Your User Agreement

The Cubicdissection Marketplace is owned and operated by Kerf Inc., a North Carolina corporation. The following describes the terms on which Kerf Inc. offers you access to our services:

Introduction 

By using the services on this website, you are agreeing to the following terms. If you reside outside of the United States, you are agreeing to be bound by US law in the matters contained herein. If you have any questions, please refer to the Help section on the site.

Before you may become a member of Cubicdissection Marketplace, you must read and accept all of the terms and conditions in this User Agreement and the Privacy Policy.

This Agreement is effective on November 1st, 2007, for current users, and upon acceptance for new users.

Using Cubicdissection Marketplace

While using the site, you agree not to:

Membership

The Marketplace is a highly trusted environment. Identity obfuscation by use of VPN, multiple aliases, reshipping accounts etc. is prohibited. Membership is a privilege that may be granted or revoked at our sole discretion at any time for any or no reason.

Users are required to participate under their true identity at all times. These measures are in place to prevent fraudulent accounts from being created and maintain a safe environment for all participants.

New users must verify their identity to our satisfaction. Verification requirements include successful processing of a token PayPal transaction using a verified account that shares the same mailing address as declared in the user's Marketplace account. Other requirements may be necessary, up to and including photographic evidence of the user and their state-issued identification. 

Abuse

Kerf Inc. works to keep the Site working properly. Please report problems, offensive content, and policy violations to us.

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 site 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.

Fees and Services 

Joining Cubicdissection Marketplace and bidding on listed items is free. We do charge fees for listing items. When you list an item you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged based on our Fee schedule, which we may change from time to time. Changes to that Policy are effective after we post the changes on the site. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the promotional event or new service on the site.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with the site in a timely manner with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may suspend or ban your account.

Liability 

You will not hold Kerf Inc. or Cubicdissection Marketplace responsible for other users' actions or inactions, including things they post. You acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, the site is a venue to allow members to offer, sell, and buy. 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 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 the Uniform Commercial Code § 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 the physical receipt of the item from the seller, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2). Further, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our services, and the operation of the Site 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 site. 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 lesser 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.

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.

Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

Law and Forum for Disputes 

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of North Carolina as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within North Carolina between North Carolina residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Kerf Inc. must be resolved by a court located in Wake County, North Carolina, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Wake County, North Carolina for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

Arbitration Option 

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Improperly Filed Claims

Should you file a claim contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section, you agree that Kerf Inc. shall recover attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of the improperly filed claim or action.
