Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside as well as the restrictions on import or export of Items from the Dealer’s country to your country.
3. Operation of the Site and the Role of Aaron Mapp
The Site provides an online marketplace to sell goods ("Items") to Buyers.
The provisions of the Commercial Agents Directive (86/653/EC) as implemented in any European jurisdiction (for example, in the UK via the Commercial Agents Regulations 1993) are expressly excluded from these Terms and our agreement. By using the Site, Buyers select and purchase goods marketed, solely of their own initiative, placing orders via the Site.
4. Relationship of the Parties
The Buyer is responsible for determining the value, condition and authenticity of the Items being purchased, to pay the purchase price to the Gallery including any sales tax, VAT or import/export duties, and to arrange for shipping of the Items purchased.
The agreements between the Buyer and the Gallery shall not be governed by the U. N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
5. Eligibility to Use the Site
You must be 18 years of age or older to use this Site. This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect information from such children. The Site is designed for persons with experience with, and who are accustomed to, buying Items based on photographs and the Buyer represents having such experience.
6. Site Use Termination
Aaron Mapp expressly reserves the right to terminate the use of, or to refuse to permit the use of, the Site by any person or entity, at the sole discretion of 1stdibs, for any reason or no reason at all, and without prior notice.
7. Registration and Account Access
Registration may be required in order to use the Site.
Registrants are required to provide certain information and to select a password to be used to create and access their accounts. This password and other registration details should be kept safe and not shared with anyone. Registrants may voluntarily provide additional information in the registration process to personalize their accounts. Registrants may access their accounts to view their profile information as well as transaction information by clicking the icon on the home page of the Site after logging in.
Buyers may cancel their registration and account at any time. For your security, requests to terminate accounts MUST originate from the registered email account at Aaron Mapp addressed to info@aaronmapp.com. Under no circumstances will a cancellation request received via the phone or otherwise be accepted.
8. Item description, pricing and availability; Site unavailability
Aaron Mapp is responsible for the accuracy in describing and pricing the Items on the Site. The Buyer should contact the Gallery before a purchase is made for additional information and/or images of a piece. Pieces online may not be in the same condition when you purchase as when they were photographed. It is the Buyers responsibility to inquire about the current condition before purchasing.
Due to the nature of the internet, occasional glitches, service interruptions or mistakes may cause unintended inaccuracies to appear on the Site. Aaron Mapp has the right to correct inaccuracies or mistakes that come to its attention and to void any purchases of Items that display an inaccurate price or description.
You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Site may occur from time to time as normal events.
Also, we may decide to cease making available the Site or any portion of the Site at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will 1stdibs or the Dealers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.
Because most of the Items displayed on the Site are unique and Aaron Mapp offers retail opportunities for the sale of the Item independent from this Site, all Items displayed on the Site are offered for sale strictly subject to availability.
The Buyer is aware that unless otherwise stated, the Items are not new nor in perfect condition and may require touch-up or repairs prior to use and that the available information about these Items may be limited. The Site is designed to provide the Buyer access to Items as presented to them.
9. The Sale Process
Purchases through Site. When a Buyer identifies an Item for purchase, the Buyer may make an offer to purchase the Item directly through the Site’s checkout page or by contacting the Gallery through any method listed on the Site. At that time the Buyer shall submit valid payment information to Aaron Mapp for payment of the Total Purchase Price. The "Total Purchase Price" is the price agreed to on the Site between Buyer and Aaron Mapp and includes (i) the agreed price of the Item (the "Purchase Price"); (ii) if applicable, shipping fees; and (iii) sales tax, use tax, VAT, Internet sales tax and/or any other taxes or levies that the Dealer is required to collect from the Buyer under applicable law at the time of sale. By making an offer to purchase, the Buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price and Aaron Mapp agrees to sell the Item for the Total Purchase Price once a Sale Confirmation is issued to the Buyer. Once made, an offer may not be canceled or revoked by the Buyer unless the offer was made at a time when the Total Purchase Price was yet to be confirmed e.g. because the shipping fees were unknown at the time of placing an offer (and subject to any statutory rights a Buyer may have).
10. Payment for Products Purchased
Immediately upon receipt of the Sale Confirmation, the Buyer shall remit an amount equal to 100% of the Total Purchase Price.
The Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes Aaron Mapp upon Sale Confirmation to charge the Buyer’s credit card or other payment methods for an amount equal to the Total Purchase Price.
If for any reason after receipt of the Sale Confirmation, Buyer cancels a payment made by credit card or any other means or the Buyer otherwise fails to make any payment(s) with respect to the Total Purchase Price, Buyer shall remain liable to the Aaron Mapp for the full Total Purchase Price and any costs related to the sale of the Item including but not limited to taxes, storage and handling fees if applicable and any costs incurred by Aaron Mapp including but not limited to legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations.
Without limitation to the preceding sentence and in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, in the event of Buyer default, Aaron Mapp reserves the right, at its election, to retain any and all payments paid by Buyer prior to Buyer default with respect to the Item and to cancel the sale of the Item without any further obligation to Buyer. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that damages to Aaron Mapp in the event of Buyer Default will be difficult or impossible to prove and that the paid amount is reasonable compensation to Aaron Mapp for damages suffered and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.
11. Right of Cancellation
Cancellation of orders are not allowed.
12. Sales are "As-Is"
All Items displayed on the Site are sold "AS IS". Aaron Mapp does not make any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any Buyer with respect to any Item, including without limitation, its condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation. Aaron Mapp makes no representation or warranty as to whether the Buyer acquires any reproduction rights or other intellectual property rights in any Item.
13. Expert Review
If the Buyer is purchasing an Item based partially or entirely on its stated provenance, designer or creator, the Buyer may at its option and at its own cost arrange with the Aaron Mapp to have Buyer’s selected expert review the Item prior to purchase. Selection of the expert is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Any arrangements for inspection shall be made between the Buyer and Aaron Mapp. Buyer expressly acknowledges that the Buyer’s use and/or reliance on any expert is at the Buyer’s own risk and cost.
14. Taxes and Import/Export Duties
The Buyer is entirely responsible for paying all sales and use taxes, VAT, export and/or import taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies related to the purchase of each Item purchased (collectively, "Taxes"). The Buyer shall pay Aaron Mapp such Taxes as is required to collect, but failure of the Aaron Mapp to collect the Taxes will not relieve the Buyer’s obligation. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes. The Buyer must determine, pay, collect, remit and report to the appropriate taxing authority the correct amount of all export and/or import taxes or duties payable upon export of the Item from its country of origin and import into the United States or any other country.
15. Import/Export Restrictions
Some of the Items sold on the Site may require cultural, customs and endangered species permits for export from the country where they are located and import into the Buyer’s country. Items may also be subject to a right of the country from which they are exported to purchase the Items from the Buyer, sometimes called a "right of preemption". Aaron Mapp does not make any representation, gives any warranty or shall have any liability to the Buyer in respect of the requirement for, or the availability, or issuance of valid export or import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere.
If the listing of any Item on the Site discloses that the Item requires a cultural export permit or Aaron Mapp discloses such requirement after confirmation of the sale but before the shipper picks up the Item, or the Buyer first learns that an export permit is required after the Item has been picked up by the shipper, and Aaron Mapp is unable to obtain the export permit within thirty (10) days after the later of confirmation of the sale or disclosure of the requirement for the export permit, the Buyer may rescind the sale of such Item by giving written notice to Aaron Mapp within seven (3) business days after expiration of the applicable thirty (10) day period. In no event shall the Buyer be entitled to rescind a sale more than ninety (30) days after the date of the sale to the Buyer.
If the sale is rescinded, the Buyer shall cause the affected Item to be returned to the Dealer at the Buyer’s cost unless otherwise agreed. Upon such return, Aaron Mapp shall return to the Buyer the Total Purchase Price minus a 20% restocking fee. The benefit of this right of rescission is not assignable and belongs solely to the Buyer.
16. Transfer of Title/Risk of Loss
Aaron Mapp will convey clear title of each Item to the Buyer upon receipt by Aaron Mapp or his/her agent of their Total Purchase Price for the Item.
In the case of Buyer-arranged shipping, risk of loss and title for such Items pass to Buyer upon Aaron Mapp's delivery of the Item to the carrier selected by the Buyer for shipment or when the Buyer picks up the Item from the Gallery. In the case the Gallery is arranging shipping, risk of loss and title for such Items pass to Buyer upon Buyer’s receipt of the Item. The Gallery is the sole owner of each Item offered for sale on the Site and is duly authorized by the owner of the Item to sell the Item and that the Gallery will transfer ownership of the Item to the Buyer free from any claims by third parties.
17. Shipping
Buyer-arranged shipping. Buyer is in every instance free to arrange Buyer’s own shipping and may elect to use any shipping company of its choice. The crating/shipping/insurance companies designated by the Buyer are the Buyer’s agents and the Buyer will bear all applicable costs and pay such costs directly to the agents. Buyer may also ask the Gallery to arrange for shipping of Items on Buyer’s behalf which may be subject to pre-advertised shipping prices.
Gallery-arranged shipping. Buyer may elect to have the Gallery arrange for crating, packaging, shipping and freight insurance. Upon Buyer’s request Gallery shall provide shipping information including the name of the freight carrier, the complete cost of shipment from Gallery to Buyer’s designated receiving address, the cost of any duty or other charges to be paid by Buyer, the cost of freight insurance and the name of such insurance provider, as well as any costs or fees to be charged by the Gallery for crating or packaging the Items for shipment. Buyer and the Gallery shall mutually agree on shipment terms and Buyer shall prepay all shipment costs for Gallery-arranged shipping.
18. Buyer Business Practices and Obligations
We expect and require Buyers to comply with the following business practices:
(i) Buyers shall treat Aaron Mapp with respect and without discrimination;
(ii) Buyers must obtain appropriate insurance for all shipments at Buyer’s sole cost for buyer-arranged shipping;
(iii) Buyers shall provide accurate account information and keep contact information up to date; and
(iv) Buyers shall make payment immediately, via major credit card with sufficient available balance or other means to pay the Total Purchase Price when it becomes due.
19. Refusal of Transaction
Aaron Mapp reserves the right to withdraw any Item from the Site or to amend any content on the Site at any time in its sole discretion.

29. Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action; Applicable Law/Jurisdiction
(A) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or its breach, which cannot be resolved between the parties through negotiation within thirty (30) days, shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for mandatory binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator chosen in accordance with the AAA Rules. Discovery shall be permitted, but only to the extent that the documents are directly relevant to and needed for fair resolution of one or more of the issues of importance and can be located and produced at a cost that is reasonable in the context of all surrounding facts and circumstances. When the cost and burden of discovery are disproportionate to the likely importance of the requested materials, the arbitrator may deny the requests or require that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other side.
(B) Additional Provisions. The arbitrator may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort, nor award damages inconsistent with these Terms. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to enforce the results of the arbitration or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which the award is based. The result of the arbitration shall bind the parties and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In addition to any and all other relief to which a Party may be entitled, the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expert witness fees and costs, to the prevailing Party (should there be one) in any such arbitration.
(C) Waiver of Jury Trial; Individual Basis; Equitable Relief. The parties surrender and waive the right to submit any dispute to a court or jury, or to appeal to a higher court. The parties agree to arbitration on an individual basis. Where enforceable, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER DEALERS OR PERSONS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SITE USERS. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall prohibit either party from seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (without necessity of posting bond) injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo and/or avoid irreparable harm for which monetary damage would be insufficient.
(D) Where Held; Language; Governing Law. The place of arbitration shall be the county Miami-Dade, City of Miami, FL, USA, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. These Terms shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws and the arbitrator shall follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Southern District of New York would apply to the dispute.
