Subject to section 2.1(2):
The person signing up for the service by opening an account will be the contracting party ("Store Owner") for the purposes of our Terms of Service and will be the person authorized to use any corresponding account provided in connection with the service. You are responsible for ensuring that the store owner's name (including the legal name of the company that owns the store, if applicable) is clearly visible on the store's website.
If you are signing up for the services on behalf of your employer, your employer shall be the store owner. You must use your employer-issued email address and declare and warrant that you have the authority to bind your employer to our Terms of Service.
Your Robinson Empire Store can only be associated with one store owner. A store owner may have multiple Robinson Empire Stores. "Store" means the online store or physical retail location(s) associated with the account.

Based on your Robinson Empire pricing plan, you can create one or more staff accounts ("Staff Accounts"), allowing other people to access the account. With Staff Accounts, the Store Owner can set permissions and determine the level of access of Staff Accounts to specific business information ^{(for example, you can limit Staff Account access to sales information on the Reports page or prevent Staff Accounts from changing general store settings).}.
The Store Owner is responsible and liable for the acts, omissions, and defaults arising from the use of Staff Accounts as if they were the Store Owner's own acts, omissions, or defaults. The Store Owner and the users of Staff Accounts are each referred to as a "Robinson Empire User."
Robinson Empire Accounts Payment
Upon registration, you provide banking information needed for Robinson Empire to pay vendors. Vendors cannot create their own payment gateways such as PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay on the platform. Vendors can set up weekly payment withdrawals on their portal during registration.

Upon purchasing a domain name through Robinson Empire, domain registration will be preset to automatically renew each year as long as your Robinson Empire Account remains active. It is your sole responsibility to deactivate the auto-renewal function if you choose to do so.

You must read, agree, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms of Service, including the AUP, the Privacy Policy, and, if you operate an EU-based Store, the EU Terms, before you may become a Robinson Empire User.
Additionally, you acknowledge and agree to the Rules of Engagement for the Sale of COVID-19 Related Products if you sell such products.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the service, use of the services, or access to the services without the express written permission of Robinson Empire.
You shall not purchase search engine keywords, or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google Ads), or domain names that use Robinson Empire or Robinson Empire trademarks and/or variations and misspellings thereof.
