When you post content, you give Etsy and authorized third parties a perpetual, irrevocable license that can include promotion through Etsy, partners, and other channels.
This license applies when you post content through Etsy.
If you submit ideas or other materials outside Your Content and items for sale, Etsy gets a perpetual, irrevocable license to use and publish them for any purpose without compensation.
This applies if you submit ideas or other materials that are not Your Content or items you sell through Etsy.
Etsy may suspend or terminate your account if it has reason to believe you or your use violates its terms; you may lose associated information, though it generally gives notice.
The terms generally provide notice, except when repeated violations or legal or regulatory reasons prevent it.
Closing your account does not necessarily remove all earlier posts: some content may remain available, although you may lose other information associated with your account.
This applies if you terminate your account after posting content.
The terms generally waive court and class-action cases in favor of individual arbitration, but new users can opt out within 30 days after first accepting the terms.
The arbitration agreement applies to users in North or South America; the 30-day opt-out is for new users.
If you want to opt out, email arbitrationoptout@etsy.com within 30 days after first accepting the terms and include the requested account details.
Where law allows, the terms exclude several types of damages and cap total liability at the greatest of $100, qualifying purchase-protection amounts, or fees paid to Etsy in the prior 12 months.
The terms state that these limits apply only to the fullest extent permitted by law.
For marketplace purchases, Etsy says it does not inspect or warrant items, directs legal claims to sellers, and seeks a release from item-related claims.
This applies if you purchase an item sold through Etsy.
