Audiogon is only a Venue
Our web site acts as a venue to allow eligible members to offer, sell, and buy
audio related products via "online auctions" or
"classifieds." We are not involved in the actual transaction between
buyers and sellers. As a result, 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 ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
User Identity verification
Audiogon may use techniques to attempt to identify our users
when they register to use our site. However, due to the difficulty of
verification over the internet, Audiogon can not and does not claim to have
confirmed each user's identity as submitted.
Release
In the event of a dispute with one or more users, you release
Audiogon, it's officers, employees, agents and suppliers, form all claims,
demands, actual or consequential damages of any nature, known and unknown,
disclosed and undisclosed, arising from or connected with any such
disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil
Code 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims
with the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor".
Information control
We do not control the information made available by our users
that is posted online or otherwise made available through our system.
There may be risks involved when relying on the information posted, or
transacting with users based upon such information.
No Agency
You and Audiogon are independent contractors,
and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or
franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
No Warranty
Audiogon and our suppliers provide this
service "as is", without any warranty or condition, express,
implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties
of title, merchantability, fitness of use, and non-infringement. Some
states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing
disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights
and you may also have other legal rights which vary from state to state.
