PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR PARTICIPATING IN THE ITEM INSTOCK MEETUP BETA PROGRAM (“MEETUP BETA”), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THE ITEM INSTOCK TERMS OF SERVICE, PRIVACY POLICY, AND ALL POLICIES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MUST NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETUP BETA.

The Item Instock Meetup Beta is an optional feature that allows buyers and vendors on Item Instock (“Item Instock,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to arrange in-person meetups to complete a transaction outside the standard Item Instock online checkout process. These Meetup Beta Terms supplement, and do not replace, the Item Instock Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Item Instock Terms of Service shall control.

Participation in the Meetup Beta is voluntary. You must be at least 18 years old, have an Item Instock account in good standing, and reside in an eligible location where the Meetup Beta is available. Location information is approximate and may be determined using user-provided address details or IP-based data. Item Instock does not use precise GPS tracking.

Either the buyer or the vendor may accept or decline a meetup invitation at any time. There is no obligation to complete a transaction in person. If a meetup invitation is declined, the parties may still proceed with a standard online Item Instock transaction.

Meetup Beta transactions may involve payments made outside the Item Instock platform, including cash or other mutually agreed payment methods. Item Instock is not a party to offline transactions and does not process, hold, verify, or guarantee such payments. As a result, Item Instock cannot assist with refunds, returns, disputes, chargebacks, or payment issues arising from Meetup Beta transactions.

Solely in connection with Meetup Beta transactions, certain restrictions under the Item Instock Prohibited Conduct Policy may not apply, including proposing in-person transactions, discussing or completing payments outside the platform, or sharing limited personal information necessary to facilitate a meetup. All other platform rules and policies continue to apply to non-meetup transactions.

Meetup Beta transactions are not covered by Item Instock Buyer Protection, Seller Protection, Refunds and Returns, shipping protection, or dispute resolution services. Buyers are responsible for inspecting items before completing the transaction, and any dispute related to a Meetup Beta transaction is strictly between the buyer and the vendor.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT INTERACTING WITH OTHER USERS AND MEETING IN PERSON CARRIES INHERENT RISKS. ITEM INSTOCK DOES NOT VERIFY USER BACKGROUNDS OR CONDUCT BEYOND PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS. ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU SHARE WITH ANOTHER USER IS PROVIDED VOLUNTARILY AND AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS WHEN ENGAGING IN OFFLINE OR IN-PERSON TRANSACTIONS.

Item Instock reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Meetup Beta program, or to suspend or terminate your participation if your account is not in good standing or if your actions are unauthorized, abusive, deceptive, fraudulent, or unlawful. Continued participation after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
