1. Acceptance and Contracting Party
1.1 Binding Agreement
This Seller Agreement is a binding electronic contract between CrownThrive LLC and the individual or entity operating the seller account.
Selecting a checkbox, clicking an acceptance button, creating a seller account, purchasing a seller plan, publishing a listing, fulfilling an order, or otherwise using seller functionality constitutes electronic acceptance with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature to the fullest extent permitted by law.
1.2 Individuals and Entities
If you register for yourself, you personally accept this Agreement. If you register for a company, partnership, nonprofit organization, brand, association, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept this Agreement and bind that entity.
Where an entity is the seller, references to “you” include the entity, its owners, authorized representatives, employees, agents, contractors, and all persons using the seller account.
1.3 Incorporation of Other Terms
The Good Shit Only Terms & Conditions and applicable Trust Center policies are incorporated into this Agreement. If a specific seller policy conflicts with a general provision of the Terms & Conditions, the more specific seller policy controls for the subject it governs.
1.4 Transaction-Specific Terms
Additional terms may be displayed in a membership checkout, listing form, category requirement, promotional program, payout request, consultation booking, or other seller workflow. By completing that activity, you agree to the additional terms presented.
1.5 Mandatory Legal Rights
Nothing in this Agreement excludes an obligation or right that applicable law does not permit the parties to exclude.
2. Independent Seller Relationship
2.1 Independent Business
You operate as an independent seller and are solely responsible for your business and offerings.
Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, representative, agency, brokerage, distributorship, or similar relationship between you and GSO, except for the limited payment-collection authorization expressly described in this Agreement.
2.2 No Employment Benefits
You are not an employee of CrownThrive LLC and are not entitled to wages, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, paid leave, retirement benefits, expense reimbursement, or other employment rights from GSO.
2.3 Seller Controls Its Business
Subject to marketplace rules, you determine what eligible offerings to sell, your lawful prices, inventory, fulfillment methods, working schedule, service availability, and business practices.
2.4 Seller of Record
Unless CrownThrive LLC is expressly identified as the seller of a particular offering, you are the seller of record for your listings and transactions.
You, rather than GSO, are responsible for the product or service, listing accuracy, legal compliance, fulfillment, customer service, warranties, returns, safety, licensing, and claims arising from your offering.
2.5 No Guaranteed Sales
GSO does not guarantee sales, revenue, traffic, visibility, rankings, referrals, conversion, customer demand, business growth, or any other commercial result.
2.6 No Exclusivity
Unless you separately agree otherwise in writing, this Agreement is nonexclusive. You may sell through other lawful channels, provided you do not misuse GSO information, evade marketplace fees, or violate this Agreement.
3. Seller Eligibility

An individual seller must be at least eighteen years old and have reached the legal age of majority in the seller’s jurisdiction.
A minor may not independently open a seller account, enter seller contracts, receive payouts, or accept this Agreement.

3.5 Prior Enforcement
You may not create or operate a seller account to avoid a previous restriction, suspension, termination, unpaid balance, verification requirement, product limit, or enforcement decision.
3.6 Category Eligibility
Certain categories may require prior approval, professional credentials, product documentation, age controls, insurance, specialized shipping, regulatory authorization, or other eligibility requirements.
Approval to sell in one category does not authorize sales in every category.

You may not sell, assign, lease, transfer, or sublicense a seller account or membership without prior written approval from GSO.
5. Identity, Business, and Tax Verification

GSO may verify any seller before or after account approval, listing publication, order acceptance, payment processing, or payout.

Verification may require:

We may use payment providers, identity-verification companies, government databases, public records, business registries, sanctions-screening tools, fraud-prevention services, or other lawful sources.
5.4 Continuing Verification
Verification may be repeated when information changes, documents expire, sales volume increases, suspicious activity occurs, a payout is requested, a regulated category is used, or applicable law requires updated information.
5.5 Failure to Verify
We may prevent listing publication, limit account functions, suspend new orders, delay payouts, remove listings, or terminate a seller account if requested information is not provided, is incomplete, cannot be verified, appears altered, is inconsistent, has expired, or is reasonably suspected to be false or misappropriated.
5.6 Use of Verification Information
Verification information may be used for identity, fraud prevention, payments, payouts, tax, safety, legal compliance, marketplace transparency, enforcement, dispute resolution, and other purposes described in the Privacy Policy.
6. High-Volume Sellers and Marketplace Transparency
6.1 Federal Marketplace Requirements
A seller offering new or unused consumer products may become subject to federal high-volume third-party seller requirements.
For purposes of applicable federal marketplace law, a seller may qualify as a high-volume third-party seller when, during any continuous twelve-month period within the previous twenty-four months, the seller completes at least two hundred separate sales or transactions of covered new or unused consumer products through GSO and receives at least $5,000 in gross revenue from those transactions, subject to applicable statutory definitions and exemptions.
6.2 Required Information
A seller that reaches an applicable threshold must provide required information within the period specified by GSO or applicable law.
Required information may include:
- Bank-account information or the name of the payee receiving marketplace payments;
- Business tax identification number or taxpayer identification number;
- Legal name;
- Business name;
- Working email address;
- Working telephone number;
- Physical address;
- Government identification or qualifying government-issued business records;
- Information identifying a person acting on behalf of an entity;
- Other information required by applicable marketplace law.
6.3 Verification and Certification
You authorize GSO to verify required high-volume seller information using documents, payment providers, designated third parties, government records, tax documents, public records, communication tests, or other reasonable procedures.
A covered seller must electronically certify at least annually, or at another legally required interval, that its information remains accurate or has been updated.
6.4 Seller Disclosures
Where a covered seller reaches an applicable annual revenue threshold, GSO may display or provide information required by law in product listings, order confirmations, transaction histories, seller profiles, or other legally authorized locations.
Disclosures may include:
- The seller’s full name or business name;
- The seller’s physical address or legally permitted substitute disclosure;
- A working telephone number, email address, or direct electronic messaging method;
- Information concerning another business that supplied a purchased product where disclosure is required;
- A method for reporting suspicious marketplace activity.
6.5 Home-Based Seller Exception
A qualifying home-based seller may request a legally permitted limited-address disclosure. GSO may require evidence supporting the request.
A seller receiving a limited disclosure must maintain a working direct contact method and respond to consumer communications within a reasonable time.
6.6 Suspicious-Activity Reports
GSO may provide electronic and telephone reporting methods on applicable listings. Sellers must cooperate with legitimate investigations resulting from suspicious-activity reports.
6.7 Required Suspension
Where applicable law requires suspension, GSO will suspend future sales activity if a covered seller fails to provide, verify, update, or certify required information within the legally required period after notice.
Sales activity may remain suspended until compliance is completed.
6.8 False Information
Providing false information, falsified documents, misappropriated identity information, or a false home-based seller certification is a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate restriction, payout holds, termination, reporting, or legal action.
6.9 Security of Collected Information
Information collected specifically to comply with marketplace-verification law will be protected and used in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

20.4 Release of Funds
Funds may be released after the relevant risk decreases, fulfillment is confirmed, a dispute period expires, verification is completed, or another applicable condition is satisfied.
20.5 Information Requests
You must provide requested information concerning fulfillment, identity, sourcing, refunds, safety, ownership, transactions, or customer communications before held proceeds may be released.
