Introduction
This Merchant Platform Agreement ("this Agreement") is a legal agreement between On Anthem, Inc. ("OnAnthem," "we," "our") and the individual or entity accepting these terms ("Merchant," "you," "your"). By connecting your product catalog to the OnAnthem Platform or by accepting these terms during onboarding, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
OnAnthem operates a marketplace platform (the "OnAnthem Platform") where customers purchase your merchandise through checkout experiences operated by OnAnthem, including marketplace pages and embedded storefronts presented in connection with entities such as festivals, venues, and ticketing platforms ("Partners"). OnAnthem lists the products you choose to share, operates the checkout, collects transaction funds through its payment processor, calculates settlement amounts, and distributes funds to you and the applicable Partner. If you connect a supported commerce platform such as Shopify, orders placed through the OnAnthem Platform are created in your connected store for you to fulfill.
Your Account
Onboarding and Payout Setup
To use the OnAnthem Platform, you must connect your product catalog and complete onboarding. By completing onboarding, you agree to the payment processor's applicable terms of service, including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement if applicable, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Account Accuracy
You are responsible for keeping the following information accurate and up to date, and for all activity that occurs under your account:
- • Account information and contact details
- • Product catalog, pricing, tax category details, and inventory levels
- • Shipping settings and return policies
- • Tax information and payout details
Eligibility and Authority
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.
Suspension and Verification
OnAnthem reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Agreement, engage in fraudulent or abusive activity, fail to satisfy onboarding or verification requirements, or pose legal, financial, operational, payment processor, or reputational risk to the OnAnthem Platform.
OnAnthem may require additional information or documentation from you at any time to verify your identity, business operations, inventory ownership, authority to sell merchandise, tax status, or compliance with this Agreement. You must also comply with OnAnthem policies, payment processor requirements, card network rules, sanctions requirements, fraud prevention requirements, reserve requirements, and other onboarding, verification, or compliance requirements OnAnthem communicates from time to time.
Fulfillment and Customer Experience
Fulfillment Responsibility
You are solely responsible for fulfilling all orders for your merchandise, including picking, packing, shipping, delivery, tracking, and any customer-facing order obligations assigned to you by OnAnthem. You are also responsible for product quality, safety, legality, compliance, labeling, and accuracy.
Shipping Timelines

Tracking
Provide valid shipment tracking information where available
Issue Notification
Promptly notify OnAnthem of any delay, inventory shortage, fulfillment issue, recall, or restriction
Accurate Representations
Shipping timelines, availability statements, and product representations must be accurate and supported by a reasonable basis
Returns and Refunds
All refunds are issued to the customer's original payment method. You may initiate a refund from your OnAnthem dashboard or, if you have connected a supported commerce platform such as Shopify, from your connected store; OnAnthem processes the refund and reverses the associated commission and sales tax accordingly.
You shall manage returns and refunds in accordance with the return policy approved for use on the OnAnthem Platform and any policies communicated to customers in the checkout flow.
OnAnthem may, in its discretion, issue or direct refunds, returns, credits, cancellations, or other customer accommodations where reasonably necessary to resolve customer service issues, legal compliance issues, fraud concerns, fulfillment failures, product defects, product nonconformity, delivery failures, infringement claims, pricing errors, or other order-related disputes. OnAnthem's determination shall control absent manifest error.
Loss Recovery
If a refund, return, credit, adjustment, chargeback, or other loss arises from your failure to fulfill, delayed shipment, product defect, inaccurate description, product nonconformity, infringement allegation, recall, violation of law, or other act or omission by you, you are responsible for the full amount of such loss and any associated fees, costs, penalties, shipping costs, and related expenses. OnAnthem may offset such amounts from any current or future payouts otherwise owed to you.
Failure to Fulfill
If you fail to fulfill an order, OnAnthem may cancel the order, refund the customer, refuse to release settlement amounts attributable to that order, or take other action reasonably necessary to protect OnAnthem, the customer, or the applicable Partner.
Cooperation
You are responsible for cooperating promptly and in good faith with OnAnthem and any applicable Partner in connection with customer complaints, inquiries, disputes, refund requests, chargebacks, product claims, regulatory inquiries, or investigations involving your merchandise or fulfillment activities.
Payments and Settlement
Settlement Calculation
For each sale of your merchandise through the OnAnthem Platform, OnAnthem or its designated payment processor receives or causes the receipt of the transaction funds from the customer. OnAnthem then calculates the amounts, if any, payable to you, the applicable Partner, and OnAnthem based on the commercial terms configured for the applicable transaction or relationship.
Payout Conditions
Payouts to you are not instant and are not earned until all of the following conditions are met:
- • The underlying transaction has been successfully processed
- • The funds have been received and cleared
- • Any applicable risk, fraud, compliance, reserve, refund, return, or chargeback reviews have been completed to OnAnthem’s satisfaction
- • Any required fulfillment conditions have been met
OnAnthem may delay or withhold payouts in whole or in part for actual or anticipated refunds, returns, chargebacks, disputes, fraud risk, failed payments, compliance reviews, payment processor requirements, legal requirements, reserves, failed fulfillment, inaccurate information, or other liabilities or risks associated with your account or transactions. Absent any hold, reserve, failed payment, or other issue, OnAnthem will initiate payout within a commercially reasonable time after the applicable payout conditions are satisfied.
Calculating Your Payout
Your payout for each transaction equals the amount determined under the commercial terms configured in the OnAnthem Platform for the applicable Partner relationship, less any of the following amounts owed by you to OnAnthem or any Partner:
- • Marketplace Commission
- • Payment processing fees
- • Refunds, returns, chargebacks, reversals, and credits
- • Shipping adjustments
- • Reserve amounts and penalties
- • Taxes required to be withheld
- • Dispute-related costs
Reserves and Holdbacks
OnAnthem may establish reserves, rolling reserves, payout holds, delayed settlement periods, minimum payout thresholds, or other holdbacks in amounts OnAnthem reasonably determines are necessary to secure actual or anticipated refunds, chargebacks, disputes, fraud risk, returns, penalties, indemnification obligations, or other liabilities. OnAnthem may release or modify such reserves in its discretion.
Offset and Recoupment
OnAnthem may offset any amounts owed by you to OnAnthem or to any Partner from any payouts otherwise due to you under any transaction, Partner relationship, or other account you maintain on the OnAnthem Platform.
If OnAnthem has already paid you for a transaction that is later refunded, charged back, reversed, disputed, canceled, found to be fraudulent, or otherwise results in loss or liability attributable in whole or in part to you, OnAnthem may recover the applicable amount from your current or future payouts, or by other lawful means.
Data Sources
OnAnthem may rely on data from its payment processor, order management systems, connected commerce platforms, tracking systems, fraud tools, and internal records in determining transaction status, fulfillment status, reserve requirements, payout timing, and settlement amounts.
Settlement Statement Disputes
You shall review settlement statements and payout reports promptly. Unless you notify OnAnthem in writing of a specific dispute within thirty (30) days after the applicable settlement statement or payout report is made available to you, that statement or report is deemed final and accepted.
