Our inventory availability and listing prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Pricing for items from non-local distribution centers may include a surcharge to cover additional localization and logistics costs. In order to maximize the selection of items available for sale, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit the amount of time an item may remain in a customer cart. In addition, please note that an item placed in a customer cart is not reserved for any amount of time and may remain available for purchase by another customer. Unfortunately, at times pricing or typographical errors may occur. In the event that an item is listed at an incorrect price or contains incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that item.

RETURN AND REFUND POLICY
Except as otherwise stated, you have 14 days after receiving your order to decide if you want to keep or return your items.

Multiple items may be returned in one package, as long as the return slips are included.
Refund Requirements:
- Items MUST be returned in the condition that you received them (i.e. items that are New with Tags must have original tags attached, clothing must not be worn or washed, etc.).
- Original shipping charge for returned items will not be refunded.
A shipping return fee will be deducted from your refund, which will be credited to your original form of payment.

While we acknowledge that pricing is not an exact science, we strive to provide fair and accurate pricing information. Our reference prices are set by a seasoned team of merchants who monitor market prices for the apparel that we sell.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event you wish to initiate an action, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by emailing hm@thredup.com.
If your issue is not resolved accordingly, then you agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: in the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction conducted through the Resale Shop, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part thereof (“Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first-class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent:
1. to ThredUp at:
ThredUp Inc.
Attention: Legal Department
969 Broadway, Suite 200
Oakland, CA 94607
OR
2. to you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.
You agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, A DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Arbitration is a process established by law that allows parties to a transaction to agree to resolve their Disputes by an independent arbitrator, rather than by a judge and jury. In an arbitration, only the arbitrator hears the evidence presented by both sides and makes a decision that is final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator may award damages and provide other relief as provided by law. By agreeing to arbitrate any Disputes with us, you agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute, You and ThredUp expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advance written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. We will provide such notice by email to your email address on file with us and you must provide such notice by email to legal@thredup.com. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Dispute. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration.
Where the relief sought is $10,000 or less, the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by FairClaims (www.fairclaims.com) in accordance with their applicable arbitration rules & procedures effective at the time a claim is made. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. To begin an arbitration proceeding with FairClaims, you must follow the steps outlined by FairClaims’ How It Works page.
Where the relief sought is $10,001 or more, the parties agree that resolution shall be conducted by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. To begin an arbitration proceeding with JAMS, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: ThredUp Inc. Attn: General Counsel, 969 Broadway, Suite 200, Oakland, CA 94607.
JAMS’s rules are also available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If permitted by JAMS, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
All aspects of any arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTIONS AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS
All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis, not on a class action or other consolidated basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not be joined with, or otherwise affect, any other Dispute. You and ThredUp agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and ThredUp hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Sites ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
