These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Ripmart’s website(s), web pages, and related services made available at https://ripmart.com/ and any successor or related domains and subdomains (collectively, the “Site”), including any waitlist signup, notification, or updates functionality made available on or through the Site (the “Waitlist”, and together with the Site, the “Services”).
“Ripmart,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ripmart, Inc., together with its affiliates as applicable. You can contact us at [contact email].
The Site is currently an informational website through which you may learn about Ripmart and join the Waitlist. These Terms do not govern the Ripmart marketplace platform, any related mobile application, or any other product or functionality that Ripmart may make available in the future (collectively, the “Platform”). Use of the Platform, when and if made available, will be governed by separate terms as described in Section 3.
1. Acceptance of These Terms; Communications
- Agreement to be Bound. By accessing or using any of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity.
- Electronic Communications. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to receive all communications from Ripmart in electronic form, including by email, text message (where you have provided a phone number), or by posting notices on the Site. You agree that all notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications that Ripmart provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You waive any rights to require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable law.
2. Changes to These Terms; Changes to the Services
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when these Terms were last revised. Your continued access to or use of the Services after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Services (including the Waitlist) at any time, with or without notice, including changing features, availability, content, or access requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modifications to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Section 16 (Governing Law; Dispute Resolution) will not apply to any dispute for which the parties had actual notice prior to the date such modification is posted on the Site.
3. Pre-Launch Status; Relationship to Platform Terms; Priority
The Services are primarily informational and allow you to join the Waitlist. The Platform is under development and has not launched. Your access to or use of the Platform, when and if made available, will be subject to separate terms, policies, disclosures, and other documentation that you enter into with Ripmart or other parties (collectively, “Platform Terms”), which may include account registration, eligibility, identity verification, and other requirements. Joining the Waitlist does not create a Platform account and does not entitle you to access the Platform.
4. Informational Nature; No Offer; No Advice
The Services and any information provided through the Services or other Ripmart public communications regarding the Services or the Site (including descriptions of Ripmart, the Platform, anticipated products, features, partners, launch timing, or benefits) are provided for informational purposes only and may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. We do not represent or warrant that any information is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Nothing on the Services constitutes, or should be construed as, (a) an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any product, asset, or financial product, (b) an offer or solicitation to enter into any transaction, (c) investment, financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other advice, or (d) a recommendation or endorsement of any product, service provider, or other third party.
5. Eligibility; Restricted Persons; Compliance With Law
You may use the Services only if you can legally enter into these Terms and are not prohibited from using the Services under these Terms or applicable law. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of the Services is lawful in your jurisdiction and complies with all applicable laws and regulations. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
Without limiting the foregoing, you may not use the Services if (a) you are a resident of, located in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions, embargoes, or other restrictions administered or enforced by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or other applicable authorities (a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”); (b) you are identified on any sanctions or restricted party list (including the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control “SDN” list), or are otherwise a sanctioned person; or (c) your use of the Services would violate applicable law. We may implement controls (including geofencing) to restrict access, and you agree not to circumvent any such controls.
Additional eligibility requirements may apply to the Platform and will be set out in applicable Platform Terms.
6. The Waitlist
- Registration. The Site allows you to join a waitlist to receive updates about Ripmart and to be notified when the Platform launches. To join the Waitlist, you must provide a valid email address, and you may optionally provide your name, phone number, and information about the types of Platform offerings you may be interested in. You represent and warrant that all information you submit is accurate and current, relates to you (and not another person), and that you are authorized to provide it. We may limit Waitlist registrations (including to one registration per person) and may decline, condition, or remove any registration at any time in our sole discretion.
- Email Communications. By joining the Waitlist, you consent to receive emails from Ripmart and its service providers, including launch notifications, updates, and marketing communications. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the email or by contacting us at [contact email].
- Text Message Communications. If you provide your phone number, you consent to receive recurring text (SMS/MMS) messages from Ripmart and its service providers regarding Ripmart, including launch notifications, updates, and marketing messages, which may be sent using automated technology. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of joining the Waitlist or of any purchase. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying “STOP” to any text message or by contacting us at [contact email].
- No Obligation; No Guarantee. Joining the Waitlist is voluntary and free. Joining the Waitlist does not guarantee that the Platform will launch or become available in your jurisdiction, does not guarantee you access to (or priority access to) the Platform or any product, feature, pricing, or availability, and does not obligate Ripmart to provide any product, service, or benefit. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Waitlist at any time, with or without notice.
7. Launch Benefits; Promotions
- Launch Benefits. From time to time, we may offer Waitlist registrants gifts, credits, or other promotional benefits in connection with the launch of the Platform (“Launch Benefits”). Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing: (i) Launch Benefits are offered at our sole discretion, and we make no representation or guarantee as to the nature, form, value, timing, or availability of any Launch Benefit; (ii) Launch Benefits may be subject to eligibility and other conditions, including creating a Platform account and accepting applicable Platform Terms; (iii) Launch Benefits have no cash or monetary value, are not redeemable for cash, are non-transferable, and may not be sold, exchanged, or bartered; (iv) Launch Benefits may be modified, substituted, revoked, or discontinued at any time prior to issuance, with or without notice; and (v) Launch Benefits are void where prohibited by law. Joining the Waitlist does not create any entitlement to, or property interest in, any Launch Benefit.
- Promotions. From time to time, Ripmart may offer promotions, competitions, contests, or other incentive programs. Any such promotion may be subject to additional rules, eligibility requirements, and disclosures (“Promotion Rules”). Participation in a promotion is voluntary and at your own risk. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and applicable Promotion Rules, the Promotion Rules control to the extent of the conflict.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to, and not to attempt to, directly or indirectly:
- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose, including violating sanctions, export controls, anti-money laundering laws, or other applicable law.
- Circumvent, bypass, or attempt to circumvent any access restrictions, geofencing, usage limits, or security features of the Services, or submit Waitlist registrations through automated means or using false, misleading, or third-party information.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Services or the systems, networks, or security of Ripmart or any third party used in connection with the Services.
- Upload or transmit malware or other harmful code, or conduct distributed denial-of-service attacks or similar attacks in connection with the Services.

9. Intellectual Property; License; Feedback
The Services and all content, features, and functionality (including text, graphics, logos, photographs, audio, video, software, and design) are owned by Ripmart or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, informational purposes until these Terms are terminated.
Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by Ripmart, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any portion of the Services. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you submit, transmit, or otherwise make available any feedback, suggestions, ideas, comments, or other input to Ripmart in connection with the Services (“Feedback”), you hereby grant Ripmart a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly display, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose without obligation, compensation, or attribution to you.
10. Third-Party Content; Links; Forward-Looking Statements
The Services may include content provided by third parties or links to third-party websites, tools, or resources. Such links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services, and your use of any third-party resource is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s terms.
Some content may include forward-looking statements, projections, or descriptions of products and features that are under development and have not launched. These are inherently uncertain, may change or never become available, and should not be relied upon as guarantees of future performance, availability, or outcomes.
11. Privacy
Our collection and use of information in connection with the Services is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. By using the Services, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of information as described therein.
To the extent that applicable data protection laws apply to Ripmart’s processing of your personal data in connection with the Services, Ripmart will process such personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law. If you are located in a jurisdiction that affords you specific data protection rights (which may include rights of access, rectification, erasure, data portability, or the right to object to processing), you may exercise those rights by contacting us at [contact email]. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable data protection law that cannot be contractually waived.
12. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. RIPMART AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. ANY RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL RIPMART OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RIPMART’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
The limitations and exclusions in this Section 13 do not apply to (a) liability arising from Ripmart’s fraud or willful misconduct, or (b) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ripmart and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party right; or (d) any information you submit through the Services (including through the Waitlist), except to the extent directly caused by Ripmart’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.
15. Suspension; Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services (including removing you from the Waitlist) at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, pose a security or compliance risk, or if we are required to do so to comply with law or a governmental request. You may stop using the Services, and may unsubscribe from Waitlist communications, at any time.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Sections 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, and 12–17).
16. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Except as provided below, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules (consumer rules if you are an individual, and commercial rules if you are acting on behalf of an entity), except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information, and either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court in Delaware. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, and the seat of arbitration will be Delaware (or another mutually agreed location).
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact Ripmart at [contact email] to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If Ripmart and you do not reach a resolution within thirty (30) days, either party may commence arbitration as described above.
If you are subject to Platform Terms or another agreement that contains a dispute resolution provision, that provision will govern disputes within its scope.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You agree to waive any right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against Ripmart. If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that a proceeding may proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void with respect to such proceeding and the dispute shall be subject to litigation in the courts specified in this Section 16, but the class action waiver shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You and Ripmart each waive any right to a jury trial.
Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in arbitration, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
17. Miscellaneous
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
- Force Majeure. Ripmart will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental or regulatory action, epidemics, power or telecommunications failures, or third-party service outages.
- Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.” These Terms will not be construed against the drafting party.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Ripmart regarding the Services, except for any applicable Platform Terms or Promotion Rules.
- Contact. If you have questions about these Terms, contact us at [contact email].
