- JoyLot.com is a Venue.
3.1 Overview. Parties other than JoyLot under the user name JoyLot.
Our site acts as the venue for sellers to list items (or,
as appropriate, solicit offers to buy) and buyers to buy on items. We make
every effort and prescreens each and every seller prior to posting items on
JoyLot to assure you a safe transaction. However 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 JoyLot itself may post products for sale offered by JoyLot or it's affiliates
or drop shippers and JoyLot undertakes responsibility for the
transaction and the item listing, including product listing, item
description, quantity offered, including establishment of buy now, offer (if any) and freight.
o Payments are made directly to merchants offering the
item for sale on the site. Item purchased from JoyLot user id will be
paid to JoyLot and all returns or exchanges will be carried out through JoyLot.
Otherwise contact the seller whom you purchased the item from to work
out any issues. Items not sold by JoyLot and sent to us in error will
require the shipper to pay the shipping fees in order for us to return your
package.
o Prices and availability of items offered by JoyLot
are are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to remove,
change or correct any errors or listings upon discovery. (including after an
order has been submitted)
3.3 Registered User Identity We attempt to verify the accuracy of a
portion of the information provided to us by users when they register with
us. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, JoyLot cannot
and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have
established a user-initiated feedback system to help you evaluate with whom
you are dealing. We also encourage you to communicate directly with
potential trading partners. You may also wish to consider using a third
party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.
3.4 Release. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers, besides JoyLot user id in the event that you have a dispute with one or
more users, you release JoyLot (and our officers, directors, agents,
subsidiaries 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. If you are a California resident, you waive
California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must
have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
3.5 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by
other users which 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 foreign
nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense.
