THIS AGREEMENT SETS FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AT HTTP://J-FAIR.COM (THE "SITE") AND ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY J-FAIR ON THE SITE.
By using the Site in any manner, including but not limited to visiting or browsing the Site, you (the "user" or "you") agree to be bound by this Agreement, including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. This Agreement applies to all users of the Site, including without limitation users who are vendors, customers, merchants, contributors of content, information and other materials or services on the Site.
If you have any questions, please refer to the Help section of the Site.
1. J-Fair is a Venue
J-Fair acts as a venue to allow users who comply with J-Fair's policies to offer, sell and buy certain goods within a fixed-price format. J-Fair is not directly involved in the transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, J-Fair has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the items listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. J-Fair does not pre-screen users (except for services that require an application) or the content or information provided by users. J-Fair cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Consequently, J-Fair does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer.
J-Fair cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of a user. J-Fair encourages you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available on the Site. You may also wish to consider using a third-party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.
You agree that J-Fair is a venue and as such is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, data, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links posted by you, other users, or outside parties on J-Fair. You use the J-Fair service at your own risk.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful. J-Fair may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer access to or use of the Site to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.

3. Fees and Billing
Joining and setting up a shop on J-Fair is free. J-Fair takes a percentage of the sale price from the seller when the item sells. J-Fair's Fees Policy, which is subject to change, is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Changes to the Fees Policy and the fees for J-Fair's services are effective after J-Fair provides you with at least fourteen (14) days' notice by posting the changes on the Site. J-Fair may, at J-Fair's sole discretion, change some or all of J-Fair's services at any time. In the event J-Fair introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars (USD).
4. Listing and Selling
Listing Description: All listings on J-Fair must be for sale. By listing an item on the Site you warrant that you and all aspects of the item comply with J-Fair's published policies. You also warrant that you may legally sell the item. You must accurately describe your item and all terms of sale in your J-Fair shop. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All items must be listed in an appropriate category with appropriate tags. Each listing must accurately and completely describe the item/items for sale in that listing. If the "in stock" quantity is more than one, all items in that listing must be identical. Each unique item must have its own listing.
Shop Policies: All sellers are urged to outline shop policies for their J-Fair shop. These policies may include, for example, shipping, returns, payment and selling policies. Sellers must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. All shop policies must comply with J-Fair's site-wide policies. Sellers are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable shop policies. J-Fair reserves the right to request that a seller modify a shop policy.
Binding Sale: Sellers are responsible for accurately listing their items, and buyers are responsible for reading the description of items before making a purchase. All sales are binding. The seller is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of the seller's listing (such as payment method), or (b) the seller cannot authenticate the buyer's identity. The buyer is obligated to deliver appropriate payment for items purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance.
Fee Avoidance: The price stated in each item listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for packaging and mailing the items. Sellers may not charge excessive shipping fees or otherwise avoid fees. You may not alter the item's price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding J-Fair transaction fees, misrepresent the item's location, or use another user's account without permission.
