When you list an item you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using the Auction Services and all applicable taxes. All fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. You acknowledge that you will not be entitled to a refund if you do not receive any bids on your listing, if you delete your listing for any reason, or if your listing is unsuccessful, canceled or terminated.

    You represent, warrant and covenant that any and all information that you transmit or upload in connection with the Auction Services is and shall be current, complete, truthful and accurate. All information transmitted or uploaded in connection with the Auction Services shall constitute User Content, and your use of the Auction Services shall constitute User Conduct, which are subject to the provisions of Paragraphs III and IV of this Agreement.

As a result, you acknowledge and agree that Uptownpets has no control over the quality, safety or legality of any items listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for or buy items. We cannot ensure that a) a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction; b) a buyer will make payment or c) that a seller will deliver the item sold. Accordingly, your use of the Auction Services is at your sole risk.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims which 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." Also, you acknowledge and agree that Uptownpets is not responsible for the collection and remittance of any federal, state or local taxes incurred as a result of your use of the Auction Services.
