Insurance Submission Process

Proof of insurance (e.g., a certificate of insurance showing coverage limits and effective dates) must be uploaded via the Amerili vendor dashboard, during onboarding or within 30 days of your first sale, whichever is sooner. Vendors are responsible for ensuring coverage remains active and must provide updated proof upon Amerili’s request, such as in cases of policy renewal or changes in sales volume. Failure to submit valid proof of insurance when requested may result in immediate suspension of listings or account termination. Amerili may not routinely monitor insurance status but reserves the right to verify compliance at any time.

Seller Liability and Insurance Requirements

The Vendor agrees to maintain appropriate insurance coverage for all products sold through Amerili.com. This includes, but is not limited to, Product Liability Insurance, which must cover claims of injury, property damage, or loss arising from the use or sale of the Vendor’s products.

Amerili LLC requires Product Liability Insurance coverage based on the Vendor’s annual gross sales through the Amerili platform:

• Vendors with annual gross sales under $50,000 are required to maintain a minimum of $150,000 per occurrence in Product Liability Insurance.
  
• Vendors with annual gross sales of $50,000 or more are required to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence in Product Liability Insurance.
  
  Amerili LLC reserves the right to request proof of insurance (e.g., a certificate of insurance) at any time, such as during onboarding or upon changes in sales volume. Proof must be uploaded via the vendor dashboard. Failure to provide valid proof when requested may result in immediate suspension of listings or account termination.
  
  The Vendor further agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Amerili.com, its owners, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or related to:
  
• Any defect, failure, or alleged hazard associated with the Vendor’s products;
  
• Any claim that the Vendor’s product caused personal injury or property damage;
  
• Any violation of laws, regulations, or safety standards applicable to the Vendor’s products.

Ratings, Feedback, and Reviews

You may not attempt to influence or inflate customers’ ratings, feedback, and reviews. You may request feedback and reviews from your own customers in a neutral manner, but may not:

• Pay for or offer an incentive (such as coupons or free products) in exchange for providing or removing feedback or reviews
  
• Ask customers to write only positive reviews or ask them to remove or change a review
  
• Solicit reviews only from customers who had a positive experience
  
• Review your own products or a competitors’ products

Communications
You may not send unsolicited or inappropriate messages. All communications to customers must be sent through Buyer-Seller Messaging and be necessary for fulfilling the order or providing customer services. Marketing communications are prohibited.

Customer Information
If you receive customer information such as addresses or phone numbers to fulfill orders, you may use that information only to fulfill orders and must delete it after the order has been processed. You may not use customer information to contact customers (except through Buyer-Seller Messaging) or share it with any third-party.

Circumventing the Sales Process
You may not attempt to circumvent the Amerili sales process or divert Amerili customers to another website. This means that you may not provide links or messages that prompt users to visit any external website or complete a transaction elsewhere.

Filing Infringement Notices as an Agent or Brand Protection Agency
Amerili understands that many brands may choose to have brand protection agencies or agents report intellectual property infringement on their behalf and accepts submissions from authorized agents. However, Amerili does not permit individuals with active selling accounts to file infringement notices as an agent of a brand when the filing of those notices could benefit their own selling account (through removing competing listings, for example). Any sellers filing notices as an agent to benefit their own status as a seller may have their selling account suspended or terminated.
