Avoylo Terms of Service
Version: 0.1 Last Updated: September 28, 2026 Effective Date: [TBD BEFORE PUBLICATION]
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Avoylo's websites, applications, APIs, operational systems, marketplaces, logistics coordination tools, billing features, Host tools, Seller tools, support services, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
These Terms form a binding agreement between the person or organization using the Services ("you") and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME TBD], doing business as Avoylo ("Avoylo," "we," "us," or "our").
If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
1. Avoylo Service Model
Avoylo provides technology and operational infrastructure that connects eligible Sellers with eligible local Hosts for storage and fulfillment of prepacked, sealed Parcels.
The initial operating model may include:
- Seller inventory submission;
- Host matching;
- Placement creation;
- inbound coordination;
- Parcel receipt;
- storage records;
- order allocation;
- Host fulfillment tasks;
- QR verification;
- shipping-label coordination;
- staging evidence;
- carrier integrations;
- billing;
- Host earnings accounting;
- incident and claims workflows;
- support; and
- related functionality.
Unless Avoylo expressly states otherwise for a specific service, Avoylo is not the carrier transporting a Parcel.
2. Incorporated Policies and Agreements
These Terms incorporate by reference the policies and agreements that apply to your role or activity, including where applicable:
- Avoylo Operations Policy;
- Seller Services Policy;
- Host Services Policy;
- Prohibited & Restricted Items Policy;

- Shipping & Carrier Policy;
- Seller Packing & Inbound Standards;
- Host Storage & Safety Standards;
- Privacy Policy;
- Seller Services Agreement;
- Host Services Agreement; and
- other service-specific terms expressly presented to you.
Where a service-specific agreement expressly conflicts with these general Terms, the more specific agreement controls for that subject.
3. Eligibility
To create or control an Avoylo operational account, you must be legally capable of entering into the applicable agreement.
Unless Avoylo expressly approves another lawful structure:
- an individual Host must be at least 18 years old and the age of legal majority where the Host lives;
- an individual acting for a Seller organization must be at least 18 years old and authorized by the Seller;
- minors may not act as Hosts or independently accept Seller or Host contractual obligations.
Avoylo may impose additional eligibility requirements based on jurisdiction, service, payment provider, product category, identity verification, or law.
4. Account Registration
You must provide materially accurate, current, and complete account information.
You must not:
- impersonate another person;
- create an account using materially false identity information;
- create accounts to bypass suspension;
- use another person's credentials without authorization; or
- conceal material facts required for eligibility.
Avoylo may require verification before enabling sensitive functionality.
5. Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining reasonable security over your account credentials, devices, authentication factors, and recovery methods.
You must notify Avoylo promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
Avoylo may:
- revoke sessions;
- require reauthentication;
- require step-up verification;
- restrict sensitive actions;
- rotate credentials; or
- temporarily suspend access
where necessary to protect the Services, users, inventory, funds, or data.
6. Roles
Avoylo may provide different roles, including:
- Seller;
- Host;
- Seller organization owner or admin;
- authorized Seller staff;
- Avoylo admin or operator;
- support personnel; and
- other service-specific roles.
Access rights depend on role and authorization.
Possessing a URL or identifier does not grant authorization to another user's records.
7. Seller Responsibilities
A Seller is responsible for the Seller's products, inventory, declarations, lawful sale of products, customer relationship, product eligibility, packaging, required disclosures, and compliance with applicable Seller policies.
Seller obligations are described in greater detail in the Seller Services Agreement and Seller Services Policy.
8. Host Responsibilities
A Host is responsible for maintaining an eligible Host Location, protecting assigned inventory, following Avoylo custody workflows, using accurate availability and capacity information, and performing authorized tasks.
Host obligations are described in greater detail in the Host Services Agreement and Host Services Policy.
9. Prepacked Service Boundary
The initial Avoylo service is designed for customer-ready, prepacked, sealed Parcels.
Unless Avoylo expressly enables another service, Hosts are not required to perform ordinary:
- product picking;
- kitting;
- repacking;
- product inspection;
- product assembly;
- customer-return inspection;
- product alteration; or
- custom packaging.
10. Prohibited and Restricted Items
You may not use Avoylo for items prohibited under the Prohibited & Restricted Items Policy.
Restricted items require prior approval where the Policy says approval is required.
Carrier acceptance does not override Avoylo's own eligibility rules.
Avoylo may block, quarantine, return, transfer, remove, report, or otherwise manage prohibited or suspicious inventory as permitted by the applicable policies and law.
11. Operational Authority
Avoylo's server-side records and recognized external provider events are authoritative for Avoylo's operational state machine.
A browser screen, local cache, unsupported manual message, or user assertion does not by itself create an authoritative custody, financial, payment, payout, or shipping transition.
12. Matching and Host Availability
Avoylo does not guarantee that:
- a Seller will receive a Host match;
- a Host will receive Opportunities;
- a particular Host will accept;
- a particular area will have capacity;
- a particular Placement will remain available; or
- a specific Seller-Host relationship will continue.
Avoylo may offer the same eligible Placement to multiple Hosts.
The first valid server-side acceptance may win the Placement.
13. Host Location Privacy
Host exact addresses are private operational information and are governed by the Privacy & Location Policy.
Avoylo may disclose precise Host Location information where reasonably necessary for authorized logistics, legal, safety, claims, security, transfer, or compliance purposes.
Users must not misuse private Host Location information.
14. Inventory Ownership
As between Avoylo and the Seller, Avoylo does not acquire title to Seller inventory merely because the inventory enters the Avoylo network.
Hosts do not acquire ownership of Seller inventory merely because they possess or store it.
Any legal lien, security interest, abandonment rule, or other property right created by law is separate from ordinary Avoylo operations and must be handled through an authorized legal process.
15. Custody Records
Avoylo may maintain custody records identifying:
- Seller;
- Host;
- Host Location;
- Parcel;
- Placement;
- receipt;
- storage;
- reservation;
- staging;
- carrier acceptance;
- transfer;
- return;
- removal;
- delivery; and
- incident events.
Custody state does not automatically determine legal fault or insurance coverage.
16. Shipping and Carriers
Shipping may be provided through third-party carriers and shipping providers.
Carrier rules, service availability, delays, loss, damage, surcharges, and provider limitations may apply.
The Shipping & Carrier Policy controls Avoylo's operational handling of those events.
17. Billing
Seller fees and payment rules are governed by the Billing & Payment Policy and Seller Services Agreement.
Avoylo may charge for applicable:
- storage;
- inbound handling;
- outbound handling;
- pass-through shipping;
- carrier adjustments;
- approved returns;
- transfers;
- removals;
- taxes; and
- other expressly disclosed services.
18. Host Earnings
Host earnings and payout rules are governed by the Host Earnings & Payout Policy and Host Services Agreement.
Displayed opportunity estimates do not create guaranteed earnings.
No minimum Host income or Opportunity volume is guaranteed.
19. Payment Providers
Avoylo may use third-party payment providers.
The initial Seller payment provider may be PayPal.
Payment-provider services may be subject to the provider's own terms, eligibility, availability, and verification requirements.
A provider screen does not replace Avoylo's authoritative billing and settlement records.
20. Payout Providers
Avoylo may use one or more third-party payout providers for Hosts.
No live payout provider is promised until Avoylo expressly activates the applicable live payout service.
Payout-provider eligibility, timing, verification, region, and fees may differ.
21. Taxes
You are responsible for taxes imposed on your own products, sales, income, business, property, or activities except to the extent applicable law expressly requires Avoylo to collect, withhold, report, or remit a tax.
Avoylo may require tax information where needed for lawful billing, payment, payout, or reporting.
22. User Content and Operational Evidence
You may submit information such as:
- product data;
- Parcel information;
- photographs;
- incident evidence;
- support messages;
- logos;
- product descriptions;
- shipping data; and
- other materials ("User Content").
You retain ownership of User Content to the extent you own it.
You grant Avoylo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, reproduce, display, transmit, adapt, and use User Content as reasonably necessary to:
- provide the Services;
- operate fulfillment;
- support users;
- investigate incidents;
- process claims;
- prevent fraud;
- enforce agreements;
- improve the Services; and
- comply with law.
This license is limited to legitimate Avoylo purposes and does not transfer ownership of your intellectual property to Avoylo.
23. User Content Responsibility
You represent that you have the rights and authority necessary to provide User Content to Avoylo for the intended purpose.
You must not upload content that unlawfully infringes another person's rights or violates applicable law.
24. Feedback
If you voluntarily provide product feedback, suggestions, or ideas, Avoylo may use them without restriction or compensation, provided Avoylo does not thereby obtain ownership of your unrelated confidential information.
25. Avoylo Intellectual Property
Avoylo and its licensors own the Services, software, designs, interfaces, trademarks, logos, documentation, and other Avoylo materials except for User Content and third-party materials.
Subject to these Terms, Avoylo grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for authorized purposes.
26. Restrictions
You must not:
- reverse engineer the Services except where non-waivable law permits;
- bypass access controls;
- access another user's private data without authorization;
- probe or exploit security vulnerabilities;
- use bots to create abusive load;
- scrape private operational data;
- interfere with service integrity;
- upload malware;
- forge system events;
- fabricate QR scans, evidence, or provider events;
- manipulate billing or payouts;
- evade a suspension;
- use Avoylo for illegal conduct; or
- assist another person in doing so.
27. Acceptable Use
You must use the Services in a lawful manner and in accordance with role-specific policies.
Avoylo may investigate suspected abuse and take proportionate action.
28. No Off-Platform Circumvention
Users must not use nonpublic Avoylo information to intentionally bypass Avoylo's authorized custody, billing, privacy, safety, or fulfillment controls.
This does not prohibit lawful independent relationships unrelated to Avoylo.
29. Third-Party Services
The Services may integrate with third parties such as:
- carriers;
- payment providers;
- payout providers;
- identity providers;
- cloud providers;
- ecommerce platforms;
- analytics providers; and
- support providers.
Avoylo is not responsible for a third party's unrelated service or conduct.
Your use of a third-party service may also be governed by that provider's terms.
30. Shopify and Commerce Integrations
Where Avoylo supports a commerce integration, the Seller must authorize the connected shop and any product mapping.
Avoylo may require explicit mapping between external products or variants and Seller-owned Parcel profiles.
Avoylo does not guarantee compatibility with every ecommerce configuration.
31. Google and Other Login Providers
Avoylo may permit authentication through third-party identity providers.
Availability of a login provider may change.
A third-party login provider does not receive ownership of your Avoylo account or Avoylo inventory merely because it authenticates you.
32. Service Changes
Avoylo may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features.
Where a material change affects active inventory, accrued charges, earned Host compensation, or another existing obligation, Avoylo will use reasonable measures to preserve or transition existing records and obligations.
33. Beta, Pilot, and Sandbox Features
Avoylo may label functionality as beta, pilot, test, sandbox, preview, or experimental.
Such features may:
- change;
- be incomplete;
- have limited support;
- be restricted to test data; or
- be unavailable in production.
Sandbox transactions are not live commercial transactions.
34. Availability
Avoylo does not guarantee uninterrupted operation.
Maintenance, outages, provider failures, network issues, emergency actions, or other events may temporarily affect the Services.
Avoylo will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore material service functionality.
35. Support
Avoylo may provide support through designated channels.
Any stated response target is a target for first human response unless expressly stated otherwise.
A response target is not a guarantee that an issue will be fully resolved within the same period.
36. Incidents and Claims
Operational incidents and claims are governed by the Claims & Incident Policy.
Creating an Incident or Claim does not automatically establish:
- fault;
- liability;
- insurance;
- reimbursement;
- replacement value; or
- lost-profit recovery.
37. Insurance
Avoylo does not represent Seller inventory, Host property, or Shipments as insured unless actual coverage exists and the applicable terms are expressly provided.
Carrier liability, declared value, insurance, contractual protection, and discretionary credits are distinct concepts.
38. Equipment
Host equipment purchases, rewards, subsidies, loaners, compatibility, warranties, and returns are governed by the Equipment & Rewards Policy.
39. Privacy
Avoylo's collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information is governed by the Privacy Policy and Privacy & Location Policy.
40. Confidential Information
A user may receive nonpublic information concerning another participant solely to perform an Avoylo transaction.
The user must protect that information and use it only for the authorized purpose.
This obligation does not apply to information that:
- was lawfully public without breach;
- was independently developed without use of the confidential information;
- was lawfully received from another source without confidentiality restriction; or
- must be disclosed by law.
41. Suspension
Avoylo may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary because of:
- security risk;
- fraud;
- nonpayment;
- unsafe storage;
- prohibited items;
- falsified records;
- serious privacy misuse;
- legal restriction;
- repeated material policy violations; or
- threat to users, inventory, or the Services.
Avoylo should scope suspension reasonably where possible.
42. Termination by User
You may request account closure subject to resolving active obligations.
Seller closure may require:
- completing or cancelling orders;
- paying outstanding amounts;
- removing or transferring inventory; and
- resolving open claims or disputes.
Host closure may require:
- resolving all stored inventory;
- completing authorized transfers/removals;
- completing payout reconciliation; and
- returning loaned equipment where applicable.
43. Termination by Avoylo
Avoylo may terminate an account for material breach, fraud, legal restriction, serious safety risk, or repeated violation.
Where practical and safe, Avoylo may provide notice and an opportunity to cure.
Immediate action may be taken where delay would create material risk.
44. Effect of Termination
Termination does not erase:
- unpaid Seller charges;
- earned Host compensation;
- completed payment or payout history;
- custody records;
- claims;
- tax records;
- confidentiality obligations;
- intellectual-property rights;
- indemnity obligations; or
- other provisions intended to survive.
45. Seller Warranties
A Seller represents and warrants that, for inventory submitted to Avoylo:
- the Seller has lawful rights to the inventory;
- the Seller may lawfully sell and distribute it;
- product declarations are materially accurate;
- the inventory complies with applicable law and Avoylo eligibility rules;

- the Seller will comply with recalls, safety obligations, and regulatory requirements.
46. Host Representations
A Host represents and warrants that:

47. Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Avoylo and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from or relating to:
- your unlawful conduct;
- your material breach of these Terms or an applicable agreement;
- your products or inventory;
- your infringement of third-party rights;
- your misuse of another user's private information;
- your fraud or intentional misconduct; or
- your violation of applicable law.
This section does not require indemnification to the extent a claim was caused by Avoylo's own conduct where such allocation is prohibited by law.
Role-specific indemnities may appear in the Seller or Host agreement.
48. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
Avoylo does not warrant that:
- every Seller will obtain a Host;
- every Host will receive Opportunities;
- every shipment will arrive on time;
- every carrier event will be error-free;
- every third-party service will remain available;
- every integration will work with every external configuration; or

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
49. No Consequential-Damages Recovery
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Avoylo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost business opportunity, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising from the Services, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law.
This provision does not itself determine any specific inventory Claim remedy.
50. General Liability Cap
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Avoylo's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services under these Terms will not exceed the greater of:
- USD $100; or
- the total Avoylo service fees actually paid by you to Avoylo during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim,
excluding pass-through carrier postage, taxes collected for authorities, and amounts merely transferred to another participant.
This cap does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including where applicable liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or other non-waivable obligations.
A Seller Services Agreement, Host Services Agreement, protection program, insurance policy, or mandatory law may provide a different rule for a specific claim.
51. No Limitation of Payment Obligations
The liability limitations above do not excuse:
- Seller payment obligations;
- refund obligations already determined under an applicable policy;
- Host repayment or correction obligations lawfully established;
- amounts owed under a completed transaction; or
- other monetary obligations expressly accepted under an applicable agreement.
52. Force Majeure
Avoylo is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond Avoylo's reasonable control, including:

- civil disorder;
- government action;
- labor disruption;
- carrier shutdown;

You are responsible for keeping contact information current.

You may retain electronic copies for your records.
55. Assignment
You may not transfer these Terms or an operational account without Avoylo's consent, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right.
Avoylo may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the applicable business, subject to applicable law.
56. No Agency or Partnership
Except for specific authority expressly granted in a separate written agreement, use of Avoylo does not create a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, or general agency between users and Avoylo.
The Host relationship is addressed separately in the Host Services Agreement.
57. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION TBD], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent mandatory law requires otherwise.
58. Dispute Resolution
Before filing a formal claim, the parties should first attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through Avoylo's designated legal or support contact.
The final forum, arbitration, class-action, jury-waiver, venue, and statutory-notice provisions must be completed for Avoylo's chosen legal entity and operating jurisdiction before publication:
[DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE TBD AFTER ENTITY/JURISDICTION SELECTION]
Nothing in this placeholder limits non-waivable consumer, employment, privacy, or statutory rights.
59. Severability
If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
60. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
61. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the applicable incorporated policies, role-specific agreements, Accepted Terms, and service-specific terms, form the agreement concerning the applicable Avoylo Services.
They supersede prior oral or written statements concerning the same subject to the extent permitted by law.
62. Changes to Terms
Avoylo may update these Terms prospectively.
Where required by law or contract, Avoylo will provide appropriate notice before a material change becomes effective.
A change does not silently rewrite completed payment, payout, custody, or Accepted-Term history.
