Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: August 27, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to GreensShare.com (“GreensShare,” “we,” “our,” “us”), operated by GreensShare LLC. By accessing or using our website and services (the “Platform”), you (“you,” “user,” “buyer,” or “producer”) agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.

2. Platform Role & Liability Disclaimer

  • GreensShare is a virtual marketplace that connects individuals and small-scale producers (“Producers”) with buyers for local, homegrown, and handcrafted food and goods.
  • GreensShare does not grow, manufacture, produce, package, store, deliver, or inspect any items sold through the Platform.
  • All transactions occur directly between Buyers and Producers. GreensShare is not a party to any sale.
  • Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, agency, or employment relationship between GreensShare and any user.
  • You agree that GreensShare is not responsible or liable for:
    • The safety, legality, labeling, or quality of items listed;
    • The accuracy or reliability of listings;
    • Any illness, injury, harm, loss, or damages arising from a transaction, product, or interaction.

The Platform is provided “as-is” and without warranties of any kind.

3. User Responsibilities

A. Producers (Sellers)

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or list products on the Platform.

By listing products on GreensShare, you agree to:

  • Comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including food safety, labeling, agricultural, and cottage food regulations.
  • Accurately describe your products, including availability and pricing.
  • Ensure that your products are safe, lawful, and properly labeled.
  • Understand that Buyers assume certain inherent risks in purchasing homegrown or handmade goods, and you are solely responsible for compliance and product safety.
  • Handle any required taxes. Producers are solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any applicable sales taxes or other taxes associated with their transactions. GreensShare allows Producers to optionally connect third-party payment processors, such as Stripe, to accept card payments. While certain payment processors linked to GreensShare may provide optional tools to help calculate or collect taxes, use of such tools does not transfer tax responsibility away from the Producer.

  • Exercise reasonable diligence and judgment when choosing products.
  • Acknowledge that products may not be inspected or certified by GreensShare or any third party.
  • Contact the Producer directly with questions or concerns.
  • Accept that local food and handmade goods may carry limited warranties and assumed risk.
  • Act in good faith, and refrain from harassment, threats, or misuse of the Platform.

  • Interstate shipment of food or products restricted by law without proper licensing
  • Misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive listings
  • Spam, hate speech, or abusive conduct in listings, messages, or profiles

GreensShare reserves the right to remove listings or users at its sole discretion if they appear unlawful or harmful.

5. Transactions and Payments
