YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.

Overview of Primary Services

DropVendor provides a payment platform to facilitate tip payments and between a patron and a payee, or transactions between a single buyer and single seller. A seller will upload one or more digital files to the DropVendor Service, provide some amount of Descriptive Information to support each piece of content, and assign a Sale Price to each piece of downloadable content. The Seller is then provided with a Publicly Shareable Paid Access Link which can be distributed to the Customer. The Publicly Shareable Paid Access Link will load an instance of the DropVendor "DV Kiosk", which is a digital Point-of-Sale for one individual piece of content, displaying that Descriptive Information and Sale Price provided by the Seller.

The DropVendor "DV Kiosk" includes a Credit Card payment form. When a submitted payment results in successful verification and transaction, the Customer is instantly presented with a clickable link to download the Content. An email will be sent containing this same clickable Download link, to the (required) email address provided by the Customer prior to completing payment through DV Kiosk.

When a Seller uploads content on DropVendor and produces Publicly Shareable Paid Access Links, they are inviting other people to form a contract with them by completing the DV Kiosk payment form. Anybody who completes payment through DV Kiosk is accepting the Seller's offer of the digital content, prior to being able to review it in full, and is forming that contract with the Seller.

DropVendor is not a part of the contract - the contract is a direct legal agreement between the Seller and the Customer who submits payment through DV Kiosk. Here are the terms that govern that agreement:

  • When a tip payment has successfully transacted through DropVendor, the Tipper is instantly delivered an email confirmation receipt. The DropVendor User (Payee) is also sent an email confirmation.
  • When a payment for sale of a piece of digital content has successfully transacted through DropVendor, the Buyer is instantly delivered a clickable download link on the DV Kiosk Payment Confirmation page, which loads instantly upon transaction. The buyer is also sent an email containing the same download link.
  • Sellers owe their Buyers a high standard of effort, honest communication, and a dedication to properly representing the content which they are offering for sale through DV Kiosk. At the same time, Buyers must understand that when they submit payment through DV Kiosk to receive access to download the specific digital content, they understand that the content they'll be receiving is offered AS-IS by the Seller.
  • DropVendor is responsible for delivering the content stored by the Seller at the time of a successful Buyer transaction. In the event that a Seller deletes a piece of content from their DropVendor account, then the Publicly Shareable Paid Access Link will no longer be active.
  • DropVendor is not responsible for the correctness, utility, merchantability, or fitness for a specific purpose of any piece of content made accessible through the DV Kiosk Paid Access portal.
  • DropVendor holds back a flat percentage fee from all payments processed through the service. See the online Help Center for more information on transaction fees.
  • DropVendor does not provide refunds to Buyers for any reason, including in cases where the quality of any Delivered Content does not meet expectations of Buyer. In any event of a dispute regarding quality of a digital file or contents thereof, the Buyer and Seller will work together to resolve the matter directly.
  • DropVendor does not provide refunds to Tippers (Payers) for any reason. In any event of a dispute regarding quality of a digital file or contents thereof, the Tipper (Payer) and DropVendor User (Payee) will work together to resolve the matter directly.
