Neither EXHIBITTRADER.COM nor any ExhibitTrader Associate makes any representation or warranty concerning errors, omissions, delays, or other defects in data or other materials supplied to Users, or that Content is free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other codes that include or manifest contaminating or destructive characteristics. Please be diligent in maintaining security.
2. BUYERS, SELLERS, and TRANSACTIONS
2.01 The Website includes a listing and information service that brings together "Buyer(s)" (Person(s) seeking to purchase or rent Product(s) or Service(s) through the Website, other ExhibitTrader Affiliated Site, or another ExhibitTrader Service) and "Seller(s)" (Person(s) providing classified listing(s) ("Listing(s)") for Product(s) or Service(s) through the Website, other ExhibitTrader Affiliated Site, or another ExhibitTrader Service). Just as EXHIBITTRADER.COM cannot make any representations about any Seller, EXHIBITTRADER.COM makes absolutely no guarantee about the creditworthiness of, or source of payment by, any Buyer. When buying or selling, please use common sense and good judgment in transactions relating to Products or Services just as if you were advertising or responding to an advertisement in the classified ads of your newspaper.
2.02 EXHIBITTRADER.COM may charge or receive a "Consignment Fee" from Sellers who advertise Product(s) or Service(s) on the Website or any other ExhibitTrader Affiliated Site. There is no charge by EXHIBITTRADER.COM to Users for responding to a Listing. For the sake of clarity, each Buyer or Seller is also a User under this Agreement.
2.03 You represent and warrant to EXHIBITTRADER.COM that information you provide to or through EXHIBITTRADER.COM is and shall be updated to remain accurate, current, and complete, and you further represent and warrant that you have the right to legally enter into and fully perform all aspects of any transaction proposed or accepted by you relating to EXHIBITTRADER.COM or any User. You, and not EXHIBITTRADER.COM, are responsible for all communications and transactions between you and any other User. If you indicate to us that you would like to be contacted by another User, that information, including the contact information you provide, is passed along to the other User.
2.04 Information about any particular Product or Service is supplied by the providing Seller. We do not endorse or accredit any Product or Service listed by any Seller and make no representation or warranty about the type or quality of Product(s) or Service(s) or the billing or other practices of any Seller; we also do not verify or update the licenses, accreditations, certifications, or other permits or approvals of any Seller.
2.05 Prices shown in Listings typically do not include sales tax, shipping, or other applicable fees or charges, any of which may be added by a Seller. Seller(s) or Buyer(s), and not EXHIBITTRADER.COM, shall be responsible for payment of any applicable taxes or fees relating to transactions regarding any Product or Service other than an ExhibitTrader Product or ExhibitTrader Service.
2.06 Each Seller is solely responsible for all information and other content posted in its Listings. Sellers must provide accurate information, in part, so that Buyers can identify and contact any Seller directly. When a Seller offers a product or service for sale, the Seller must be prepared to sell (as applicable) the item(s) for the price and quantity as listed and as available. Terms of any sale through the Website or any other ExhibitTrader Affiliated Site are based upon direct negotiation between Buyer(s) and Seller(s). You acknowledge that any potential or actual transaction is between the particular Buyer and Seller, and EXHIBITTRADER.COM is not a party to, and shall not have any third-party liability regarding any actual or contemplated transaction between Users or between any User and any operator of an ExhibitTrader Affiliated Site other than the Website (except to the extent required by applicable law and this Agreement in transactions relating to ExhibitTrader Products or ExhibitTrader Services), but EXHIBITTRADER.COM and ExhibitTrader Associates shall be third-party beneficiaries of such transactions where possible.
2.07 RISK OF LOSS: All ExhibitTrader Products purchased from EXHIBITTRADER.COM are sold pursuant to a shipment contract free on board (FOB) which means that a Seller completes performance once a Seller delivers conforming goods to the carrier; therefore, the risk of loss and title for such items pass to Buyer immediately upon delivery to the carrier.
2.08 INVESTIGATIONS: Each User agrees to cooperate fully with investigations by EXHIBITTRADER.COM or its designees, including by providing us specific information regarding any transaction relating to any Product or Service at any time upon our request. We may investigate complaints or alleged violations of our policies, and take any action we deem appropriate (such as suspending or terminating a User's registration with EXHIBITTRADER.COM) (in any case), (for any reason), including: (A) a User's failure to cooperate with our investigation of a complaint or alleged violation; (B) a User's failure to provide verifiable or authentic information; (C) our belief that a User's conduct may result in legal liability for that user, any other User, or EXHIBITTRADER.COM; or (D) any other breach of these Terms of Use or of any other agreement, document, or policy incorporated herein by reference.
3. LIMITED and EXCLUSIVE REFUND POLICY FOR Sellers ONLY
3.01 With respect to any Additional Fees agreed to be paid by any particular Seller, EXHIBITTRADER.COM has established the following limited and exclusive refund policies:
(A) If the Seller notifies EXHIBITTRADER.COM via email at postings@exhibittrader.com within seventy-two (72) hours of arranging to post a Listing, EXHIBITTRADER.COM WILL REFUND THE ADDITIONAL FEES ONLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS SHOWN TO THE SATISFACTION OF EXHIBITTRADER.COM: (i) that Seller's Listing has not been posted and Seller wishes to cancel the Listing.
(B) ERRORS: If a Seller mistakenly overpaid for published fees on EXHIBITTRADER.COM.
(C) EXCLUSIVE REMEDY: If EXHIBITTRADER.COM has caused a mistake or error in relation to posting of a Seller's Listing (a typographical or upload error, for example), the Seller is required to notify us immediately via email at postings@exhibittrader.com and a seller may be asked to follow directions given to seller for correcting such errors. If EXHIBITTRADER.COM caused the mistake or error, we will fix or correct the error at no charge; however, the Seller will still be responsible for payment of the original Listing Fee. Changing or correcting, or having EXHIBITTRADER.COM change or correct the Listing, is Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for any mistake or error made by EXHIBITTRADER.COM relating to the mistakes or errors in a Listing. In no event will EXHIBITTRADER.COM be responsible to any Seller for any loss of business, damage, or cost or expense arising from such error(s).
(D) No refunds will be available after seventy-two (72) hours from ordering of any Listing.
(E) EXHIBITTRADER.COM will not provide a refund for any other reason, regardless of how quickly a Seller notifies EXHIBITTRADER.COM after arranging to post a Listing other than reasons referred to in the LIMITED and EXCLUSIVE REFUND POLICY FOR Sellers ONLY section.
3.02 In addition to any Consignment Fee you may be required to pay pursuant to this Agreement, you will also pay us any transaction taxes that we may be required to collect on such fees. All fees payable by you to us under this Agreement will be made without setoff and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future tax.
3.03 We will be entitled to an adjustment to payments made by you for any amounts ultimately not collected because of fraudulent credit-card use, insufficient funds, or bad debt, in an amount equal to the uncollectible amounts plus all expenses relating to the attempted collection of the amounts (including, for example, returned-check fees).
3.04 Please note that Sellers using other EXHIBITTRADER Services are subject to fees as described in these Terms of Use and in any other applicable document or policy (such as the Consignment Agreement).

The username that you select is the name that will appear when you post Content on a message board or utilize any other inactive feature on the Website. Your username may be any name that you select, as long as it is not confusingly similar to a name that has previously been assigned and so long as EXHIBITTRADER.COM does not determine it to be obscene, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable. You are solely responsible for maintaining the privacy and security of your username and password at all times, and you agree to notify us immediately in writing or via email at: info@exhibittrader.com any time you become aware or have reason to suspect that the security of your password has been compromised.
