number or other contact information).

You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, you must immediately notify us via our Help Center.

 

  1. Scope of License

The App is licensed, not sold, to Vendor for use only under the Terms of this license. Gesture reserves all rights not expressly granted to Vendor. Subject to the complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, Gesture hereby grants Vendor a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the App on compatible devices that are exclusively owned or controlled by Vendor, solely under these Terms.

 

Vendor may not or allow any third party to modify, alter, reproduce, distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. Vendor may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the App. Breach of this license restrictions, or otherwise exceeding the scope of the license granted in these Terms may subject Vendor to prosecution and legal damages, as well as liability for infringement of intellectual property rights. These Terms will govern any updates provided to Vendor by Gesture that replace and/or supplement the original App, unless the upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

 

Vendor agrees not to access, collect, retain, or process any of Gesture’s data except as required to perform under the Terms of their agreement. Vendor shall maintain the accuracy and security of any Gesture data accessed by implementing physical and technical safeguards. If Vendor becomes aware of any unauthorized access to Gesture data by third parties, they shall immediately notify Gesture.

 

  1. Vendor Obligations

    1. Item Availability

Vendor will make items available for purchase through the App and ensure the availability of items is accurate. Vendor will prepare, handle , store, label and package all items in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation all laws, rules and regulations governing time or temperature controls required for food safety (“Food Safety Standards”) and, if applicable, all applicable laws, rules, and regulations for the handling and labeling of Alcoholic Beverages (“Alcohol Safety Standards”). Vendor will determine any quality, portion, size, ingredient or other criteria that apply to items. Vendor is responsible for ensuring that all items meet the applicable criteria. If Vendor fails to prepare or supply items in accordance with Food or Alcohol Safety Standards or if any item fails to meet the criteria, Gesture may, in its sole discretion, remove such item from the App. Vendor represents and warrants that all nutritional information for items, including calorie count or allergen information, will remain accurate at all times.

​

  1. Item Responsibility

Vendor acknowledges and agrees that neither Gesture nor the courier takes title to any item at any time. Notwithstanding, Vendor shall be responsible for any reimbursement costs related to customer refunds for substandard items or other related issues within Vendor’s control (including any costs associated with retrieving any such substandard items or otherwise unsatisfactory item(s), if applicable)), including by way of example, missing or incomplete items, items not cooked thoroughly, and items not prepared in accordance with Vendor’s internal standards. Gesture may, in its sole discretion, deduct reimbursement costs from the payment Gesture remits to Vendor in accordance with this Section 4. To the extent required by applicable law, and only for the purpose of the expedited provision of items, items are sold to customers under Vendor’s retail and food delivery license privileges.

​

  1. Item Restrictions

The following restricted Items may not be featured or sold via the App: people or animals of any size, illegal items, fragile items, dangerous items (like weapons, explosives, flammables, etc.), stolen goods, items containing endangered species or any items that Vendor does not have permission to offer. Gesture may remove from—or otherwise limit your ability to post any items Gesture deems prohibited or inappropriate. For clarity, alcohol is only permitted on the App if Vendor has agreed to Gesture’s separate Alcohol requirements through specific channels.

 

Gesture may restrict the sale of items via the App based on physical attributes of such items (e.g., weight (per item or in aggregate), height, shape, or appropriateness for delivery).

 

  1. Payment Terms

    1. General Payment Terms

Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Gesture may change the delivery fee, service fee or any other fees for any feature of the Service, including by adding fees, on a going forward basis at any time as we deem necessary for our business. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept an estimate of the fees that you will be charged. The final fees may differ from the estimate (if one is provided), which may be the result of any requested substitutions or the ultimate prevailing price of the items (discussed further below). In some cases Gesture may not be able to provide an estimate of the fees. All fees are non-refundable and will be quoted in the App in the local currency of the location where the order is being delivered. This no-refund policy applies at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, our decision to terminate your usage, and/or any disruption caused to our Service for any reason whatsoever.

 

Gesture, at its sole discretion, may offer credits or refunds on a case-by-case basis; all credit and/or refund requests must be made within forty-eight (48) hours after the completion of the delivery for which the credit and/or refund request was made.

 

Gesture will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase or as otherwise specified by you in your account information. Gesture reserves the right to determine final prevailing pricing of all items ordered through the Service. Please note the pricing information published on the Site or in the App may not reflect the prevailing pricing. In some cases, the estimated pricing at time of checkout may differ from prevailing pricing. In cases in which prevailing pricing is different than the estimated pricing, the fees you are ultimately charged may be different than the estimate. You acknowledge and agree to pay the prevailing pricing and fees. Please visit our Help Center to learn more about how items are priced on the App.

 

Gesture, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your use of the Service or fees charged to you. Gesture reserves its right to expire or modify any promotion at any time.

 

  1. Payment Authorization

You authorize Gesture to charge all sums for orders and services made to the payment method designated in your account. When you order on Gesture, we may issue a temporary pre-authorization hold which is placed on your designated payment method to verify that the card is valid and has funds available for your intended purchase. The amount of this pre-authorization hold may be greater or less than the order total quoted at checkout. However, you will only be charged the final order total once your order is registered as complete within the Gesture system, which generally occurs between 24-48 business hours after you receive your order. In the event that the pre-authorization is greater than the final amount, the difference will be returned to you after your order is completed or cancelled, which may take up to 5 business days depending on your bank.

 

Gesture may also place an initial temporary pre-authorization hold on each new payment method you add to your account.

 

Gesture reserves the right to request additional information from you if we have reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that a payment method may be fraudulent.

 

  1. Delinquent Accounts

If payment for purchases on your account is delinquent, your account information may be sent to a collection agency / debt collector and you may be subject to a collection action, and payment of collection related fees and costs. If you have questions regarding an outstanding balance on your account, please contact us via our Help Center.

 

  1. Cancelled Orders

If customers cancel a Gesture order, they may be charged depending on what stage the order was in when cancelled. If customers cancel a delivery after the order was accepted, they will be charged the price of the item, including applicable taxes, plus a cancellation fee of up to $4. This constitutes that same definition as if they canceled an order after it is out for delivery, they will be charged the full price of the order.

 

  1. Customer Interactions

    1. Providers.

During use of the Service, customers may purchase goods and services from Vendors through the Service. Any such activity, and any disputes, terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with that activity, is solely between customers and the applicable Vendor.

In no event shall Gesture or its licensors be responsible for any content, products, services or other materials on or available from Vendor or other third-party providers.

New York, NY 10018

Attention: General Counsel

 

  1. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in whole or in part at any time to any entity without your notice or consent. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this section shall be void.

 

  1. Term and Termination of Agreement

These Terms are effective until terminated by you or Gesture as described below. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically without notice from Gesture if you fail to comply with any of these Terms (including by violating any license restriction contained in these Terms). In addition, Gesture may in its sole discretion terminate your user account on the Service or suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service) without notice to you.

  1. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

    1. Disputes

Gesture is not a party to, has no involvement or interest in, makes no representations or warranties as to, and has no responsibility or liability with respect to any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other user, any Courier or other third party. Disputes between a user and Gesture are subject to this Section 19.

 

  1. Generally

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Gesture in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Gesture agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms.

 

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Gesture ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

  1. Exceptions

Despite the provisions of the paragraph directly above, we both agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to:

  • Bring an individual action in small claims court;

  • Pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available;

  • Seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or

  • To file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

 

  1. Arbitrator

Any arbitration between you and Gesture will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Gesture at legal@yourgesture.com.

 

  1. Notice Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice").

 

Gesture’s address for Notice is:

Attn: General Counsel

 

The Notice must:

  • Describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and

  • Set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand")

We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Gesture may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Gesture must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

 

If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Gesture will pay you the highest of the following:

  • The amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any;

  • The last written settlement amount offered by Gesture in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or

  • $1,000

 

  1. Fees

If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Gesture will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules.

 

Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Manhattan Borough County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:

  • Solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator;

  • Through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or

  • By an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.

 

If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Gesture for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

 

The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

 

  1. No Class Actions

YOU AND Gesture AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

 

Further, unless both you and Gesture agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

  1. Modifications

If Gesture makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Gesture’s address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Gesture’ address for Notice, in which case your account with Gesture will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.

 

  1. Enforceability

If Section 19.7 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 19 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

 

  1. Modification of these Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify the Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted through the Service, except as set forth below. These Terms identify the date of last update. Your use of the Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms of Service. In the case of material changes to these Terms, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change, such as through sending an email to any address you may have used to register for an account, through a pop-up window on the Service, or other similar mechanism.

 

Material changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of:

  • Your first use of the Service with actual notice of such change; or

  • 30 days from posting of such change.

 

Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications.

You acknowledge and agree that when using the App, you may have direct or indirect access or exposure to Gesture’ confidential information ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information includes Gesture’ data, provider IDs, user information, delivery recipient information, delivery provider information, package information, and the transaction volume, marketing and business plans, business, financial, technical, operational and such other nonpublic information (whether disclosed in writing or verbally) that Gesture designates as being proprietary or confidential or that you should reasonably know to treat as confidential.

 

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) all Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of the Gesture; (b) you shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose except in furtherance of your use of the App; (c) you shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party; and (d) you shall not store or keep Confidential Information and shall return or destroy (with confirmation of destruction) all Confidential Information upon the termination of your use of the App or at the request of Gesture.

  1. General

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, you and Gesture agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Manhattan Borough County, New York for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in New York, and we make no representation that materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, Gesture or any third-party provider as a result of the Terms or use of the Service.

 

If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law. The failure of Gesture to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Gesture in writing.

 

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between you and Gesture and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms.
