6.4 Enhanced Verification. For purchases of $500 or more, high-risk activity, suspicious activity, or other circumstances determined by Bargain Club Shop, we may require enhanced identity verification. Enhanced verification may include a live selfie, facial comparison, document review, or similar identity-confirmation process performed by Stripe or another third-party provider.
6.5 Separate Consent for Biometric or Live-Selfie Verification. If biometric verification, live-selfie verification, facial comparison, or similar identity screening is required, Bargain Club Shop will require a separate click-through consent before the applicable high-value purchase or verification event. Additional disclosures, consent language, retention terms, and provider-specific terms may apply.

9.1 Listing Information. Product descriptions, images, MSRP references, retail-price references, discount percentages, savings estimates, condition descriptions, inventory information, shipping estimates, and availability information are provided in good faith but may contain errors, become outdated, or change without notice.
9.2 MSRP and Comparable Value. MSRP, retail price, comparable value, resale value, market value, savings estimates, and discount estimates are informational only. They are not guarantees of value, resale price, profit, demand, liquidity, or actual savings.
9.3 Corrections and Cancellations. Bargain Club Shop may correct errors, cancel orders, adjust listings, change quantities, refuse transactions, or withdraw products where information is inaccurate, inventory is unavailable, a price or quantity error occurred, or fraud/abuse review is required.
9.4 New Items. Where item condition is indicated as "NEW," the product is guaranteed by Bargain Club Shop to be authentic and obtained from an authorized reseller, if applicable.
9.5 Other Item Conditions. Item conditions may also include "SHELF PULLS," "NEVER USED," "NEW OLD STOCK," or similar descriptions. These items may be sourced from third-party resellers and not from the original authorized reseller.
9.6 Source Disclosure. Each listing will clearly state the source of each item where applicable. The buyer is responsible for performing due diligence or requesting clarification before purchase.
9.7 Items Not Sold as New. Items not sold as "NEW" are not guaranteed in any way unless a specific guarantee is stated in the item listing.
10. Orders and Payments
10.1 Payment Obligations. You agree to pay all membership fees, product prices, shipping charges, taxes, restocking fees, and other amounts disclosed at checkout, billing, or in the applicable policy.
10.2 Payment Processors. Bargain Club Shop may use third-party payment processors. Your use of a payment method may be subject to additional terms from the payment processor, card network, bank, wallet provider, or other third party. Bargain Club Shop does not accept international payments, non-U.S. payment methods, or payments that we determine are associated with international access or billing activity.
10.3 Payment Problems. Failed payments, reversed payments, disputed payments, suspected payment abuse, payment mismatch, or payment-related fraud signals may result in cancellation of claims, cancellation of orders, suspension of membership benefits, loss of access, or account termination. Any chargeback or payment reversal initiated by a member may result in automatic termination of the member's Bargain Club Shop account and membership, without refund, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10.4 Refusal or Cancellation Before Fulfillment. Bargain Club Shop may refuse or cancel any transaction before fulfillment if we believe the transaction violates these Terms, violates a drop rule, presents fraud risk, or cannot be completed for operational reasons.
11. Subscriptions, Renewal, Cancellation, and Membership Refunds
11.1 Automatic Renewal. Membership subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the next billing date. The applicable price, billing frequency, and renewal terms will be disclosed during signup or checkout.
11.2 Online Signup and Cancellation. All subscription signup and cancellation will occur online inside the Bargain Club Shop membership portal.
11.3 Cancellation Effect. You may cancel your membership at any time through the membership portal. Cancellation stops future renewal charges but does not create a prorated refund for the current billing period.
11.4 First Payment Refund. Your first subscription payment may be refunded if you request the refund within the first 30 days after initial signup and you have not redeemed any redemption code. Once you redeem a code, the first subscription payment becomes non-refundable, even if you do not complete a product purchase using that code.
11.5 Later Subscription Payments. After the first subscription payment, membership fees are non-refundable unless Bargain Club Shop states otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise.
11.6 Changes to Pricing or Benefits. Bargain Club Shop may change membership prices, billing terms, or membership benefits with notice where required. Price changes will apply according to the notice provided and applicable law.
12. Product Returns, Refunds, Exchanges, and Defects
12.1 Return Policy Applies. Product purchases are subject to the product return policy, any product-specific return restrictions, the applicable product detail page, and these Terms.
12.2 Return Window. Unless a product listing states otherwise, eligible products may be returned within 30 calendar days from customer receipt.
12.3 Return Eligibility. Unless a product listing states that the item is final sale or otherwise return-restricted, eligible products may be returned subject to approval, inspection, the return window, product condition, serial-number matching, packaging requirements, abuse controls, and applicable law. Products that have been opened but not used may be returnable if they otherwise satisfy the return requirements. Used products are not returnable unless Bargain Club Shop determines that a valid defect claim applies.
12.4 Restocking Fee and Return Shipping. Approved returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless Bargain Club Shop states otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise.
12.5 Final Sale and Restricted Returns. No category is automatically final sale solely because of the category. However, individual listings may state that an item is final sale or subject to restricted returns. This may apply to limited-quantity products, promotional products, clearance products, open-box products, special-order products, time-sensitive products, products with missing packaging, products with mismatched serial numbers, products showing use or damage, or other products identified in the listing.
12.6 Product Defects. Product-defect claims should be submitted to Bargain Club Shop. Bargain Club Shop will handle customer-facing defect issues directly, subject to the return policy, listing terms, manufacturer limitations, inspection, and applicable law. Defective-product warranty coverage applies only to items listed as "NEW." For an eligible defective NEW item, the buyer must first return the product to Bargain Club Shop and prepay return shipping. If Bargain Club Shop determines after inspection that the unit is truly defective and the claim is valid, Bargain Club Shop will refund the buyer for the product and the eligible return-shipping cost.
12.7 Manufacturer Warranties. A product may also be covered by a manufacturer warranty or other third-party warranty where applicable. Bargain Club Shop does not guarantee that any manufacturer warranty applies unless the applicable listing expressly states that it does.
12.8 Return Abuse. Bargain Club Shop may refuse returns, refunds, or exchanges involving fraud, abuse, excessive returns, altered products, missing items, mismatched products, mismatched serial numbers, chargebacks, or violation of these Terms.
13. Shipping, Delivery, Signature, and Insurance
13.1 Accurate Shipping Information. You must provide accurate shipping information. Bargain Club Shop ships only to eligible United States addresses and does not ship internationally. Bargain Club Shop may restrict shipping destinations, shipping methods, PO boxes, freight forwarders, reshippers, virtual mailboxes, high-risk addresses, or addresses associated with suspected fraud or abuse.
13.2 Delivery Estimates. Delivery time estimates are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates. Delays may occur because of carrier issues, weather, inventory processing, fraud review, address verification, payment review, or other operational reasons.
13.3 Signature Requirement. Purchases over $100 require an in-person signature on delivery unless Bargain Club Shop waives that requirement in writing or the carrier does not support it for the shipment.
13.4 Shipping Insurance. Bargain Club Shop will purchase shipping insurance where reasonably available and will manage shipping-insurance claims. Bargain Club Shop will not charge the customer a separate shipping-insurance fee.
13.5 Customer Cooperation. You must cooperate with Bargain Club Shop, the carrier, and any insurer in connection with damaged, missing, delayed, or misdelivered packages. This may include providing photos, packaging, affidavits, claim forms, police reports where appropriate, carrier communications, or other information reasonably needed to evaluate or submit a claim.
13.6 Reporting Shipping Issues. You are responsible for monitoring tracking information and promptly reporting missing, delayed, damaged, or misdelivered packages.
13.7 Lost or Damaged Shipment Remedy. If a shipment is lost or damaged in transit and Bargain Club Shop's shipping-insurance claim is approved and paid by the insurer, Bargain Club Shop will refund the customer after Bargain Club Shop receives payment from the insurer. Bargain Club Shop may require customer cooperation, documentation, carrier confirmation, insurer approval, and completion of the insurer's claim process before issuing the refund.

15.1 Community Spaces. Bargain Club Shop may operate community spaces, including Discord channels, forums, chats, comments, announcements, educational sessions, alerts, and member discussions.
15.2 Discord Is Separate from Membership. Discord access is a community feature and is separate from the existence of your Bargain Club Shop website membership. A Discord restriction, mute, removal, or ban does not automatically cancel your paid website membership.
15.3 Community Rules. You must follow these Terms, posted community rules, moderation policies, Discord's rules, and applicable law. Prohibited conduct includes harassment, threats, spam, scams, doxxing, hate speech, impersonation, fraud, sharing private codes, selling access, scraping restricted content, interfering with other members' access, or disrupting the community.
15.4 Moderation. Bargain Club Shop may moderate, remove content, restrict channels, revoke Discord roles, mute users, suspend community access, or ban users from community spaces at its discretion.

17.4 Duty to Report Errors. You must promptly report bugs, exploits, mistaken access, mistaken codes, pricing errors, or claim errors rather than exploiting them.
18. Account Suspension and Termination
18.1 Suspension or Termination Rights. Bargain Club Shop may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, chargebacks, abuse, risk signals, legal compliance, excessive returns, payment issues, or operational necessity.
18.2 Community Conduct. A Discord restriction or ban does not automatically terminate your website membership. However, conduct in a community space may still be considered when determining whether you violated these Terms, committed fraud, threatened users, abused the platform, or created legal or safety risk.
18.3 Cancellation of Pending Rights. Bargain Club Shop may cancel pending claims, orders, codes, queue positions, access rights, or membership features associated with suspended or terminated accounts.
18.4 Survival. Termination does not eliminate obligations that arose before termination, including payment obligations, dispute-resolution obligations, intellectual-property restrictions, limitation-of-liability provisions, indemnity obligations, and other provisions that by their nature should survive.

Formal proceedings may not begin until the 30-day informal-resolution period has ended, unless emergency relief is required or applicable law provides otherwise.
26. Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, Small Claims, and Mass Arbitration
26.1 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
26.2 Arbitration Agreement. Except for claims that qualify for small claims court or Justice of the Peace Court, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, the service, membership, drops, codes, purchases, products, community access, or your relationship with Bargain Club Shop will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable consumer arbitration rules, unless another arbitration provider or process is required by applicable law.
26.3 Fees and Costs. Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys' fees and costs, except where these Terms, AAA rules, an arbitrator, or applicable law require otherwise.
26.4 Class and Representative Action Waiver. You and Bargain Club Shop waive the right to bring or participate in any class action, class arbitration, collective action, consolidated action, private attorney general action, or representative proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law.
26.5 Small Claims and Delaware Justice of the Peace Court. Claims that qualify for small claims court or Delaware Justice of the Peace Court may be brought individually in the Justice of the Peace Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, instead of arbitration.
26.6 Court Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims. For any claim that is not subject to arbitration and is not required to be brought elsewhere, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue will be in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, with preference for the appropriate court in New Castle County where jurisdiction exists.
26.7 Mass Arbitration Procedure. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Bargain Club Shop by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, organization, coordinated claim administrator, or substantially coordinated representatives, the demands will be treated as a mass arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law and by the applicable arbitration provider's rules.
26.8 Bellwether Process. In a mass arbitration, the parties agree to use a staged bellwether process unless the arbitration provider requires a different process. The first stage will proceed with up to 10 individual arbitrations selected by the claimants and up to 10 individual arbitrations selected by Bargain Club Shop. All other similar demands will be stayed during the first-stage bellwether proceedings, subject to any contrary requirement imposed by the arbitration provider or applicable law.
26.9 Mediation After Bellwether Proceedings. After the first-stage bellwether proceedings are completed, the parties agree to participate in a good-faith mediation or settlement conference before the remaining demands proceed. If the parties do not resolve the remaining demands, the remaining claims will proceed in staged batches as ordered by the arbitrator, arbitration provider, or court with jurisdiction over arbitration administration issues.
26.10 Individual Claims Only. Nothing in the mass-arbitration procedure authorizes class arbitration, collective arbitration, representative arbitration, or consolidated merits proceedings. Each claimant's claim must be resolved individually unless Bargain Club Shop agrees otherwise in writing.
27. Changes to the Service
