Fulfillment Services and Storage Agreement for PRODUCERS
1) Purpose
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms by which RGAND is to provide services to PRODUCER and by which PRODUCER is to compensate RGAND for the same. RGAND and PRODUCER desire that the resulting relationship is mutually beneficial and enhances PRODUCER’s business.
2) On-Time Fulfillment – 100% Guarantee
RGAND shall provide Fulfillment Services pertaining to an Order on the Target Ship Date assigned to the Order. Orders received by an agreed upon Cutoff Time within a Normal Business Day will receive a Target Ship Date of the same day. Otherwise RGAND shall provide the Fulfillment Services for such Order by the end of the next Normal Business Day at the latest.
3) Fulfillment Accuracy – 100% Guarantee
RGAND shall provide Fulfillment Services with 100% accuracy, which means that for each Order, RGAND fulfills the correct type and quantity of Goods and submits the resulting Package(s) or Pallet(s) to the correct Carrier. In the event RGAND makes a mistake such that Fulfillment Services for a given Order are not performed as required by this section, RGAND shall refund to PRODUCER all amounts paid to RGAND for Fulfillment Services pertaining to such Order; shall pay for all shipping costs, to include any additional Carrier service fees to retrieve items shipped incorrectly, if any; shall pay for all shipping costs to ship any missing items, if any.
4) Inventory Safety and Accuracy – 100% Guarantee
RGAND shall safe-keep and protect the Goods under its care with 100% reliability, and RGAND shall maintain records of the Goods under its care with 100% accuracy. Such safe- keeping, protection, and accuracy requires that once received by RGAND, no Goods are damaged, stolen, or lost as a result of RGAND’s negligence. In the event that such damages, theft, or losses occur while Goods are in the care of RGAND, RGAND shall reimburse PRODUCER for the lost Goods at PRODUCER’s cost basis, including shipping. Rgand shall promptly report all such losses to PRODUCER. Upon request by RGAND, PRODUCER shall provide documentation to support the reported loss value in the form of an invoice, receipt, or similar documentation. Should such lost Goods later be recovered, RGAND shall be deemed the owner of those Goods.

PRODUCER may at any time compare the discounted shipping rates billed to PRODUCER against the Published Rates to ensure the accuracy of the costs incurred to ship each Package. PRODUCER shall additionally pay RGAND the Published Rates for all surcharges, accessorial charges, declared value coverage, and any other extra fees charged by Carriers as a result of the Orders. Because the Published Rates and other fees charged by Carriers are subject to change outside of the control of RGAND, discounts to shipping rates are subjects to change at RGAND’s sole discretion, including which Carrier is used by RGAND for shipping services.

Such claims shall be limited to cumulatively not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) per Normal Business Day; provided however that where a claim does not arise from an Uncontrollable Event, the one thousand-dollar ($1,000) limitation does not apply to claims for lost or damaged Goods as described in the section of this Agreement titled “Inventory Safety and Accuracy – 100% Guarantee”. Only one claim may be made for each event, occurrence, or mistake that gives rise to a claim. Payment of claims against RGAND that arise from “guarantees” described in this Agreement shall be deemed liquidated damages for any and all losses, current claims, or future claims arising from the event, occurrence, or mistake that gives rise to such claim. In no event will RGAND’s lifetime liability, regardless of legal theory or culpability, exceed for all claims, losses, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, expenses, and costs (including but not limited to attorney’s fees, and including indemnification and reimbursement obligations, if any), an amount equal to the total amount of all charges for Fulfillment Services (and expressly excluding shipping charges for which PRODUCER is responsible and which were billed to RGAND by Carriers) paid by PRODUCER to RGAND in the previous six (6) calendar months. In the event any portion of this Agreement or its Exhibits or amendments conflict with this language regarding the limits of RGAND’s liability, this language regarding the limits of RGAND’s liability will control.
39) Entire Agreement
The Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, negotiations, or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof or the relationship between PRODUCER and RGAND (collectively “Prior Agreements”), regardless of whether Prior Agreements were reduced to writing, and regardless of whether Prior Agreements reduced to writing state that they will govern the relationship between PRODUCER and RGAND in the future regardless of whether any future contracts are executed between the parties. There are no other understandings, statements, warranties, representations, or promises, oral or otherwise, contrary to the terms of the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits.
40) Conflict of Terms
Where there is a conflict of terms between this Agreement and any of its Exhibits, addenda, or other documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control except where (i) such other document is executed subsequent to this Agreement, is signed by both Parties, and expressly states that such other terms control over or amend this Agreement, and it is expressly agreed by the Parties that a document amending the terms of this Agreement may be in the form of an e-mail chain between the Parties which manifests the new terms and the acceptance by both Parties of the new terms; or (ii) such conflict arises in a situation where RGAND is given the authority to modify the terms of this Agreement at its sole discretion or otherwise alter the terms of this Agreement at its sole discretion, in which case the decision of RGAND, as communicated to PRODUCER according to the section of this Agreement titled “Notice”, will control. Any document or e-mail amending this Agreement pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section must be assented to by PRODUCER’s Authorized Representative and RGAND’s President, VP of PRODUCER Relations, or Counsel.
41) Survival
The terms in the sections of this Agreement titled “Ownership of Goods”, “Taxes”, “Compliance”, “Authorized Representative”, “Abandonment”, “Limitation of Liability”, “Choice of Law”, “Jurisdiction and Venue”, “Confidentiality”, “Security Interest and Default”, “Indemnification”, “Post-Termination Procedures”, and “Notice” shall survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement.
42) Headings
The headings used in the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits are for convenience of reference only and shall not modify, define, or limit any of the provisions thereof.
43) Relationships with Carriers
RGAND is solely responsible for its relationships and accounts with Carriers. PRODUCER shall never represent to a Carrier that PRODUCER represents RGAND or that services provided to PRODUCER by a Carrier should be charged to RGAND’s account with a Carrier. Any refunds or claims paid by a Carrier to RGAND shall remain the property of RGAND, except for those amounts to be subsequently paid to PRODUCER as described in the section of this Agreement titled “Declared Value Coverage”.
44) Food Products
To the extent PRODUCER’s Goods are Food Products, defined as human food, animal food, drinks, or dietary supplements, then PRODUCER shall properly prepare, package, seal, and label all of their Food Products. Packaging must keep food from contamination, spoiling, melting, and damage. If RGAND receives any Food Products which violate these requirements, then RGAND will immediately refuse the Goods and return them to the freight carrier, or alternatively, RGAND will quarantine the Goods in sealed bins at our Facilities and subsequently dispose of them or return them to the PRODUCER, in RGAND’s sole discretion. PRODUCER’S Food Products must have adequate shelf life and stability, they must be labeled with expiration dates or use-by dates, and PRODUCER must upload said dates to the System.
45) Choice of Law
The Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits shall be construed under the laws and the case history of the State of Florida. Should the laws of any other nation, state, intergovernmental organization, or treaty apply, and conflict with Florida law, it is agreed that Florida law will control.
46) Assignment
Neither Party to the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits may assign, transfer, or sell its rights or obligations under the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits at any time without the prior written consent of the other Party; any assignment, transfer, or sale made without the prior written consent of the other Party shall be void and have no effect on this Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits.
47) Jurisdiction and Venue
Any legal actions arising from the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits must be filed within a court located in Broward County, Florida. Any legal action filed within any other jurisdiction shall be immediately removed to a court within Broward County, Florida and the Party that initially filed the legal action outside Broward County, Florida shall reimburse the other Party and its owners, agents, officers, and employees for any costs they may each incur in defending against the legal action or effecting its removal until such time that the legal action is properly filed within a court located in Broward County, Florida. If any legal action, including an action for declaratory relief, is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of the Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits, the prevailing Party by entry of a judgment in its favor conclusively resolving the legal action will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be set by the court in the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, in addition to any other relief to which that Party may be entitled.
48) Exhibits and Additional Terms
All exhibits referenced within this Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and shall be considered as part of this Agreement.
49) Confidentiality
RGAND takes all clients’ privacy very seriously. Without first obtaining the express written permission of PRODUCER, RGAND shall never discuss, publish, disseminate, release, share, or otherwise disclose to any third party any Confidential Information about PRODUCER, except information necessary to calculate and validate commissions paid to affiliated or third-party sales entities. As a result of this Agreement, PRODUCER will be provided with Confidential Information about RGAND to include information PRODUCER may observe while touring RGAND’s high-security Facilities. Without first obtaining the express written permission of RGAND, PRODUCER shall never discuss, publish, disseminate, release, share, or otherwise disclose to anyone other than PRODUCER’s own management team any Confidential Information about RGAND or other clients of RGAND, to include but not be limited to the kinds or types of goods that RGAND stores at the Facilities. Notwithstanding the above, RGAND may discuss, disseminate, release, share, or otherwise disclose Confidential Information about PRODUCER, without PRODUCER’s express written permission, so long as the third-party receipt of such Confidential Information is necessary to allow RGAND to perform and/or optimize the Fulfillment Services, and such third party is also under an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information provided to such third party by RGAND.
50) Indemnification
PRODUCER shall indemnify, hold harmless, release, and pay to defend RGAND, and its respective owners, officers, employees, agents, and affiliated entities, from and against (but not limited to) any and all threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigatory, and any resulting damages, fines, penalties, judgments, taxes, liens, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), or interest (collectively “Damages”), arising from or related to PRODUCER’s breach of this Agreement, RGAND’s actions or failure to act based upon on the instructions of an Authorized Representative, or arising from or related to the PRODUCER’s Goods, unless such Damages arose solely from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of RGAND.
51) Payment Default
To be clear, PRODUCER’s failure to pay any amount owing under this Agreement by such time that such payment is due will constitute PRODUCER’s immediate breach of this Agreement and its accompanying Exhibits and will allow RGAND to stop providing Fulfillment Services at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately without the necessity of providing a thirty (30) day notice, and to exercise its remedies under the section of this Agreement titled “Security Interest and Default”.
52) 30-Day Termination
Either Party may terminate the Agreement with or without cause by providing the other Party with written notice of termination. This Agreement shall thereafter be deemed to have terminated at 11:59 PM on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the day such notice of termination was given at which time no further Orders may be submitted by PRODUCER and RGAND will not be required to provide further Fulfillment Services.
53) Post-Termination Procedures
Upon termination of this Agreement RGAND shall, within five (5) Normal Business Days of such termination, provide PRODUCER with a final invoice for all amounts owing under this Agreement plus the amount RGAND estimates will be charged to place any remaining Goods on Pallets and to ship the same to PRODUCER; PRODUCER shall pay such final invoice within three (3) Normal Business Days of receiving the same. Within three (3) Normal Business Days of receiving full payment for the final invoice, RGAND shall commence preparing up to twenty (20) pallets of Goods per Normal Business Day for shipment to PRODUCER. PRODUCER shall then arrange for a freight trucking company to retrieve such Goods within three (3) days of such time the Goods are made available for shipment.
54) Non-Solicitation of Producers
The Parties agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement, PRODUCER may not, without the prior written consent of RGAND, knowingly solicit any of RGAND’s Partners to retain them as a partner or affiliate of the PRODUCER. Provided, however, that this section shall not prohibit PRODUCER from engaging in its standard marketing and advertising practices, which are not explicitly aimed, or reaching, or soliciting engagement with RGAND’s Partners; nor shall it prevent PRODUCER from retaining others as a partner if PRODUCER initiates contact with them after the expiration of this Agreement.
End of Fulfillment Services and Storage Agreement for PRODUCERS
BUYER Purchases
If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service (“Purchase”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete.
The service may employ the use of third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of Purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected
Payment Methods and Definitions
Accepted Credit Cards (Preferred Method)
All orders must be placed online through our checkout process. We accept all major credit cards, including Master Card, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Only a single credit card may be used to process the order.
Payment Processing
We may use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account, such as your bank account or debit or credit card, linked to your account on the Services (your “Billing Account”). The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use for-fee Services or purchase products, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Services or purchase of such products in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method.
Security
Rgand does not handle “Card Data” (defined as a cardholder’s account number, expiration date and CVV2) as we do NOT receive or store cardholder data. We provide a checkout page which sends “Card Data” to Rgand’s payment processors directly at time of checkout processing. Rgand then receives a token which represents the Card Data but does not contain the Primary Account Number. We use this token to perform charge processing, and never receive, store, or use Card Data to perform processing.
Stripe Payments
We accept payment via Stripe on our website as an additional payment option. A major credit card is still required to complete the transaction, as we do not accept gift cards, store cards, or account credits associated with your Stripe accounts. Additional information about Stripe policies and payment processing can be found at:
- Stripe, Inc.; https://stripe.com/us/legal
Purchase Orders
We are unable to accept Purchase Orders as a form of payment since we update our pricing in real time and do not rely on quoted prices. All orders must be placed online and paid for in full at the time of purchase.
Charges and Authorizations
Your card will be charged in full once the first item(s) on your order ship. When you place an order on our website, an authorization is placed on your bank account for the amount of your order. An authorization is a communication from your bank to our payment system, letting us know your card is valid, and the required funds are available. These authorizations may show as “pending” on your bank statement until the funds are captured. Once the card is charged for the order, the authorization will drop off from your bank statement, typically within 1-2 business days.
Credit and debit card providers differ in how long they will hold an authorization for a pending transaction. If your order has an extended lead time, a member of our Payments team may reach out requesting to charge the card in advance to avoid losing the authorization. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. Authorizations and/or pending transactions will hold these funds on your bank account, which can result in overdraft fees. Rgand assumes no liability for fees in the event of such an overdraft.
Currency
All pricing is listed in the US Dollars ($) on the website.
Recurring Billing
Some of the for-fee Services and product purchases may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO ACCOUNT PAGE.
Auto-Renewal for Subscription Services
Unless you opt out of auto-renewal, which can be done through your account settings, any subscription services or purchases you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or resign your subscription services at any time, go to account settings. If you terminate a subscription service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.

2. The Rgand sales fee for any orders placed on the Rgand website is set at fifteen percent (15%) of the purchase amount.
3. Rgand requires a one-time deposit in the amount of five hundred US dollars ($500 USD) when you activate your account to cover any shipping or delivery costs.

Modification of account status
(A) Rgand reserves the right to suspend PRODUCER’s account (an “Account”) for the following reasons, including, but not limited to: (i) unpaid Fees; (ii) suspicious activity on or throughout the Account; (iii) using abusive or threatening language; (iv) resolution of a third-party complaint of a violation of this Agreement; or (v) resolution of an unauthorized transaction, BUYER complaint, dispute or accusation.
(B) If PRODUCER does not pay all Fees owed within thirty (30) days’ notice of any unpaid Fees, then Rgand reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reclassify an Account as an “Abandoned Account”. Additionally, any unpaid Fees that remain unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days will automatically cause an account to be deemed an Abandoned Account. Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, all rights to ownership of PRODUCER’s goods and the account balance will be forfeited by PRODUCER. The goods will become immediately and irrevocably unavailable, and, at Rgand’s sole discretion, liquidation proceedings would begin. PRODUCER agrees to have no rights to the liquidation proceeds. PRODUCER agrees that the goods would be free and clear of liability, and that PRODUCER would assume any liability thereof. PRODUCER will also remain liable for any unpaid Fees and associated penalties above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.

Each party acknowledges that any disclosure of another’s Confidential Information other than as specifically provided herein will be wrongful and will cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and, therefore, each party agrees to hold the other’s Confidential Information in strictest confidence and not to make use of it other than as specifically provided herein. Each party shall protect the confidential and proprietary nature of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in at least the same manner and extent that it protects the confidential and proprietary nature of its own Confidential Information of like kind.
