If you do not agree to the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy please cease using our Platform immediately.

We reserve the right to verify all user credentials and to reject any users. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Trunkline immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

If you are registering on behalf of your company, you represent and warrant that you are authorized by your company to create an account on your company’s behalf and you represent and warrant that you are authorized by your company to incur financial obligations and enter into legally binding agreements on behalf of your company.
Access and License Grant to You
After registering and properly paying for our Platform, where required, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to access the Platform. As a user,
you do not receive any ownership interest in any portion of the Platform; you merely receive the aforementioned revocable access as stated. All rights not explicitly granted are reserved for Trunkline. If you breach any of our usage guidelines, as stated below, we may revoke your license or your access to use our Platform at our discretion. Additionally, we may revoke your license or restrict your access to our Platform if we believe that your actions may harm us, our business interests, or any of our users. Failure by us to revoke your license or restrict access does not act as a waiver of your conduct.
The Platform The Trunkline Platform constitutes a directory for users to meet other users who wish to provide products or services (“Vendor(s)”). Trunkline is solely responsible for providing access to the Platform (“Trunkline Services”). Please be aware that any Trunkline Services are “as-is” and “as-available.” Additionally any information or content found on our Platform, including any notifications or tools provided, are offered only for informational purposes only. Further, Trunkline does not endorse, recommend, and is not otherwise affiliated with any Vendors. Trunkline has no liability to you for any content including but not limited to all User Content (defined below), Trunkline Vendor Content (defined below), information, copy, images, URL names, and anything else provided by any third parties using the Platform (collectively “Non-Trunkline Content”). USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TRUNKLINE IS MERELY A PLATFORM AND DOES NOT PERFORM ANY PHYSICAL SERVICES AND DOES NOT SCREEN, INTRODUCE, RECOMMEND, OR ENDORSE ANY VENDORS OR USERS. TRUNKLINE HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE USER BY ANY VENDOR, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE. BY USING THE TRUNKLINE PLATFORM, THE USER AGREES TO HOLD TRUNKLINE FREE FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE OUT OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY A VENDOR. TRUNKLINE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER INCLUDING ANY VENDOR, AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY A VENDOR. User and Vendor are solely responsible for negotiating all terms of any products or services provided and Trunkline is not a party to any contracts created between any users or Vendors. Users are solely responsible for their interactions with any users, Vendors, or third parties found on the Platform, and you agree to exercise caution, due diligence, and common sense when interacting or meeting with any users encountered via the Platform.
Vendors and Users
Trunkline allows Vendors the ability to communicate with users to provide any services or products (“Vendor Services”). Vendors may create a listing (“Listing”) that describes the Vendor Services offered, any products, the pricing, availability, refund policy, and other information. Users of the Trunkline Platform contract for all Vendor Services directly with Vendors. Trunkline is not a party to any contracts for any Vendor Services and cannot accept any obligations for any contracts negotiated by and between Vendor and User. Vendors are solely responsible for issuing any refunds for any Vendor Services. Trunkline does not direct, is not an employer, has no control over, makes no representations, and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of the Vendor or any Vendor Services provided. THE QUALITY OF THE VENDOR SERVICES SCHEDULED THROUGH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM IS ENTIRELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VENDOR WHO ULTIMATELY PROVIDES SUCH VENDOR SERVICES TO YOU. YOU UNDERSTAND, THEREFORE, THAT BY USING THE TRUNKLINE PLATFORM, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO VENDOR SERVICES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL TO MINORS, UNSAFE OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE, AND THAT YOU USE THE TRUNKLINE PLATFORM, AND SUCH VENDOR, AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRUNKLINE PLATFORM CONSTITUTES, OR IS MEANT TO CONSTITUTE, ADVICE OF ANY KIND.
Order Acceptance
All orders are subject to availability. An order contract is not created until Vendor accepts and acknowledges your order and sends you an order confirmation (“Order Confirmation”). For this reason, you agree that even after you receive an Order Confirmation Vendor may cancel your order without penalty. Please be aware that any statements made by Vendor are not representative of Trunkline and such statements cannot bind Trunkline.
Returns and Refunds
Users wishing to cancel a confirmed transaction of any Vendor Services are subject to the refund policy as stated and displayed by the Vendor’s Listing shall be solely responsible for any returns or refunds for any Vendor Services purchased by you. Please be sure to fully read any refund or return policies as listed on a Listing. Where a refund is required, the Vendor shall initiate a transaction request through our Platform. Please be aware that some refunds and returns may take time to process.
Shipping
You may be able to select from multiple shipping options as listed on the Listing page. Geographic availability of shipping is listed on the Listing and may vary by Vendor. Standard shipping times will apply. Where items are shipped you may be issued a tracking number by the Vendor that allows you to check the status of your package; however, not all shipments may have tracking numbers issued. We recommend you check all shipments immediately once you have received them. If you have any issues with your shipment, please contact the Vendor immediately.
Product Issues, Availability, and Pricing
It is possible that some of the products listed on a Vendor’s Listing page may be incorrectly priced, improperly labeled, or may be unavailable. Additionally, other errors may be displayed with the Listing. Where an error exists please contact the relevant Vendor immediately. Vendors are solely responsible for keeping any updated pricing listed for any Vendor product. Where a price for any Vendor product is mis-listed, Vendors shall have the right to modify the pricing before consummating a sale.
Product Photos and Sizing
Please be aware that all photos of any products on the Platform are for illustrative purposes only. Although we ask that Vendors use their best efforts to ensure that their products are almost entirely similar to the photos offered on the Platform, it is possible that some photos shown on Platform may not be entirely representative of the actual Vendor product. The final product received may vary slightly in color, size, look, finish, or style.

Third Party Access to Your Information
Although you are entering into an Agreement with Trunkline to disclose your information to us, we do use third party individuals and organizations to assist us, including contractors, web hosts, and others to allow you to access the Platform.
Throughout the course of our provision of our services to you, we may delegate our authority to collect, access, use, and disseminate your information. It is therefore necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy. For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorization which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving our website or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you.
Law Enforcement
You agree that we may disclose your information to authorities if compelled to by a court order. Additionally, you agree that we may disclose your information if we reasonably believe that you have violated US laws, the terms of our Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, or if we believe that a third party is at risk of bodily or economic harm. In the event that we receive a subpoena affecting your privacy, we may elect to notify you to give you an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena, or we may attempt to quash it ourselves, but we are not obligated to do either. We may also proactively report you and release your information without receiving any request to third parties where we believe that it is proper to do so for legal reasons, where your actions violate any law of the United States or any other country having jurisdiction over us, our Platform, or our Terms of Use.
