1. Your Acceptance of These Terms
This section describes how these Terms form a binding contract between you and us. If you use the service on behalf of a business, the business also agrees to these Terms.
These Terms are a legally binding contract (“Agreement”) between you (“you” or “your,” individually or the business you represent with each being a “User”) and Poshmark Canada, Inc., with a business address at 301-1040 Hamilton St., Vancouver, BC V6B 2R9 Canada (as applicable “Poshmark,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). If you are acting for purposes other than your personal, family, or household purposes, then you are a business user (“Business User”), and if you are an individual who is not a Business User, you are a consumer user (“Consumer User”). Users include collectively, Business Users and Consumer Users.
By accessing and/or using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and any policies referenced into this Agreement (which will become part of the Agreement). If you do not agree to abide by all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, you must not access and/or use the Service. You represent that you have the authority to bind yourself to this Agreement. If you access and/or use the Service on behalf of a business, then you represent that you have authority to bind that business to this Agreement and that the business accepts this Agreement.
This Agreement applies to the Poshmark platform and all related tools, features, and services, including the Poshmark mobile app (on any and all formats or devices), and the website located at https://www.poshmark.ca (the “Service”). The Service provides an online social marketplace where Users can list and sell items (“Items”). Users who purchase Items are “Buyers,” and Users who sell Items are “Sellers.” Users may be both Buyers and Sellers on the Service. By using the Service, Buyers and Sellers enter into a contract for the sale and purchase of Items directly between themselves, and Poshmark is not a party to such sale or purchase.
Please read these Terms carefully as they contain, to the extent legally allowable in your jurisdiction, an agreement to arbitrate as well as other important legal rights, remedies, and information. Some of these provisions may not apply to you (for example, if you are a consumer residing in Quebec).
2. Eligibility and Your Poshmark Account

Poshmark reserves the right to verify the account information you provide (“Account Information”).

10. Your Purchases and Sales
Buying and selling Items through the Service includes risk, fees, and taxes. Poshmark prohibits certain items from being sold and only allows returns in limited circumstances.
a. Your Risk
You assume certain risks in using a marketplace service such as Poshmark. Poshmark is not a participant in and provides no warranty for any transaction between a buyer and a seller, and Poshmark does not take title of any Items. You acknowledge and agree that Poshmark will not be considered a buyer or seller in any transaction conducted through the Service and that Poshmark is not an auctioneer, consignee, or a shipping carrier. When acting as a Buyer or Seller, you assume all of the risks of selling or purchasing Items through the Service.
b. Sellers
As a Seller, you agree to only Post Items that you have all rights necessary to sell and to describe such Items truthfully, accurately, and completely. Our Seller Policy (which is incorporated by reference into the Agreement) further describes the Seller rights, responsibilities, and fees.
c. Buyers
As a Buyer, you are solely responsible for reading and reviewing an Item’s listing before making an offer for an Item or purchasing an Item. Our Buyer Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement) further describes Buyer’s rights and responsibilities. Buyers are responsible for all fees as described in the Buyer Policy.
d. Fees
You can register for the Service for free, but Poshmark will charge certain fees for various transactions you may complete through your use of the Service and for certain other services Poshmark may provide as set forth in our Fee Policy. All amounts are quoted in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
e. Fee Modifications
We may change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, some or all fees for the Service at any time. Such changes will be effective upon our revision of the Fee Policy. Any changes to Fees applicable to or payable by Consumer Users will be subject to notice in accordance with Section 17 of these Terms.
f. Prohibited Items
Poshmark prohibits the listing or sale of any item that is described in our Prohibited Items Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement), including items that are illegal to sell or violate the rights of third parties such as counterfeit items.
Please refer to our Posh Authenticate Policy for further information on what steps Poshmark takes to help avoid the sale of counterfeit items through the Service and the remedies buyers have in connection with counterfeit items. The brands sold on Poshmark are not affiliated with Poshmark or the Posh Authenticate service, and our team members that assist in providing additional verification through the Posh Authenticate service are not affiliated with or certified by any brand sold on Poshmark.
If after reviewing an item, we have concerns about its authenticity or that it otherwise constitutes a prohibited Item, we may, in our sole discretion, cancel the order. In such cases, we will provide a refund for the full cost of the item and any accompanying shipping costs to the Buyer. Such refund will be the Buyer’s sole remedy for the cancelled order. Sellers will not receive earnings from orders cancelled in accordance with this paragraph. Sellers acknowledge and agree that if such items are in the possession of Poshmark, Poshmark may determine, in its sole discretion, whether to return, retain, destroy or dispose of such cancelled item. If such items are returned to Seller, Seller agrees not to attempt to relist or resell the item through the Service.
g. Purchases
Buyers accept the price offered by a Seller and purchase the Item, or Buyers may make an offer to Sellers to purchase Items from Sellers. Once an offer has been accepted by the Seller, it will be considered a purchase and a binding contract between the Buyer and Seller. The contract to purchase will be between Buyer and Seller and not between either party and Poshmark.
Upon purchasing an Item, a Buyer must remit payment to Poshmark for that Item, including any listed shipping or additional fees. Poshmark is not an auctioneer, a Seller or a shipping carrier.
Poshmark may delay any purchase for purposes of fraud detection or to protect Users from other illegal or wrongful activities. All purchases are final with no returns, refunds, cancellations, or retractions allowed, except where (i) the Buyer cancels an order within three (3) hours of purchase; (ii) the purchase has been cancelled when explicitly permitted by Poshmark or if applicable, a Seller; or (iii) the listing expressly indicates the availability of returns.
h. Payments
Buyers may pay for Items only by using payment methods approved by Poshmark, and Poshmark will receive such payment from the Buyer on behalf of the Seller. By submitting payment information through Poshmark, you authorize Poshmark to securely store that information and charge you for any Items purchased along with all associated taxes, shipping, and other fees. Poshmark reserves the right to request additional information for the purposes of completing any transactions, identity verification, fraud prevention, and any other regulatory and compliance purposes. Funds received by Poshmark from a transaction may, subject to the Fee Policy and your ongoing compliance with Section 18(a), be redeemed by Seller through Poshmark’s permitted third party payment provider(s) or used by the Seller to purchase items listed by other Sellers through the Service.
i. Taxes
Transactions conducted through the Service may be subject to applicable taxes in your jurisdiction which Poshmark will collect from Buyers on behalf of Sellers where legally obligated to do so. In the event Poshmark collects taxes as legally obligated, Poshmark will remit such taxes to applicable taxing authorities on behalf of Sellers. The listed prices for Items do not include taxes, but the taxes will be displayed before a Buyer confirms the purchase. Use of Posh Credit (as defined below) may modify taxes that apply to a Buyer’s purchase. Taxes may be estimated based on offers made on Items but remain subject to change if the final sale price differs from the original offer. Taxes are based on several factors, including price, location, and province, territory, federal applicable rates at time of purchase. Although we may assess estimated taxes upon purchase or sale, you will be ultimately responsible for the verification and reporting of any and all applicable taxes to the appropriate tax authorities, including instances where Poshmark does not collect taxes on your behalf.
j. Shipping
Buyer is responsible for paying for shipping fees as described in our Shipping Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement).
Poshmark will provide Seller with a prepaid shipping label (“Label”) as detailed in our Shipping Policy. Our Shipping Policy further describes Sellers’ shipping responsibilities. Poshmark reserves the right to discontinue providing Labels to any or all Users at any time and for any reason.
k. Returns
Poshmark may allow you to return an Item in limited circumstances. Please see our Return Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement) for more details.
l. Poshmark Credit
Poshmark may offer non-redeemable promotional credits to Users, for any reason, at the sole discretion of Poshmark, to be used exclusively for purchases on the Service (“Posh Credits”). Poshmark, in its sole discretion, will determine the requirements, amount, and value of these credits, if any. Posh Credits cannot, unless required by law, be redeemed for cash or cash equivalents, transferred or applied to prior purchases, and cannot be sold, made available to the general public, or acquired via public distribution. Users with suspended accounts will be prohibited from using Posh Credits during suspension. Other restrictions may apply. We may cancel any Posh Credits at any time upon reasonable notice. You may apply Posh Credits when paying for Items, subject to the terms in which we grant such Posh Credits. Poshmark will have no liability to you for any canceled or expired Posh Credits.

17. Changes to This Agreement
We may update this Agreement at any time by posting updated Terms. You will be responsible for reviewing the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, then you may not continue to use the Service.
We may update this Agreement, and all related Policies, from time to time by posting updated Terms on the Service. When we make changes to the Terms, we will update the above “Effective Date.” We may provide you additional notice of the changes through the Service or email. Changes will be effective upon posting unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for reviewing the changes, and your continued use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms and the amendment of the Agreement. If we make any material changes, we will notify you in the following ways if you are a Seller or a Buyer:
a. If you are a Seller, the following applies to you:
  1. Subject to Section 17(a)(iv), Poshmark may update these Terms, and all related Policies, by providing no less than thirty (30) days' advance notice to the Seller in writing (the "Change Notice"), save that if the amendments or additions require the Seller to make technical or commercial adaptations, Poshmark will provide the Seller with such longer notice period, if necessary, as is reasonable in the circumstances (the "Extended Notice Period").
  2. If you disagree with any amendments, you may terminate this Agreement by contacting us before the expiry of the Change Notice. If you choose to terminate this Agreement in this context, such termination shall take effect within thirty (30) days from the receipt of our notice to you. There is no penalty for terminating in this context.
  3. You may waive your right to terminate by means of a written statement or clear affirmative action after receipt of the Change Notice. By continuing to use the Poshmark platform after receipt of the Change Notice, unless you have indicated your intention to terminate or if the Extended Notice Period applies, then you shall be deemed to have waived your termination right under this section.
  4. The requirement for Poshmark to provide advance notice for any amendments or additions to this Agreement under this Section 17 will not apply where:
  1. Poshmark is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation which requires it to change this Agreement in a manner which does not allow Poshmark to respect the notice period referred to in Section 17(a)(ii); or
  2. Poshmark has exceptionally changed this Agreement to address an unforeseen and imminent danger related to defending the Poshmark Services, the Poshmark platform or the users of Poshmark from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity risks.
b. If you are a Consumer User, the following applies to you:
  1. If you have registered an Account with us we will provide you with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any such changes (unless the change is due to a change in law or for security reasons, in which case we may need to effect the change on shorter notice).
  2. If you disagree with any of the changes, you may terminate this Agreement in accordance with your termination rights set forth in the ‘Termination’ section of this Agreement. There is no cost or penalty for terminating in this context.

a. Trade and Economic Sanctions and Export Controls
The Service may be subject to economic and trade sanctions and export control laws in your applicable jurisdiction. You agree that you will not violate such laws, including any requirements applicable under the Export and Import Permits Act (Canada), and that you will be solely responsible for any such violation to the extent permitted by law. You represent that neither you, any business you represent, nor any beneficial owner of you or your business are: (i) a citizen or resident of a geographic area in which access to or use of the Service Is prohibited by applicable law, decree, regulation, treaty, or administrative act; (ii) a citizen or resident of, or located in, a geographic area that is subject to Canadian or other sovereign country sanctions or embargoes; or (ii) an individual, or an individual employed by or associated with an entity, subject to Canadian export control laws and regulations or other economic sanction rules of any sovereign nation, or otherwise ineligible to receive items under applicable law.

Printed versions of this Agreement and the referenced documents will be admissible in any legal proceeding. For clarity, mere use of the Service does not constitute electronic communication.
c. Severability and No Waiver
The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the enforceability of any other provision.

Our non-enforcement of any provision of this Agreement or under applicable law will not be construed as our waiver of any enforcement rights under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
