Merchant User Agreement
Effective Date: May 1, 2017
This Merchant User Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you, the user, together with any company or other business entity you are representing, if any (collectively, “You”), and WebBrick&Mortar, LLC (“WebBrick&Mortar”) - providers of the WebBrick&Mortar website located at webbnm.com (“WebBrick&Mortar Site”), as well as related applications and services.
WebBrick&Mortar provides software programs that enable merchants to build online stores through which they can sell their products and services online (“Software”), including software applications (“Apps”). WebBrick&Mortar also provides merchants services, including hosting of the online store, email services, marketing services, and other related services as may be offered from time to time (collectively, “Services”).
This Agreement begins when You accept it (either in registration or if you take over an account of someone else, in accordance with the transfer terms provided in Section 13.6 below), and stays in effect until You or WebBrick&Mortar terminate Your account. This Agreement is subject to Terms of Service for the WebBrick&Mortar Site that are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and may be accessed through links in this Agreement and on www.webbnm.com. In the event any terms provided in this Agreement conflict with the Terms of Service, the terms provided in this Agreement will govern.
By accepting this Agreement and by using the Software and Services, You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and to all terms and conditions that are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. We may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and if you continue using the Software and Services after such changes you will also be bound by those amended terms and conditions.
You authorize WebBrick&Mortar to process any and all of Your WebBrick&Mortar account transactions initiated through the use of the password or passphrase that You establish through the WebBrick&Mortar Site and You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of such password and/or passphrase.
WebBrick&Mortar is not bound by this Agreement unless You meet the eligibility criteria for entering into this Agreement as set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.
The “Recap” sections are provided to summarize parts of the Agreement. These “recaps” are not part of the Agreement. Please read the language of the Agreement as that is what is binding.
1. Eligibility Criteria
WebBrick&Mortar’s Software and Services are available only to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the last sentence, the Software and Services are available to people between the age of 13 and 17 on the condition a parent or legal guardian consents and agrees to be bound for such person. Use this link to provide evidence of consent from a parent or legal guardian. If You are registering as a business entity, You represent that You have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement. WebBrick&Mortar may use techniques to confirm the accuracy of the information You provide to us. If for any reason, WebBrick&Mortar, in its discretion, believes such information to be incorrect, it reserves the right, without provision of any notice to You, to revoke any and all licenses under this Agreement, terminate Your account, and refuse to provide the Software and Services under this Agreement to You. You further represent that You have not had a prior account terminated by WebBrick&Mortar or been associated with a WebBrick&Mortar account that was previously terminated.
Recap
In order to use WebBrick&Mortar, you need to be able and authorized to enter into a legally binding agreement. Usually that means you need to be an adult, 18 years or older, but not this time! If you’re between 13 and 17 years of age, you can still use WebBrick&Mortar’s services! You just need evidence of your parent or guardian’s consent. There’s a parental consent form they can fill out here.
We may take steps to verify any information you provide to us, and we may revoke your account and ability to use WebBrick&Mortar if we believe you gave us inaccurate information.
And don’t try to register for a new account if we’ve previously terminated your account. If you break the rules and your account is terminated, then you can’t use our services.
2. WebBrick&Mortar Software and Trademark Ownership and Licenses
2.1 Software Ownership
You acknowledge and agree that, as between You and WebBrick&Mortar, all Software and any other content provided by WebBrick&Mortar, and all worldwide intellectual property rights therein, are the exclusive property of WebBrick&Mortar. All rights in and to the Software and Services not expressly granted to You in this Agreement are reserved by WebBrick&Mortar.
Recap
We own all intellectual property rights to all software, apps, services, and any other content we provide. If we provide it, it belongs to us.
2.2 Access and License
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, WebBrick&Mortar grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to (a) remotely access and use the Software on servers operated by or for WebBrick&Mortar (“WebBrick&Mortar Servers”) through the WebBrick&Mortar Site solely for the purpose of building, maintaining, and operating an interactive store hosted by the WebBrick&Mortar Servers on which You offer products or services (“Your Store”), and (b) download an App to a compatible mobile device solely to process transactions for Your Store. You may modify code that we make available to You for the purpose of customizing features in Your Store.
Recap
A limited license is one that lets you do only certain things. Anything other than what is specified is a no-no. So, we grant you a conditional and limited license to do two things: (1) access and use the platform to create and operate your store; and (2) download an app to process transactions for your store on a mobile device. We also let you customize some features.
2.3 Restrictions
You acknowledge that the Software and its structure, organization, and source code constitute valuable intellectual property of WebBrick&Mortar. Accordingly, except as expressly allowed under Section 2.2, You will not, either directly or through a third party, (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative works from the Software; (b) distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software, or (d) transfer Your interest in and to Your Store to any third party.
Recap
We own all our software - simple, right? You’re allowed to use our software in the ways described in Section 2.2. above, but those allowances aside, you can’t use, modify, distribute, or reverse engineer them. You also can’t transfer your store to any third party unless you let us know ahead of time and we agree in writing.
Some Apps are only available for certain mobile devices. WebBrick&Mortar may update and change which devices are available from time to time. An App may not be compatible with Your mobile device. No mobile device is compatible if it has been modified from the manufacturer’s software or hardware guidelines, including any disabling of controls, “jail breaking” the device or adding malware. Use of such a modified mobile device with an App or the Services is expressly prohibited and is grounds for termination of this Agreement, Your use of the Software, Services, and Your Store.
Recap
Our apps won’t be compatible with all devices, and you’re not allowed to use them with “jail broken” devices.
With all Apps, You are responsible for the following:
Determining compatibility with Your mobile device;
Understanding whether the terms of Your agreement with Your mobile device manufacturer and mobile service carrier apply to Your use of the App; and
Controlling access to and use of Your mobile device to prevent the bypassing, disabling, or overriding of any restrictions, security measures, or other limitations of an App or Your device and to prevent malware or other malicious code from being introduced to Your mobile device.
Recap
You’re responsible for determining whether or not our app will work with your device. It’s up to you to understand if any agreements affecting your mobile device may also affect your use of our app. Safeguarding your mobile device is your responsibility.
2.4 WebBrick&Mortar Trademark Ownership, License and Restrictions
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and upon Your election to use and pay applicable fees (if any) for the Software and Services, or parts of them, WebBrick&Mortar grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license (without the right to grant sublicenses) to display those trademarks that WebBrick&Mortar provides to You under this Agreement (“WebBrick&Mortar Marks”), solely for display on those locations on Your Store’s web pages or on promotional materials for Your Store or in connection with an App as designated by WebBrick&Mortar in its sole discretion, and that WebBrick&Mortar may periodically change from time to time. WebBrick&Mortar grants no rights in the WebBrick&Mortar Marks other than those expressly granted in this Section 2.4. You acknowledge WebBrick&Mortar’s exclusive ownership of the WebBrick&Mortar Marks and that all use of WebBrick&Mortar Marks inures to WebBrick&Mortar benefit. You agree not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership and You agree not to adopt, use, or attempt to register any trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to the WebBrick&Mortar Marks or in such a way as to create combination marks with the WebBrick&Mortar Marks. At WebBrick&Mortar’s request (in its discretion), You agree to immediately discontinue all use and display of the WebBrick&Mortar Marks. You acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to the trademark license granted in this Agreement, no licenses are granted by WebBrick&Mortar to any other trademarks, service marks, or trade names owned by WebBrick&Mortar, or its affiliates.
Recap
We grant you a conditional and limited license to display certain WebBrick&Mortar trademarks in your store and through the app. Want to let the world know you’re using WebBrick&Mortar? We couldn’t be happier. BUT, display our marks within our rules - don’t try to pass them off as your own, don’t combine them with other marks, and stop using them if we ask you to. And follow our brand guide. You don’t have any other rights to our trademarks. We own those trademarks and you agree not to challenge or interfere with our trademark rights.
You agree that the nature and quality of all goods and services that You provide in connection with the WebBrick&Mortar Marks and all related advertising, promotional and other uses of the WebBrick&Mortar Marks by You shall be of a high standard so as to protect and enhance the WebBrick&Mortar Marks and the goodwill pertaining to such marks. You further agree that all materials bearing the WebBrick&Mortar Marks shall conform to WebBrick&Mortar’s guidelines, which WebBrick&Mortar may change from time to time, and that You shall obtain WebBrick&Mortar’s approval prior to using the WebBrick&Mortar Marks in any manner that is inconsistent with WebBrick&Mortar’s guidelines.
Recap
Any use of our marks must be in keeping with our guidelines, and they may only be used in association with quality goods and services. If you want to use our marks in a way not covered or allowed by our guidelines, ask us!
2.5 Additional Features
WebBrick&Mortar may make certain features, software, services, and programs available to You for use with or in connection with the Software and Services (“Additional Services”). Additional Services may be provided by third parties and may be subject to additional or independent terms and conditions. WebBrick&Mortar is not responsible for any Additional Services provided by third parties. You agree that You will not use such Additional Services unless You have agreed to the applicable terms and conditions, including Your payment of additional fees as required.
Recap
We may make other apps, programs, and features available to you along the way. These may be owned by people and companies other than WebBrick&Mortar, and may be subject to different terms. If you choose to use them, you agree to comply with all terms required by the folks providing these programs and features, and to pay any required fees.
3. Services
3.1 Services
Upon activation of Your account and subject to the payment of applicable fees and your compliance with this Agreement, WebBrick&Mortar will provide You during the term of this Agreement with the hosting, support and other miscellaneous Services as provided on the pricing page of the WebBrick&Mortar Site and for the Software licensed to You under this Agreement. Your Store will be hosted on WebBrick&Mortar Servers on which several merchants may share the resources and network capacity.
Recap
As soon as you create an account, pay any required fees, and agree to this Merchant User Agreement, we’ll provide you with the level of hosting, support, and other services described on our pricing page - and we’ll continue to do so until you or we terminate your account. Also, your store will be hosted on servers shared with other merchants’ stores. No one gets a whole server all to them self - that’d just be a waste of resources!
3.2 Changes in Services
WebBrick&Mortar reserves the right to change, amend, and otherwise alter the Services without prior notice to You. You agree to receive administrative communications from WebBrick&Mortar with regard to the Software and Services, Your account, policy changes, system updates, and other notices. If You do not agree to such changes, then You may terminate use of the Services. WebBrick&Mortar will not refund any fees or payments in the event of such termination.
Recap
We may change the products and services we provide at any time and without notice. You agree that we can email and correspond with you regarding these changes, or for other reasons related to your use of our products and services. If you don’t agree with the changes we’ve made, you’re free to stop using our products and services, but we won’t issue a refund.
3.3 Service Downgrades
Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of Your account. WebBrick&Mortar does not accept any liability for such loss.
Recap
It’s up to you to be aware of what content, features, or capacity you may lose as a result of downgrading your service plan, and to back-up any materials you don’t want permanently lost.
4. Your Store & Content Control
4.1 Control of Your Store
You will be solely responsible for the development, promotion, back-up, operation, and maintenance of Your Store, including accepting, processing, and filling customer orders generated through Your Store, and handling any customer inquiries, complaints, or disputes arising from orders or sales generated through Your Store. You agree that WebBrick&Mortar has no obligation to back-up any data related to Your Store’s operations, that you will not have access to such data if your account is terminated and You should independently take appropriate steps to maintain such data in accordance with Your needs and requirements.
Recap
You’re the only person responsible for operating, maintaining, and backing up your store, as well as for backing up all the data related to it. If your account is terminated, all of your store’s data will be deleted permanently and cannot be recovered.
4.2 Ownership and Control of Your Store’s Content
You retain all right, title, and interest in and to all intellectual property rights in Your content, exclusive of any content provided by WebBrick&Mortar. You will be solely responsible for creating, managing, editing, reviewing, deleting, and otherwise controlling the content on Your Store, including all descriptions of the products and services You offer to customers of Your Store, trademarks You use, and user-generated content on and related to Your Store. As a conduit, WebBrick&Mortar will give You discretion over Your content on the condition it is compatible and interoperable with the Software and Services provided by WebBrick&Mortar under this Agreement and Your content and use of the Services, Software, and WebBrick&Mortar Site comply with all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement. Regardless of other language in this Section, if WebBrick&Mortar has reason to believe that You have breached any of the terms of this Agreement, WebBrick&Mortar may suspend or terminate Your Store and/or any access to information or data related to Your account and the Software and Services, and disable and delete any content on Your Store.
Recap
You own your content, but that doesn’t include anything we provide (as established in section 2.1 above).
Again, you’re the ONLY person responsible for your store and its content. We are giving you full control over what you include in your store, but it must comply with this agreement and all laws that apply to operating an online store, and it must work within our system.
We may suspend or terminate your store or remove any content from your store if we believe you’ve breached any terms of this agreement.
4.3 Passive Conduit
You acknowledge that, by only providing You with the ability to publish and distribute Your own or third party products, services, and content, WebBrick&Mortar and its Software and Services are acting only as passive conduits for the distribution and publishing of such products, services, and content on Your Store. WebBrick&Mortar has no obligation to You or any third party, and undertakes no responsibility, to review Your Store, the products or services listed on Your Store or any other content published and distributed on or through Your Store. Regardless of anything else in this Agreement, if WebBrick&Mortar believes in its discretion that Your Store or any products, services, content, or other materials in the Store or on WebBrick&Mortar Servers, or Your use of any Software, App, or Service, may create liability for WebBrick&Mortar or harm other users of WebBrick&Mortar’s websites or services, then You agree that WebBrick&Mortar may take any actions that WebBrick&Mortar believes are prudent or necessary to minimize or eliminate WebBrick&Mortar’s potential liability or to protect other users of WebBrick&Mortar’s websites or services, including terminating Your account or denying You Service.
Recap
We’re only providing you with a platform for your store. We have no responsibility to review your store, products, or content.
But, if we believe that you, your store, or your products may harm us or others in any way, we may do whatever we think is necessary to minimize or eliminate that risk.
4.4 Content License
During the period that WebBrick&Mortar provides Services to You pursuant to this Agreement, You hereby grant to WebBrick&Mortar and its subcontractors, and vendors a non-exclusive, irrevocable, sublicenseable, royalty-free, transferable, worldwide license to reproduce, use, distribute, create derivative works of, alter, modify, resize, crop, watermark, reformat, resave, compress, decompress, rewrite, cache, strip metadata, transmit, publicly perform, publicly display, and digitally perform Your content, data, and trademarks solely to host Your Store, run the Software and Apps, provide the Services and to otherwise promote and manage the WebBrick&Mortar Site. By making Your Store public, You agree that others can view Your content. You understand and agree that copies of Your Store, or parts of Your Store, may continue to be stored on WebBrick&Mortar Servers after You terminate Your account. WebBrick&Mortar agrees not to use Your content, data, and trademarks after Your account is terminated except as required to comply with legal requests or requirements, investigate claims, defend itself, and maintain records. You acknowledge and agree that WebBrick&Mortar, its subcontractors, and vendors may use Your content for beta testing purposes even if such beta tests do not have a positive impact on performance.
Recap
You grant us, our subcontractors, and our vendors a license to use your content and trademarks to host your store, provide the services, and to promote and manage our site. Just like you get to tell the world you’re using WebBrick&Mortar, we get to tell the world you’re using us too!
We’ll of course stop using your content and trademarks after your account is terminated, except when needed for legal purposes, like to investigate claims, defend ourselves, and maintain records.
We may keep a copy of your store, or parts of your store, on our servers even after your account is terminated, but we’re not obligated to do so, and this should not be relied on as an avenue for recovering information. Remember, you’re the ONLY person responsible for backing up your store, and you won’t have access to it after your account is terminated.
4.5 Order Fulfillment
WebBrick&Mortar may make certain order fulfillment services, such as payment verification and processing, available to You. Some of these services may be available through third party vendors, such as PayPal and Stripe, and Your relationship with such vendor will be pursuant to a separate agreement between You and the applicable vendor. You understand and agree that WebBrick&Mortar is not responsible for the availability or provision of such services or for such third party vendor’s non-performance or breaches of its agreement. WebBrick&Mortar does not guarantee the availability, security, or delivery of such services or that You will be eligible for any vendor’s services. It is Your responsibility to address all issues with regard to a vendor, including payments, refunds, chargebacks, collections, and service outages, with such third party vendor. It is also Your responsibility, and You agree to comply with all applicable agreements you have with such vendors, as well as all laws and industry guidelines regarding payment and orders that apply to merchants, including laws with regard to taxes, privacy, and PCI guidelines.
Recap
We currently offer order fulfillment services through PayPal and Stripe, though we may offer other vendors for these and other services in the future. You must agree to, and abide by, the terms and conditions of these vendors.
We can’t guarantee any part of these third party services and we’re not responsible if you have problems with the vendors. If an issue comes up on the vendor’s end, it’s up to you and the vendor to resolve it.
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and guidelines regarding payments and orders - which includes laws regarding taxes, privacy, and PCI guidelines.
4.6 Claims Against Your Store
We handle third party claims against Your Store in accordance with our Copyright and Trademark Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference, and which you agree to.
Recap
We’ve explained how we handle infringement and similar claims in our Copyright and Trademark Policy, so definitely go give that a read.
5. Covenants and Prohibitions

WebBrick&Mortar, its vendors, and service providers, do not warrant that the software, apps, services, and additional services will be error-free or uninterrupted and make no representations regarding uptime, use, data security, accuracy, and reliability of the Software, Services, and Additional Services. You acknowledge and agree that this Section 7 is reasonable and an essential element of this Agreement and that in its absence, the economic terms of this Agreement would be substantially different.
Recap
These software, apps, and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You use our software, apps, and services at your own risk and we don’t make any promises about them.
8. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall WebBrick&Mortar, its vendors, or service providers, or their officers, members, directors, employees, contractors, or agents be liable for lost profits or any special, indirect, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the Software, Services, any Additional Services, or this Agreement (however arising, including negligence). WebBrick&Mortar’s, its vendors’, and service providers’, cumulative liability, and the liability of their officers, members, directors, employees, contractors, and agents to you or any third parties in any circumstance is limited to the amount of fees you paid to WebBrick&Mortar in the one (1) year immediately preceding the month in which the action giving rise to the liability first arose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.
Recap
If you experience a loss because of the WebBrick&Mortar service, then WebBrick&Mortar, the people associated with us, and our vendors will only be responsible for direct damages up to the amount you paid in the year prior to when the problem arose. We, the people associated with us, and our vendors are not liable for any other types of damages.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold WebBrick&Mortar, its vendors, and service providers, and their officers, members, directors, agents, and employees, harmless from any and all losses, costs, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witnesses’ fees) incurred or arising from: (a) any content and other materials provided, stored, sold, or otherwise distributed by You or generated by users of Your Store, (b) any claims arising from the sale or license of goods or services in Your Store, and (c) any breach by You or those You control of this Agreement or the documents it incorporates by reference. WebBrick&Mortar’s, its vendors’, and service providers’ indemnity rights shall not be limited or offset by any contributory negligence by WebBrick&Mortar. WebBrick&Mortar reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, and in such case, You agree to cooperate with WebBrick&Mortar’s defense of such claim.
Recap
You agree that WebBrick&Mortar and the people associated with us and our vendors aren’t liable for your actions or activities. You’re responsible for your own actions and activities and agree to pay for any resulting damages or expenses, including reimbursing us for any amounts we have to pay because of you.
