Terms of Service

The short version: Rumblebid is an online auction marketplace for goods sold by independent sellers. We connect sellers and buyers; we don't own or ship the items ourselves. Bids you place are binding contracts to pay. Disputes are settled through binding arbitration. The longer version is below — please read it.

1. What Rumblebid is, and what these Terms cover

Trevul LLC ("Rumblebid", "we", "us") operates rumblebid.com, an online marketplace where independent sellers list items for sale by auction or at a fixed price. By creating an account, listing an item, placing a bid, completing a purchase, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms of Service (the "Terms").

These Terms form a binding contract between you and Rumblebid. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. If you're using the Service on behalf of a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" then refers to the entity.

2. Eligibility

To use Rumblebid you must be at least 18 years old and located in the United States. Buyers may have a shipping address in any of the 50 states; sellers may exclude Alaska and Hawaii from individual listings for shipping-cost reasons. Sellers must be located in the continental United States. You must have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and minors under 18 may not list, bid, or purchase. We currently do not support international users; that may change in the future, in which case these Terms will be updated.

Sanctions and export compliance. By using Rumblebid, you represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in, organized in, or a resident or national of any country or region that is subject to comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions or trade embargoes (including, as of this writing, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), (b) you are not on the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List, or any other applicable U.S. or international sanctions list, and (c) you will not use Rumblebid to send or receive funds to or from any sanctioned party or jurisdiction. We may suspend or terminate accounts that fail to meet these requirements without notice and report violations to the relevant authorities as required by law.

3. Your account

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including bids placed and listings created. Keep your password secure, don't share it, and don't share your account with anyone else. We support two-factor verification at login — either an authenticator app (TOTP) or a one-time code emailed to you. If you've enrolled an authenticator, that's the primary challenge; the email path remains as a fallback. Don't disable two-factor or work around it. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it current. If you misrepresent your identity, location, or eligibility, we may suspend or terminate your account and void any pending transactions.

Login security. To deter brute-force credential attacks, repeated failed login attempts from the same source temporarily lock the account out for approximately 30 minutes (currently five wrong attempts triggers the lockout; the threshold may be tuned). If you legitimately can't access your account, use the password-reset link or contact support — don't keep retrying.

Electronic records and signatures (E-SIGN consent). By creating an account, accepting these Terms (whether at signup or via the re-acceptance prompt described in Section 21), or otherwise using the Service, you affirmatively consent under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and any applicable state equivalents to the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in your relationship with Rumblebid. This consent applies to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, notices we send to you (including notices of changes to these Terms, transaction receipts, auction-close notifications, payout statements, and dispute communications), and any other documents we are required by law to provide to you in writing. You may withdraw this consent at any time by emailing legal@trevul.com; doing so will require you to close your account, because the Service cannot be operated without electronic records. To receive a paper copy of any record we have provided you electronically, send a written request to that address; we may charge a reasonable fee for paper copies. To use the Service you need an internet-connected device, a modern web browser, an email account that can receive HTML email, and the ability to read PDF files; if your hardware or software changes such that you can no longer access electronic records from us, notify us promptly.

New-account starter limits ("SafeStart"). For approximately the first 15 days after signup, or until the account completes 2 successful purchases, your bidding and Buy-It-Now spending is capped at $200 per listing and $500 in aggregate open exposure across active bids and unsettled orders. The cap automatically lifts when either threshold is met, whichever comes first. The current cap state is visible to you on your Dashboard. We may extend, shorten, or override these limits at our discretion (for example, for trusted accounts recovered through support).

Account levels. Your account is automatically assigned a level (Rookie, Bidder, Contender, Closer, Heavyweight, Champion) based on the time you've been on Rumblebid, the number of completed transactions on your account, and your average seller rating. Levels are informational: they reflect activity history, not Rumblebid's endorsement of any particular seller's goods or business practices. A high-tier seller can still ship a damaged item; a first-level seller can still ship a perfect one.

Spotlight points. Account levels also unlock Spotlight points toward future Spotlight boosts (see Section 5 for the Spotlight program): Contender earns 10 points, Closer 40, Heavyweight 80, and Champion 120. Spotlight points are a promotional reward, not money — they have no cash value, are not transferable to other accounts, and are redeemable only against Spotlight boost costs (each point applies $1 toward a boost). Points drop the first time you reach each tier (one-shot per level per account) and don't expire. They are applied automatically against your boost cost when you publish a promoted listing — if your point balance fully covers the boost, no card charge fires. Rumblebid may adjust the point amounts on a forward-looking basis with notice; points already earned remain valid at the amount that was current when they were granted.

4. Rumblebid's role: a venue, not a party

Rumblebid is a venue. We provide the platform that connects sellers and buyers, but we don't own the items listed, never take physical possession of them, never hold title to them, don't inspect them, and don't ship them — sellers ship directly to buyers. Each transaction is a direct contract between the seller and the buyer. Unless the buyer and seller agree otherwise, title to an item passes from the seller to the buyer in accordance with UCC § 2-401(2) upon the seller's physical delivery of the item to the carrier or the buyer. Rumblebid is not an auctioneer: our auctions are automated, timed listings; we do not call bids, and no Rumblebid employee conducts any sale.

How the money moves. Buyer payments are processed by Stripe (card and supported digital wallets) or PayPal (PayPal and Venmo). For card payments, Rumblebid acts as the seller's limited payments agent: the payment is collected through Rumblebid's Stripe account and then transferred to the seller's Stripe Connect account, and your payment to Rumblebid through Stripe fully satisfies your payment obligation to the seller for that purchase. PayPal and Venmo payments are delivered by PayPal directly into the seller's PayPal account. Rumblebid is not a bank or an escrow service and does not hold buyer funds beyond the ordinary settlement and transfer process described here (and any holds described in Section 7). The amounts Rumblebid keeps for itself are the seller fees described in Section 7 (the platform fee on completed sales, the reserve fee, and optional Spotlight boosts) and, where state marketplace-facilitator laws require, sales tax that is collected with the buyer's payment and remitted by us to the taxing authority.

Our platform fee on completed transactions is currently 9% of the final sale price, with a $1.00 minimum applied when 9% would be less; the payment processor (Stripe or PayPal, depending on the method used) takes its standard processing fee separately. Fees are subject to change with notice as described in Section 7; a fee change does not alter fees already charged or sales already completed. Rumblebid may offer adjusted fee terms to specific sellers through defined programs (for example, verified business partners or high-volume sellers) — such terms are granted per account, may be time-bounded, and may be rescinded with notice.

No agency, employment, or partnership. Sellers and buyers using Rumblebid are independent parties transacting with each other. Nothing in these Terms or in your use of the Service creates any agency, employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or fiduciary relationship between you and Rumblebid, or between any two users. Sellers are not employees or contractors of Rumblebid; they set their own listings, prices, descriptions, and fulfillment practices, and Rumblebid does not control the day-to-day conduct of their activity. You may not represent yourself as a representative, agent, employee, or partner of Rumblebid in any communication with third parties, and Rumblebid has no authority to bind you to obligations beyond those expressly stated in these Terms.

5. Listing items (sellers)

Scope of the marketplace. Rumblebid is a general-merchandise venue: sellers may list any lawful item that is not in the prohibited categories below. Listings we believe are unsafe, misleading, or harmful to the marketplace may be removed at Rumblebid's discretion following review; removal does not entitle the seller to compensation.

To list, you must be located in the continental US. To receive payouts on a given method you must complete the corresponding onboarding flow — Stripe Connect verification for card payments, or a confirmed PayPal email for PayPal payments (you confirm the address you enter; make sure it is exactly right, because buyer payments route to it). You may onboard either or both; buyers see what you accept on every listing. Any terms, conditions, or rules a seller states inside a listing that conflict with these Terms are void. By listing an item you represent and warrant that:

  • you own the item or have the legal right to sell it,
  • the item is described accurately, including its condition, age, size, and any defects,
  • the photos depict the actual item being sold (not a stock image, not a similar item from a different transaction),
  • your listing complies with all applicable federal, state, tribal, and local laws, including product-safety law (you may not list recalled products, and you must remove a listing promptly if the item is recalled),
  • you have the right to ship the item to every state your listing offers to ship to.

The following items are prohibited on Rumblebid, in addition to whatever's illegal under applicable law:

  • Firearms, ammunition, explosives, and weapon components or accessories of any kind,
  • Controlled substances, prescription medications, and drug paraphernalia, including any item the sale, possession, or transfer of which is restricted or unlawful under federal law or the law of either party's jurisdiction,
  • Endangered species protected by federal or state law,
  • Cannabis or cannabis derivatives, including hemp, regardless of state legality,
  • Live animals, insects, and reptiles,
  • Counterfeit goods and unauthorized replicas of any kind,
  • Recalled products,
  • Stolen goods or any item the seller does not have the legal right to sell.

We may remove listings at our discretion if we believe they violate these Terms or applicable law, fall outside the scope of the marketplace described above, are unsafe, are misleading, or harm Rumblebid's reputation. Removal does not entitle the seller to compensation.

Reserve auctions. Sellers may set a confidential reserve price on auction listings. The reserve is the lowest amount the seller will accept; bidders cannot see the amount, only whether it has been met. If the auction closes below the reserve, no sale is made and the listing ends as Unsold. A non-refundable reserve fee is charged to the seller's card on file at the time the listing is published — currently 3% of the reserve, with a $0.50 minimum and $80 maximum. The fee is charged whether or not the item ultimately sells, except as provided by the 15-minute publish grace below. Reserve prices may not be raised, lowered, or removed mid-auction.

Spotlight promotion

Sellers may optionally promote a listing to the Spotlight — a paid-placement strip on the front page and on zone-filtered browse views. Promotion is opt-in and entirely optional; non-promoted listings remain fully visible in regular search and browse results.

  • How it works: at publish time, the seller may set a one-time boost amount. Boosted listings appear above the regular grid, ordered by boost amount (highest first; older promoted listings win ties). Boosted listings also appear in normal search and browse results, with a "Spotlight" chip to indicate they are promoted.
  • Minimum boost: $1.00. Below the minimum, the listing is not promoted.
  • Maximum boost: $500.00. Larger amounts are accepted but treated as $500 for placement purposes — no listing pays more than $500 for a single promotion.
  • Visible slot count is adaptive. Rumblebid renders only a limited number of promoted slots above the regular grid (currently 12, scaling with marketplace size up to 24). Boosted listings outside the visible cap still carry the Spotlight chip in regular results but do not appear on the dedicated strip.
  • Live ranking. Placement updates as new sellers boost; your listing's position may shift up or down over the auction's duration as a result.
  • Non-refundable. The boost is charged at publish to the seller's card on file and is not refunded if the listing is cancelled, ends without a sale, is removed by Rumblebid, or fails to charge a winning buyer — except as provided by the 15-minute publish grace below. The boost is independent of the platform sales fee.
  • Re-listing. When a listing set to Automatic Relist (or a SuperSeller "Good Till Canceled" listing) relists automatically after ending unsold, its Spotlight status and reserve fee carry forward to the new cycle — they are charged once and not re-charged on automatic relists. A manual re-list is a new listing: Spotlight status does not carry forward and a fresh boost (and reserve fee, if applicable) is charged.
  • Where Spotlight does NOT appear: search results pages and the "Ending soon" tab. Both surfaces are ordered by their own contracts (search relevance and close-time) and are not biased by Spotlight boosts.

15-minute publish grace

Within 15 minutes of publishing a listing, sellers may cancel the listing and receive a full refund of the reserve fee and Spotlight boost (whichever were charged at publish). This is a one-time "I noticed a typo" escape hatch — once the window passes, or once any bid or Buy-It-Now purchase has landed on the listing, the grace refund is no longer available and the standard non-refundable terms in the reserve and Spotlight sections above apply.

The grace cancel is initiated from the listing detail page (a "Cancel & refund fees" button is shown to the seller during the window). Refunds are issued through Stripe to the same card the publish fees were charged to, and typically settle on the seller's statement in 5–10 business days. Rumblebid retains no portion of the refund. Cancelling outside the grace window — through "Manage listings" or any other path — does not trigger a refund.

Seller identity and the INFORM Consumers Act

Federal law (the INFORM Consumers Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45f) requires online marketplaces to collect, and for high-volume sellers verify and disclose, certain seller identity information. When you set up to sell, you provide your name, ship-from street address, city, and (optionally) a phone number. This information must be accurate and current, and you agree to keep it up to date — an inaccurate ship-from address affects shipping quotes, buyer expectations, and our legal obligations under the Act.

If your sales cross the Act's verification threshold (currently 200 transactions and $5,000 in gross revenue within a 12-month period), we'll require you to complete identity verification — currently, Stripe's identity-verification (KYC) process — within 10 days. At or above these volume thresholds we may also ask you to certify your ship-from address, including whether it is a residential address rather than a place of business; any such certification must be truthful. If your sales cross the Act's disclosure threshold (currently $20,000 in annual gross revenue), seller identity information is shown on your listing pages — your full name and address, or, under a truthful residential certification, only your name, state, and country plus a notice that no business address is available and how to reach you. You agree to respond to buyer inquiries in good faith and to cooperate with any request we make to verify, certify, or update the identity information you've provided.

We may suspend your ability to sell — ending your live listings, with notice to affected bidders, without affecting money already owed to or by you (see Section 14) — if you don't complete required identity verification by the applicable deadline, if we determine a residential certification was false, or if you're unresponsive to buyer inquiries in a way that defeats the purpose of this section. This suspension authority is independent of, and in addition to, the general termination provisions in Section 14.

6. Bidding and buying (buyers)

Auctions on Rumblebid work like classic English auctions: the highest bid above the seller's starting price wins when the auction ends. All auctions on Rumblebid are with reserve in the UCC § 2-328 sense unless the listing expressly states otherwise. A sale is complete ("the hammer falls") when the auction's close time passes — as extended by the anti-sniping mechanism described below, which is part of the announced manner of sale — with a standing high bid that meets any reserve. All bids are binding. When you place a bid, you're making a contract: if your bid wins, you owe the seller that amount (plus any applicable shipping and tax). Don't bid an amount you can't pay.

When a binding contract forms. You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you have the winning bid at an auction's close, regardless of when payment is due or made — except where the purchase flow requires payment before the contract forms (Buy It Now cart checkout, below), in which case the contract forms when your payment is completed.

Auctions — payment by invoice. No payment method is required to place a bid. When you win an auction, Rumblebid issues you an invoice for the amount you owe (the winning bid, plus any applicable shipping and tax). You pay the invoice on its own page using one of the payment methods that seller accepts — card, PayPal, or Venmo — and the payment reaches the seller as described in Sections 4 and 7. Winning creates a binding obligation to pay whether or not you pay the invoice promptly; see "If you win" below for what happens if you don't.

Buy It Now — cart checkout. Fixed-price ("Buy It Now") purchases work through a cart. You add one or more Buy It Now listings (from one or more sellers) to your cart and start checkout; starting checkout places a short, time-boxed hold on the items so they can't be sold out from under you while you pay. You pay once for the whole cart, and your order with each seller is created when your payment completes. If you abandon checkout or the hold expires before payment, the items are released back to the listing and you owe nothing. Listings may offer multiple units; the quantity you select is claimed at checkout.

A few specifics about how bidding works on Rumblebid:

  • Bid increments: each bid must clear the current high bid by at least the per-tier minimum increment (e.g., $0.50 from $5–$25, $1 from $25–$100). The minimum next bid is shown on every listing.
  • Anti-sniping: bids placed within the final hour of an auction extend the close time — keeps the auction from being decided by who has the fastest network in the last second.
  • Max Auto-Bid: instead of placing a single bid, you can set a Max Auto-Bid — the most you're willing to pay. We will bid on your behalf in minimum increments only as needed to keep you on top, up to (but never above) your cap. Your cap stays private; other bidders only see the resolved visible bid. Your Max Auto-Bid is binding to the same extent as a regular bid: if you win, you owe the resolved price (not your cap), but you committed up to your cap when you set it. You may raise your cap; you may not lower it on its own. Retracting your bid on a listing — where retraction is permitted (see Bid retraction below) — cancels your Max Auto-Bid on that listing along with it.
  • Reserve auctions: sellers may set a hidden reserve price. The amount is private; bidders see only whether the reserve has been met. If the auction closes below the reserve, no sale is made and no invoice is issued. Sellers pay a non-refundable reserve fee at listing time, regardless of outcome.
  • Buy It Now listings (fixed price): a seller may list an item at a fixed Buy It Now price with no auction, in a quantity of one or more units. Buy It Now purchases go through the cart checkout described above; your purchase is binding when your payment completes.
  • Buy It Now on auctions: a seller may offer a fixed Buy It Now price alongside an auction. On an auction without a reserve, Buy It Now is available only until the first bid is placed; after that it disappears and the listing runs as a normal auction. On an auction with a reserve, Buy It Now remains available until the reserve is met. A Buy It Now purchase completed (paid) while the reserve is still unmet cancels any standing bids below the reserve — those bidders are notified, their bids and any Max Auto-Bid are removed, and they owe nothing. Once a bid meets the reserve, Buy It Now disappears and the auction proceeds to its scheduled close.
  • Bid retraction: you may retract a bid (and any associated Max Auto-Bid on the same listing) until the final twelve (12) hours before the scheduled auction close. This retraction rule replaces any default rule of bid revocability; inside the final twelve hours your bid is irrevocable, because late-window retractions distort the close for other bidders. The retract action is available on the listing detail page; you must select a reason (wrong amount entered, item description changed, can't reach seller, or other with an explanation). Retraction is not permitted after intentionally bidding to reveal a seller's reserve price or another bidder's Max Auto-Bid cap. Rumblebid logs every retraction; patterns of abuse (e.g., retracting after losing a snipe, repeated wrong-amount retractions on different listings, reserve- or proxy-probing) may result in suspension or termination under Section 14. Once retracted, your bid is removed from the listing and your Max Auto-Bid is cancelled; the visible high bid falls to the next-highest standing commitment.
  • No shill bidding: shill bidding is bidding with the intent to artificially inflate an item's price or desirability rather than to buy it — whether by the seller directly, through an alternate account, or by anyone connected to the seller (family, friends, roommates, employees, or online connections), and including bids or purchases made to pump an account's review count or search standing. It is prohibited, may be a crime, and will result in account termination and forfeiture of any platform fees credited. Where an undisclosed bid was placed by or on behalf of the seller, the affected buyer additionally has the remedies provided by UCC § 2-328(4) — avoiding the sale or taking the item at the price of the last good-faith bid. The Max Auto-Bid system described above is automated proxy bidding on behalf of genuine buyers up to their own caps; it is not platform bidding.
  • No collusion: bidders may not coordinate to suppress prices.

If you win. Payment is due promptly after the close via the invoice we issue you. Your invoice does not expire on its own, but an unpaid invoice keeps the seller waiting: at any time before you pay, the seller may cancel the sale and re-list the item (and you may likewise cancel an unpaid invoice if you cannot complete the purchase). Winning and then failing to pay is a breach of your binding bid; repeated non-payment may result in suspension or termination under Section 14.

Service availability and auction integrity. Rumblebid takes reasonable measures to keep the platform available, but does not warrant uninterrupted service. The auction-close timer runs on Rumblebid's clock. If Rumblebid's platform experiences a material outage that demonstrably affected bidder access during the final hour of an auction — for example, the site was unreachable for more than fifteen consecutive minutes within that hour — we may, in our sole discretion:

  • extend the auction's close time by a reasonable interval to compensate,
  • re-open bidding for a defined window after service is restored, or
  • void the auction's result and re-list the item.

Sellers, bidders, and the high bidder (whether their bid stands, is displaced, or is voided as a result) waive any claim arising from such extensions, re-openings, or voidings, including claims for the difference between the affected close price and a hypothetical undisrupted close price. Routine maintenance, brief intermittent errors, and outages that did not occur in the final hour do not trigger extension or void rights — the ordinary anti-snipe extension already absorbs those.

If you believe an outage during the final hour cost you a bid, you may request a void or extension by emailing support@trevul.com within 24 hours of the affected close. Include the listing identifier, the times you attempted to access the site, and any evidence (screenshots, status-page references). Our determination on a request is final for purposes of platform mediation, but does not preclude arbitration under Section 19. Liability for losses arising from platform downtime, in any case, is governed by the limitations in Section 17 and the force majeure provision in Section 22.

7. Payments, fees, and payouts

Payments are processed by Stripe (card) or PayPal (PayPal and Venmo) — whichever method the buyer selects when paying their invoice. The chosen processor is responsible for the actual transfer of funds, and that processor's terms apply to the payment portion of the transaction. Consistent with Section 4, the purchase price flows directly from the buyer to the seller through the processor; Rumblebid receives only its seller fees and any marketplace-facilitator sales tax it is required to collect and remit. By using Rumblebid you also agree, to the extent applicable to your activity, to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and PayPal's user agreement.

Rumblebid's platform fee is 9% of the final sale price, with a $1.00 minimum applied when 9% would be less than $1.00. The fee is deducted at the time the payment is captured and is the same on both methods. The payment processor's fee (Stripe's currently 2.9% + 30¢, PayPal's as published by PayPal) is charged separately by that processor against the seller's account. Fees may change; we'll announce any fee increase at least 30 days before it takes effect, and a change never applies retroactively to fees already charged or sales already completed. Sales tax, where applicable, is collected with the buyer's payment and remitted in accordance with each state's marketplace facilitator rules.

Sellers are paid through whichever method the buyer used: card payments deposit via Stripe Connect to a verified US bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule (typically 2–7 business days after the buyer's payment clears); PayPal and Venmo payments land in the seller's linked PayPal account per PayPal's posting schedule (Venmo is a way for buyers to pay — the funds are delivered to the seller's PayPal account, not to a Venmo account). We may hold funds longer if a transaction is under dispute, the seller's account is under review, or we have reasonable suspicion of fraud.

How buyers pay. Rumblebid supports three payment methods — card, PayPal, and Venmo. Card payments may also be completed through supported digital wallets (such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and Amazon Pay) where your device and browser offer them; wallet payments are card payments for purposes of these Terms. Sellers choose which methods they accept (card requires direct-deposit setup; PayPal and Venmo require a confirmed PayPal email), each listing displays the seller's accepted methods, and the buyer picks any one of them when paying. Buyers do not store a payment method with Rumblebid and no method is needed to bid. The Rumblebid fee (9% with the same $1.00 minimum) applies identically to all methods; payment-processor fees (Stripe's or PayPal's, as published by those providers) are separate and borne by the seller. Spotlight points earned through plant-tier level-ups (see Section 3) are applied against Spotlight boost costs at publish time but do not apply against the platform sales fee.

Stripe card on file (required for sellers). To create a listing on Rumblebid, sellers must store a credit or debit card with Rumblebid through Stripe. By saving a card with Rumblebid, you authorize off-session charges (charges processed without your direct involvement at the moment of charge) against that card for the platform fees described in this Section 7 — specifically: the publish-time reserve fee, the optional Spotlight boost, and, for sales settled through the PayPal or Venmo payment methods, the Final Value Fee owed to Rumblebid after the buyer's payment is received. Each of these fees is charged in the amount, and on the occasion, described in this Section 7 — there are no recurring or subscription charges. This card is used only for the seller fees described here — it is never charged for anyone's purchases — and we will not charge it for any other purpose without separately obtaining your consent. If a charge to your card fails, we notify you by email and in-app. Every fee charge and any refund of a fee appears in your seller transaction history, and fee refunds are issued to the same card the fee was charged to.

When the platform fee is collected. For card sales, the platform fee is deducted from the buyer's payment at capture, before proceeds transfer to your Stripe Connect balance — the deducted amount appears on your transactions page; no separate charge to your stored card occurs. For PayPal and Venmo sales, because the buyer's payment lands directly in your PayPal account, the platform fee cannot be deducted at capture; Rumblebid charges the fee to your stored Stripe card within minutes of the capture clearing. If the charge declines we will notify you; persistent failure or repeated non-collection may result in suspension of your ability to create new listings until the underlying issue is resolved. Active listings and in-progress auctions remain available to buyers during such a suspension; the restriction is on creating new listings only.

Rumblebid may from time to time offer promotional codes that reduce or waive a seller's platform fee for a specific listing; such codes are non-transferable, may be capped in total or per-seller uses, may expire, and apply only when entered before the listing is published.

No fee avoidance. The platform fee is owed on any sale that results from Rumblebid activity — including a sale arranged through Rumblebid messaging or a listing's public discussion but completed off-platform, paid outside the Service, or picked up in person. Arranging transactions off-platform to avoid fees is a violation of these Terms (see also Section 12) and Rumblebid may charge the applicable platform fee to the seller's card on file and suspend or terminate the accounts involved.

Chargebacks, holds, and amounts you owe. If a buyer's payment is charged back, disputed, reversed, or refunded in circumstances where the seller is responsible under these Terms, or if you otherwise owe Rumblebid amounts (including amounts refunded to you in error), Rumblebid may recover those amounts by, in any order: deducting them from pending or future transfers to you, charging your card on file, invoicing you (payable within 30 days), or referring the debt to collection. Rumblebid and its payment processors may also delay, hold, or restrict transfers of funds to a seller where reasonably necessary — for example while a transaction is under dispute, an account is under review (including SafeStart-style new-account review), fraud is suspected, or a hold is required by the processor, a card network, or law. We will use reasonable efforts to tell you the reason and expected duration of any hold, except where prohibited.

Rumblebid does not provide a buyer- or seller-protection program for any sale on the platform. Buyers may dispute a charge directly with their card issuer (for Stripe-method sales) or through PayPal's Resolution Center (for PayPal-method sales); sellers may pursue normal civil remedies for chargebacks they believe were wrongful. Rumblebid provides reasonable assistance to whichever side has the documented case, but the underlying dispute mechanics are between the user and their payment provider.

8. Shipping

Shipping is the seller's responsibility. The seller must ship the item within 5 business days of the buyer's payment, unless the listing states a different timeframe. Sellers carry the risk of loss or damage in transit unless the buyer explicitly waives it.

How shipping cost is set. Each listing sets its shipping cost in one of two ways, at the seller's choice: a flat rate every buyer pays regardless of destination, or a calculated rate quoted from the seller's origin to the buyer's ZIP code through a third-party carrier-rate provider. For calculated shipping, the amount shown before you bid or buy is an estimate based on your saved shipping address; the actual shipping charge is fixed when the sale is created and added to the amount charged to your payment method on top of the winning bid or Buy It Now price (plus any applicable tax). Shipping charges pass through to the seller. If a calculated quote cannot be produced for your destination, the listing's fallback flat rate applies; if the seller set no fallback, the bid or purchase is blocked rather than charged at an unknown rate.

We don't broker shipping insurance and don't validate carrier coverage. If insurance is important to you (buyer or seller), arrange it directly with the carrier.

9. Living items

Rumblebid is a general-merchandise marketplace and provides no plant- or horticulture-specific features (no hardiness-zone tools, no live-arrival program). Live animals, insects, and reptiles are prohibited (Section 5). If you list or buy living plant material, the general terms in §§5–8 and §10 apply, and the seller is solely responsible for compliance with all federal and state agricultural, quarantine, and noxious-weed law governing the shipment; no live-arrival guarantee exists unless the seller's listing expressly offers one.

10. Returns, refunds, and disputes

How you pay, and your remedies as a buyer. Rumblebid is a venue that connects buyers and sellers. We are not the seller of, and never take possession of, any item, and we do not guarantee that an item will be delivered or that it will meet your expectations. Because of this, the payment method you choose matters:

  • PayPal. Where available, we encourage buyers to pay with PayPal. PayPal offers its own Purchase Protection program on eligible orders, which many payment cards do not. Any such protection is provided by PayPal under PayPal's terms — not by Rumblebid or Trevul LLC.
  • Credit card. If you pay by card, we suggest a credit card that offers purchase protection, and that you review what protection your issuer provides before ordering. You may dispute an eligible charge directly with your card issuer.
  • Debit card. We do not recommend paying by debit card, which often carries little or no purchase protection.

Rumblebid does not operate a buyer-protection or reimbursement program of its own and does not guarantee refunds. When a refund is warranted, it is issued by the seller or through the applicable payment provider's dispute process described below in this section — it is not funded by Rumblebid. Please research the protection offered by your chosen payment method before placing an order.

All sales are generally final. We do not require sellers to accept returns, except where the item materially differs from the listing (wrong species, condition substantially worse than described, missing components) or where the item arrived dead in transit and the seller's listing offered a live-arrival guarantee.

Inspection on receipt. Buyers must inspect items promptly on delivery and raise any issue with the seller (and, if not resolved between you, with Rumblebid) within seven (7) calendar days of delivery. Failure to raise a claim within these windows waives any right to refund or return based on the condition of the item at receipt; latent defects discovered later are addressed on a case-by-case basis through the dispute process below. The inspection windows do not limit your rights to dispute a charge through your card issuer or to pursue legal claims through arbitration; they govern only Rumblebid's internal refund and dispute mediation.

Disputes should be resolved between buyer and seller first. If you can't reach an agreement, email support@trevul.com within 14 days of the transaction. We'll review the facts in good faith and may issue a partial or full refund at our discretion, debiting the seller's payout. Our determination on platform-mediated disputes is final, but does not prevent either party from pursuing legal claims through the arbitration process below.

For chargebacks initiated through your card issuer, Stripe handles dispute mechanics and may freeze the seller's funds until resolved. For disputes initiated through PayPal's Resolution Center on PayPal-method sales, PayPal handles dispute mechanics and may hold the seller's funds until resolved. In either case Rumblebid provides reasonable assistance to the party with the documented case (shipping evidence, listing description, prior communication), but the underlying dispute process is between the user and the relevant payment provider.

11. Reviews and reports

Reviews. Once the buyer's payment captures (Sale state Paid or later — the seller does not need to have been paid out, and the package does not need to have been delivered, though most buyers wait), the buyer may submit a one-time star rating (1–5) and an optional written review of the seller. Reviews are tied to that specific Sale; you can revise yours within three weeks of submission. Reviews must be truthful, must reflect your experience with the transaction (not gossip about the seller, unrelated grievances, or off-platform context), and must not contain personal contact information, profanity, threats, or off-topic content. Rumblebid filters obvious profanity automatically and may hide a review at staff's discretion if it violates these rules. Hidden reviews stay readable to the author with a "moderated" banner; the public-facing rating excludes them.

Display name changes after reviews exist. Once you have received your first review as a seller, your display name is rate-limited to discourage rebranding around negative feedback. You may still change your display name, but every change after that first review:

  • hides every existing review on sales where you were the seller from your public profile and from your public star rating (the original buyer can still see their review on their order page; staff retain full visibility for moderation), and
  • locks further display-name changes for 30 days from the change.

Username, email, account history, prior sales, payouts, and ratings ledger are unaffected. The settings page surfaces this in advance with a confirmation step before any change takes effect, and shows a countdown while a 30-day lock is active. Changing your display name is not a way to escape your account history; reviews and sales remain attributable to your account regardless of the display name shown at any point in time. Display names may contain letters, numbers, spaces, and limited punctuation (periods, apostrophes, ampersands, hyphens, and underscores). Names consisting only of letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores may be referenced by other users via @mentions in public discussions; names containing spaces or other punctuation cannot be @mentioned.

Listing reports. If you encounter a listing you believe violates these Terms (misrepresentation, prohibited species, off-platform contact info, etc.), you may flag it via the report mechanism on the listing detail page. Reports are reviewed by Rumblebid staff — not auto-actioned — and we do not publicly disclose who reported a listing. Frivolous or abusive use of the report system may itself be a Terms violation.

Public listing discussions

Listings may include a public discussion area. Posts there are visible to anyone, including logged-out visitors and search engines. You may not use discussions to harass, threaten, or impersonate others (including presenting yourself as the seller when you are not), and you may not post another person's private information. Rumblebid may remove posts, restrict or revoke posting privileges, and close discussions at its discretion; removed posts may be retained internally for moderation, audit, and legal purposes. Discussions close when a listing ends. If you see a post that violates these terms, use the Report control on the post.

Notifications and emails. Rumblebid sends two categories of communications:

  • Transactional and security messages (auction-won, payment-failed, account-deactivated, password-reset, verification codes, payout notifications, refund notices) — these are operationally required and will be sent to you regardless of any other preference settings, because they're necessary to operate your account responsibly.
  • Discretionary notifications — in-app sunflower-bell notifications (new listings from sellers you subscribe to, outbid alerts, review-received, etc.) plus the email digest of new listings from subscribed sellers, watchlist-ending-soon emails, and saved-search digests. These follow your preferences as set on the Dashboard notifications page; you can opt out of any of them at any time. The in-app notification feed is per-account; we don't share it.

12. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for any illegal purpose or to facilitate illegal activity,
  • list items you don't own, can't legally sell, or that violate applicable law,
  • bid without intent or ability to pay,
  • shill bid, collude with other bidders, or otherwise manipulate auctions,
  • scrape, crawl, or programmatically access the Service except through interfaces we provide or document for your use,
  • place bids or purchases by automated means — including "buy-for-me" agents, LLM-driven bots, or any end-to-end flow that bids or orders without human review of each commitment (the Max Auto-Bid feature we provide is the sanctioned form of automated bidding),
  • circumvent rate limits, account locks, or security mechanisms,
  • impersonate another user or misrepresent your relationship to a person or entity,
  • upload content that infringes anyone's IP, contains malware, is defamatory, or harasses other users,
  • use the Service to harvest other users' data outside what's needed to complete a transaction,
  • create multiple accounts to bypass restrictions on a suspended account,
  • do anything that would damage the Service's availability or other users' experience.

No fee circumvention. You may not share contact information or arrange payment outside Rumblebid in any content posted on Rumblebid, including listings, private messages, and public listing discussions. Sharing contact information or arranging payment outside the platform in a public discussion is a violation on the same terms, and automated filters may reject or flag such content. Fees owed on off-platform completions are addressed in Section 7 (No fee avoidance).

Automated content review. Automated systems (including machine-learning classifiers) may scan and analyze content you submit to the Service — listings, private messages, public discussion posts, and reviews — to enforce these Terms, filter prohibited content, and protect users. As a result, a message or post may be delayed, flagged for staff review, rejected, or withheld. Content review is for policy enforcement; the privacy of your communications is otherwise governed by the Privacy Policy.

Harassment and abusive conduct. You may not engage in conduct that harasses, intimidates, threatens, or stalks any other Rumblebid user, our staff, or any third party in connection with the Service. Prohibited conduct includes (without limitation): threats of violence; slurs or other abusive language targeted at a person's race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin; doxing or publishing another person's private information; repeated unwanted contact after the recipient has indicated they do not wish to communicate (including reaching out from alternate accounts to circumvent a block, or after a deal-related conversation has clearly concluded); and any conduct intended to cause significant emotional distress.

Conduct directed at Rumblebid staff is held to the same standard as conduct directed at other users. Abusive contact aimed at our support, legal, or moderation personnel — whether via support@trevul.com, legal@trevul.com, dispute correspondence, or in messaging threads where staff are participating — may result in immediate suspension of your account while we review.

Remedy escalates with severity. First-time low-severity matters typically draw a written warning, and the affected user is reminded of the in-platform Block feature (Settings → Blocked users), which prevents further contact between the two parties on Rumblebid without ending either account. Repeated or moderate-severity harassment results in temporary suspension under Section 14. Severe matters — credible threats of violence, doxing, sexual harassment, content involving minors, or any conduct that would itself constitute a crime — result in immediate termination and may be reported to law enforcement. Notwithstanding any normal retention or deletion schedule, we may preserve message content, metadata, and account history for evidentiary purposes when a credible report of harassment has been raised.

13. Your content; our license

You retain ownership of the photos, descriptions, and other content you submit ("Your Content"). By submitting Your Content, you grant Rumblebid a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute it for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service. The license ends when you delete the content, except where other users have already saved or shared it within the Service. You can't grant us this license for content you don't have rights to; if you upload someone else's photos without permission, that's your problem and the indemnification clause covers our liability for it.

Reporting infringement (DMCA notice). If you believe content on Rumblebid infringes your copyright, plant patent, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, send a notice to dmca@trevul.com or by mail to our DMCA Designated Agent:

Rumblebid DMCA Compliance
Trevul LLC
8 The Green, STE B
Dover, DE 19901
Phone: 770-765-2776
Email: dmca@trevul.com

For copyright claims the notice must meet the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include: (1) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act for the rights holder; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail (the listing URL is ideal) for us to locate it; (4) your contact information — address, phone, email; (5) a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.

Rumblebid is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as a service provider; our Designated Agent ID is DMCA-1073434 (entry searchable at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/).

Counter-notification. If your listing has been removed under a DMCA notice that you believe was sent in error or based on misidentification of the material, you may file a counter-notice. Send it to dmca@trevul.com with: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; (4) your name, address, and phone number; and (5) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, of any judicial district in which Rumblebid may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original notice sender.

When we receive a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original notice sender. If the sender does not file a court action seeking to restrain the listing within 10 to 14 business days, we will restore the listing.

Repeat infringers. Rumblebid will terminate the account of any user that Rumblebid determines, in its reasonable discretion, to be a repeat infringer. “Repeat infringer” is presumed to mean a user who is the subject of three or more valid takedown notices within any rolling 12-month period; Rumblebid may terminate earlier in cases of egregious or willful infringement, and may decline to terminate where a notice has been withdrawn, successfully counter-noticed, or otherwise resolved without removal.

Misrepresentations. 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) makes it unlawful to knowingly and materially misrepresent in a notice or counter-notice that material is infringing or that removal was a mistake. Rumblebid may seek damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — from any party that does so, and may share notices and counter-notices with the other party as part of the procedure above.

Our trademarks. “RUMBLEBID”, the Rumblebid logo, and related word marks and design marks are trademarks of Trevul LLC, used in connection with the Service. You may not use any Rumblebid mark without our prior written permission, except in nominative-fair-use contexts (e.g., factually identifying Rumblebid as the marketplace where a transaction occurred). You may not use Rumblebid marks in a domain name, product name, business name, or in any way that suggests Rumblebid sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with you when it doesn't.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can deactivate your account from the Account settings page (Danger zone → Delete my account) once any open commitments have settled — specifically: you must not be the highest bidder on a live auction, you must not have any sale awaiting payment or shipment, and you must not have any paid sale that hasn't been shipped. The settings page lists each open commitment and explains how to resolve it. For edge cases (a stuck dispute, a sale that won't close), contact support and an admin can deactivate the account on your behalf.

Closure is processed subject to retention obligations under applicable tax, financial, and fraud-prevention laws. When you delete your account, your saved Stripe payment methods are detached automatically (so Rumblebid can't charge them after deletion); your Stripe Customer record itself is retained for tax and audit purposes. Sellers' Stripe Connect (payouts) accounts are independent of Rumblebid and must be managed directly via Stripe.

How termination works on Rumblebid. Account closures and admin-initiated suspensions are implemented as soft-delete: the account is deactivated and login is blocked, all of the account's currently-live listings are cancelled (and any active bidders on those listings are notified that the auction was cancelled by the seller), and the account stops appearing on public surfaces such as listing browse pages, listing detail pages, the seller's public profile, and the Spotlight strip. The account row, prior transactions, prior reviews, and Stripe references are preserved for audit and dispute-resolution purposes, for the retention period described in the Privacy Policy (deactivated accounts are eventually deleted or anonymized on the schedule stated there). We do not immediately delete this data because doing so would erase records that buyers, sellers, tax authorities, or counsel may legitimately need to consult about completed transactions. Deactivated accounts may be restored by Rumblebid staff if a closure was issued in error or the underlying issue is resolved.

We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we believe you've violated these Terms, are using the Service to facilitate fraud or illegal activity, or pose a risk to other users or to us.

Suspension is distinct from termination. A suspension is a temporary hold on account activity while we investigate a concern: login may be blocked or limited, listings may be paused, pending payouts may be frozen, and bid or Buy-It-Now activity may be disabled until the matter is resolved. Suspended users retain their account and history; suspensions can be lifted, narrowed, or escalated to termination depending on what the investigation finds. Common reasons for suspension include: a payment dispute or chargeback under review; a report alleging fraud, misrepresentation, prohibited content, or harassment that needs verification; multiple unresolved complaints; an indication of compromised credentials; or a request from law enforcement or a regulator pending response. Suspension typically lasts no longer than necessary to complete the investigation; we will use reasonable efforts to communicate the basis and expected duration via the email address on file. Suspension does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid fees and does not extend any deadlines (e.g., the inspection window in Section 10).

Right to refuse or restrict service. Beyond suspension and termination, we reserve the right to refuse or restrict any user's access to specific features (for example, to disable Buy-It-Now while a payment-method issue is resolved, to revoke the Bidders capability for a staff account, to prevent the creation of new listings, or to cap account activity below the platform-wide limit) where doing so is reasonable in light of the user's history, applicable law, or the integrity of the marketplace. Feature-level restrictions follow the same notice and good-faith standards as suspension.

If you wish to have personal data removed from preserved records (e.g. email, address) in addition to the soft-delete above, contact legal@trevul.com; we'll honor lawful deletion requests subject to the retention obligations noted above and the Privacy Policy.

15. Privacy

How we collect, use, and share information about you is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TREVUL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT LISTINGS ARE ACCURATE, THAT SELLERS WILL DELIVER AS PROMISED, THAT BUYERS WILL PAY, THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

No oral or written information from Rumblebid or its employees creates a warranty not made in these Terms. Where the Service uses artificial-intelligence or machine-learning tools (for example, in content filtering or search), the availability and accuracy of those tools are not guaranteed.

17. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TREVUL'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), OR (B) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO TREVUL IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT WILL TREVUL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions don't allow limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Rumblebid harmless from any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law, (d) any transaction you enter into with another user through the Service, or (e) any misrepresentation of your identity, location, or eligibility.

19. Dispute resolution and binding arbitration

Read this section carefully. It limits how disputes between you and Rumblebid can be resolved.

Informal resolution first. Before filing arbitration, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days. Send a written notice describing the dispute to legal@trevul.com; we'll respond within 30 days and try to work it out.

Binding individual arbitration. If the dispute isn't resolved informally, you and Rumblebid agree that any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in Atlanta, Georgia, or remotely if both parties agree, in English. Each party bears its own costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and Rumblebid agree to bring claims in our individual capacities only. You may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party's claims and may not preside over any consolidated or representative proceeding.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring claims in small claims court for any matter that qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights. In addition, to the extent a claim for public injunctive relief cannot be waived or arbitrated as a matter of law (for example, under California law), such relief may be sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, with all other claims and remedies resolved in arbitration as provided here. These carve-outs survive even if the rest of this section is found unenforceable.

Coordinated filings. If twenty-five (25) or more demands for arbitration are filed against Rumblebid raising similar claims and represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the demands will be administered under the arbitration provider's then-current rules or protocols for mass or multiple case filings, applied even-handedly as written by the provider. Applicable statutes of limitations are tolled from the filing of a demand until it is administered under those rules. No bellwether or batching procedure binds any claimant who was not a party to it.

30-day right to opt out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@trevul.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Severability of this section. If any part of this Section 19 other than the class action waiver is found unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest of the section remains in effect. If the class action waiver itself is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then this entire arbitration agreement is void as to that claim (which shall proceed in court under Section 20), while remaining in force for all other claims.

Survival. This dispute resolution section survives termination of your account or the Service.

20. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any claim not subject to arbitration (small-claims actions or IP injunctive relief) must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

21. Changes to these Terms

These Terms will be updated from time to time. The current version, along with the version number and effective date, is always available at rumblebid.com/terms.

Re-acceptance is required to continue using the Service. When we publish a new version, the next time you sign in (or your next request, if you're already signed in) you will be shown a prompt with a link to the current Terms and asked to confirm your acceptance before you can continue. You are responsible for reviewing the Terms in full each time; we do not provide a summary or change log on the prompt, and clicking "I accept" represents your agreement to the Terms in their entirety as published at rumblebid.com/terms at the time of acceptance. You will not be able to bid, list, buy, message, or otherwise use the platform until you accept. You may instead log out, or delete your account from the settings page (subject to the open-commitment gate in Section 14); both options remain available from the re-acceptance page.

For material changes — anything affecting fees, dispute resolution, prohibited content, the licenses you grant us, or your data — we will additionally notify you by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect, so you have time to read and decide. Non-material updates (typo fixes, clarifying language, internal references) take effect immediately and still trigger the re-acceptance prompt described above so we have a clean record of which version each user is operating under.

22. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms you accept for specific features) are the entire agreement between you and Rumblebid.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Severability within the arbitration agreement is governed by Section 19's own severability terms.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision isn't a waiver of that provision.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets.

Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Survival. The following Sections survive any termination, suspension, or expiration of these Terms or your account: Section 13 (Your content; our license, including the IP-takedown procedures), Section 14 (Termination, to the extent of suspension/restriction rights and data-retention obligations), Section 16 (Disclaimer of warranties), Section 17 (Limitation of liability), Section 18 (Indemnification), Section 19 (Dispute resolution and binding arbitration), Section 20 (Governing law and venue), Section 22 (Miscellaneous, including this Survival clause and Force majeure), and any accrued rights or remedies of either party as of the date of termination.

Notices. Notices to you may be delivered to the email address associated with your account; you are responsible for keeping that address current and for promptly reading communications sent to it. Notices delivered by email are deemed received on the date sent (subject to confirmation of successful delivery by our mail provider). Notices to Rumblebid concerning these Terms must be sent in writing to legal@trevul.com; for service of legal process, also deliver a paper copy to Rumblebid's registered agent at the address listed at the bottom of Section 23. Notices to Rumblebid are deemed received when actually received, not when sent. The parties may amend the notice mechanism by mutual written agreement.

Force majeure. Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (other than the obligation to pay amounts already due) where the failure or delay is caused by events beyond the party's reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic or public health emergency, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action, failure of public utilities or telecommunications networks, internet outages, denial-of-service attacks, or failures or unavailability of upstream service providers (including but not limited to payment processors, hosting providers, email delivery providers, and content delivery networks). The affected party will use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. If a force majeure event continues for more than 90 consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected obligations on written notice.
