1.1 Seller Account
To access and use the Sales Services, you must sign-up on Live Cartel by creating an account (“Account”) by providing your full legal name and surname, a valid e-mail address and any other information indicated as mandatory. Live Cartel may refuse the request to activate an Account or cancel an existing Account, for any reason, with sole discretion.

By using Live Cartel you are confirming that you intend to use any Service provided by Live Cartel for the purpose of carrying out a business and not for personal, domestic, entertainment or family purposes. This means that your activity on Live Cartel is configured as an online sales activity, and it will be the User’s sole responsibility to fulfill the legal formalities to be able to sell online on a non-occasional basis. We are aware that Live Cartel will only use the e-mail address provided when opening the account (or updated from time to time) as the main method for communicating with the User. We recommend that you always monitor the email address linked to your Live Cartel account, to make sure the email address is able to send and receive messages. Email communications with Live Cartel can only be authenticated if they come from the email address linked to the User account.
The User is the only responsible for protecting his or her password to access Live Cartel. Live Cartel cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to maintain the security of your account and password. Furthermore, Live Cartel does not know the password chosen by the User, and cannot access it under any circumstances. In case of loss, a new password must be requested according to the procedure indicated in the Access to Services screen. The User acknowledges and agrees that he is the unique responsible for the creation and operation of his Live Cartel store, even if the creation and management of the store were conducted by third parties on behalf of the User. Live Cartel does not act on the store in any way, and any errors in the management of its store, committed directly or by third parties appointed by the User, cannot be corrected by Live Cartel. Live Cartel is not a marketplace. Any sales contract concluded through the Live Cartel shop takes place directly between the User (the Seller) and the buyer. Live Cartel is not involved in this relationship. The User is responsible for all activities carried out through the Live Cartel store and for all content such as photos, images, videos, graphics, written texts, audio files, information or data uploaded, collected, generated, stored, displayed, distributed, transmitted or exhibited on or in connection with your Account (“Materials”). An ascertained violation of any aspect of the Terms of Service, determined as such in Live Cartel’s sole discretion, may result in the immediate termination of the Services, including the shutdown of the Account.

By signing-up for a Customer Account, the User authorizes Live Cartel to use his information for the purpose of providing the service, which includes, for example, the sending of transactional emails relating to the activities on the stores created with Live Cartel, but also emails relating to advice on how to use the Live Cartel platform. We will not use the information for commercial purposes, and we will not keep any payment information in any way. The use of the Account is responsibility of the User, and the relationship between the Customer and the Seller does not see Live Cartel involved in any way. If desired, it is possible at any time to request an integration of information on your Customer Account, to transform it into a Seller Account, keeping the same access credentials to the Service. In this case, they will be applied all the conditions set out in Article 1.1 and following.

2.1 Store owner
The person who signs up for Live Cartel by opening a Seller Account on their own will be the contracting party (“Store Owner”) for the purposes of our Terms of Service, and will be the person authorized to use any Service provided to the store owner. If the User signs up on his own, he will assume the role of the shop owner and our contractual counterpart. However, if you sign up on behalf of your employer, the employer will be the Store Owner and our contractual partner. In this case you must use an email address provided by the employer and represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the employer to our Terms of Service. By proceeding with the registration, we assume that the User has understood and guaranteed this point. The Live Cartel store can only be associated with one store owner. However, a store owner can manage multiple Live Cartel stores. “Store” means both the online store and the live streaming video channel associated with the store.

Depending on the subscription plan chosen to use Live Cartel, it is possible to create one or more accounts for the User’s collaborators (“Staff Account”) allowing other people, identified by the store owner, to access the main account of the store. With Staff Accounts, the store owner can set permissions and allow third parties to work in their account, determining the level of access of collaborators to specific company information (for example, it is possible to limit access to the account of the contributor to sales information on the Orders page or prevent the contributor from changing general store settings). The collaborators are chosen and enabled by the shop owner. The store owner is responsible for all the acts, omissions and defaults resulting from the use of contributor accounts in the performance of obligations under these Terms of Service as if they were the store owner’s acts, omissions or defaults. The same rules and consequences apply to violations of the Terms of Service made by collaborators as to violations of the Terms of Service made by the shop owner.
