INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND YOUR VISITS TO OUR SITE
We process information about you in accordance with our privacy policy. By using our site, you consent to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate.
TRANSACTIONS CONCLUDED THROUGH OUR SITE
We act merely as an introductory service providing a platform through our site allowing designers (designer) and customers to come together, the former to list and sell items and the latter to buy them. You understand and agree that the items listed on our site are not supplied by us and we do not participate in any part of the sale and purchase transaction between you and the designer. You understand, acknowledge and agree that any contracts for the purchase of items on our site shall be strictly between you and the designer of that item.
We have no control whatsoever over the quality, legality or safety of any advertised items or of any other characteristics upon which a customer may rely, the accuracy of any of the listings and the capacity of any designer or any customer to transact.
GENERAL RULES GOVERNING BUYING AND SELLING
We do not have and never intend to have any contractual involvement in your transactions with the designer and at no stage buy or sell, or purport to buy or sell, any of the products displayed on our site. Any disputes between customers and designers are just that - we will not become involved.
It is the responsibility of the customer and designer to agree the specifications of the items and the terms of the agreement between them.
Your placing of an order entitles us and any designer to rely on your order and as a result you warrant and undertake that you have the legal right to make such an order and to enter into any such transaction.
If you order an item on our site, you acknowledge and agree that if you have placed the order, you have entered into a contract with the designer to buy the item. You can only terminate that contract in limited circumstances set out in law, for example where the item does not materially comply with the information provided in relation to it or where you cannot identify the designer.
In relation to all goods you sell or offer for sale: (i) you must be the absolute unencumbered legal and beneficial owner with the right to sell those goods; and (ii) your sale or the use of the goods must not infringe any third party rights or be unlawful in any way.
If selling, you must list all of your items in the correct category with accurate and appropriate descriptions and provide such information as we may request (listing information). Once you post the listing information, the item becomes a listed item. Once an item becomes a listed item, you are making an irrevocable offer to sell.
Any designer receiving an order is obliged to complete such transaction unless the customer fails to meet the terms of the listing or the designer is unable to authenticate the identity of the customer or the customer does not have sufficient financial capacity.
A designer must not contact any customers directly in a sale of listed items whether offered by such designer or another designer.
PAYMENT
All customers must pay designers for sale items via a secure payment system (provided by a third party). Customers are responsible for any delivery and insurance costs.
Some transactions through our site may involve designers shipping items from the UK, or from outside the UK, for delivery in the UK or outside the UK, and they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. The customer will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information.
Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the countries for which the items are originated and destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws. Note that applicable laws and regulations may prohibit import and export of certain items.
We make no representation and accept no liability whatsoever to any customer or designer in respect of the issuance or validity of any export or import permits or the existence and exercise of export or import laws and regulations or any compulsory purchasing regimes.
We may use third party services to secure and protect any payment details submitted by you to assist your shopping experience. However, any losses incurred or sustained by you in transmitting information shall be borne solely and exclusively by you and in no event shall any such losses in whole or in part be borne by us. If you are using a public computer, you must sign out when you have finished shopping.
