These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Destash Rocks LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Destash Rocks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this platform. By using Destash Rocks, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PLATFORM

Destash Rocks is a peer-to-peer online marketplace that enables individual collectors to list, buy, and sell mineral specimens, crystals, fossils, and related items from their personal collections. Destash Rocks is a platform provider only. We are not a buyer, seller, broker, or dealer. We do not take title to any items listed on the platform at any time.

3. ELIGIBILITY

3.1 Buyers

Anyone 18 years of age or older may create an account and purchase items on Destash Rocks. There are no restrictions on who may buy.

3.2 Sellers

Selling on Destash Rocks is limited to individual collectors rehoming items from their personal collections. The following are not permitted to sell on this platform:

  • Professional dealers, mineral shops, or retail businesses
  • Wholesale or commercial inventory operations
  • Drop-shippers or resellers of wholesale goods
  • Any entity selling items not from a personal collection

By listing an item, you represent and warrant that you are an individual person selling from your personal collection and that you are not operating as a commercial dealer or business.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at lovingthyselfrocks@gmail.com of any unauthorized use of your account.

4.3 One Account Per Person

You may only maintain one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, bans, or fee structures is prohibited and will result in permanent removal from the platform.

4.4 Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or for any conduct we determine is harmful to the platform or its users.

5. LISTING REQUIREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

5.1 Mandatory Disclosure

Every listing on Destash Rocks must include a complete and accurate disclosure of the item's formation type and any treatments it has received. This disclosure is built into the listing form and cannot be skipped. Sellers who attempt to circumvent the disclosure system will have their listings removed and their accounts suspended.

5.2 Formation Disclosure

Sellers must accurately disclose whether each item is:

  • Natural — formed in the earth through geological processes
  • Lab grown — created in a laboratory

5.3 Treatment Disclosure

Sellers must disclose all applicable treatments, including but not limited to:

  • Unenhanced (no treatments applied)
  • Heated
  • Dyed

  • Repaired
  • Reconstructed
  • Aura coated
  • Irradiated
  • Oiled
  • Coated
  • Resin filled
  • Other (with description)

5.4 Honest Uncertainty

If a seller is uncertain whether an item has been treated, they must disclose that uncertainty in the listing. Stating “treatment unknown” or “I was told it is natural but cannot confirm” is acceptable. Knowingly misrepresenting an item is a material violation of these Terms.

5.5 Photos

Listing photos must accurately represent the actual item being sold. Stock photos, photos of similar items, or photos that misrepresent the item's condition, size, or appearance are prohibited.

5.6 Pricing

Sellers set their own prices. Destash Rocks does not regulate pricing but reserves the right to remove listings that appear fraudulent or designed to manipulate the platform.

5.7 Return Policy

Sellers must select a return policy for each listing at the time of posting. Available options are: No returns, Returns within 7 days of delivery, or Returns within 14 days of delivery. The return policy selected at time of listing is binding for that transaction.

7. FEES AND PAYMENTS

7.1 Platform Fee

Destash Rocks charges a platform fee of 10% of the final sale price (excluding shipping) on each completed transaction. This fee is deducted from the seller's payout.

7.2 Payment Processing

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. Stripe charges approximately 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. These fees are separate from and in addition to the Destash Rocks platform fee.

7.3 Payouts

Seller payouts are released 3 business days after confirmed delivery of the item to the buyer. Payouts are made directly to the seller's connected bank account via Stripe.

7.4 Founding Seller Fee Waiver

Sellers designated as Founding Sellers receive a 0% platform fee on their first 3 completed sales. Standard payment processing fees (~2.9% + $0.30) still apply to Founding Seller transactions. The fee waiver is non-transferable and applies only to the designated account.

7.5 Refunds and Chargebacks

If a buyer initiates a chargeback through their bank or credit card issuer, the associated transaction will be reversed and the seller may be responsible for the chargeback fee imposed by Stripe. Destash Rocks will cooperate with dispute resolution processes but is not responsible for chargeback outcomes.
