3.GROUP BUY DISCOUNTS IS ONLY A VENUE
3.1 WE ARE NOT THE SELLER. Instead, the Site acts as a venue which allows registered users to offer, sell, and buy just about anything which is legal, at any time, from anywhere, in a variety of price formats. We do not review listings provided by users, we never possess the items offered through the Site and we are not involved in transactions between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality 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. Do not assume that the offer, sale, purchase, export or import of any item is valid and legal simply because it is listed on the Site. We are not responsible for ensuring that buyers and sellers actually complete a transaction. You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you.

3.2 Prohibited, Questionable and Potentially Infringing Items. You must not offer, sell, bid for, or buy any items which could be described as Prohibited, Questionable and Potentially Infringing Items. We do not accept any obligation to protect you from unsafe items listed for sale on our Site. Please do not assume that items listed will be harmless to people or property.

3.3 Identity verification. We may use many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide to us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Group Buy Discounts cannot and does not confirm the purported identity of users or the validity of the information which users post to the Site. We encourage you to communicate with potential trading partners.

3.4 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users which is made available through the Site. You may find other 
user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretences. By using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and agree that GroupBuy Discounts is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Site.

3.5 Bidding and Buying. As a buyer, you have a legal obligation to complete a transaction with a seller.By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item's description provided that those conditions of sale are not in breach of this User Agreement or otherwise unlawful. Bids are only retractable in exceptional circumstances, such as when the seller materially changes the item's description after a bid is placed, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot authenticate the seller's identity. As buyer, you must ensure that you are legally able to bid for and buy any item that you bid for.

3.6 Listing and Selling. If you are a seller, you must ensure that you are legally able to sell each item included in a listing on the Site, and that it is lawful to sell such item to UK residents or (if the buyer is resident overseas) that it is lawful to sell and export such item to a person resident in the buyer's jurisdiction. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of the Site. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item and you are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use all content in your listings and we have the right to host it on our servers.

3.7 No Cancellation. You recognise that you will not have the right to cancel any listing under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 or any equivalent legislation in your jurisdiction.
