AUTHORIZED RETAILER PURCHASE TERMS OF SERVICE
Bulletproof 360, Inc. (“Bulletproof”) has implemented these Bulletproof 360, Inc. Authorized Retailer Purchase Terms of Service (the “Terms”), which apply to retailers of Bulletproof products in the United States of America. By purchasing Products (as hereinafter defined) from Bulletproof for retail sale, you (hereinafter “Retailer,” “you,” or “your”) agree to adhere to the Terms. Please read these terms carefully. Unless and until such status is otherwise revoked by Bulletproof, Retailer shall be considered an “Authorized Retailer” hereunder.
Bulletproof reserves the right in its sole discretion to approve or disapprove any application for Reseller status and to terminate any person’s status as a Reseller at any time for any reason or for convenience, and with or without notice. Upon termination, Reseller shall immediately cease any further purchase, resale or use of the Bulletproof products.
1. Appointment.
Retailer is granted the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to purchase Products from Bulletproof for resale to consumers in accordance with these Terms. The “Products” include only those Bulletproof products which are available for wholesale purchase from Bulletproof. Retailer is not authorized to resell any other products manufactured by or sold by Bulletproof. Retailer is, and at all times shall be, an independent contractor in all matters relating to these Terms, and shall not be deemed an agent, employee, franchise or partner of Bulletproof. Retailer and its personnel will not be entitled to any of the benefits that Bulletproof may make available to its employees, including, but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit sharing or retirement benefits.

Products shipped by Bulletproof will have a minimum shelf life of ninety (90) days from the day of order. Bulletproof reserves the right to reject any Purchase Order, in whole or in part, for any reason. Bulletproof reserves the right, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion and without any obligation, liability, or advance notice to Retailer, to discontinue the sale of or limit the production of any Product, to terminate or limit deliveries of any Product, to alter the design or composition of any Product, and to add new and additional products to, or delete existing Products from, its product lines.

-
(c) Payment Terms. Retailer shall pay for the Products and shipping in advance upon placement of the Purchase Order. Payment may be made via bank wire or ACH transfer, or using a valid credit card, debit card, or other payment method offered through bulletproof.com.

14. Authorized International Resellers.
The below terms apply to authorized international resellers approved via prior written agreement by Bulletproof, and are in addition to the above policies.
-
National and international regulations may restrict or prohibit the shipment or importation of certain products into your country, or may impose duties, tariffs or other charges on such shipments or imports. We are not responsible for determining whether products that you order may lawfully be imported into your country. Each Reseller is solely responsible for ensuring that its resale of Bulletproof products complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders in any jurisdiction or territory in which the Reseller operates or resells the products. Reseller shall be solely responsible for complying with any and all import and export control laws and regulations of the United States and any other country or jurisdiction into which it has been permitted to distribute the Bulletproof products.
-
Reseller shall be responsible for all taxes of any nature which become due with regard to resale of Bulletproof products, including, but not limited to, all sales, use, VAT, GST and other taxes, but excluding taxes on Bulletproof's income. In addition, Reseller shall pay all import and export duties, government permit fees, license fees, customs fees and similar fees levied as a result of the existence or operation of these Terms and any penalties, interest, collection costs and withholding costs associated with any of the foregoing. You must be aware that we have no control over any such additional costs, and cannot predict in advance whether there will be any and, if so, how much they will be. We recommend that you contact your local customs office to thoroughly inquire about import regulations and applicable duties, tariffs or other charges, and to obtain all necessary import permits, licenses or authorizations, before you place your order.
-
Due to customs and export or import restrictions some Bulletproof products may not be allowed for importation into certain countries, and some countries prohibit the sale of products containing certain ingredients. As a result, we may not be able to fulfill an order for such products if you live in one of those countries. However, you remain solely responsible for determining if products that you order can be lawfully imported into and sold in your country.
-
Resellers are responsible for the products once their order has shipped including products that may be rejected, confiscated or destroyed by customs officials. We do not accept returns due to problems relating to not following customs regulations or any export rule, law, regulation or order. We will not provide any refunds for any orders that are seized by customs officials, refused or held for delivery, abandoned by the intended recipient, that cannot be delivered due to an address error, or that contain products that cannot be sold in your country.
-
Bulletproof reserves the right to approve all online marketing and sales materials, including websites, blogs, and online stores pertaining to the Bulletproof products prior to publication.
