By using the Service, you consent to United By Zero's collection, use, and sharing of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy.

Description of the Service

The Service includes a suite of tools that allows Users to discover sustainable alternatives when shopping online. United By Zero offers a variety of ways to access aspects of our Service, including the Website and browser extension. Not all aspects of our Service will be available through all channels or in all locations. For example, some aspects of our Service may only be available through the United By Zero browser extension, or for users in certain countries.

In addition, you must become a Member to access some portions of our Service.

United By Zero does not charge fees to you for its Service. We try to locate the best product alternatives which may be better than other publicly available products. We make money to sustain the Service when you purchase or engage with these offers. While we try to find you the best available products, we may not always find you the best alternative product. United By Zero is not responsible for any missed sustainable alternatives.

While we attempt to provide accurate descriptions for the productS and other information shown within or through the Service, much of the information we display is provided by third-parties that we do not control. We do not warrant that the product descriptions or related merchant information or terms shown through the Service (including the browser extension, Website, or emailed offers) are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The inclusion of any products within the Website at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products will be available at any other time.

Offers are provided subject to availability. Exclusions, restrictions, and terms and conditions (including third-party merchant exclusions, restrictions, and terms and conditions) may apply.

Merchant Websites and Purchases

The Service allows you to view information about products listed for sale by third-party merchants online. United By Zero may provide product information through our browser extension when you are on a third-party merchant's website. You may also reach a third-party merchant website through a link from the Website or emailed offer. However, in all cases any merchant product will be purchased directly from the merchant and through the merchant's website. You are not buying the product from or through United By Zero. United By Zero is not a re-seller or distributor of any products of third-party merchants.

Merchant Returns

If you are unhappy with your merchant product purchase, if you wish to return your merchant product, if you ordered a merchant product and it has not arrived, or if you have another customer service inquiry regarding your purchased merchant product, you will need to contact the third-party merchant from whom you purchased the product. United By Zero is not involved in your merchant product purchase and is not able to assist with any customer service inquiries or returns related to that purchase.

United By Zero Is Not Responsible for Third-Parties

All products you purchase from a third-party merchant, including those linked from the Website or United By Zero emailed offer or through the United By Zero browser extension, are: (a) priced by the applicable third-party merchant (including whether such prices include applicable local, provincial, state, or federal taxes, and any additional fees, such as shipping and handling); and (b) fulfilled, shipped, and otherwise serviced (including but not limited to the processing of returns, refunds, and cancellations) by the applicable third-party merchant and not by United By Zero. United By Zero is not responsible for any third-party merchant products or any information contained on the third-party merchant's website.

You agree that your purchase from a third-party merchant is subject to such merchant's own terms and conditions applicable to such purchase. You agree that United By Zero is in no way responsible or liable to you for any products you purchase through or using the Service, including for any product liability claim, improper charges, delivery failures, pricing errors, or inaccurate product descriptions.

United By Zero does not promise or guarantee that the product details or sustainability ratings offered by any particular advertiser or other third-party via our Service are the best available in the market.

When you access third-party websites through our Service, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that United By Zero is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you are on a third-party merchant website and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service that you visit or utilize.

United By Zero has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices or opinions expressed in any third-party websites or by any third-party that you interact with through the Service. In addition, United By Zero will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third-party site or service.

By using the Service, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or service. If you have a dispute with any third-party (including a merchant from whom you purchase a product in connection with the Service), you agree that United By Zero is under no obligation to become involved. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release United By Zero, our affiliates, and each of their respective officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to any dispute you have with a third-party in connection with the Service. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."
