Last Updated: November 17th, 2025

Welcome to Fold. We (“Fold”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) hope you find the platform useful. By accessing or interacting with our website, mobile application (“App”), servers, or any associated services, listings, or content (collectively, “Fold”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“TOS”).

If you are using Fold on behalf of a business or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this TOS. If you do not agree to the TOS, you are not authorized to use Fold or download the App.

We may modify the TOS at any time, at our sole discretion. You are responsible for reviewing updates. Continued use of Fold constitutes acceptance of the revised TOS. Our Privacy Policy, Prohibited Items/Content Policy, and any other rules or policies referenced on Fold are incorporated into this TOS.

Transactions happen off-platform and between buyers and sellers directly.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Fold does not broker transactions, handle goods, or certify seller claims.

  • Fold does not verify compliance with federal or state laws regarding animals, raw milk, eggs, meat, or other regulated products.

  • Users are 100% responsible for ensuring their own compliance with USDA, state agricultural departments, raw milk laws, transport regulations, and all other relevant legal requirements.

Fold may moderate, remove, block, re-categorize, delay, or restrict content or accounts at our discretion. Nothing we say or do limits our right to moderate (or not).

4. FEES

Certain listings or features may require paid fees.
By submitting a paid posting, you authorize us to charge your account.

  • All fees are non-refundable, including for moderated or removed posts.
