# NaviACO Terms of Service

***

### 2. User Agreement

* Please review the following carefully. If you do not accept these terms, do not sign up for the service. If you choose to sign up for the services, you will be agreeing to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this agreement. Furthermore, you are solely responsible for your use of the service and for ensuring your use fully complies with the provisions of this agreement.
* Your purchase of the service constitutes your explicit agreement that your purchase is for a non-tangible, electronically provided service. By using our Automated Checkout (ACO) service you allow us to use your information to checkout the item provided. The only fee and cost of using our service will be the PAS (Pay After Success).
* n9vi (formally known as NAVI#0001) is not responsible for any unwanted or unauthorized charges. Sensitive profile inputs (e.g., payment credentials, retailer account credentials) are removed from active checkout systems after you request to stop being run or after service completion, except where retention is required for billing, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or legal/compliance purposes as described in Section 7.6.
* By providing your information for said Automated Checkout (ACO) service, you agree to these rules. Breaking the rules will result in a permanent ban from this service.
* By submitting your information and requesting services, you authorize NaviACO to securely store your Payment Method on File and charge it for any unpaid balances related to completed services. If payment is not received within 48 hours of the time the Invoice Reminder is sent, you agree that the stored Payment Method on File may be charged automatically for the total amount due. Billing disputes relating to PAS amounts should be raised prior to service delivery when possible; otherwise within 7 days as described in Section 18.1.

***

### 3. Eligibility & Authorized Use

By using NaviACO services, you represent and warrant that:

* You are at least 18 years of age, or you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use this service and enter into this agreement.
* You have the legal authority to use any payment method you submit to NaviACO. You must only submit payment methods that you own or are expressly authorized to use.
* You have the legal authority to access and use any retailer accounts you submit to NaviACO. You must only submit retailer account credentials for accounts that you own or are expressly authorized to use.
* All information you provide to NaviACO is accurate, complete, and not misleading.
* You are not submitting accounts or payment methods that are banned, limited, flagged, or otherwise restricted by any retailer.
* **You are responsible for ensuring your use of NaviACO and your retailer accounts complies with each retailer's terms of service and all applicable laws.** NaviACO is not responsible for any consequences arising from your violation of retailer terms or applicable law.

Submitting payment methods or retailer accounts that you do not own or are not authorized to use is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination and referral to appropriate authorities.

***

### 4. Consent to Automated Checkout Services

#### 4.1 Form Submission & Authorization

**By submitting any NaviACO sign-up form, profile form, or providing your personal information through any NaviACO intake method, you expressly consent to and authorize the following:**

* **Automated Purchasing:** You authorize NaviACO to use your submitted information—including but not limited to retailer account credentials, payment card information, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address—to execute automated purchases on your behalf using third-party automation software, bots, and checkout tools.
* **Software & Bot Usage:** You understand and agree that NaviACO utilizes automated software, scripts, and bot technologies to perform checkout operations. You consent to your personal and payment information being processed through these automated systems for the purpose of completing purchases at Supported Retailers.
* **Retailer Account Access:** You authorize NaviACO to access, log into, and perform actions on your retailer accounts using the credentials you provide. This includes adding items to cart, applying payment methods, and completing checkout transactions.
* **Third-Party Tool Integration:** You acknowledge that NaviACO may utilize various third-party automation tools and software to deliver services, and you consent to your information being processed through such tools solely for the purpose of executing checkouts on your behalf.
* **Data Conversion:** You acknowledge that information submitted through sign-up forms is collected, processed, and converted into data formats compatible with automation software and bots for the purpose of executing checkout services.

#### 4.2 Payment Method Authorization

**By submitting payment card information to NaviACO, you expressly authorize the following:**

* **Dual-Purpose Authorization:** You understand and agree that payment card information you submit serves two purposes: (1) to complete automated purchases at retailers on your behalf, and (2) to collect PAS fees and unpaid invoice balances owed to NaviACO.
* **Checkout Transactions:** NaviACO is authorized to use your submitted Payment Method(s) on File to complete purchases at retailers on your behalf as part of the automated checkout service.
* **PAS Fee Collection:** Any Payment Method on File submitted to NaviACO—whether submitted for checkout purposes or otherwise—may be charged to collect Pay After Success (PAS) fees for completed checkouts.
* **Unpaid Invoice Collection:** You authorize NaviACO to charge any Payment Method on File to collect payment for unpaid invoices. If an invoice remains unpaid after 48 hours from the time the Invoice Reminder is sent, you agree that NaviACO may charge any Payment Method on File for the total outstanding balance without further notice.
* **Multiple Payment Methods:** If you have submitted multiple Payment Methods on File to NaviACO, you authorize NaviACO to charge any or all of these methods to satisfy outstanding balances owed.
* **Continued Authorization:** This payment authorization remains in effect until all outstanding balances are paid in full and you have formally requested removal of your payment information from our systems, subject to any pending transactions or invoices.

***

### 5. Pay After Success (PAS)

* NaviACO assesses service fees based on a Pay-After-Success (PAS) system. This fee is only charged once a Successful Checkout is confirmed. PAS fees may vary by product, retailer, or drop and are disclosed at the time of signup or on the invoice.
* **Cancellations:** If an order is cancelled by the retailer prior to shipment, and you provide proof of cancellation, the PAS fee will be waived. Customer-initiated modifications (such as address changes, item substitutions, or quantity adjustments) do not constitute cancellations and do not waive PAS fees. Acceptable proof may include a retailer cancellation email, order status page showing cancellation, or other documentation reasonably requested by NaviACO. Proof can be submitted via screenshot sent to staff in our Discord or direct messaged to n9vi on Discord.
* If a Successful Checkout is confirmed, you will be contacted within 24 hours and an Invoice Reminder will be sent. PAS must be paid within 48 hours of the time the Invoice Reminder is sent. Failure to do so within this time frame will result in a permanent ban from our services as well as the missed fee amount charged to your Payment Method on File.
* Please note that once an order ships from the retailer, liability for the order from that point on will be between the recipient and the retailer. The PAS fee will not be refunded once an order is shipped due to issues between the retailer and the recipient.

#### 5.1 Refund Policy

**PAS fees are non-refundable once an order has shipped from the retailer.** No refunds, credits, or adjustments will be issued for PAS fees after shipment confirmation, regardless of any subsequent issues between you and the retailer (including but not limited to: delivery issues, damaged items, returns, or retailer-initiated refunds). Your sole recourse for post-shipment issues is directly with the retailer.

#### 5.2 PAS Pricing Discretion & Market Adjustments

PAS fees are dynamic and may change at any time based on market conditions, product demand, retailer behavior, checkout difficulty, operational costs, or risk factors. NaviACO reserves the sole discretion to determine when a change in market conditions warrants an adjustment to PAS pricing.

PAS pricing is not guaranteed to remain consistent across different drops, restocks, time periods, or products. Prior PAS rates do not establish precedent or guarantee future pricing.

The applicable PAS fee for any Successful Checkout is the rate disclosed at the time the Invoice is issued or otherwise communicated for that checkout.

***

### 6. Liability

* NaviACO is not liable for information submitted to our services being banned, limited, or flagged from any retailer we run on. We take reasonable measures to help prevent this.
* If you submit information to our service knowing the account/information was banned, limited, or flagged, you may be subject to fees from NaviACO for the waste in resources/time, as submitting such information will likely lead to cancellation of orders.
* **FOR SCHEDULED RELEASES:** Once you submit a profile, you are allowed to opt-out from the release up to one hour before the scheduled drop time. Once the release falls within the hour, we are unable to cancel your service and you may be subject to PAS fees if we achieve a Successful Checkout. **Opt-Out Requests must be submitted via the `/aco profiles` bot command or an official support ticket to be recognized.**
* **FOR RANDOM RESTOCKS:** Once you submit a profile, you are allowed to opt-out at any time before the agreed upon quantity is checked out. Your Opt-Out Request will be processed within 24 hours of submission. Any Successful Checkouts that occur within this processing window will still require PAS payment. **Opt-Out Requests must be submitted via the `/aco profiles` bot command or an official support ticket to be recognized.**
* In the unlikely event that NaviACO checks out the wrong item or size, NaviACO is not liable and will not assess a PAS fee for the inconvenience. NaviACO may attempt to assist with cancellation in such cases, but cannot guarantee retailer cancellation success.
* **AUTOMATION DISCLAIMER:** You acknowledge that automated checkout services carry inherent risks, including but not limited to: retailer account restrictions, order cancellations, payment declines, and website/policy changes. NaviACO is not liable for any adverse consequences resulting from the use of automated checkout tools on your accounts.
* **NO GUARANTEE:** NaviACO does not guarantee successful checkouts, delivery times, order acceptance by retailers, or availability of products. All services are provided on a "best efforts" basis.
* **AS IS / AS AVAILABLE:** Except as expressly stated in these Terms, services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

#### 6.1 Limitation of Liability

**TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:**

* NaviACO shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the service, including but not limited to: loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill.
* NaviACO's total aggregate liability for any claims arising from these Terms or the service shall not exceed the total amount of PAS fees you have paid to NaviACO in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
* NaviACO shall not be liable for damages arising from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data, unless caused by NaviACO's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

#### 6.2 Data Security Limitation

NaviACO implements reasonable security measures to protect your data, including access controls limiting data to authorized personnel only. However, NaviACO shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from unauthorized access, data breaches, or security incidents affecting third-party platforms (including but not limited to Discord, retailers, or service providers) unless such breach is caused directly by NaviACO's gross negligence. You acknowledge that no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

#### 6.3 Force Majeure

NaviACO shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond NaviACO's reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, pandemic, internet or telecommunications failures, Discord outages, retailer website changes or outages, CAPTCHA implementations, anti-bot measures, payment processor outages, power failures, or third-party software failures.
