Terms of Service

1. About the platform

Legit Bape is an online marketplace operated by K-DEV Solutions LLC where users can buy and sell authenticated clothing and accessories. Every listing is photo-reviewed by our expert team before going live. K-DEV Solutions LLC acts as an intermediary facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers. K-DEV Solutions LLC is not the seller of the items listed on the platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If we discover that a user is under 18, we reserve the right to immediately delete their account.

3. Your account

• You must provide accurate, complete information when creating your account.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
• You may not create accounts for others, transfer accounts, or create a new account after suspension without express authorization.
• Report any suspicious activity on your account immediately to: support@legitbape.com
• You may close your account at any time through your account settings.
• We reserve the right to close accounts inactive for more than 365 days after email notification.

4. Listing and selling

• Sellers must provide accurate photos and descriptions of items. Misrepresentation may result in account suspension.
• All listings are subject to our photo-based legit check review. Items that fail authentication are rejected and will not be listed.
• Listings must comply with all applicable laws. Counterfeit items, stolen goods, and prohibited items may not be listed.
• Listing an item is free. A 4.99% commission is deducted from the sale price when an item sells.
• Sellers ship directly to buyers. Sellers set a shipping price for each region they ship to; the buyer pays it at checkout and it goes to the seller. Sellers must use a tracked shipping service.
• Payouts are initiated 3 days after the buyer confirms receipt, or after the order is confirmed automatically 4 weeks after shipping (never less than 7 days after delivery), via Stripe Connect or, where Stripe cannot pay out to your country, PayPal or another licensed payout provider.

5. Buying

• All items displayed on the platform have been photo-reviewed by our authentication team.
• Buyers pay the item price, shipping and a service fee of 4.99% of the item price (a minimum may apply, mostly on low-priced items, depending on the payment method and the seller's country). The exact amount is always shown before payment. Payments are processed by Stripe (cards), Antom / Alipay+ (local e-wallets such as GCash, LINE Pay or DANA) or, where offered, PayPal.
• Prices are displayed in USD. A local e-wallet is charged in its own currency, converted from the USD total at the day’s rate plus a small conversion margin, shown before you pay. International card buyers may see currency conversion charges on their statement.
• Each listing represents a unique physical item. Starting payment reserves it for you while you pay: up to one hour by card, up to three hours with PayPal.
• Orders are confirmed only once the payment processor confirms the payment to us directly, never on the strength of a browser redirect.

6. Authentication and legit check

Our authentication process consists of a photo-based review by our expert team, drawn from the BAPE LEGIT CHECK WORLDWIDE community of 100k+ members. We review submitted photos for authenticity (tags, stitching, labels, hardware), condition grading accuracy, description accuracy, and correct size labeling. This is a photo review: items are not physically shipped to us for inspection.

7. Returns and disputes

• If an item does not arrive, or arrives materially different from the listing (wrong size, undisclosed damage, worse condition than described, or suspected counterfeit), report it from the order page before confirming receipt, or within 3 days after confirming. Buyers are reminded 14 and 21 days after shipping; without an answer, the order is confirmed automatically 4 weeks after shipping. One claim per order.
• We will review the claim and issue a full refund if valid.
• If a sale is refunded, the buyer is refunded in full, service fee included, and the 4.99% seller commission is returned. Payment processing fees may be non-refundable. Wallet payments are refunded in the currency you paid in.
• We handle all payment disputes on behalf of sellers using our authentication records as evidence.

8. Prohibited conduct

When using the platform, you may not:

• Threaten, harass, degrade, or intimidate other users
• Post defamatory, fraudulent, or offensive content
• Transmit viruses or any harmful code
• Disrupt the performance or operation of the platform
• Use data mining tools, robots, or scrapers without written consent
• List counterfeit, stolen, or prohibited items
• Circumvent the authentication process
• Create multiple accounts without express authorization
• Complete transactions outside the platform to avoid fees
• Reverse-engineer or decompile any part of the platform

Zero tolerance. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users, on the website or in the app. Any member can report a listing from its page, report a member from a conversation, and block a member: a blocked member can no longer message you, make you an offer or buy your items. Our team reviews every report within 24 hours, removes the offending content and suspends or closes the accounts responsible.

9. Fees and payments

• Sellers: Free to list. 4.99% commission deducted from the sale price when an item sells.
• Buyers: A service fee of 4.99% of the item price is added at checkout. A minimum may apply, mostly on low-priced items, depending on the payment method and the seller's country. The exact amount is always shown before payment.
• Card data is never stored by K-DEV Solutions LLC. All card processing is performed by licensed payment providers.
• We reserve the right to modify our fees. Changes apply only to future transactions and will be communicated in advance.

Limited payment collection agent. By listing an item, each Seller appoints K-DEV Solutions LLC as its limited payment collection agent for the sole purpose of accepting payment from Buyers on the Seller’s behalf. Payment made by a Buyer to K-DEV Solutions LLC is treated as payment made directly to the Seller, and discharges the Buyer’s payment obligation to the Seller in full, in the amount paid, regardless of whether K-DEV Solutions LLC has yet remitted those funds to the Seller. K-DEV Solutions LLC is responsible for remitting those funds to the Seller in accordance with these Terms. The Seller must make the item available to the Buyer as if the Seller had received payment directly.

How you are paid. Payouts are remitted through licensed third-party payment providers, selected according to the Seller’s country. Sellers in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, Canada and Switzerland are paid via Stripe Connect. Sellers in the countries PayPal Payouts serves, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, are paid to the PayPal account they designate. Sellers elsewhere are paid through another licensed payout provider (Payoneer). Sellers must complete that provider’s identity verification before any payout can be released. K-DEV Solutions LLC does not hold Seller funds as a deposit and pays no interest on amounts held pending remittance.
