- This auction is a Venue.
3.1 This auction is not an Auctioneer. Instead, our site acts as a venue
to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety
of pricing formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to
as "online auctions" or "auctions." We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and
sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items
advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the
ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a
transaction. 3.2 Identity Verification. We use many techniques to identify our users when
they register on our site. However, because user verification on the Internet is
difficult, this auction cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity.
We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools
available on our site. 3.3 Release. Because we are a venue, in the event that you
have a dispute with one or more users, you release this (and our officers, directoRS, agents,
subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and
consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and
undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. 3.5 Information
Control. We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available
through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or
deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our site. Please
note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false
pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign
nationals. - Bidding and
Buying.
As a buyer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller:
- if you purchase an item through one of our fixed price formats; or
- are the highest
bidder at the end of an auction (meeting the applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and
your bid is accepted by the seller, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by this
Agreement.
By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included
in the item's description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement
or unlawful. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances, such as: when the seller
materially changes the item's description after you bid; a clear typographical error is made; you
cannot authenticate the seller's identity; or when the seller does not confirm your purchase. If you
choose to bid on mature audience items or items that are restricted to adult use, you are certifying
that you have the legal right to purchase such items. - Listing and Selling.
5.1 Listing Description. You must be
legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on our site. You must describe your item and all
terms of sale on the listing page of our site. Your listings may only include text descriptions,
graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All listed items must be
listed in an appropriate category. 5.2
Binding Bids. If you receive at least one bid at or above your stated minimum price (or in the
case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), you are obligated as the seller to
complete the transaction with the highest bidder upon the auction's completion, unless there is an
exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as
payment term), or (b) you cannot authenticate the buyer's identity. 5.3 Fraud. Without
limiting any other remedies, this auction may suspend or terminate your account if we
suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or investigation, or otherwise) have
engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site. 5.4 Manipulation. Neither
you, bidders nor sellers may manipulate the price of any item nor may you interfere with other
user's listings or transactions. - Your Information.

you may not list any item on the site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our
service) that, by paying to us the listing fee or the final value fee, could cause us to violate any
applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation. 6.3 License. Solely to enable this
auction to use the information you supply us with, so that we are not violating any rights you
might have in that information, you agree to grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual,
irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright,
