- auctions.allproducts.com Online Digital
Marketplace Is a Venue
3.1 Overview. auctions.allproducts.com acts as the venue for
our members to buy and sell products through our on-line digital marketplace.
auctions.allproducts.com does not take ownership of any merchandise
sold through the auctions.allproducts.com Online Digital Marketplace
or to have any liability arising out of or in connection with the obligations
of either Seller or Buyer, or in connection with any sale through the
auctions.allproducts.com Online Digital Marketplace. This agreement
shall not be deemed to create any partnership, joint venture, or other
joint business relationship between auctions.allproducts.com and any
other party.
3.2 auctions.allproducts.com is Neutral. auctions.allproducts.com
is not a party to any purchase or sale. As a result, we have no control
over and are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or condition
of the items listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings (or associated
uploaded files), or the ability or capacity of any Buyer or Seller to
participate in the transactions. We cannot and do not control whether
Sellers will complete the sale of items they offer or whether Buyers
will complete the purchase of items on which they agree to purchase.
In addition, you may face additional risks of dealing with foreign nationals,
underage persons, or people acting under false pretense. We plan to
establish a feedback system to help you better evaluate the Buyers and
Sellers on the auctions.allproducts.com Site. However, the feedback
system is not foolproof, so we encourage you to act with due care.

more users, you release us from claims, demands, and damages (actual,
