AGREEMENT TO TERMS
TOWLOT.COM is a service through
which you may list or bid on items. Your participation in TOWLOT.COM
Auctions is subject to these additional terms which supplement the
TOWLOT.COM Terms
of Service incorporated by reference.
In addition, by participating in TOWLOT.COM
Auctions, you agree to comply with any posted guidelines and rules
applicable to TOWLOT.COM Auctions,
including, without limitation, the TOWLOT.COM
Auctions Guidelines. All such
guidelines and rules are incorporated by reference. Please note:
the TOWLOT.COM Auctions Guidelines
includes a description of those items that may not be listed or
sold through TOWLOT.COM Auctions.
Unless otherwise expressly provided, TOWLOT.COM
reserves the right to update and change, from time to time, these
additional terms and all documents incorporated by reference. You
can always find the most recent version of these additional terms
at http://towlot.com
and the most recent versions of the TOWLOT.COM
Terms of Service and the TOWLOT.COM
Auctions Guidelines at the URLs indicated above.
PAYMENT TERMS
Fees for listing an item are available in our help section incorporated
by reference. Those fees are subject to change. When you list an
item you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees
that you will be charged. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are
in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated
with using TOWLOT.COM Auctions
and all applicable taxes.
Please note, unless as otherwise expressly stated,
all fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. You acknowledge
that you will not be entitled to a refund if you do not receive
any bids on your listing, if you delete your listing for any reason,
or if your listing is unsuccessful, canceled or terminated.
YOUR RELEASE AND WAIVER
You understand and agree that TOWLOT.COM
acts as the venue for sellers to list items and buyers to bid on
items in connection with TOWLOT.COM
Auctions. TOWLOT.COM is not involved
in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. TOWLOT.COM
does not screen or control users who may sell or bid on auction
items, nor does TOWLOT.COM review
or authenticate all auction listings or items offered for sale.
Because TOWLOT.COM
is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers,
in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you
release TOWLOT.COM and its affiliates
(and their respective officers, directors, agents 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 §1542, which provides: "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."
Also, as TOWLOT.COM
is acting only as a venue, TOWLOT.COM
is not responsible for the collection and remittance of any federal,
state or local taxes. Buyers and sellers are responsible for all
tax related issues that may arise.
LEGAL COMPLIANCE
You shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances
and regulations regarding your use of TOWLOT.COM
Auctions and your bidding on, listing of, purchase of, and sale
of any and all items.
TOWLOT.COM'S RESERVATION
OF RIGHTS
TOWLOT.COM expressly reserves the
right to, but has no duty to, refuse, reject or remove any listing
in TOWLOT.COM 's sole discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that TOWLOT.COM
has the right to immediately modify, suspend or terminate any listings
or your account and refuse current or future use of any TOWLOT.COM
service if TOWLOT.COM , in its
sole discretion, believes you have: (i) violated or tried to violate
the rights of others; or (ii) have acted inconsistently with the
spirit or letter of these additional terms or any document incorporated
by reference, including, without limitation, the TOWLOT.COM
Auctions Guidelines. Your TOWLOT.COM
Auctions account may be terminated if you do not use this service
at least one time during a reasonable period of time (as determined
by TOWLOT.COM ) which will not
be less than three months.
INVALIDITY OF SPECIFIC
TERMS
If any provision of these additional terms or any document incorporated
by reference is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor
to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision,
and the other provisions of the such documents remain in full force
and effect.
