We agree to provide you with the platform to create, maintain, and manage your individual online storefront and to sell your handmade, artistic, and/or collectible items. From time to time, the platform would undergo changes and update to keep up with technology and may remove some functionality no longer technically supported. In turn, we may update the platform to add newer technology to enhance the user experience and user interfaces. These updates will occur as often as we deem necessary to keep the platform at the optimized performance level.
The services also include the functionality for marketing your stores and products across the various social platforms with which we select to engage.
