The
Website is only a venue. Our site acts as the venue for buyers and
sellers to solicit business. Although, we are involved in the
actual transaction between buyers and sellers, however, 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 and do not control whether or not sellers will complete the
sale of items they offer. We cannot and do not control whether or
not buyers will complete the purchase of items they have bid on.
In addition, note that there are risks of dealing with people
acting under false pretense. Because we do not and cannot control
the action of others, in the event that you have a dispute with
one or more users, you release VetSquare.com Pte Ltd. (and our
agents and employees and any third party partners and/or licensees
of VetSquare.com Pte Ltd.) 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. For
legal reasons, we cannot nor do we try to control the information
provided by other users, which is made available through our
system. We expect that you will use caution -- and common sense --
when using our site. |
|||
|
5. Bidding and Buying |

If
you bid on an item and your bid is accepted by the seller (or the
buyer in the case of a "name your own price" bid), you
are obligated to complete the transaction. Bidding has the same
effect in law as entering into a firm purchase order. Bids are not
retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as the seller
(or buyer) materially changing the description of the item after
your bid. If you choose to bid on restricted use products, you are
certifying that you have the legal right to purchase these
products. |
|||
