If BoardGamesNMore determines that your account has been used to engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity or repeated violation of Seller Policies, we may permanently withhold payments to you in our sole discretion.
(e) Other Security Measures. As a security measure, BoardGamesNMore may, but is not required to, impose transaction limits on you or some or all customers relating to the value of any transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of time.

Customers will place orders (the “Orders") using the BoardGamesNMore checkout system. The Customer shall never be at risk of loss of funds upon receipt by BoardGamesNMore of payment from the Customer. After a Customer submits an Order using the BoardGamesNMore checkout system, BoardGamesNMore will electronically transmit to you the Order information that BoardGamesNMore determines is necessary to fulfill each Order (the “Transaction Information”). You acknowledge that BoardGamesNMore will not confirm acceptance of an Order or conclude any Orders on your behalf and you are responsible for confirming acceptance of an Order by providing an update in the BoardGamesNMore Tool and fulfillment and shipment in accordance with this Section 6.
(b) Order Fulfillment.

If you cannot fulfill
the entire quantity of a purchase order (“PO”) line in an Order, then you will cancel that PO line, fulfill all other lines in the Order and promptly notify BoardGamesNMore via the BoardGamesNMore Tool of such cancellation, for communication to the Customer. If the Order consists of one PO line that you cannot fulfill the entire quantity for, then you will cancel the entire Order and promptly notify BoardGamesNMore via the BoardGamesNMore Tool, for communication to the Customer.

Internal and external packaging for Products may not contain (1) any third party branding or marketing materials, or (2) Seller marketing materials that are not included as standard marketing materials with all of your Product shipments. Emails sent by you to Customers in connection with an Order will not contain any marketing materials or links to any Seller or third party website, except for links to shipping websites that permit the Customer to track shipment of their Order. For the avoidance of doubt, you are required to obtain consent as applicable to send any email communications to Customer and to otherwise ensure that any email sent to a Customer complies with Canada’s anti-spam legislation.
(e) Shipping Status Reports. During the Term, BoardGamesNMore may provide you with reports on the status of Orders placed pursuant to this Agreement.

You will be solely liable and responsible for all Product costs and shipping costs associated with such rejected Order and you forfeit any claims for any payments of purchase price otherwise payable under this Agreement related to such rejected Orders.
(f) Risk of Fraud or Loss. Please note that, though BoardGamesNMore will bear the risk of credit card fraud occurring in connection with an Order, you will bear all other risk of fraud or loss and all costs related thereto. BoardGamesNMore may, in its sole discretion, withhold for investigation, cancel or refuse to process any Orders. For all credit card chargebacks for which you bear the risk, you hereby irrevocably authorize and direct BoardGamesNMore to reimburse itself for the amount of such chargebacks from the monies it holds in trust for you and that are otherwise distributable to you or to send you an invoice for such amounts and you will pay such invoice within 30 days of receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BoardGamesNMore will not bear the risk of credit card fraud or loss in connection with any Product that is not shipped by you to the shipping address specified in the Transaction Information provided by BoardGamesNMore, and you will be responsible for all costs related thereto.
