Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 30, 2026
Welcome to ThriftIt. Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using our circular fashion discovery board and directory (referred to as the "Service", "Platform", or "us"). By accessing or using the Service, you ("User", "Buyer", or "Seller") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
β οΈ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: ThriftIt is a community-driven discovery board and directory platform. We are NOT a retailer, store, e-commerce platform, shipping carrier, or payment processor. All transactions and agreements are coordinated and finalized directly between buyers and sellers on independent external social platforms.
1. Platform Scope & No-Fee Intermediary Role
ThriftIt acts solely as a P2P search directory and listing board designed to index vintage, curated, and pre-loved apparel. We facilitate circular fashion discovery by aggregating clothing listings and redirecting interested buyers to the seller's external profile page (such as Instagram, Reddit, or X).
- 100% Free Listing & Discovery: Listing and browsing on ThriftIt is completely free. We do not charge listing fees, sales commissions, registration fees, or buyer surcharges.
- Project Sustainability: The Service is operated purely out of passion. We make no promise or guarantee of perpetual availability, server uptime, or permanent operation. The Platform is hosted until our operational funding is exhausted.
2. Absolute Disclaimer of Transaction Liability
Because all checkout processes and payments are finalized off-platform directly between buyers and sellers, ThriftIt has zero control over, zero visibility into, and zero liability for any transaction, communication, or agreement.
- We do not hold, receive, process, withhold, or manage buyer payments or seller revenues.
- We are not a party to, nor do we act as an agent or mediator in, any purchase, sale, or trade.
- We do not verify the authenticity, quality, safety, condition, legality, or description of any clothing item indexed.
- Users release ThriftIt, its developers, and affiliates from all claims, demands, and damages (actual or consequential) arising out of or in any way connected to disputes with other users or external platforms.
3. Shipping, Logistics, and Returns Disclaimer
All logistics, including parcel packaging, dispatch times, shipping fees, courier selections, customs duties, tracking updates, and delivery fulfillment, are the sole responsibility of the individual Seller.
- Returns & Refunds: Refund policies, dispute resolutions, and return arrangements are decided entirely by the individual Seller. ThriftIt has no administrative power or mechanism to process refunds, force returns, or reverse direct payments.
- In the event of lost packages, transit delays, or damaged goods, the Buyer must seek redress directly from the Seller or their courier provider.
4. Prohibited Listings & User Code of Conduct
By publishing apparel listings on our board, Sellers warrant that they possess legal ownership of the items and that their descriptions are highly accurate.
The listing of the following items is strictly prohibited:
- Counterfeit, replicated, or bootlegged trademarked goods representing unauthorized brands.
- Heavily soiled, unhygienic, heavily damaged, or unusable apparel.
- Illegal merchandise, hazardous materials, non-apparel items, or listings depicting adult/offensive material.
ThriftIt reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion and without prior warning, to instantly delete, suppress, or modify any listing or user profile that violates these guidelines or harms the safety of the community.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties ("As-Is" Service)
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PLATFORM WILL ALWAYS BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR DISRUPTION-FREE.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT INITIATE, JOIN, PARTICIPATE IN, OR COOPERATE WITH ANY LAWSUIT, CIVIL ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT, OR OTHER LEGAL ACTION OF ANY KIND AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL OWNER(S) AND DEVELOPERS OF THIS WEBSITE. YOU AGREE TO FULLY INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE WEBSITE OWNER(S) FROM ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, OR LEGAL EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO YOUR LISTINGS, ACTIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR OFF-PLATFORM TRANSACTIONS.
7. Governing Law & Amendments
