By providing sellers with access to the Jane Platform, and by posting certain product listings from time to time on third-party websites or channels that have a co-branding, affiliate, or other connection with Jane.com, Jane controls the marketing, promotion, and sale of participating sellers' products to end customers (the "Jane Seller Program"). Except where you have entered into a separate written agreement with Jane that, by its terms, expressly supersedes this Seller Agreement, your use of the Jane Platform and your participation in the Jane Seller Program are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Seller Agreement (this "Agreement") and such additional terms, conditions, policies, and other documents as may be incorporated herein, including, without limitation, Jane's seller policy playbook and the Jane Terms of Use. By clicking the "Accept Terms" button below or registering for the Jane Seller Program, you, the legal entity seeking to participate in the Jane Seller Program ("Seller" or "you"), signify to Jane that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you may not participate in the Jane Seller Program or access the Jane Platform. The individual signifying acceptance of this Agreement represents and warrants that he or she has full authority to accept and bind Seller to this Agreement.
1. JANE SELLER PROGRAM
- Participation in the Jane Seller Program. Subject to Seller's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Jane grants to Seller during the term of this Agreement the right to participate in the Jane Seller Program for the sole and exclusive purpose of enabling Jane to market, promote, and sell Seller Products (as defined herein) through the Jane Seller Program. Jane shall act as the merchant of record for all sales of Seller Products made through the Jane Seller Program.
- Access to the Jane Platform. Seller's access to the Jane Platform shall be per the Jane Terms of Use.
- Third-Party Channels. In connection with Seller's participation in the Jane Seller Program, Jane may, at its discretion, make Seller Product Information available through the sites, applications, and/or other channels of its Sellers, affiliates, and third-party partners including, without limitation and for example only, Facebook and other social media channels (collectively, "Third-Party Channels") for the purpose of marketing, promoting, and selling Seller Products on or through such Third-Party Channels. In addition to its obligations to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to cooperate with Jane, upon Jane's reasonable request, to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of any Third-Party Channels.
- Seller Portal. Following Seller's acceptance of this Agreement, Seller shall be granted access to and shall promptly register as a seller on Jane's online administrative tool (the "Jane Seller Portal"). Through the Jane Seller Portal, Seller shall have the ability to access the Jane Platform in order to submit Seller Product Information, track and process sales orders, and manage customer service-related activity. Seller shall access the Jane Platform via the Jane Seller Portal and through no other way.
- Seller Central. Following Seller's acceptance of this Agreement, Seller shall also be granted access to the Jane Seller community interface (the "Seller Central"), through which Seller shall have access to the Jane policies and information applicable to the Jane Seller Program, including, without limitation, the Seller Playbook (as defined herein). Jane may also post notices and provide other communications to Seller via the Seller Central. Seller should visit the Seller Central frequently and ensure it is aware of and familiar with the contents of the Seller Central. By accessing or using the Jane Seller Portal or Jane Platform, Seller signifies to Jane that it has reviewed and is familiar with all current and applicable materials and communications made available to Seller through the Seller Central.
- Seller Access. Seller shall ensure that any Seller employees or contractors that access the Jane Seller Portal and/or Seller Central through or on behalf of Seller do so only as directed and approved by Seller, and that all such employees or contractors comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Seller shall be responsible for, and will be liable to Jane with respect to, the acts or omissions of any employees or contractors in relation to the Jane Seller Portal and/or Seller Central as if they were Seller's own acts or omissions.
- Seller Products. The rights granted to Seller hereunder with respect to its participation in the Jane Seller Program and its access to and use of the Jane Platform shall apply only with respect to tangible goods which are offered for sale by Seller in the ordinary course of Seller's business and which meet each of the following criteria (collectively, "Seller Products"): (i) Seller possesses all rights and licenses necessary to promote, market, distribute, and sell such goods, and to permit Jane to do the same, and (ii) the goods are not prohibited by Jane's Prohibited Items Policy, which is a part of and available for review through the Seller Playbook (as defined herein) at https://sell.jane.com/seller-playbook#prohibited. All Seller Products shall be of high quality, free of defects, and authentic, and, in appropriate circumstances, include a certificate of authenticity.
- Stripe Connect. Jane partners with Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"), a third-party payment service provider, to collect payments for purchases made on the Jane Platform and through Third-Party Channels. Prior to Jane marketing and selling Seller's Products, Seller must successfully complete the applicable account ("Stripe Account") application process with Stripe and agree to Stripe's connected account agreement (accessible at https://stripe.com/legal/connect-account) and any other terms and conditions required by Stripe (collectively, the "Stripe Agreement"). Seller authorizes Jane to direct Stripe to direct payments to or from Seller's Stripe Account. Seller's Participation in the Jane Seller Program is subject to Seller's compliance with the Stripe Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Jane is not a party to the Stripe Agreement and Seller is solely responsible for complying with its terms and conditions. Jane is not responsible for Stripe's services or Stripe's failure to make funds available to Seller. Seller's only recourse for Stripe's failure to pay is to bring action against Stripe.
- Other Third-Party Payment Service Providers. Jane may from time to time elect to utilize payment service providers other than Stripe to complete the purchase and sale of Seller's Product. For such transactions, Seller authorizes Jane to act as Seller's payment agent and directs Jane to collect and process payments on Seller's behalf. Seller will credit the customer for the full amount of the funds received by Jane, which credit is irrevocable. Seller agrees that payment to Jane for these transactions constitutes payment to Seller and receipt of payment by Jane extinguishes Seller's obligation to customer, regardless of whether Jane actually remits such funds to Seller.

Seller grants Jane a lien and security interest in the Reserve Account. This means that if Seller has not paid funds that Seller owes Jane under this Agreement, Jane has a right superior to the rights of any of Seller's other creditors to take control of the Reserve Account and transfer funds in the Reserve Account to Jane to satisfy Seller's obligations to Jane. Upon Jane's request, Seller will execute and deliver any documents and pay any associated costs relating to creating, perfecting, or maintaining a security interest in the Reserve Account, including but not limited to executing a relevant account control agreement and the filing any relevant security interest forms contemplated under the Uniform Commercial Code.
