Agreement between User and www.AlleyCove.com

Welcome to www.AlleyCove.com. The www.AlleyCove.com website (the “Site”) is comprised of various web pages operated by Alley Cove, LLC (“Alley Cove”). www.AlleyCove.com is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the “Terms”). Your use of www.AlleyCove.com constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully and keep a copy of them for your reference.

www.AlleyCove.com is an eCommerce, multi-vendor marketplace website.

Alley Cove is a website where buyers and sellers can come together in a diverse online community to celebrate the best items of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Posted Items should not proceed 1980. Also, items sold on the Site do not need to have been produced in the respective eras. Items may be new and in the "spirit" of such eras. Alley Cove has the sole authority and discretion to operate and remove any items or suspend any accounts at any time. Alley Cove also has the authority to make changes to the Terms and Use at any time. Alley Cove reserves the right to remove any item, picture, or posting from our Site at any time for any reason, without notice to any Seller. Alley Cove is under no obligation to remove or change any item, picture, or posting from our Site at any Seller’s request and any such requests shall be resolved at our sole discretion. We are not responsible for addressing or assisting with any disputes between or complaints about any Sellers or between Sellers and Buyers.

Privacy

Your use of www.AlleyCove.com is subject to Alley Cove’s Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs the Site and informs users of our data collection practices. Each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Services. For example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, not Alley Cove, will be responsible for that unauthorized disclosure.

Electronic Communications

Visiting www.AlleyCove.com or sending emails to Alley Cove constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email, and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Your Account

If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that Alley Cove is not responsible for third-party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation of your account. Alley Cove and its associates reserve the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content at our sole discretion at any time.

Fees

Also, by using the Site, you give Alley Cove the means to collect sales taxes on sales and purchases you make using our services in any jurisdiction where we may have an obligation. We may collect sales tax from you via the payment method we have on file for you, or by any other means available to us.

Age Usage Restrictions

If you are under 18, you may not use the Site under any circumstances.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

Cancelations and/or refunds are strictly between the buyer and seller. Alley Cove does not administer refunds directly. All sellers should clearly state whether they offer refunds or cancelations for the items they are selling.

Prohibited Items

Alley Cove specifically prohibits the sale of alcohol, drugs, firearms, and any paraphernalia related to the three. Additionally, food products are prohibited from being sold. In short, nothing that is ingested, inhaled, insufflated, snorted, eaten, or otherwise consumed as a food or drug should be sold here. We are a site dedicated to nostalgic items, and we find that old foodstuffs are not safe for consumption.

We reserve the right to terminate your account for not following these restrictions. 

By using the Service, Sellers and Vendors also agree to the Seller/Vendor Terms and Conditions, linked here.

Release of Claims

Our Site acts as the venue for Sellers to conduct sales and for Buyers to purchase Sellers’ items. We are not involved in the actual transaction between Sellers and Buyers. In the event you have a dispute with another Seller or with a Buyer, you hereby release Alley Cove, LLC. (and our directors, officers, agents, and employees) from any claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
