Last Updated: February 19, 2026
Welcome to Shop Wyoming, operated by Member Marketplace, Inc. (the “Company” or “Marketplace”).
By accessing the Marketplace application or its website located at shopwyoming.com, whether through a mobile device, mobile application, or computer (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (this “Agreement”), whether or not you create a Marketplace account.
Your use of the Service is also subject to the Marketplace Privacy Policy and any applicable Buyer or Seller policies, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. If you do not agree to all terms, you may not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
This Agreement is a legally binding electronic contract governing your use of the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and consent to receive notices electronically.
The Company may update these Terms at any time by posting revised Terms on the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. Eligibility and Lawful Use
You represent and warrant that:
• You have the legal authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement

3. Accounts, Termination, and Data Retention
This Agreement remains in effect while you use the Service.
The Company may suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms or to protect the integrity of the marketplace.
Business accounts may be cancelled by emailing info@shopwyoming.com. Closing an account removes listings from public view. Sellers are responsible for exporting their records prior to closure.
The Company may retain transactional, financial, or operational records as required for legal, tax, fraud prevention, security, or system integrity purposes.
4. Seller Eligibility and Marketplace Criteria
All businesses wishing to sell on Shop Wyoming must:
• Maintain a physical presence in Wyoming, including a storefront or home-based business
• Sell products or services directly associated with their business brand
• Complete registration and receive approval before listing items
A mailing address or registered agent address alone does not qualify as a Wyoming presence.
The Company reserves the right to approve, deny, suspend, or remove any business or listing at its discretion.
5. Prohibited and Restricted Products
The following may not be listed or sold on the Marketplace:
• Weapons, hazardous materials, or recalled items

• Third-party resale or direct-sales brand products not owned by the Seller
• Overtly political campaign merchandise
• Any items restricted by payment processors or applicable law
The Company may remove any listing that violates these Terms or harms the marketplace.
6. Payment Processing
Payment processing services for transactions conducted through the Service are provided by third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal. The Company is not responsible for errors, service interruptions, account holds, payment disputes, or delays caused by such providers. Sellers agree to comply with the applicable terms of the payment processor they choose to use.
Stripe is the preferred payment provider and may be required for transactions above certain thresholds. Sellers offering items with higher price points may be required to connect to Stripe to receive payouts at the time of purchase. Sellers offering lower-priced items may be permitted to use alternative payment methods such as PayPal, which may include additional per-order processing charges.
Payment requirements, thresholds, fees, and available payout methods are subject to change at the Company’s discretion with reasonable notice.
7. Taxes and Reporting
Marketplace facilitator laws may require the Service to collect and remit sales tax in certain jurisdictions. Where applicable, the Service may calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on behalf of Sellers in accordance with those laws. Sellers remain responsible for ensuring their tax information, product classifications, and reporting obligations are accurate and compliant with all applicable tax laws.
Sellers may receive IRS Form 1099-K from payment processors where applicable, depending on transaction thresholds established by law.
