Terms of Sale Agreement

ecoATM, LLC (doing business as Gazelle), and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates ("Gazelle," "we," or "us") offers services (the "Gazelle Services") through which you can (i) sell certain consumer electronic products (the "Products") after receiving an "offer" from Gazelle by identifying your Product and its condition and completing check-out on the Gazelle Websites (each transaction, a "Trade-In") and (ii) buy Products (each sale, a "Purchase"). You must agree to abide by the following terms in order to use the Gazelle Services and/or the Gazelle Websites.

BY SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT, OR BY USING GAZELLE'S WEB SITES, YOU SIGNIFY THAT YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHICH MAY BE AMENDED AT ANY TIME BY POSTING THE AMENDED TERMS ON THE GAZELLE WEBSITES. ANY AMENDED TERMS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY ARE POSTED. Gazelle reserves the right to terminate or suspend your use of the Gazelle Websites and/or the Gazelle Services if you do not comply with this Agreement or any other Gazelle policy or procedure, or for any other reason we determine, in our sole discretion.

  1. About These Terms. These terms govern (i) any offer that you receive to sell your Product to or through Gazelle's Website and (ii) any Product you purchase from Gazelle's Website. These terms, the terms that govern your use of Gazelle's websites, including Gazelle.com and buy.gazelle.com ("Gazelle Websites"), the Gazelle Services and any and all applications included therein, which terms are located at www.gazelle.com/legal, and any supplemental terms or policies that accompany a specific transaction, feature or application, collectively, make up an agreement between you and Gazelle (the "Agreement"). You acknowledge that this Agreement is in electronic form and has the same force and effect as an agreement in writing. In this Agreement, the term "you" or "your" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this Agreement.
  2. Requirements for Trade-In and Purchase. In order to complete a Trade-In or Purchase or to complete any other transaction with Gazelle, you must: (i) Create an account with us (Trade-In transaction only); (ii) Provide true, up to date and accurate account information about yourself and any Product you submit to us or Purchase from us; (iii) Comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iv) Comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including all import and export laws as described in Section 15 below; (v) Transact on behalf of yourself and not on behalf of others; and (vi) Be over eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into agreements and to convey title and interest in any Product that you submit to us.  

    In order to receive payments for any Products in connection with a Trade-In, you must provide us with information including a valid email address at which you are able to receive email, a valid postal address at which you are able to receive mail, and your first and last name. In order to receive any Product you Purchase, you must provide us with information including first and last name, email address at which you receive email, phone number, billing address, and a valid postal address at which you are able to receive mail (if different from the billing address). On Gazelle's behalf, PayPal will process your payment for a Purchase and you are required to provide your applicable credit card number, expiration date and CVV code (unless you are paying for the Purchase using your PayPal account). Gazelle will not receive or store your credit card information.  

    Gazelle shall not be responsible for communication errors should your contact information be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for ensuring that you can receive emails from Gazelle and Gazelle is not responsible for any emails that were not received by you because they were blocked or filtered as spam. You understand and agree that if you fail to provide us with accurate and up to date information about yourself: (a) we will not be responsible for any misapplied Trade-In payments or Trade-In payments sent to a wrong address, and (b) any unclaimed funds may be subject to collection by governmental authorities under applicable unclaimed funds and escheat laws. You agree that we have no obligation to you if any of your unclaimed funds are turned over to governmental authorities in accordance with applicable law. 

    The following terms also apply to any Purchase transaction:
    • Credit Card – Your credit card will be charged by Gazelle when your order is placed, unless you choose to pay with your PayPal account.
    • Sales Tax – State Sales Tax will apply to all items shipped to Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Washington or any other jurisdiction in which we are legally obligated to collect sales tax.
    • Shipping - Shipping is not free. Gazelle provides fixed, leveled prices associated with ground, expedited, and next day shipping. Shipping is provided by either FedEx or UPS.
    • Returns - Gazelle offers a 30-day domestic return policy which commences on the delivery date, as reported by the shipping carrier. In the event of a return, Gazelle will refund the full amount of the item(s) being returned. If free return shipping applies to a purchase, it is only valid within the 50 United States based on the original delivery address and is provided via FedEx. The cost of any return without an RMA and without using the supplied FedEx label is your responsibility.
    • Consumables - Consumables such as batteries have a limited lifespan and may not function in a like-new manner. Please be aware that some devices require service, carrier service contracts and/or data plans in order for the Product to be fully functional. These services and plans are not included in the purchase price and are not provided by Gazelle unless and until separately offered and purchased.
    • Product Pricing - Gazelle regularly adjusts prices based on a variety of factors, including market conditions and individual Product condition, and therefore does not price match other Product sellers and does not provide price adjustments once a payment is complete. Prices for the same or similar Products may vary between the Gazelle Websites and third-party marketplaces like eBay or Amazon.
    • Product Availability – Products are not guaranteed to be available until the order for Purchase is accepted by Gazelle and confirmed on the applicable Gazelle Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gazelle reserves the right to cancel any order for Purchase at any time prior to delivery of the Product for any reason.
    • Maximum Product Quantity – Gazelle does not permit more than three (3) Product purchases per transaction. If you are interested in purchasing a greater quantity, please contact Customer Care.
    • Partial Order Fulfillment – If an order can only be partially filled, all available Products will ship and Gazelle will reimburse the different to the original method of payment.
    • Technical Support – Gazelle does not provide any technical or other support in connection with any Product offered for sale. You are responsible for all Product use and set up.
  3. Product Eligibility. Gazelle determines, in its sole discretion, which Products are eligible for purchase or sale by or through the Gazelle Services and Gazelle Websites and for which eligible Products Gazelle will provide an offer or sell. Gazelle may terminate the eligibility of certain Products at any time and without advanced notice, but such termination will not affect any Products for which you have already accepted an offer, which is good for thirty (30) days, except as set forth in Section 9 below. Gazelle reserves the right to cancel any Purchase and refund any applicable purchase price actually received by Gazelle at any time prior to delivery of the Product to You.
  4. Condition Defined for Trade-In and Purchase. Gazelle uses three (3) basic Product conditions to grade Products for Trade-In, ranging from "Flawless" or "No Noticeable Flaws" to "Broken" or "Functional or physical problems." Conditions can vary widely between categories and types of Products. Broadly, Gazelle's Product definitions are as follows: Flawless or No Noticeable flaws: the item looks like it has never been used and is 100% functional. Good or Normal wear and tear: the item has visible signs of use, but is otherwise 100% functional. Broken or Functional or physical problems: the item does not turn on, one or more Product functions is non-operative or the item has serious physical damage that inhibits use (e.g. broken or cracked screen or missing parts). The above definitions are broad guidelines. More specific condition definitions specific to the category and/ or type of Product may be included on the Gazelle Website offer screen and serve as the effective condition definition for that product. Condition definitions are subject to change at Gazelle's discretion. If you are uncertain about your Product's condition, please seek guidance by contacting Gazelle's customer care. 

    Gazelle offers three (3) product conditions for purchase: (i) "Gazelle Certified Fair", which means all product features work (except for those requiring carrier service or data plans, which must be purchased separately if so desired) and the device may feature some wear and tear that does not affect the functionality of the phone; (ii) "Gazelle Certified Good", which means all Product features work (as noted above) and there may be light scuffs or nicks that do not affect the functionality of the phone; (iii) and "Gazelle Certified Excellent", which means the device is in like-new condition.

    All products available for purchase are, where applicable, eligible for activation on the carrier network identified for that particular device. It is important to select your specific carrier when purchasing a Gazelle certified preowned device, as we can only guarantee it to work with the selected carrier. For example, we can only guarantee that a Gazelle certified AT&T device can be activated on AT&T; we cannot guarantee that it can be activated on any other carrier and we cannot guarantee that it can be unlocked.

    We can also only guarantee that your Gazelle certified preowned device will work domestically within the United States. We cannot guarantee that it will work internationally.
  5. Product Valuation. All offers will be based on Gazelle's own determination of the Product value in reliance on the accuracy of the information you supply us. Gazelle will use its discretion to determine the Product value, weighing factors that may include the Product's model, functionality and condition and whether necessary Product accessories have been provided by you. Upon receiving an offer, you have the option of accepting or rejecting that offer. Acceptance indicates you are willing to provide your Product to Gazelle at the offered price. If you do not accept Gazelle's offer, the specific transaction expires. If after rejecting the offer you change your mind and want to accept the offer, you will need to open another transaction with us at which point, assuming the Product is still eligible for purchase, the new offer may be different as Product prices are subject to change.
  6. Fitness for Sale; Phone and Internet Service. You must have all right, title, and interest in any and all Products you seek to sell to Gazelle and all Products must be able to be activated for new service (unless the Product is incapable of being activated because it is in "Broken" condition). The Products and the sale and shipment of such items to Gazelle: (a) must comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, including without limitation all import and export laws as described in Section 14 below, (b) may not infringe on third party intellectual property rights (including copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights), and (c) shall not be counterfeit, stolen, or fraudulent. You represent and warrant that the Products are free of any liens or encumbrances, including third-party software which may not be transferred or for which royalties are due. By using the Gazelle Services, you agree to indemnify Gazelle from all claims or losses sustained by Gazelle as a result of any breach of your representations and warranties. It is your responsibility to discontinue phone, Internet and/or any similar service on your Product prior to selling it to Gazelle. Gazelle is not responsible for any service charges related to your Product, whether you incur such charges before, during or after your use of the Services. It is also your responsibility to remove any security codes that would prevent use of any Product.
  7. Sending Gazelle Your Product for Trade-In or Return. When packaging your Product, be sure to include all materials included in your description when we calculated your offer for Trade-In, or, in the case of Purchase, include all materials provided by Gazelle in the package you received. For Trade-In, this may include software, accessories, adapters, and manuals. Failure to include any items you told us about when the offer was calculated, or sending us a Product which does not match your original description, may impact the final value of your Product and may result in a revised offer.
  8. Removing Data From Your Product. For Products involving devices that store files and/or personal data on hard drives, memory chips or the like, you must back up and store any data you wish to keep from your Product and remove any personal information from the Product before you send your Product to us for Trade-In. Likewise for Products you Purchase from Gazelle and returned to Gazelle in accordance with these Terms, you agree to remove any such data from the Product prior to returning the Product to Gazelle. Gazelle's standard practice is to remove all such data from the Product; however, Gazelle makes no guarantee that it will do so. By sending Gazelle the Product, you agree to release us from any claim as to the Product, the data stored in such Product, or any information on any media used in conjunction with the Product and which you send to Gazelle (whether in connection with a Trade-In or a Purchase), or for such data's security, integrity, confidentiality, disclosure or use. Gazelle is not responsible for: (a) any loss suffered by you due to any data that is not erased from the device and transferred to a third party, or (b) any loss of data after you submitted the Product to us.
  9. Product Inspection; Offer Recalculation. Your Trade-in Product must be received by Gazelle within thirty (30) days after you accept the original offer provided by Gazelle and complete the check- out process on the Gazelle Website (the "Delivery Period") or the offer shall automatically expire. Packing and shipping recommendations provided to you by Gazelle should be followed in order to avoid possible damage to or loss of the Product in transit. Gazelle will inspect all Products that are received. Gazelle has the option to accept or reject the Product, including without limitation, to reject any Product not conforming to the description you provided to us, any Product modified in such a way that it no longer conforms to the original factory specifications, any Product no longer complying with applicable laws or regulations (e.g., FCC rules, etc.) and/or any Product damaged or lost in transit. If Gazelle rejects the Product for any of these reasons, the original offer automatically expires and is rescinded. Gazelle reserves the right to revoke the original offer and provide a revised offer for the Product if: (a) the Product and/or materials are not as described, (b) the Product is received by Gazelle after the Delivery Period, and/or (c) Gazelle receives Product(s) that are different from those identified when your offer was calculated. As described above, Gazelle typically honors the offer price you receive for your Product on the Site for a period of thirty (30 days); sometimes for a longer period of time in connection with a temporary extended price-lock offer (each a "Price-Lock Offer"). Notwithstanding any Price-Lock Offer, Gazelle always reserves the right to recalculate the original offer price and provide a revised offer for the Product if, during the Price-Lock Offer period, the market price for your Product has declined by more than thirty percent. Gazelle shall determine the market price during such applicable period and whether there has been any such decline in its sole discretion. If you elect not to accept the recalculated offer price, your Product will be returned to you.
  10. Recalculated Product Offers after Inspection. In the event Gazelle recalculates the offer it provided for the Product after it has been received and inspected for Trade-In, as described above, you shall have the option of accepting or rejecting the new offer. If you accept the new offer, you will be paid in normal course and in accordance with these service terms. If you reject the new offer, Gazelle will return the Product to you at the address from which it was originally sent. Gazelle will give you a period of five (5) days after Gazelle presents you with a recalculated offer via email at the address you provided to accept or reject the new offer (the "New Offer Period"). Gazelle will also remind you of the outstanding new offer one or more times during the New Offer Period. However, if the new offer is neither affirmatively accepted nor rejected by you during the New Offer Period, the new offer will be deemed to have been accepted by you and you will be paid the new offer price in the normal course and in accordance with these service terms. For the avoidance of doubt, your acceptance of the original offer and/or any new offer is final and you may not change your mind later about accepting such offer.
  11. Releasing Rights to Product. Once you send Gazelle your Product for Trade-In, Gazelle cannot and does not guarantee that it will be able to honor any request for return of the Product and/or any data or information contained in such Product. Of course, if Gazelle rejects the Product or you do not accept any new offer for the Product pursuant to Sections 9 and 10 ("Return Circumstances"), your Product will be returned to you as set forth in Sections 9 and 10.
  12. Risk-Of-Loss. You remain responsible for the risk-of-loss for the Products sent to Gazelle for Trade-In until delivery of the same to Gazelle. You are responsible for any damages that may occur to your Product while in transit. Gazelle is responsible for risk-of-loss when it opens the packaging containing your Product and ceases in the event Gazelle returns your product to you for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, in such event, risk of loss will be transferred to you once Gazelle delivers the package to the carrier for return to you and you will bear the risk-of-loss while the Product is in transit. 

    If you return a Product to Gazelle that you Purchased, you are responsible for the risk-of-loss for the Product until Gazelle receives the Product. You are responsible for any damages that may occur to the Product while in transit back to Gazelle.
  13. Passing of Title. Title to the applicable Product sent to Gazelle for Trade-In passes to Gazelle upon Gazelle's acceptance of the Product for the original offer or the new offer, as applicable. If there is a Return Circumstance, title shall not pass and shall remain with you.
  14. Non-Transferable. Any offer by Gazelle for your Product for Trade-In is non- transferable and not redeemable for any other consideration other than what is offered by Gazelle.
  15. Import and Export Laws. You agree to comply fully with all import and export laws, regulations, rules and orders of the United States, or any foreign government agency or authority, and that you will not directly or indirectly transfer any Product without proper authorization from the U.S. and/or foreign government. You bear responsibility for and assume all expenses relating to your compliance with the described laws, regulations, rules and orders, and for obtaining all necessary authorizations and clearances in order to convey any Product to Gazelle in connection with a Trade-In, including without limitation, valuation, classification and duties applicable with the import of any goods. Please note: U.S. trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) generally prohibit the importation into the United States (including U.S. territories), either directly or indirectly, of most goods, technology, or services (except information and informational materials) from, or which originated from Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Serbia, or Sudan; from foreign persons designated by the Secretary of State as having promoted the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; named Foreign Terrorist Organizations; designated terrorists and narcotics traffickers. You may not offer or provide to Gazelle for sale, any Products that would violate the provisions of this Section 15.
  16. Promotions. From time to time, and at Gazelle's sole discretion, Gazelle may offer promotional programs as an incentive to customers. Promotions applicable to payments are applied as an increment to the final value of a customer's Product, but they are not considered a change in that final value. Promotional programs have explicitly defined terms, including but not limited to, expiration, usage per person and per transaction, and other limitations and restrictions. Unless otherwise stated, promotions must be applied by you before checkout. For the avoidance of doubt, once checkout is completed, promotions cannot be applied to the same transaction. Gazelle reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or refuse promotions.
  17. Accuracy of all Information. Gazelle makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all information you receive in relation to your Product. From time to time, however, there may be typographical errors, technical inaccuracies, pricing or other errors or omissions. As such, Gazelle reserves the right, at any time prior to payment, to:(a) Correct an error. (b) Change the offer or cancel the Purchase prior to your receipt of the Product. In the event the Product has already been sent to Gazelle for Trade-In, the changed offer will become a New Offer subject to the processes set forth in Section 9 and Section 10. Otherwise, the changed offer will be a re-issued original offer, which you may accept or reject. (c) Void a transaction. If the Product was already sent to Gazelle, Gazelle will be deemed to have rejected the Product resulting in a Return Circumstance subject to Section 11.
  18. Privacy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.
  19. Electronic Notices and Transactions. You agree to transact with us electronically, including without limitation, agreeing to terms and conditions or offering to sell your Product by electronic means. You authorize Gazelle to provide you with terms and important notices about Gazelle and your transactions to an email address you provide to us or by posting notices on an applicable page (or my account area) on www.gazelle.com. It is your duty to keep your email address accurate and up to date and to maintain a valid email address and to ensure that emails we send you are not filtered or stopped by spam filters or other types of email blocking functionalities. If you no longer desire to transact electronically with us, you may no longer use the Gazelle Websites. You can retrieve and review this Agreement by clicking on the "Legal" link at www.gazelle.com.

  22. No Warranties. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE PROVIDE THE GAZELLE SERVICES AND WEBSITES "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND THE IMPLIED CONDITIONS OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS THAT YOUR TRANSACTIONS WITH GAZELLE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
  23. Limited Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GAZELLE OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS OR CONTRACTORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "GAZELLE PARTIES") BE LIABLE FOR ANY COMPENSATORY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, INCOME OR PROFIT, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, OR ANY CLAIMS OF YOU OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO YOUR TRANSACTIONS WITH GAZELLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF GAZELLE AND THE GAZELLE PARTIES (JOINTLY) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE GAZELLE SERVICES AND GAZELLE WEBSITES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US OR (II) $100. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL, MALICIOUS OR RECKLESS MISCONDUCT, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PRODUCTS YOU PURCHASE THROUGH THE GAZELLE SERVICES.
  24. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gazelle and the Gazelle Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from your violation or breach of any terms under this Agreement. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.
  25. Entire Agreement/No Waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The captions are used only as a matter of convenience and are not to be considered a part of this agreement or be used in determining the intent of the parties to it. No waiver by Gazelle of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Sections 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 19 and 22 through 28 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
  26. Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies.

Gazelle therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update the Content at any time without prior notice. Gazelle does not, however, guarantee that any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions will be corrected.

Gazelle Privacy Policy

The Gazelle Privacy Policy explains how personal information about you is collected, used and disclosed by ecoATM, LLC (doing business as Gazelle) ("Gazelle", "we" or "us") when you access and use Gazelle's websites, applications and services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other kiosks, websites or other online or mobile services or applications of ecoATM, LLC or its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Personal Information Collection

Information You Provide to Us.

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, when you transact with us (e.g., offer to sell, donate, ship, or purchase a device) or register to open an account with Gazelle, we ask for information about yourself, such as your name, email address, and zip code, which we collect and use as disclosed in this Privacy Policy. We may also collect additional information directly from you when you engage in certain activities on the Services, such as: (a) when you sign up for special offers; (b) when you contact us for help or customer support; (c) when you complete a survey; (d) when you post content or provide us with feedback; or (e) when you enter promotions or sweepstakes.

Providing information is purely optional on your part; however, not all features and services (such as, responding to your inquiries) would be available to you if you elect not to provide information. If you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information by us.

Information We Collect Automatically.

We automatically collect information about you when you use our Services. For example, we may collect:

Information We Derive. We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your location based on your IP address.

Use of Personal Information

We primarily will use your personal information to provide the Services to you. We also use your personal information to: (a) send you marketing messages and to customize, measure, and analyze the advertising and content you see; (b) fulfill any transactions, including your requests for products and services; (c) improve our Services and offerings to you; (d) conduct research (for example, we may contact you for feedback about our products); (e) provide you with support; (f) provide you with updates and notices about the Services, our Privacy Policy and terms and conditions; (g) communicate with you regarding the Services; (h) provide you with offers from us, our affiliates and from third parties that may be of interest to you; (i) facilitate contests, sweepstakes, and promotions and process and deliver entries and rewards; (j) investigate fraud and for security purposes, and where necessary to protect ourselves and third parties; (k) comply with our legal and regulatory obligations; (l) diagnose problems with our servers and software; and (m) with your consent or at your direction.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use various technologies to collect information, and this may include placing cookies on your computer. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer and stored on your hard drive when you visit a website; many major Web services use them to provide useful features for their users. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however if you reject cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the Services or take full advantage of our Services. Gazelle uses cookies for the following general purposes: (a) to provide you with your personalized content; (b) to display the most appropriate advertisements, based on your interests and activity on our web site; and (c) and to help us analyze and estimate our traffic and use of features on the Services.

We may also use "pixel tags," which are small graphic files that can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer. We may use pixel tags, either provided by us or by our third party advertisers and ad networks, to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with our sites and Services and use them in combination with our cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you.

We also may allow certain analytic services and providers of applications used on the Services (e.g. sharing buttons) to collect information by placing cookies on the Services that will track certain performance of our Services, such as, web traffic, click-throughs, etc., in order to assist us and our service providers in better understanding the interests of our users and to better serve those interests.

Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

We may use other companies under agreements with us to serve advertisements on our behalf and to provide analytics services. These companies may collect and use information about your visits to the Services and other Web sites (including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information) in order to, among other things, provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you and to better understand your online activities. These companies typically use a cookie, a third party web beacon and/or pixel tags to collect this information. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice in general and the options that you have, including your option or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you can visit www.aboutads.info/choices.

We may also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of a customized campaign on third-party platforms (such as Facebook or Instagram). As part of these ad campaigns, we or third-party platforms may convert information about you, such as your email address and phone number, into a unique value that can be matched with a user account on these platforms to allow us to learn about your interests and to serve you advertising that is customized to your interests. Note that the third-party platforms may offer you choices about whether you see these types of customized ads.

Personal Information Sharing and Disclosure

Gazelle does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

  • To vendors, service providers, and consultants who work on behalf of Gazelle and perform services for us under confidentiality agreements, including payment processing, assisting with promotions, and providing technical services;

  • In response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;

  • When we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Gazelle's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law; and

  • We may transfer information about you if Gazelle is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Gazelle will post a notice on its website before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used by third parties to identify you.

Links to Third Party Sites

The sites displayed as search results or linked to by the Services are developed by people over whom Gazelle exercises no control. These other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information. Gazelle may present links in a format that enables us to understand whether they have been followed. We use this information to understand and improve the quality of Gazelle's search technology. For instance, this data helps us determine how often users are satisfied with the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later results.

Social Media Plug-ins

Social media plug-ins of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Windows and Google plus (among others) are integrated on Gazelle's website. Where Gazelle sites contain a plug-in to a social network, these are clearly marked (e.g. with a Facebook button). If you chose to click on one of these buttons or links, your browser connects directly to the servers of the relevant social network. The social network directly transmits the content of the plugin to your browser. If you are registered on the relevant social network and logged into your respective account the social network receives the information that the web page was used by you. If you interact with a social network plug-in (e.g. you press the Facebook "Like" feature, the Twitter "Tweet this" feature and Google plus "1+" button or equivalent) or drop a comment on the appropriate web page, the corresponding information is directly transmitted to the relevant social network from your browser. If you are not registered with the social network or you are logged out before you visit Gazelle's website, there is the possibility that at least your IP address will be submitted to and stored by the social network. If you interact with us through a social media platform, plug-in etc. then you may be permitting us to have on-going access to some limited information from your social network profile (such as name, email address, photo, gender, location, the people/sites you follow etc.). If you do not want the social network to collect the information about you described above, or to share it with Gazelle and other third parties, please review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and/or log out of the relevant social network before you visit Gazelle's site. As with other sites, you may be able delete any existing cookies placed on your computer by the social network via your browser.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

Registered users can edit their Gazelle account information, including contact preferences, at any time from their "My Account" account management page which you can find at www.gazelle.com/account/login. We may, from time to time, send you e-mails regarding our products and services and third party products and services that may be of interest to you. You will have the opportunity to opt out of any further mailings at any time; provided, however, that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the Services, such as (a) communications related to fulfilling a transaction, (b) service announcements, (c) notices regarding Gazelle's legal terms and this Privacy Policy; and (d) administrative messages, which are considered part of your Gazelle account. You will not have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such notices. You can delete your Gazelle registered account by requesting an account deletion via email to support@gazelle.com. You must provide us with the email address of the registered account. After we have confirmed your request via email, we will remove access to your personal information from our user database.

Confidentiality and Security

We limit access to personal information about you to our employees and agents who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use many tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.

Third Parties

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Gazelle does not own or control or to people that Gazelle does not employ or manage. The Services may include applications, content and/or ads from third parties that may perform user activity tracking in addition to that described herein; Gazelle accepts no responsibility for said activities. Gazelle does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others. For more information about each such third party, please refer to the third party's privacy policy.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. In addition, we will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your Gazelle account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
