Abusing or Violating The Vape Trader

Without limiting other remedies, we may limit, suspend or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to our website, delay or remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep users off the sites if we think that they are creating problems, possible legal liabilities, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. We also reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a long time.

The Vape Trader in an attempt to provide the highest quality site to its users considers an abuse and violation of the terms and agreement should a user receive three or more negative notations within the prior 365 days. Upon receipt of a second negative notation on a user’s account, the user shall receive a warning notice of possible suspension should a third notation be received. At the third negative notation, the user’s account shall be suspended for 31 days. Any negative notations beyond the third one will trigger an automatic permanent suspension from using the site and services offered.

Abusing or Violating The Vape Trader

Joining The Vape Trader and trading, buying, and/or bidding on items listed by 3rd parties is FREE. We do charge fees for listing item/s within certain categories. When you list an item or use a service that has a fee you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged based on our Fees schedule, which we may change from time to time. Changes to that Policy are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen days’ notice by posting the changes on The Vape Trader site. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events (i.e.: free listing days) or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the website.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our sites and services in a timely manner with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. (This includes charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies and legal counsel, and for accounts over 180 days past due, deducting the amount owed from your account balance.)

Content

When you submit content to the site by listing an ad, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright, trademark, publicity, and database rights (but no other rights) you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future.

Liability

You will not hold The Vape Trader responsible for other users’ content, actions or inaction’s, or items they list. You acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, the sites are a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats and venues, such as stores, fixed price formats and auction-style formats. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. We have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of California Commercial Code ß 2401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code ß 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller. Unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise, the buyer will become the item’s lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the seller, in accordance with California Commercial Code ß 2401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code ß 2-401(2). Further, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our services, and operation of the sites may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted, we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of our sites and services. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Regardless of the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, and (b) $100. Additionally, any user who creates said liability shall be required to fully indemnify The Vape Trader for any costs, expenses, and legal fees it incurs defending the allegations.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the sites for any purpose without our express written permission.
