Independent seller agreement

This agreement is between you and GARCINI MEDIA Inc., a Québec, Canada corporation operating the Shuq marketplace. “Shuq”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean GARCINI MEDIA Inc.

Each opportunity also has listing-specific terms, including the reward, attribution window, and any recurring duration. The version and listing terms you accept are recorded when you enroll.

This agreement adds to the Shuq terms of service, which also apply to you. You must be at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to enter it.

You are an independent seller. You are not an employee, worker, agent, or partner of GARCINI MEDIA Inc. or of any company whose opportunity you accept.

You decide which opportunities to take, when you work, how you sell, and what tools you use. Nobody sets your hours or supervises your method.

You may work with other companies, platforms and competitors at the same time. Neither GARCINI MEDIA Inc. nor a listing company may require exclusivity from you through Shuq.

You bear your own costs and expenses, and you are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and any registration your country requires.

You are paid per result, as stated on the listing you accepted. There is no retainer, salary, or minimum.

A commission becomes payable once the customer has paid the company and GARCINI MEDIA Inc. has collected the funded reward through Shuq.

Your reward is recorded the moment a deal is marked won, before the company confirms anything, and is frozen at the terms you accepted. If the company neither confirms nor contests the deal within the stated window, the case is escalated to GARCINI MEDIA Inc. for review (you do not need to raise a dispute for that to happen), and the commission may be upheld and collected without the company's confirmation. Where the customer payment cannot be established the commission may instead be closed, which does not affect your attribution or your track record.

Shuq does not retain a platform fee from your reward. The amount shown on a listing is transferred to your Stripe balance before any applicable tax, currency conversion, or external provider fee.

Payouts are made through Stripe. You must complete Stripe’s identity, tax, and payout requirements and keep your payout information current. Bank timing and availability can depend on Stripe and your financial institution.

Payment processing services for sellers on Shuq are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (together, the Stripe Services Agreement). By accepting this agreement or continuing to receive payouts on Shuq, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as Stripe may modify it from time to time. As a condition of Shuq enabling payouts through Stripe, you agree to provide accurate and complete information about yourself, and you authorize GARCINI MEDIA Inc. to share it and your transaction information with Stripe.

A reward is held for a short period after it is collected. If the company’s charge is refunded, reversed or disputed before the reward is transferred, the reward may be withheld. If it happens after the transfer, GARCINI MEDIA Inc. may reverse the transfer to the extent your Stripe balance allows. A reward withheld or reversed this way is paid once the funds are recovered.

Registering a prospect reserves it for you for the window stated on the listing, typically 30 days.

Meaningful logged activity extends that window. Silence lets it lapse and returns the prospect to the pool.

Where two sellers claim the same prospect, the first properly registered eligible lead holds attribution. Ambiguous cases are reviewed by Shuq by hand.

Sell only what the company's sales kit supports. Do not invent capabilities, customers, pricing, or timelines.

You may not sign contracts, accept payment, or make binding commitments on a company's behalf unless that company gives you written authority.

Do not sell a product or service whose sale requires a licence or registration you do not hold, such as insurance, securities, lending or real estate.

Your outreach must comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and the equivalent laws where your prospects are located. Send a commercial email or message only with the prospect’s consent or under a recognized exception, such as a business address the prospect has conspicuously published and that relates to their role.

Every message must identify you and the company you represent, include a way to reach you, and offer a simple way to unsubscribe. Honour unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. Respect do-not-call rules where they apply.

Register only prospect information you obtained lawfully, limited to business contact details. Never enter sensitive information such as health, financial or identity-document data.

When Shuq introduces you to a company, your selling relationship with that company stays on Shuq for twelve months after you last enrolled in, or registered a prospect on, one of its listings.

During that period, do not accept a commission, fee or other compensation from that company for selling its products or services outside Shuq, directly or through someone else, unless the company has declared the arrangement to GARCINI MEDIA Inc. If a company offers to pay you outside Shuq, tell Shuq at the support address.

This does not limit who else you may sell for. A relationship you had with the company before Shuq is not covered; keep evidence of it in case of a dispute.

Off Shuq, the protections in this agreement do not apply: no attribution lock, no confirmation deadline, no review of a deal marked lost, and no reward funded before it is paid.

Breaching this section may lead to the suspension of your account. Rewards already funded and owed to you remain owed.

Sales kits, pricing, prospect lists, and product access given to you exist so you can sell. They are not yours to publish or pass on.

Free product access issued with a listing is for your own evaluation and demos, not for resale or sharing.

Stop selling a listing whenever you like. Prospects you registered stay yours until their window closes.

A company can end its listing. Commission on deals already closed and paid is still owed to you.

You are responsible for your selling conduct and for complying with advertising, privacy, anti-spam, consumer-protection, licensing, and other laws that apply to your outreach. Nothing in this agreement excludes a right or remedy that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

The limitation of liability, responsibility for third-party claims, and changes provisions of the terms of service also apply to this agreement. A change never alters the reward frozen in listing terms you already accepted.

This agreement is governed by the laws applicable in Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, subject to mandatory law. It is available in French and in English; by accepting the English version, you confirm that the French version was made available to you and that you expressly chose to be bound by the English version.
