- "Shopper" means any person who uses the Virtual Storefronts platform to view Announcements, Storefronts or any other content
- Virtual Storefront or “Storefront” refers to the web page and publishing features the Company hosts on behalf of the Merchant or Organization Customer
- “Pilot Merchant Partner” means any Virtual Storefronts Customer who purchased their Storefront between January 14, 2021 and September 30, 2023, before the official Nationwide launch of Virtual Storefronts on October 1, 2023
- “Nationwide Merchant Partner” means any Virtual Storefront Customer who purchased their Storefront on October 1, 2023 or later
1. Virtual Storefronts Merchant Partner Program Overview, Specifications and Conditions
- Definitions: By making this purchase of a Virtual Storefront (“Storefront”), you (the “Customer” and “Merchant Partner”) agree to participate in the Merchant Partner Program for Virtual Storefronts by UspaceⓇ as administered by Unpublished Space LLC (the Company) doing business as USPACEⓇ of Georgia, USA
- Product: Seller agrees to provide Buyer a Virtual Storefront (“Storefront”) as demonstrated in Web App located at www.virtualstorefronts.com. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless for any errors or omissions related to the fulfillment of their Storefront; publishing of their data correct or incorrect; or any interaction or representation of Buyer’s business with visitors and Shoppers to the www.virtualstorefronts.com website and web app or any future related application containing Buyer’s data.
- Timeframe Of Annual Subscriptions: Your annual subscription begins on the date of purchase and includes the time it takes for the Company and its Merchant Ambassadors to assist Buyer in creating and building your Storefront before it is published. Buyer has the option of creating their own Storefront before purchase. After purchase and review of Storefront for compliance with our Terms of Use and Standards of Good Faith, your Storefront will be published. If there are no issues, changes or corrections, your Storefront is usually launched (published ‘live’) in as few as 7 days from date of purchase.
- Definition of Pilot Program and Nationwide Program: Virtual Storefronts delivers extraordinary value as a website solution, search engine solution and local media marketing tool. Today’s Storefront is the product of continuous iterations and improvement in the core “Storefront” product we began providing to our Pilot Merchant Partners on January 14, 2021. From the day we launched the app, hosted first at Virtualstorefront.co then moved to Virtualstorefronts.com, we believe our product has delivered full value for its low price. First as a website solution in 2021. Next as a search engine marketing solution in 2022. And as an Area Live Feed marketing tool starting in late 2022.
However, we reserve the right to not charge a renewal fee for any Pilot Merchant Partner (or even in some extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances for a Nationwide Merchant Partner) for any reason including but not necessarily limited to the Company having limited resources to deliver documents showing ‘proof of value’ and other benefits prior to renewal. Another reason might be that a particular network feature that a business prioritizes benefits from has not yet matured in a way that delivers a desired level of impact. This could be another instance in which not charging a customer facilitates the continuation of a mutually beneficial relationship between the Company and the Customer along with facilitating the ongoing growth, improvement, and optimization of the Virtual Storefronts By Uspace technology network.
- Covers All Products And Services Offered To Buyers: These Terms and Conditions govern all other products and services provided to all Buyers of Virtual Storefronts and Unpublished Space LLC (the Company) products and services including but not limited to advertising services, product upgrades and alternative services.
- Good Faith: This agreement is entered into by both parties in Good Faith, meaning that each party holds itself responsible for upholding basic ethical standards required to conduct business in a reasonable, honest, and lawful manner. Buyers found by the Company in violation of Good Faith may forfeit any privilege granted to Buyer, including but not limited to having their Storefront taken down at the discretion of the Company without further compensation and with no explanation required.
- Fair Use For Promotion: Unless Buyer specifically requests that images that represent their business as a Merchant Partner not be used for public disclosures on video, print and web, and other reasonable disclosure and promotion of your participation in Virtualstorefronts.com, we reserve the right to use this information for promotion on all channels.
- Delivery of Data: Buyer understands that certain data is required from them for Virtual Storefronts to fulfill product delivery. Buyer agrees to not hold Seller responsible for delivery of product, refund or liability in any instance in which Seller has not been provided with data required to produce a Virtual Storefront for the Buyer. Buyers are ultimately responsible for creating and maintaining their own account, data, and other assets on their Storefront as they have access to and ownership of their Storefront at all times via the Merchant Admin Panel feature at Virtualstorefronts.com.
- Storefront Approval Process: Buyer understands that a timely reply to the delivery of Storefront draft is required to publish Storefront and make available to search engine crawlers. If a Storefront draft has been delivered and the Company has not had a reply from the Storefront Buyer within a period of 10 days, the Storefront is considered approved and ready for publishing on Virtual Storefronts. The Company will not be held liable for publication of Storefronts that are approved by default in this manner. The Buyer may ask for their Storefront to be taken down or not posted at any time in the process. Virtual Storefronts will usually be able to complete a ‘take-down request’ within 24 hours.
- Refund: If the Company does not, or cannot for whatever reason, provide an “as is” product as demonstrated at www.virtualstrorefronts.com, Buyer will be issued a refund for the full amount of purchase. Products that are produced and delivered as demonstrated are not refundable. If you are unsatisfied with our product you are guaranteed your money back within 30 days of the date of purchase.
- Future development: Buyers may be granted certain upgrades to the www.virtualstorefronts.com platform in the future associated with the core Merchant Partner package as the product grows and evolves. In some cases, future upgrades may not be included and may require additional purchases. Upgrades granted and not granted to Buyers in the future are at the sole discretion of the Company.
- Terms For Renewals: Renewals occur annually on the date of original purchase by an automated subscription service. Buyers are generally notified of a pending renewal 30 days before renewal. Unless your subscription is canceled, your renewal may be automatically charged to the credit card provided.
- How To Cancel Your Subscription: Please email support@virtualstorefronts.com with the subject line: Cancel Subscription. In the body please include the name and email address you used to make your initial purchase. We will cancel your subscription within 3 days of receipt.
- 30 Day Money Back Guarantee: If you are not satisfied with the Storefront that is delivered to you within 30 days from date of purchase, you can request a full refund. Email support@virtualstorefronts.com. Subject line: Money Back Guarantee. Body: Please include the email address and name used at time of purchase.
