with the required steps relating to the listing of Items.

constitutes an offer for sale of the relevant Item by the Seller, which may be accepted by a Buyer.

(including the price) anytime before a Buyer clicks on the “Buy now” button for such Item.

BUYING ITEMS ON THE APP
4.1 Buying an Item. A Buyer can use the “Buy now” button to buy an Item. For safety reasons, we always
recommend that Buyers buy in-app or on-web by using the "Buy now" button, in which case the Buyer is
covered by Buyer Protection (see Section 5 below for additional details). If a Buyer concludes the
Transaction outside of the App directly with the Seller and without using our “Buy now” button, Buyer
Protection will not apply and Fishagora will not be able to assist the Buyer in the event any problems occur
with the Transaction.
4.2 Pay now. By using the “Pay now” button and confirming the Buyer’s details during the Checkout
process, the Buyer acknowledges that their acceptance of the Seller’s offer has been made in consideration
of the Item as described in the Item’s description. Both the Buyer and the Seller acknowledge that using the
“Pay now” button and confirming the Buyer’s details creates a legally binding contract between the Buyer
and the Seller, and the Buyer has a commitment to pay for the Item and the Seller has a commitment to
transfer ownership of the Item. To avoid doubt, Fishagora is not a party to this contract.
5. BUYER PROTECTION SERVICE
5.1 Buyer Protection. Buyer Protection is added for a fee to every purchase made using the “Buy now”
button. Buyer Protection enables a Buyer to seek a refund in certain circumstances, as further described in
this Section 5.
5.2 Buyer Protection Fee. The Buyer Protection Fee is calculated as follows:
ï‚· A fixed amount of $1; plus
ï‚· An amount equal to 15% of the Item price agreed between the Buyer and the Seller (not including
shipping costs, any additional costs and applicable taxes).
5.3 Process for Receiving a Refund Under Buyer Protection. Buyer Protection includes the right for a
Buyer to seek a refund in the event (i) an Item is lost during shipping or (ii) the delivered Item is damaged
or (iii) is significantly not as described in the listing for the Item. In such circumstances, the Buyer must
report the issue to Fishagora within two (2) days after the date the Item is marked as ‘delivered’ in
Fishagora’s system (Fishagora notifies the Buyer when this occurs) (such 2-day period, the “Dispute Filing
Period”). If there is a mistake in the reported ‘delivered’ date and the item has not been actually delivered
to the Buyer, the Buyer must still report the issue within the Dispute Filing Period; otherwise, the
Transaction will be marked as completed. To report an issue to Fishagora, the Buyer must click the “I have
an Issue” button in their Private Message with the Seller within the Dispute Filing Period. Otherwise, the
Transaction will be completed and money will be transferred to the Seller.
5.3.1. Items Lost During Shipping. If the Buyer did not receive an Item, the Buyer must inform Fishagora
by clicking on the “I have an issue” button within the Dispute Filing Period. This will suspend the
Transaction and the Total Price will be retained until Fishagora investigates where the Item is and receives
confirmation from the shipping provider that the Item is confirmed lost. Once the Item has been confirmed
as lost, Fishagora will request, and Stripes. will issue a refund to the Buyer for the Total Price.
5.3.2. Damaged Items or Significantly Not As Described Items. If the Buyer receives an Item that has
been damaged during shipment or is significantly not as described in the Item’s listing, the Buyer must
inform Fishagora by clicking on the “I have an issue” button within the Dispute Filing Period. This will
suspend the Transaction and the Total Price will not be released to the Seller until the following process is
complete:
(i) The Buyer and Seller can resolve the issue between themselves in their Private Messages and Fishagora
will not interfere.
(ii) If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve the issue directly, the Buyer or the Seller can escalate
the issue to Fishagora by contacting Fishagora’s Customer Support from their Private Message. After
Fishagora has reviewed the issue, if Fishagora agrees that the Item indeed does not substantially comply
with the description provided by the Seller in the Item listing or that the item was damaged during transit,
Fishagora will cancel the Transaction and instruct Stripe to issue a refund to the Buyer after the Buyer
confirms that the Item has been shipped back to the Seller. Fishagora does not provide return shipping
services. Shipping costs for returning an Item are the responsibility of the Buyer, unless the Buyer and the
Seller agree otherwise. If the Buyer does not send the Item back within the period stipulated by Fishagora,
the Buyer may not be eligible to receive a refund under Buyer Protection. If Fishagora determines that there
are strong indications that the received Item is a counterfeit, then Fishagora may decide, in its sole
discretion, that the Buyer does not need to send back the Item in order to get a refund and the Buyer and the
Seller will respect such decision.
(iii) If the Buyer and the Seller resolve the issue privately after having already contacted Fishagora’s
Customer Support, the Users must inform Fishagora (by contacting Fishagora’s Customer Support) that the
issue has been resolved.
(iv) With respect to an Item that a Buyer has reported is significantly not as described in the Item’s listing,
if Fishagora determines that the Item complies with the description provided by the Seller in the Item
listing, then the Buyer shall not be eligible for a refund through Fishagora and Fishagora will direct Stripe
to complete the Transaction in accordance with Section 6.4. After the Transaction is completed and the
money in escrow is released to the Seller, the Buyer can try to negotiate directly with the Seller for the
return of the Item (e.g., agreement on reimbursement, return shipping fees, etc.); however, the Seller may
refuse to cooperate with the Buyer on the grounds that the Transaction has been fulfilled from the Seller
side.
5.3.3 No Refund. If there is something wrong with the Item received by the Buyer or the Item was not
received by the Buyer but:
(i) the Buyer does not click the “I have an issue” button within the Dispute Filing Period; or
(ii) the Buyer confirmed that the Item is acceptable (by clicking the “Everything is ok” button in the Private
Message)
the Transaction will be completed automatically and the Buyer will not be entitled to a refund under Buyer
Protection for that Item and the money that the Seller is entitled to for the Transaction will be released by
Stripe to the Seller.
5.4 Not Insurance. Buyer Protection is not insurance services or legal protection guarantee services.
5.5 Acknowledgment that Fishagora Makes Final Decisions. Users agree to comply with the process for
receiving a refund under Buyer Protection and to permit Fishagora to make the final decision on any Buyer
Protection-related issue.
5.6 Refunds for Bundles.
5.6.1 Bundles Lost During Shipping. If the Buyer purchased a Bundle and the bundled Items are lost
during shipment, then the Buyer should follow the Buyer Protection process in Section 5.3.1.
5.6.2 Bundles With Damaged Items or Significantly Not As Described Items. If the Buyer purchased a
Bundle and the Buyer considers any of the Items in the Bundle as damaged during shipment or significantly
not as described in the Item’s listing, then the Buyer should follow the Buyer Protection process in Section
5.3.2. If the Buyer chooses to return any of the Items in the Bundle, then the Buyer must return all Items in
the Bundle (i.e., not just the damaged/misdescribed Items). Shipping costs for returning a Bundle are the
responsibility of the Buyer, unless the Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise. The refund under Buyer
Protection will be issued for all Items in the Bundle (i.e., not just the damaged/misdescribed Items).
6. INTEGRATED PAYMENT SERVICE
6.1 Calculating the Total Price. Integrated Payment Service enables the Buyer to pay in advance the total
amount due for the Transaction, which consists of:
(i) the price for the Item(s) purchased from the Seller;
(ii) the Shipping fees;
(iii) the Buyer Protection fee; and
(iv) any applicable taxes
(collectively, (i)-(iv), the “Total Price”).
6.2 Payment Methods. Payment for the Total Price can be made by credit or debit card or any other
payment method introduced from time to time on the App. If a credit or debit card or other payment
method that is suspected to belong to a third person is provided by a User on the App, the User may be
required to provide additional proof that a credit or debit card or other payment method does belong to a
User (the same applies for Paying for Additional Services as described below). If the Buyer has funds
available on the Fishagora wallet (Balance), such funds will be automatically used to make purchases on
the Site from other Users. If the Buyer does not have enough funds in their e-wallet to cover the total
amount due, Buyer can cover the missing portion by paying through other available payment methods.
6.3 Paying for Additional Services. To pay for Additional Services, the User must provide their credit or
debit card information or necessary details for any other payment method available on the App.
6.4 Completion of a Transaction. The Total Price paid by the Buyer in advance will be retained by Stripe
in escrow until a Transaction is completed. A Transaction is considered complete:
(i) when the Buyer confirms through the App that the delivered Item(s) complies with the conditions of the
offer by clicking “Everything is ok”; or
(ii) automatically after the expiration of the Dispute Filing Period if no disputes about the Item(s) are
reported during the Dispute Filing Period; or
(iii) after the resolution of a dispute that was reported during the Dispute Filing Period.
Once a Transaction is completed, the purchase price of the Item, and if the Custom Shipping option was
used (as described in Section 7.1), also the shipping fees, will be immediately transferred by Stripe to the
Seller’s Fishagora wallet. At any time, a User can elect to have the funds available in a User’s wallet
transferred by Stripe. to the User’s personal bank account without any transfer fee; however, for the first
pay-out, a User must provide bank account details as described in Section 6.5.1 below. Please also review
Section 6.5.1 below for the limitations which may apply for the pay-outs.
6.5 Fishagora Wallet.
6.5.1 Setting Up Fishagora Wallet. Fishagora wallet (Balance) feature is a payment service provided by
Stripe When a User opens the wallet, the User enters into a contract directly with Stripe., and the User will
be accepting Stripe’s terms and conditions. Users will be asked to confirm this during wallet creation. For
the first sale Transaction where the Buyer purchases an Item using the “Buy now” button, the Seller will be
asked to open the wallet by providing the Seller’s name, surname, date of birth, SSN number, address, and
phone number (if required). If the Seller fails to do so in 5 days, the sale Transaction will be canceled.
Before the first sale Transaction takes place, Sellers can also open the wallet on their own initiative by
going to their account’s settings (Select “Balance”, then press “Activate Balance”) and providing required
data.
Once the wallet confirmation is completed and the wallet is opened, Users will be subject to regulatory
procedures applied by Stripe. such as identity check and other requirements. The User’s wallet may be
suspended and the User will not be able to pay out or reach the funds until User’s identity is successfully
confirmed. If a User uploaded a fraudulent document or took any other action and Stripe deemed such User
as fraudulent, they will no longer be able to overcome check again and Users funds will remain restricted.
After a User confirms the User’s wallet and makes a successful sale for the first time, the User will be able
to transfer amounts from the User’s wallet to the User’s bank account, the transfer will be performed by
Stripe. To enable this option, the User must first go to User account settings and add the User’s bank
account number, full name and billing address. Afterward the user will be able to make pay-outs to his/ her
bank account freely. However, if a user reaches the thresholds (which are set by Stripe)or during
transaction monitoring suspicious activity is caught by Stripe, the pay-outs option will be stopped too, until
the user successfully finishes the procedure.
6.6 Stripe Fishagora contracts with Stripe to process payments made using the Integrated Payment Service
and store information relating to the credit cards, debit cards, and any other payment method offered on the
Site. Additionally, Stripe provides escrow services--when a Buyer makes a purchase by using the “Buy
now” button, Stripe acquires funds from the Buyer on behalf of the Seller and holds those funds for
disbursement. Fishagora supports its Users in using the services provided by Stripe and provides direct
assistance to Users for such services; however, to avoid doubt, Fishagora does not provide any payment
processing or money transmission services for Users. Users are solely responsible for providing accurate
information associated with credit cards, debit cards, and any other payment method offered on the App
and Fishagora hereby disclaims any responsibility and all liability for User-provided information to the full
extent permitted by applicable law.
6.7 Additional Integrated Payment Service Restrictions.
6.7.1 No Third-Party Use. The right to use the Integrated Payment Service is only for sales in a User’s
own name. A User may not resell, hire, or on any other basis allow third parties to use the Integrated
Payment Service to enable such third parties to be paid for their services.
6.7.2 Permitted Items Only. The Integrated Payment Service is only for Items on the App and not for any
other products or services. Users may use the Integrated Payment Service only for Items that comply with
the Catalog Rules and that are not on Stripe’s list of prohibited items.
6.8 Suspension. Fishagora retains the right to suspend your right to use the Integrated Payment Service and
other Services, as further described below.
6.8.1 Inaccurate Information. If Fishagora at any time discovers that any information a User provides
about himself/herself is incorrect or has changed without the User informing Fishagora, Fishagora may
immediately suspend the User’s Account (including any in-progress transactions).
6.8.2 Suspected Fraud. If there are consistent and objective reasons to suspect that a fraud of any kind
whatsoever has been committed or carried out by a User, Fishagora may immediately suspend the User’s
Account while the suspected fraud is investigated (including any in-progress transactions).
6.8.3 Problems Reported by Stripe.. In the event Stripe reports any issues or concerns to Fishagora (such
as suspected illegal sales on the App, money laundering, spamming, violation of Stripe terms and
conditions). Fishagora may immediately suspend the User’s Account (including any in-progress
transactions) while the issue or concern is investigated.
6.8.4 User-Initiated Dispute. If any User initiates a dispute resolution procedure in relation to a
Transaction via an external payment service provider and there are objective and legitimate reasons to
believe that the User has violated applicable laws, breached these Terms and/or misused the App, Fishagora
may immediately suspend the User’s Account (including any in-progress transactions).
7. INTEGRATED SHIPPING SERVICE
7.1 Integrated Shipping Service Overview. Except as stated below, the Integrated Shipping Service is
applied to every Transaction concluded using the “Buy now” button. The Buyer will pay for the Integrated

be automatically generated and provided to the Seller who must use that label to send the Item to the Buyer

from escrow to Fishagora.

Shipping Services (“Shipping Fees”) are shown after clicking on an Item in the Catalog on the Item Page.

7.4 Commitment to Ship. As soon as the Buyer has paid the Total Price, Fishagora informs the Seller that
the item was sold and should be shipped to the Seller. The Seller is responsible for shipping out the Item to
the Buyer within five (5) working days after Fishagora provides shipping instructions. If the Seller does not
ship the Item within such a 5-day period, Fishagora has the right to cancel the Transaction and direct Stripe
to release the Total Price held in escrow to the Buyer. This refund of the Total Price will constitute the
Buyer’s only recourse under their contract with the Seller and these Terms and will be the Buyer’s sole
remedy for the canceled Transaction.

states or regions. If Integrated Shipping Services are unavailable, the Seller and the Buyer must agree on

indicated in the Price List. In its sole discretion, Fishagora may update the Price List from time to time (and
updates may include price changes) as per Section 1.5 of these Terms. Price List changes will not apply to
ongoing Transactions (i.e., Transactions for which a Buyer has already made a payment). The updated
Price List shall become effective and replace the prior Price List at the time of posting or such other time as
may be indicated by Fishagora. If you do not agree with or accept the updated Price List, you can choose to
not access and use the Site, to terminate your relationship with Fishagora, and to close your User account
(as further described in Section 16.1). You will be deemed to have accepted the updated Price List if you

9. INTERACTION AND MESSAGES ON THE SITE
9.1 Private messages.
The exchange of Private Messages between Users is for the purpose of exchanging information between
Users regarding the Items in the Catalog. If a User sends Private Messages to another User, they must not
send:
1. messages or information that feature advertising;
2. content spreading viruses, worms, or other malicious codes;
3. spam or mass mailing messages of any kind (e.g., when a message is sent to more than five Users
simultaneously or when the same message is copied and sent to Users who have not asked to
receive the message);
4. messages containing content contrary to good moral standards and public order; inappropriate,
insulting or defamatory messages; or messages otherwise regarded as incompatible with these
Terms and the interests of Users;
5. messages of an unlawful nature or otherwise intended to cause harm to other Users and/or the Site;
or
6. messages that may qualify as harassment of any kind whatsoever.
Fishagora may use automated software that is designed to use algorithms to detect contents of Private
Messages that are contrary to good moral standards and public order or that are inappropriate, insulting, or
defamatory. If the automated software detects a Private Message containing any such content, without
limiting other remedies available to Fishagora, (i) the Private Message and User may be blocked and/or the
Private Message may be hidden from the User to whom it was sent and (ii) the User who sent such Private
Message may receive a warning reminding the User of their obligation to comply with these Terms and
informing the User that Fishagora may take further steps such as suspending the User's Account in case of
further violations. Fishagora’s use of such automated software does not create a monitoring obligation on
Fishagora nor an obligation to actively search for unlawful activities and/or content on the Site and, to the
extent permitted by the applicable law, does not give rise to any liability on Fishagora.
9.2 User Reviews.
A User has the right to write a review concerning another User only if a Transaction was completed
between the Users. The review may be published on the Site. No compensation is given to Users or to
Fishagora in exchange for online reviews. A User’s review on another User must always be fair and honest.
Lies and insults are forbidden. Fishagora does not check reviews prior to publication on the Site by Users.
If any review that has been published on the Site is inappropriate or abusive or otherwise does not comply
with these Terms, Users may report the review to Fishagora in accordance with the reporting procedure
