2. Plunderhere.com
serves only as a Venue
*******************************************
Although we are commonly referred to as an online auction
web site, it is important to realize that we are not a traditional
"auctioneer." The Site acts as a venue to allow members our services
to buy and sell in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format
commonly referred to as "Buy Now" auctions 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 pay for items. We
cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to
the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions
of PlunderHere.com, under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon
physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller.
Plunderhere.com is an Internet site in which registered
users post ads offering merchandise which they possess and wish to sell in an
open auction environment. Registered users may also bid on or buy such
merchandise. At no time does Plunderhere.com possess, hold, or offer any
merchandise for sale or auction, nor are we involved in any part of the actual
transaction. Plunderhere.com serves only as a venue in which individual sellers
and buyers may engage in transactions between each other. Because of our
non-involvement in these transactions, it is the sole responsibility of the
seller to accurately represent the quantity, quality, safety, authenticity, and
availability of the items the seller has listed on the site. Further, it is the
responsibility of the bidder/buyer to verify with the seller any or all
information about any item listed on Plunderhere.com, for which they intend on
placing a bid, before placing such bid. Plunderhere.com can not be responsible
for a seller’s willingness or ability to sell any item they have listed, or a
Bidders willingness to follow through with a transaction for an item(s) for
which they have placed a bid. We encourage open communication between buyers
and sellers before and after any transaction takes place.
3. User Verification
**************************
We use many techniques to verify the accuracy of the
information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However,
because of difficulties involved with verification over the Internet, Plunderhere.com
is unable to guarantee that a user is who they may claim to be. If you are
uncertain as to another user’s identity, we suggest that you contact them. You
may also review any member’s feedback profile to see what others have said
about dealing with them.
All sellers MUST be verified in order to
sell here.
4. Disputes and
Release
**************************
Because Plunderhere.com has no involvement in transactions
between users, we cannot get involved in disputes between users. You hereby
release Plunderhere.com, including all officers, employees, parent companies,
contractors, suppliers, or agents from any and all liability of damages or
claims resulting from such disputes.
5. Uploading Images
on Plunderhere.com
*******************************************
Your images are your property however we will add a
watermark to each image to prevent our listings being taken and added to other
sites. If you use these same images on any other site it is your responsibility
to redo them or remove the watermark and Plunderhere.com will not be held
responsible for any adverse attention you may get if you do upload images containing
the Plunderhere logo/watermark to other sites outside of the Plunderhere.com
network.
Also from time to time we may wish to use an image in our
advertising and may select one or more of our user’s images for such purposes.
You hereby agree that whilst you are a member of Plunderhere.com we may use any
and all images for the purpose of promotions or other similar non harmful
activity.
6. Placing Bids
******************
By placing a bid on an item(s) listed on Plunderhere.com,
you are stating that you have the ability and intention to purchase the item
for the amount of your bid, should the auction end and you are the high bidder.
In the case of a reserve auction, if your bid meets or exceeds the sellers
stated reserve price, you agree to purchase the item(s) for the amount of your
winning bid.
Before placing a bid in an auction, verify that you
understand all terms and conditions of the sale as indicated by the seller.
Placing a bid is considered a legal, binding contract in most states. If you
have any questions about an item, or the seller offering the item, you should
ask the seller before placing your bid.
Only in certain situations would bid withdrawal/retraction
be acceptable. These situations may include:
a) The seller has made material changes to the description
of the item after your bid was placed.
b) The seller has made a typographical error in the
description of the item.
c) You have contacted the seller and received their express
permission to withdraw your bid.
Bidders may not
engage in the following activity:
a) Bidding in a manner that causes the maximum bid of other
bidders to be revealed, then retract your high bid, and bid again at a lower
increment above the true high bidder.
b) Placing bids for the purpose of exposing the seller’s
reserve price then retract your bid and bid again later with a secondary User
ID.
c) Bidding on any item that you do not have the intention or
means to purchase at the close of the auction, should your high bid cause you
to win the auction. You are encouraged to ask the seller of an item listed on Plunderhere.com
any questions you may have regarding the sale of or condition of the item
before placing your bid.
d) By placing a bid, you further state that the purchase
and/or delivery of the item does not violate any local, state or federal laws,
regulations or guidelines regarding the sale or distribution of such item(s).
7. Fees and Charges
***********************
The listing fee for posting an item on Plunderhere.com is
100% FREE. There is, however, a nominal charge for other auction posting
features such as featured item listings, attention grabbers, bold listings,
etc., should you wish to use them. Plunderhere imposes a low 2.50% final value
fee on all items sold. This amount will be automatically debited to your
account and you will be sent a monthly invoice via email showing your account status.
A negative balance indicates money owed on your account. A positive balance
indicates credit available to you for posting items for auction and our other
services. Should this payment not be made, your account will be suspended until
payment is received, and posted to your account. Payments can be made through a
variety of payment options", which is our preferred method, or if you so
desire, you can send a check or money order to us. Please realize however, that
this method of payment may delay your ability to continue posting auctions
until your payment is received, processed, and posted to your account.
Another method of paying off your account debit is by using
your account credits. These credits are automatically deducted from your
account balance. However, these credits have a ZERO cash value, and cannot be
refunded as cash. You may also wish to make a payment ABOVE your amount owed,
which you may do at any time, and the amount will show as a CREDIT amount in
your account.
Please refer to our Site Fees page for additional
information on our fee structure.
