Terms of service

Last updated: September 13, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of originalsquarter.com and its related content, features, forms, and services (collectively, the “Services”).

The Services are operated by DJC Commerce LLC, doing business as Originals Quarter (“Originals Quarter,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Services.

If you use the Services or submit an application on behalf of a business, brand, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to act on its behalf and provide the submitted information.

2. Purpose of the Services

The current purpose of the Services is to provide information about Originals Quarter and allow independent brands, makers, artisans, designers, and small businesses to express interest in potential retail opportunities.

We may add, remove, suspend, or modify website features, content, application processes, payment functionality, or other Services at any time.

3. Vendor Applications

Submitting a vendor application:

  • Does not guarantee acceptance, approval, placement, availability, or participation.

  • Does not reserve retail space or establish priority over another applicant.

  • Does not create a vendor, agency, employment, franchise, partnership, joint-venture, fiduciary, landlord-tenant, or other commercial relationship.

  • Does not obligate Originals Quarter to respond, provide feedback, negotiate, or enter into an agreement.

  • Does not constitute an offer by Originals Quarter to lease, license, sublease, rent, or otherwise provide retail space.

We may accept, reject, defer, prioritize, or request additional information concerning any application at our discretion, subject to applicable law.

Factors considered may include product quality, originality, category balance, brand presentation, pricing, inventory capacity, product eligibility, operational readiness, customer fit, available space, and other legitimate business considerations.

4. Application Information and Materials

You agree to provide information that is accurate, current, complete, and not misleading.

You represent that you own or have permission to submit all names, photographs, product descriptions, logos, links, designs, and other materials included with your application (“Application Materials”).

You retain ownership of your Application Materials. By submitting them, you give Originals Quarter a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, copy, store, and internally share those materials solely for:

  • Reviewing and evaluating your application.

  • Communicating with you about a potential relationship.

  • Conducting internal planning and due diligence.

  • Maintaining appropriate application and business records.

We will not use your Application Materials in public advertising or promotional materials without additional permission, except where the material is already publicly available or its use is otherwise permitted by law.

5. Confidential Information

Do not submit trade secrets, confidential formulas, unreleased designs, sensitive financial information, government identification numbers, payment-card information, or other confidential information that we have not specifically requested.

Submission of information through the website does not create a confidential, fiduciary, or nondisclosure relationship. A confidentiality obligation will exist only if it is contained in a separate written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Originals Quarter.

6. Separate Vendor Agreement Required

If an applicant is selected, any vendor participation will be governed by a separate written vendor agreement.

That agreement may address matters including:

  • Space availability and placement.

  • Rates, fees, deposits, and payment terms.

  • Product eligibility and approval.

  • Inventory, merchandising, and restocking requirements.

  • Sales processing and vendor payouts.

  • Returns, refunds, taxes, insurance, and liability.

  • Loss, theft, damage, recalls, and product compliance.

  • Term, termination, and operational requirements.

No vendor relationship becomes effective until all required documents are signed and any required payments, insurance documents, permits, licenses, or other materials are received and accepted.

If these Terms conflict with a signed vendor agreement, the signed vendor agreement controls regarding the vendor relationship.

7. Preliminary and Conceptual Information

Unless expressly stated otherwise, website information concerning the proposed store, location, opening date, rates, fees, product mix, floor plans, shelf configurations, services, operations, amenities, capacity, and commercial terms is preliminary and subject to change.

Renderings, layouts, photographs, mockups, brand presentations, diagrams, and other visual materials may be conceptual or illustrative. They are not guarantees that a store, fixture, display, product selection, or retail environment will appear or operate exactly as shown.

Location, rates, opening date, product eligibility, availability, and final commercial terms remain subject to confirmation and written agreement.

You should not make inventory purchases, production commitments, staffing decisions, travel arrangements, financial commitments, or other business decisions based solely on preliminary website information.

8. Acceptable Use

You may use the Services only for lawful purposes. You may not:

  • Submit false, fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized information.

  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, authority, business, products, or qualifications.

  • Infringe or violate another party’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights.

  • Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, harmful files, or disruptive technologies.

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, accounts, servers, systems, or data.

  • Interfere with the security, operation, availability, or performance of the Services.

  • Harvest, collect, scrape, or extract personal information or website content without authorization.

  • Use the Services to send spam, unsolicited promotions, or unlawful communications.

  • Use automated systems to access the Services in a manner that creates an unreasonable burden, circumvents access restrictions, or violates applicable law.

  • Use the Services for any illegal, abusive, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, or harmful purpose.

We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

9. Intellectual Property

The Services and their content—including the Originals Quarter name and branding, logos, graphics, text, photographs, renderings, layouts, designs, slogans, icons, software, and arrangement of content—are owned by or licensed to Originals Quarter and may be protected by copyright, trademark, trade-dress, and other laws.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms, you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, display, transmit, create derivative works from, sell, license, or commercially exploit website content without our prior written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property or grants you a license to use the Originals Quarter name, logos, branding, slogans, or other brand elements.

10. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide general suggestions or feedback about the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use that feedback to operate and improve our business and Services.

This section does not transfer ownership of your products, brand, logo, designs, or Application Materials and does not authorize us to publicly market your brand without permission.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may contain links to or integrations with websites, platforms, social networks, payment processors, or services operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, products, services, or terms. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s applicable terms and policies.

12. Relationship With Shopify

Originals Quarter is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services.

Any sales or purchases made through our store are made directly with Originals Quarter. Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of a sale, purchase, vendor-selection decision, application decision, or relationship between you and Originals Quarter, including any resulting injury, damage, or loss.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Shopify and its affiliates from claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or relating to transactions or interactions with Originals Quarter.

13. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.

Because Shopify hosts and supports the Services, certain personal information may also be processed by Shopify. You can review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy for additional information.

14. Errors and Changes

Website content may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or technical problems.

We may correct, update, remove, or change website content at any time without notice. We are not obligated to update every statement immediately after circumstances change.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT:

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ORIGINALS QUARTER AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, INVENTORY COSTS, OR RELIANCE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ASSERTED AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

  1. The amount you paid directly to Originals Quarter through the website during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or

  2. One hundred U.S. dollars.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

17. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Originals Quarter and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from:

  • Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services.

  • Your material violation of these Terms.

  • Your violation of another party’s rights.

  • Application Materials you submit without the necessary ownership, authority, or permission.

  • Materially false, fraudulent, or misleading information you submit.

18. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created a security or legal risk, or misused the Services.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and general terms—will remain effective.

19. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be waived, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You and Originals Quarter consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.

21. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.

22. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other business transaction.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms and the policies expressly incorporated into them constitute the entire agreement concerning your use of the Services.

They do not replace or modify any separate written vendor agreement, confidentiality agreement, or other contract signed by you and Originals Quarter.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes to the Services, our business, or applicable requirements.

We will post the updated Terms on this page, revise the “Last updated” date, and provide any additional notice required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those updated Terms.
