  1. The Alarab Market Services
  2. Posting Items, Buying and Selling

The Alarab Market Services allow you to post items for sale by uploading pictures and providing item descriptions. You can post most items through the Services without charge. Alarab Market charges a fee to post some items, for example, if you exceed your available free posts for certain types of items in certain categories. For more information on how and when fees are charged, see below.

When a buyer and seller agree on a price for an item posted for sale on the Services there are several options for completing the transaction.

If a buyer and seller agree, items may be paid for in-person and outside of the Alarab Market Services, such as by cash, check or other agreed upon payment methods. The details of such a transaction and their payments are made directly between the buyer and the seller when they complete their transaction, pursuant to terms they determine. Alarab Market is not a party to such transactions in any way, does not facilitate such transactions, and cannot assist with refunds or returns related to such transactions in any manner. Since Alarab Market is not a party or involved in transactions of this nature, you acknowledge we cannot be held liable for any claims that arise out of it.

  1. Posting Jobs

The Alarab Market Services allow businesses to post job openings for a fee, which shall be determined solely by Alarab Market and may vary according to your location, length of job posting, etc. You may not post any job openings that violate the Alarab Market Prohibited Items and Jobs Guidelines.

By posting a job on Alarab Market you are responsible to ensure the content of your posting complies with any and all applicable laws, including any local requirements regarding non-discrimination, disclosure of wages and benefits, age requirements for jobs, and other employment related disclosures for job postings. Alarab Market in no way participates in the job application or screening process. All communications between Alarab Market users and potential employers will occur outside of the Alarab Market Platform. Alarab Market may at any time, at its sole discretion, remove any job posting for any reason without providing prior notice. Please refer to our Jobs FAQ for additional information about Jobs posting options and criteria.

  1. Shipping

Alarab Market permits sellers to post certain items as being available for shipping nationwide (within the contiguous United States). Items purchased via Shipping require a user to pay for the purchase with a credit card or other electronic payment method through the Services (“Alarab Market Payment Solution”). All purchases made using the Alarab Market Payment Solution are made directly between you and the other party according to these Terms and any other terms the parties mutually determine. Alarab Market  is not a party to such transactions and disclaims any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions or provide refunds or returns, other than as expressly provided in the Purchase Protection Policies.

Sellers who post items as being available for shipping nationwide must ship their items in accordance with Alarab Market ‘s Shipping Policies, which consist of Shipping Policy, Packaging Policy, and 2-Day Purchase Protection Policy. Sellers who receive a prepaid shipping label are charged a fee for sales that results in an item being shipped. The seller may cancel an accepted offer up until the package is initially scanned for mailing by our authorized shipping partner.

Buyers who have requested items be shipped to them pay for the cost of shipping items. When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase an item and have it shipped to them, Alarab Market will charge or put a hold on the buyer’s method of payment, pending delivery of the item. Buyers can cancel an offer to purchase an item for shipping up until the seller has accepted the offer.

Alarab Market is not a party to transactions conducted between buyers and sellers, or to the shipping of items from sellers to buyers, and, other than as expressly provided in the Shipping Policy. Alarab Market is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays related to shipping and users ship any item at their own risk.

You agree not to use the Alarab Market shipping service in a manner that violates the law and/or United States Postal Service regulations, including but not limited to U.S. Postal Service Publication 52, in any way. Without limiting the forgoing, you may not ship any item that contains weapons, ammunition, explosives, living or infectious biological matter, human remains, pornography, alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, currency, dangerous goods, hazardous goods, or other goods that may not be shipped or mailed by law. Anyone who ships a prohibited, illegal, or improperly packaged or labeled material is subject to legal penalties such as civil penalties, fines and/or imprisonment, including but not limited to those specified in 18 U.S.C. § 1716 and 39 U.S.C. § 3018.

  1. Payment Accounts

If you choose to make or accept payment for shipping items using the Alarab Market Payment Solution, you agree to pay the relevant service fees. Alarab Market reserves the right to change the service fees from time to time.

Making or accepting payment using the Alarab Market Payment Solution requires you maintain an account with Alarab Market ‘s then-current payment processor for the Alarab Market Payment Solution (“Payment Provider”).

THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO USE THE ALARAB MARKET PAYMENT SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE ALARAB MARKET PAYMENT SOLUTION. IF THE PAYMENT PROVIDER REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A PAYMENT PROVIDER ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A SALE PROCESSED THROUGH THE ALARAB MARKET PAYMENT SOLUTION, THEN THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE ALARAB MARKET PAYMENT SOLUTION.

YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE SALES PROCEEDS VIA THE ALARAB MARKET PAYMENT SOLUTION MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED, OR LIMITED IF THE PURCHASE OR SALE VIOLATES ANY OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE PROHIBITED ITEMS GUIDELINES REFERENCED IN SECTION 7.

The buyer’s payment, minus any applicable Alarab Market  fee, will be released to the seller typically 3-5 business days after the purchased item has been delivered to the buyer, provided that no claims are made by the buyer under the Purchase Protection Policies. Purchase Protection claims may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released to the seller. Sellers authorize the Payment Provider to pay Alarab Market from Seller’s account any fees incurred by the Seller from using the Services.

  1. Taxes

You are responsible for any sales, use, duty, or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase or sale through the Services.

Alarab Market will collect applicable sales tax if we determine that we have a duty to collect sales tax in a given state. Alarab Market maintains a list of the states where it collects sales tax. If you are in a state where Alarab Market does not collect sales tax on your behalf, you are required to collect all applicable sales taxes for sales made through the Alarab Market Services.

Alarab Market may need to report your earnings from Alarab Market transactions to the Internal Revenue Service if you hit certain thresholds of activity on the “Alarab Market  Platform” (defined as both the Alarab Market  app and Alarab Market .com). If Alarab Market determines that it is necessary to report your earnings, our Payment Provider will ask you for personal information, such as your social security number, in order to complete tax form 1099-K. If you do not provide this information when requested, our Payment Provider mayblock payments to your bank account until they receive the necessary information.

  1. Paid Services & Subscriptions

General. While using Alarab Market is generally free, some products or services may be available for a fee (the”Paid Services”). Paid Services include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the ability to pay for more or certain types of item posts within the Alarab Market  marketplace, (ii) the ability to promote your posted item more prominently in the Services, (iii) the ability to purchase certain enhanced account features, (iv) the ability to post a Job, or (v) other services or features Alarab Market  may develop. Unless otherwise noted, Paid Services are charged, billed, and managed through your applicable Apple App Store or Google Play Store platform (each a “Platform”). Some Paid Services are one-time payments and some Paid Services are subscriptions that will renew according to the terms identified at the time of purchase.

Subscriptions. Paid Services that include a specific number of posts, promotions or Services a month or a year, and that renew either monthly or yearly, are subscriptions (a “Subscription”). The renewal period is based on the Subscription you select and the frequency of renewal will be clearly identified at the time of purchase. After you purchase a Subscription, your Platform will automatically charge you the fee for the first time period and the Platform’s payment terms will apply (please review your Platform’s payment and subscription terms for additional information on how their processes are managed). Unless otherwise stated, a Subscription will automatically renew and continue for the same price, Paid Service, and term length until you or the Platform cancel your Subscription, or Alarab Market no longer offers the Subscription.

Cancellation. There is no obligation to continue a Subscription and you can cancel at any time prior to the end of the renewal of the current Subscription period. To cancel a Subscription, locate the cancel settings in your Platform at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. If you don’t cancel within 24 hours before the end of the current period, payment for the next renewal period’s subscription fees will be automatically charged through your Platform’s payment method and you will have renewed for another renewal term; your Subscription will be canceled after the additional renewal term. For more information on how to manage subscriptions purchased through Alarab Market , you can review this help article.

Free-trial. If you enroll in a free-trial for a Paid Service, you will automatically be charged at the end of the trial period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period through your Platform account.

One-time purchase. If you purchase a one-time Paid Service that is not a Subscription, you will be charged once, and the Paid Service purchased will not auto-renew. You may repurchase again at any time.

BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION OF ANY KIND ON ALARAB MARKET YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOUR PLATFORM TERMS, AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL YOU CAN TAKE ACTIONS TO CANCEL.

If you and Alarab Market cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Fairfax County, Virginia unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration at the JAMS office closest to your residence. For purposes of this Section 21, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. Additionally, arbitrations may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $10,000. You and Alarab Market agree that arbitrations will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”), including without limitation, provisions regarding consolidation of claims. The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and Alarab Market agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce, that the enforceability of this Section 21 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), and that to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the FAA shall preempt application of state laws regarding arbitration, including without limitation, provisions of the Virginia Arbitration Act. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine whether a dispute may be arbitrated. The arbitrator may not preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, however, in the event that five or more claims in arbitration are initiated which assert the same or similar factual allegations, or raise the same or similar legal issues, we may request that the claims be consolidated for resolution consistent with Rule 6 of the Streamlined Rules, and you agree to consolidation of your claim with the claims of other claimants asserting the same or similar factual allegations, or whose claims raise the same or similar legal issues. In such a consolidated proceeding, a single arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve all consolidated claims, who shall resolve common issues of law and fact and apply such rulings consistently to the consolidated claims.

The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The arbitrator, Alarab Market, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and Alarab Market agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Alarab Market will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Alarab Market , Alarab Market will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Alarab Market agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Virginia and the United States sitting in Fairfax County, Virginia have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the use of our Services must be filed within one month after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Alarab Market will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 21 by emailing Alarab Market at support@AlarabMarket.com.

In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 23.

If any portion of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 21 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 21; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 21 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 21 will be enforceable. If you are a consumer, the provisions of this Section 21 will be modified to the extent necessary to conform to the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards.

  1. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Virginia, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Virginia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Please refer to Section I through Section III above for the categories of information we collect, the purpose for such collection, and when we share information. We retain the information we collect so long as you have an account with Alarab Market, and in some cases a longer period of time so long as such information is the subject of trust and safety matters, to comply with valid legal requests, or applicable law.

To opt out of sharing or selling to third parties, you can change your settings in the account settings menu in your mobile app or on the web or by visiting our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage. We do not knowingly sell personal information about consumers under the age of 16.

To submit a request to know about your personal information that has been collected, sold, or shared, to correct inaccurate information, or a request to delete your account, please send an email to support@Alarab Market.com. We will verify your request by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file about you. You may designate another person as your authorized agent to act on your behalf with regard to your requests. If you have designated an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, we will require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and will still ask you to verify your identity with us directly.
