Registered Users
While a non-registered user may browse ads, many features of this site
may only be accessed by first registering with WWT from the homepage, or where
indicated.
Registering with WWT is free. Registration requires that
the user provide valid and true personally identifiable information, which
assists us in communicating with you and making your experience at our site more
enjoyable and customized to your interests. Your personally identifiable
information is kept secure and used only for activities described in our Privacy Statement
.
In submitting advertisements or information to WWT, you
grant permanent rights to WWT for all submitted ad material, including but not limited to text, photographs or
electronic reproductions, for commercial use and publication, as well as indefinite storage in our
archives.
Registration is limited to individuals at least eighteen
(18) years of age that may enter into a legally-binding contract. As your
account contains personal information and records, you may not transfer the account to another
party or entity, and you are strongly advised not to share your password with
anyone.
Fees
WWT offers a tremendous amount of flexibility in the
services offered for locating the items users desire to buy, sell, auction and
search for. As such, fees for each activity are not covered on this page. Ad
posting prices are listed in the ad placement process. To review our auction
closing fee schedule, please visit www.WorldWideTrader.com/fees.html. By
completing the registration process, User hereby warrants that he has read,
completely understands and will abide by policies set forth herein. User agrees that he or she will read the
auction closing fees page located at www.WorldWideTrader.com/fees.html immediately upon registering. Fees listed
reflect standard rates, and only registered users will have access to this page. From time
to time, WWT may offer promotional specials that deviate from those listed.
Such promotional fees will always be below those listed in the ad
placement process or on the Fee Schedule for exactly the same services, and are
effective for the time period indicated on the posting. Transactions qualifying
for promotions must be purchased within the timeframe noted. In addition, WWT
may offer incentives or discounts to users meeting specified criteria.
All quotes are in US dollars.
Once fees have been charged and the ad “goes live,”
fees are non-refundable, although the user may cancel his ad at any
time prior to the noted expiration date of the ad.
We may change pricing and services offered at any time. We may
notify users of these changes by posting an announcement on our
homepage, or by a system e-mail. Fee changes will take effect immediately
and will affect all ads placed after the pricing change.
When you use a fee-based service of WWT, you will be
able to view, and agree to, ad posting charges before completing a transaction.
The user is responsible for all fees, including auction closing fees
where applicable,
and taxes as agreed to upon confirmation of the transaction.
User Responsibilities
The seller of an item must be the rightful, legal owner of the item for sale,
or an agent authorized by the rightful owner to sell the item. The item being
offered must be available for sale at the price listed, or according to auction
criteria chosen.
The user is responsible for entering data for the ad in
most instances. Whether entered by the user or by WWT, the user is responsible
for verifying all information contained in the ad. The ad may be reviewed for
editing prior to final confirmation and the ad’s “going live.” In addition, the
user has the ability to cancel his ad at any time by following the link
indicated on his ad confirmation, or by logging into his “My WWT” at www.WorldWideTrader.com
.
The user must agree to have certain personally identifying information posted on the Web site so
that other users of the site may contact him regarding products or services offered. The
user assumes all liability and risks involved in making personally identifying information available to
the public.
If the user has posted an item for auction, the user is
bound by his selection of criteria (i.e. reserve price, minimum acceptable bid,
etc.). If the auction does not bring at least the minimum acceptable bid or
reserve price, the user is not obligated to sell the item. However, if minimum
criteria have been met, the user is legally bound to accept and must complete
the transaction with the winning bidder, unless the bidder fails to uphold his
end of the agreement by withholding payment, or if other extenuating
circumstances force the cancellation of the transaction (i.e. item is damaged
prior to shipment, was misrepresented in error, etc.). If the ad is subject to closing fees,
such as auctions, the closing fees will be billed to the sellers account automatically after
the reserve price, or Purchase Now price, has been met or exceeded and are
non refundable.
If the user has received payment for any product or
service offered for sale, but does not provide the product or service to the
buyer, the user must refund the money immediately. If WWT is
notified that a user has misappropriated monies paid by other parties, user
agrees and consents to WWT that it will keep such information on file, may
suspend or close the offending user’s account, and reserves the right to release the user’s personally
identifying information to law enforcement or government authorities as required. These actions are not the
sole course of actions that WWT or other affected users may take against the
offending party.
The buyer of an item must be able to legally take ownership of the item offered for sale. Bidding
on an item, or completing a transaction with a seller, serves as constructive notice that
the buyer is of legal age and has the capacity to enter into a
binding contract.
If WWT is notified that a user is the successful bidder on an auction item,
but does not provide necessary documentation or funds to complete the transaction, WWT will keep
this information on file, and reserves the right to suspend or close the offending
user’s account.
It is the users’ sole responsibility to collect
information on and complete transactions for ads posted on this site. WWT will not participate in
any transaction and will not be held accountable for any aborted transactions or miscommunications between
parties. The user assumes all risks involved in dealings with other parties through use
of WWT.
Prohibited Listings and Activities
WWT will not permit certain items to be listed on this
Web site. Please visit http://www.worldwidetrader.com/Membership/prohibitedItems.asp
for a list of products and services that will not be accepted. If a prohibited
item is audited and rejected prior to the ad “going live,” the user will receive
a cancellation notice via email and a credit of fees charged for the ad. If the
ad for the prohibited item inadvertently “goes live,” it may be cancelled at any
time by WWT without refund to the user. The user will be notified of the
cancellation via email. If it is established that a user has repeatedly posted
prohibited items (successfully or otherwise), WWT may close the user’s account,
and may pursue any and all legal remedies available to WWT against user.
Furthermore, user agrees to hold harmless and indemnify WWT for any and all
claims by third parties against WWT as a result of the user posting prohibited
items on the site. By completing this agreement, User hereby warrants that he
has read, and completely understand, WWT’s prohibited items list located at http://www.worldwidetrader.com/Membership/prohibitedItems.asp
. WWT
will notify users of any changes to the Prohibited Items page by posting an announcement on
our homepage, or by a system e-mail. Any changes to the
Prohibited Items page will be effective immediately.
When creating an ad, the user must choose the category
that most closely fits the characteristics of the sale item. The advertisement
must not be false, misleading or deceptive in any way; contain libelous,
slanderous or otherwise malicious references to a company, person or other
entity; violate any law, including but not limited to consumer protection,
fraud, trademark infringement or other rights-of-ownership law; contain computer viruses of any nature. The ads must
not contain e-mail addresses, hyperlinks, or other contact information, for the purposes of circumventing
the services and fees, or for the purposes of inbound or outbound solicitation, of WWT. Users who
place a “wanted ad” or “wanted ad alert” are strictly prohibited from placing any
contact information anywhere in the ad. If the website prompts the user to enter any such
contact information in a specific field, those actions are acceptable and
are exempt from violation of this section.
If an ad is deemed to include restricted information such as that
listed above, WWT reserves the right to cancel the ad without refund, and close
or otherwise curb the user’s account permanently or until the matter is rectified. These actions are not
the sole course of actions that WWT or other affected users may take against
the offending party. WWT’s failure to act against the user or other parties for prohibited actions
in no way restricts WWT from taking action against these or
future such occurrences at a later date.
The user is strictly prohibited from collecting information from WWT for any use that falls
outside the structure of WWT’s services, User Agreement and Privacy Policy. The user cannot
collect email addresses or other provided personal information for marketing, “spamming” or any other use not covered
in this Agreement. The user is prohibited from copying, interfering with or accessing the
structure of any advertisements, pages, or other content on this site, through manual, electronic or other
means. WWT reserves all rights to file appropriate legal action against
any users that materially breach this agreement.
The user is strictly
prohibited contacting any other users on the WWT website for the purposes of circumventing
the services and fees, or soliciting the customers, of WWT. WWT reserves the right
to close the user’s account permanently if such breach is determined by WWT. These actions are not
the sole course of actions that WWT or other affected users may take against
the offending party. WWT’s failure to act against the user or other parties for prohibited actions
in no way restricts WWT from taking action against these or
future such occurrences at a later date.
Feedback and User Comments
WWT may offer a Feedback / User Comments area where any WWT user may post
comments regarding their experience with other users of the site. WWT does not
control what is written in this area, and will not be held responsible for any
remarks issued by users or other parties, regardless of how negative, malevolent
or revealing the comments may be. The target user will have the opportunity to
respond to any comments directed at him or his items. Responses will be posted
in either the same area or a directly-linked page of the Web site.
