Terms of Service

Draft notice

These terms are draft website copy and are not legal advice. FlipFit should have an Ontario lawyer review the final version before public launch.

Who can use FlipFit

• FlipFit is intended for users in Canada, launching first in Ottawa, Ontario.
• Users under 13 may not create or control their own account; a parent or guardian must control any use involving a child under 13.
• Users under 18 may use FlipFit only with parent or guardian awareness and oversight.

Marketplace role

• FlipFit provides a platform for users to list, discover, message about, and arrange local resale transactions.
• Unless stated otherwise, FlipFit is not the seller or buyer and does not own, inspect, authenticate, or guarantee items.
• Users are responsible for checking item condition, authenticity, price, safety, and suitability before completing a transaction.

User responsibilities

• Be honest about item condition, brand, size, price, and defects.
• Do not post exact home addresses, school schedules, lockers, student IDs, phone numbers, or other sensitive details.
• Do not post faces, school logos, uniforms, license plates, or identifying private backgrounds in listing photos.
• Meet only in safe public places and involve a guardian or trusted adult for younger users.

Transactions and payments

The MVP is designed around user-arranged local transactions. Do not send deposits, gift cards, suspicious links, or off-platform payments to someone you do not trust. Future in-app payments will require separate terms and legal/payment-processor review.

Enforcement

FlipFit may warn, limit, suspend, or remove accounts/listings where needed for safety, legal, fraud, moderation, or policy reasons.
