Terms of Service
Danrian LLC · hello@danrian.com · danrian.com/contact · Rochester, Minnesota, USA
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Danrian platform ("Service") operated by Danrian LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). By registering for an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Danrian is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that automates the posting, monitoring, and management of auction and Buy It Now sales on Facebook Pages. The Service uses the Facebook Graph API to publish posts and read comments on your authorized pages on your behalf.
Danrian is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or otherwise connected to Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Meta" / "Facebook").
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into a binding agreement to use Danrian. You must also have the right to manage the Facebook Page(s) you connect to Danrian.
4. Account Registration
To use the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us immediately at hello@danrian.com of any unauthorized access
5. Subscriptions and Billing
5.1 Free Trial
New accounts may access a 7-day free trial with full access to Service features. No payment method is required to start a trial. Before the trial ends we ask you to add a card for your monthly fee. If no card has been added by the end of the trial, you cannot create new listings until one is; sales already in progress continue to settle, collections and your data are unaffected, and nothing is deleted.
Adding a card does not charge it, except that if a monthly fee is already overdue because an earlier charge failed, we may charge that fee to the card you add. By adding a card you authorize us to charge it for the monthly fees described in section 5.2, on the schedule set out there, until you cancel or replace it. You can change the card in the app, on your Your account screen, at any time.
5.2 Fees
After the free trial, the Service is billed monthly, in arrears. When a calendar month closes, the fee for that month is calculated from the value of the items claimed (Buy It Now) and won (auctions) on Danrian during that calendar month, in your store’s own timezone, at their price before tax, less any you cancel. It counts what was sold, whether or not your buyer has paid yet. The rate schedule published on our Pricing page turns that figure into your fee, subject to a minimum of $29 USD per month. Your first paid month is charged only from the day your paid subscription starts: only sales from that day count, and the minimum is reduced in proportion to the days left in that month, including the day it starts. The month in which you cancel is treated the same way: the minimum is reduced in proportion to the days your subscription was active in that month, including the day you cancel, in your store’s own timezone. If your paid subscription ends within the first 24 hours of a month, counted from midnight at the start of the 1st in your store’s own timezone, that month has no minimum; its sales are still billed in the usual way. If a month’s fee comes to less than $0.50, it is not charged. All fees are in US dollars. Fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as set out in our Refund Policy.
We email you the amount due and the date it will be collected. If you pay by card, it is charged on or after the day after that email. If you pay by ACH bank debit (from a US bank account), it is collected no earlier than 10 days after that email. Either way it is collected through an invoice issued by our payment processor, Stripe. Charges appear on your statement as DANRIAN.
5.3 Price Changes
We may change the rate schedule with at least 30 days’ advance notice by email. A change never applies to a month that has already closed.
5.4 Cancellation
You may cancel at any time through your account. The month in which you cancel is billed after it closes, for the sales in it, with its minimum reduced to the days you were active (section 5.2). No fee is charged for any later month.
5.5 Payment Failure
If a scheduled payment fails, new listings pause until it is paid; live sales, collections and your data are unaffected. We’ll email you, and we may retry the payment. The shop owner can check the card or bank account in the app, on the Your account screen.
5.6 Payments Between You and Your Buyers
Your buyers pay you directly, using your own payment accounts. Danrian does not receive, hold, process or deduct anything from those payments. The only amount Danrian charges you is the monthly fee described in section 5.2.
5.7 Unpaid Fees
Fees for your use of the Service up to the date your account is canceled or terminated remain due and payable, and you authorize us to collect them using your payment method on file. If a fee is not paid when due, we may suspend your ability to create new listings until it is paid, charge interest on the overdue amount at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, refer the debt to a collection agency, and pursue any other remedy available to us by law. You agree to pay our reasonable costs of collection, including collection agency fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
6. Payments, Transactions, and Seller Responsibility
6.1 Danrian Is Not a Payment Processor
Danrian does not process, hold, transfer, or facilitate any payment between sellers and buyers. Danrian is automation software only. All financial transactions occur directly between the seller and their buyers using the seller's own payment accounts (such as Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, Stripe, Square, or cash). Danrian has no access to, custody of, or involvement in any funds exchanged between sellers and buyers. When sellers enable Stripe or Square integration, buyers pay directly into the seller's own connected Stripe or Square account. Danrian generates the payment link but never holds, receives, or has custody of any funds.
6.2 Danrian Is Not a Party to Any Sale
Danrian is a tool that automates the operational tasks of running comment-based sales. Danrian is not a marketplace, broker, auctioneer, agent, or party to any transaction between a seller and a buyer. The existence of an auction or Buy It Now sale within Danrian does not create any relationship between Danrian and any buyer or winner.
6.3 Seller Solely Responsible for Transactions
You, as the seller, are solely and exclusively responsible for:
- The accuracy of all listing descriptions, photos, and pricing
- Fulfilling orders, shipping items, and honoring sales you conduct
- Resolving disputes, complaints, refunds, or chargebacks with your buyers
- Collecting and remitting all applicable sales taxes and fees
- Complying with all consumer protection laws applicable to your sales
- Ensuring you have the right to sell the items you list
- Any consequences arising from non-payment by a buyer
6.4 Buyer Data
In operating your auctions and Buy It Now sales, Danrian processes limited personal data about your buyers (including Facebook display names, user IDs, and comment content) on your behalf as a data processor. You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis to collect and use your buyers' data through the Danrian platform. You agree to maintain an appropriate privacy notice for your buyers.
6.5 No Liability for Transactions
Danrian shall have no liability whatsoever for: any dispute between a seller and a buyer; any failure of a buyer to pay; any failure of a seller to deliver; any loss arising from a fraudulent buyer or seller; any tax liability arising from sales conducted through the Service; or any claim brought by a buyer against a seller. You agree to indemnify and hold Danrian harmless from any claim, loss, or expense arising out of or related to any transaction you conduct using the Service, as further described in Section 17.
6.6 Claims and Winners
Danrian’s automated handling of claims and winners — who claimed a Buy It Now item, and who won an auction — is provided as a convenience tool based on the rules you configure. You are responsible for reviewing claims and winners before completing a sale. Danrian makes no guarantee that this automated handling will be free of errors and shall not be liable for any incorrect claim or winner, or any resulting dispute.

This obligation survives termination of your account. With respect to trade secrets as defined in Section 10.3, this confidentiality obligation is indefinite and does not expire.
You may disclose Confidential Information if required by law or court order, provided you give Danrian prompt written notice and cooperate with any effort to seek a protective order.
12. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13. Service Availability
We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, third-party failures (including Facebook API outages), or events beyond our control.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DANRIAN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DANRIAN AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. IN NO EVENT SHALL DANRIAN'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) $50.
16. Injunctive Relief
You acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 10 (Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets) or 11 (Confidentiality) would cause irreparable harm to Danrian for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, Danrian shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement to post bond or prove actual damages, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
17. Indemnification

18. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Olmsted County, Minnesota, except that Danrian may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 16.
19. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes by email or in-app notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.
