2. BuyStyle® Service Generally
(a) Description.
The BuyStyle® Service is an online offering where individuals or entities that have signed up with BuyStyle® as Members (each, a “Member”) can post specific story profiles, including illustrative samples or other media (each, a “Profile’, “Story Profile”), and obtain a style kit (each, a “Style Kit”) to those Profile from Stylists retained by BuyStyle® (“Stylists”). BuyStyle® will provide you, as a Member, the Service according to the Style Kit you have chosen.
(b) Story Profile, Style Kits
You are solely responsible for preparing and posting a detailed Story Profile to the Web Site, including providing samples illustrating your Profile and any relevant deadlines.
For each Style Kit to a Profile that you want to receive, a term and condition sheet (a “Term Sheet”) will be generated that will contain, and be subject to, the terms and conditions you have established in the Story Profile. BuyStyle® is under no obligation to review a Story Profile or Term Sheet for any purpose, including accuracy, completeness of information, quality or clarity. However, BuyStyle® shall do it’s best to notify members of any obvious discrepancies.
(c) Style Kits.
When BuyStyle provides you with a Style Kit, you are responsible for reviewing the Kit. If you fail to inform BuyStyle within 72 hours that the Kit is not reasonably responsive to the related Story Profile, you will be deemed to have accepted the Kit. If you notify BuyStyle® that you think a Kit is not reasonably responsive to the related Story Profile, you shall then submit to the Web Site a Revised Story Profile containing information regarding amendments or modification to be made to the initial Profile. After you provide BuyStyle® with a Revised Profile, BuyStyle® will consider providing you with supplements to your Style Kit that conform to the additional criteria you requested. BuyStyle® is not responsible for the content of Style Kits developed to the extent that such Style Kits are prepared to conform to your Story Profile and Revisions.
d) Member Accounts.
When you register for the Service, you must pay for the Service via credit card, or other payment method expressly authorized by BuyStyle®. You will be charged for the Style Kit you have selected. If you pay by credit card, you will be required to provide a valid credit card number and credit card billing address when registering as a Member. BuyStyle® will e-mail you a receipt for the transactions in which you are involved.
