If you do not agree, do not use the Vendor platform.

As a Vendor, you understand that:
• You operate an independent storefront
• You are responsible for your own compliance

• Order fulfillment and timely shipping
• Tracking, delivery, and customer communication
• Returns, refunds, and exchanges
• Client safety within lawful training standards
• Your own licenses, certifications, and insurance
• All applicable federal, state, and local laws
You must keep all listing information current and accurate.
4.1 Attendance, Check-In, and Session Management
For any time-based service, course, event, or session offered on the platform, Vendors are solely responsible for managing attendance and check-in.
Attendance is confirmed when a booking or ticket is scanned, checked in, or otherwise marked as used at the time of validation.
Vendors must ensure that tickets are scanned at or after the scheduled start time of the applicable session. Tickets scanned prior to the scheduled start time may be permanently marked as used and may not be eligible for revalidation, refund, or replacement.
Vendors are responsible for:
Proper timing of ticket scanning
Managing entry and participation
Resolving attendance-related disputes with customers
Applying their stated refund and cancellation policies consistently
Best of Black 2A does not guarantee correction or reversal of attendance records resulting from early scanning, timing errors, or vendor-managed check-in actions.
5. Shipping & Fulfillment
Best of Black 2A does not ship Vendor items.
Vendors must:
• Set accurate shipping costs and timelines
• Use lawful carriers capable of shipping the item type
• Provide tracking when available
• Replace or refund lost, damaged, or misdelivered items
• Comply with all shipping laws
Shipping disputes are between the Vendor and the customer.
6. Vendor Refunds & Cancellations
Vendors must publish their own return and refund policies.
If you do not, your sales are considered final unless required otherwise by law.
Vendors must:
• Honor posted refund policies
• Handle refund requests directly
• Resolve service or product disputes with their customers
Best of Black 2A does not issue refunds on your behalf.
Booking Cancellations
Cancellation of a booking removes the reservation and may release the associated seat or time slot back into platform availability. Cancellation of a booking does not automatically reverse or refund a completed payment transaction. Any refund must be processed by the Vendor through the applicable payment processor in accordance with the Vendor’s published refund or cancellation policy.
Attendance disputes, including those arising from ticket usage or check-in timing, must be resolved by the Vendor in accordance with their published refund and cancellation policies.
6.1 Refund Recovery and Payout Adjustments
If a customer payment is refunded, reversed, disputed, or charged back after all or part of the related funds have been transferred or scheduled for payout to the Vendor, Best of Black 2A may recover the applicable amount from the Vendor by reversing a transfer where available, offsetting the amount against future payouts, withholding current or future payouts, or using any other lawful recovery method permitted by the applicable payment processor and this Agreement.
The Vendor remains financially responsible for refunds, reversals, chargebacks, disputed transactions, and related losses arising from the Vendor’s listings, services, cancellations, conduct, or failure to fulfill a booking, even if payout has already been initiated or completed.
7. Payment Processing & Payout Requirements
Vendor payouts occur through authorized third-party processors.
As required by these processors, Vendors must:
• Complete identity and tax verification
• Provide accurate legal information
• Maintain a valid payout method
• Comply with all relevant financial regulations
You authorize Best of Black 2A and its payment processors to:
• Collect payment from buyers
• Deduct platform fees and commissions
• Remit payouts to your connected account
Improper chargebacks or fraudulent activity may result in withheld payouts or account removal.
7.1 Standard Payout Timing
Vendor payouts are processed through authorized third-party payment processors and connected account infrastructure. Standard payout timing is determined by the payment processor, connected account status, payout schedule, banking rails, risk review, reserve settings, and other operational factors. Best of Black 2A does not guarantee that payout will occur on the date of booking, the date of service, or any particular calendar date.
For clarity, customer payment collection, transfer of funds to a connected account, and disbursement of funds to a Vendor’s bank account may occur at different times. Payout timing may differ by Vendor, transaction type, country, currency, processor settings, or account standing.
7.2 Holds, Delays, Reserves, and Withholding
Best of Black 2A and its payment processors may delay, hold, reserve, suspend, review, or withhold any payout, in whole or in part, for reasons including but not limited to fraud prevention, risk review, refund exposure, disputes, chargebacks, account verification, policy enforcement, legal compliance, processor requirements, unusual transaction activity, or suspected misconduct.
Such holds or delays may apply before, on, or after a scheduled class, event, booking, or fulfillment date.
7.3 Optional Instant Payouts
Where available, eligible Vendors may be offered an optional Instant Payout feature through the applicable payment processor or connected account dashboard. Instant Payouts are not guaranteed, are subject to processor eligibility rules, supported payout methods, currency and country availability, account standing, available balance, risk review, and bank or card network limitations.
If Best of Black 2A offers Instant Payouts, a fee of 1.5% of the payout amount will apply to each Instant Payout, subject to a minimum fee of $0.50 USD and a maximum fee of $10.00 USD per payout, unless a different fee is clearly disclosed in the Vendor dashboard or payout interface at the time of request.
Any stated Instant Payout timeframe, including references to funds typically arriving within approximately 30 minutes, is an estimate only and not a guarantee. Actual timing may vary due to processor, bank, card network, weekends, holidays, compliance review, technical issues, or other delays outside Best of Black 2A’s control.
7.4 Payout Method and Vendor Responsibility
The Vendor is solely responsible for maintaining accurate payout, tax, identity, and account information and for selecting and maintaining an eligible payout method. Best of Black 2A is not responsible for failed, delayed, misdirected, rejected, or returned payouts resulting from inaccurate account details, ineligible payout methods, processor restrictions, or actions or omissions by the Vendor.
7.5 Offsets, Reversals, and Corrections
Best of Black 2A may correct payout errors and may debit, offset, reverse, net, or recoup amounts from current or future payouts to address refunds, disputes, chargebacks, duplicate payments, overpayments, processor fees, platform fees, Instant Payout fees, transfer reversals, compliance holds, or other amounts owed by the Vendor under this Agreement or applicable law.
