Partner Agreement

This Partner Agreement ("Agreement") is between Comic Repo LLC ("Comic Repo," "we," "our," or "us") and the individual or business entity that has applied to and been approved for the Comic Repo partner program ("Partner," "you," or "your").

The relationship between Comic Repo and Partner is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, joint venture, agency, franchise, or partnership relationship between the parties. You have no authority to bind Comic Repo to any obligation.

Comic Repo is the merchant of record for all customer transactions. Customers purchase from Comic Repo; Comic Repo sources the inventory from you, the Partner. Partners do not contract directly with customers.

Participation in the partner program requires an approved application. Comic Repo reviews each application individually and may accept or decline any application at its sole discretion. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. Approval is typically communicated within 2–5 business days.

To maintain approved status, partners must complete Stripe Express onboarding before listing any products. Partners who do not complete Stripe onboarding within 30 days of approval may have their application voided.

As a partner, you are solely responsible for:

• Accurate listings:Providing truthful, accurate, and complete product descriptions, condition grades, and images. Misrepresenting an item's grade or condition is grounds for immediate account suspension.
• Inventory availability: Ensuring that items you list are actually in your possession and available to ship promptly.
• Order fulfillment: Physically picking, packing, and shipping every order that contains your products within a commercially reasonable time (generally 3–5 business days of order placement). You bear all costs of outbound shipping unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Packaging standards: Packaging comics in a manner appropriate for the item — bagged and boarded for raw issues, appropriately padded for graded slabs — to prevent transit damage.
• Compliance: Complying with all applicable laws, including those governing the sale of goods, consumer protection, and taxation.
• Account security: Keeping your partner dashboard credentials secure and notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access.

Comic Repo charges a platform fee ("Commission") on each completed sale of your products. The standard Commission rate is 7.5% of the gross sale price (excluding taxes and shipping). Your current Commission rate is always visible in your partner dashboard.

Custom rates: High-volume partners may negotiate a custom Commission rate. Any custom rate must be agreed to in writing (email to [email protected] is sufficient) and takes effect on the next settlement period after confirmation.

Rate changes: Comic Repo may adjust the standard Commission rate with 30 days' prior written notice. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of a rate change constitutes your acceptance of the new rate.

Your earnings: Your net earnings for each settled period equal the gross sale price of your products, less the Commission, less any amounts withheld for returns, chargebacks, or other adjustments.

Earnings are settled on the schedule you select in your dashboard: weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect Express directly to the bank account you configured during Stripe onboarding.

Eligible orders only:Only orders with a fulfillment status of "delivered" (confirmed by tracking) are included in settlement calculations. Orders that have not shipped, are in transit, or have been cancelled or refunded are not included.

Minimum payout threshold: A minimum balance of $25.00 must be reached before a payout is initiated. Balances below the threshold carry forward to the next settlement period.

Holds and adjustments: Comic Repo may withhold or adjust payouts to account for pending returns, customer disputes, chargebacks, or suspected fraud. We will notify you of any hold placed on your account and the reason for it.

Taxes: You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on your earnings. Comic Repo will provide any required tax documentation (e.g., Form 1099) where applicable under U.S. law.

By submitting product listings (including photos, descriptions, grades, and other content) through the partner dashboard, you grant Comic Repo LLC a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, display, reproduce, modify for format compatibility, and distribute that content in connection with the Service — including on the Comic Repo website, in marketing materials, and in social media — for the duration of this Agreement and as reasonably necessary thereafter (e.g., in archived order records).

You represent and warrant that you own or have the right to grant this license for all content you submit, and that the content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.

As a partner, you agree not to:

• List items you do not own or do not have the right to sell
• Misrepresent the grade, condition, or identity of any item
• Accept payment for items you have no intention of shipping
• Circumvent the platform's fulfillment confirmation process
• Communicate directly with customers to direct them off-platform
• List counterfeit, stolen, or unlicensed reproduction comics
• Manipulate listings, reviews, or sales data
• Violate any applicable law in connection with your use of the platform

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Comic Repo LLC, its members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your product listings or the items you supply, including any claim that an item is counterfeit, stolen, or infringes a third-party right; (c) your fulfillment activities, including shipping damage caused by your packaging; or (d) your violation of any applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Comic Repo's total liability to a Partner for any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall not exceed the total Commission fees paid by Comic Repo to that Partner in the 3 months preceding the claim. Comic Repo shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

Comic Repo may update this Agreement from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days' written notice of material changes via email to your registered address. Your continued use of the partner dashboard after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

Commission rate changes are governed by Section 4 (30 days' notice) and do not require acceptance of a full Agreement update.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona.
