User Agreement for Fantero.com

This is an important document which you must consider carefully when choosing whether to use the  website at any time.

This Agreement was last modified on 28'th March 2014.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH THE STORE OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES.

Acceptance of User Agreement

This user agreement (“User Agreement” or “Agreement”) is a contract between you and Freemarket (Switzerland) GmbH, including its corporate subsidiaries and affiliates, (together “Store”, “we” or “us”) which operates www.fantero.com (“Website”). The Website is offered to you conditional on your acceptance of the User Agreement. Please review the terms and conditions set out below before using the Website. Your continued use of the Website after such time will signify your acceptance of this User Agreement.

This User Agreement and all policies and terms incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement between you and the Store as to its subject matter.

If you do not agree to any of these terms and conditions you should immediately cease to use the Website. Please note that we may close, suspend, or limit your access to your Store account (“Account”) or the services provided by us on the Website (“Services”), and/or limit access to your funds if you carry out activities which are in contravention of this User Agreement and its associated policies incorporated by reference.

Amendment of User Agreement

The Store may amend or modify this User Agreement in whole or in part from time to time, without notice, by posting an amended User Agreement on the Website or any linked information. Such updated version of the User Agreement will be effective at the time we post it.

1. Eligibility

The Store offers its Services to its Users. We shall have absolute discretion as to whether or not we accept a particular applicant or website for participation in the service. The Website is available only to individuals or corporate entities who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, this Website and the Services are not available to persons under 18 years of age. If Users do not qualify, they cannot use any of the Store's Services including, but not limited to, those that require the User's ability to form legally binding contracts. Each User is responsible for what occurs on their Account and must report any unauthorised use of their Account to us.

2. Users

The terms "You", "Your", "User", or "Users" refer to anyone accessing our Services or Website for any reason. "Products" means any products available for sale on the Website. “Transaction” means a sale of Products on the Website.

The Store provides an online venue for Users to sell Products (“Sellers”) and Users to buy such Products (“Buyers”) (respectively or jointly as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party").

3. Legal Relationship between you and the Store

  1. Termination

    The Store reserves the right to terminate the participation of any User at any time without reason but expressly including any User that we judge to be in violation of the User Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, we may terminate the participation of a User if we think that they are creating problems, legal liabilities (actual or potential), infringing someone else’s intellectual property rights, engaging in fraudulent, immoral or illegal activities, or for other similar reasons.

  2. Consequences of termination

    In the event of termination, Users found in violation of the User Agreement will not receive any credit or payment from the Store.

    Without limiting the Store's other remedies, to the extent you are in violation of this User Agreement, you must pay the Store for all fees owed to us and reimburse us for all losses and costs (including any and all Store employee time) and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) related to investigating such breach and collecting such fees.

    You and the Store agree that the damages that the Store will sustain as a result of actions that breach the User Agreement will be substantial, potentially including (without limitation) fines and other related expenses from its payment processors and service providers, but may be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. If you engage in such activities, then the Store may fine you up to US$3,000.00 for each such violation and/or the Store may take legal action against you to recover losses that are in excess of the amount charged. You acknowledge and agree that a fine up to US$3,000.00 is presently a reasonable pre-estimate or minimum estimate of the Store's damages, considering all currently existing circumstances, including (without limitation) the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to the Store that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages may be impractical or extremely difficult.

    You agree that the Store is entitled to deduct such charges directly from any existing balance in the offending Account, or any other Account owned by you.

    Users that are terminated by us on any basis other than violation of this User Agreement will be entitled to receive any payment due from us.

    In the event of termination, you will have no claim whatsoever against us in respect of any such suspension or termination of your membership.

  3. Relationship between Users

    The only parties to a Transaction are the Seller and the Buyer. Upon the Buyer buying a Product from a Seller, the Seller agrees to deliver the Product in accordance with the following agreements: (1) the User Agreement; (2) the Content Download License Agreement; (3) any other contractual provisions accepted by both the Seller and Buyer uploaded to the Website, to the extent not inconsistent with the User Agreement; and (4) the Product terms as posted to the Website, to the extent not inconsistent with the User Agreement.

    You agree not to enter into any contractual provisions in conflict with the User Agreement. Any provision of a member contract in conflict with the User Agreement is void.

  4. User Responsibilities

    When you enter into a transaction you create a legally binding contract with another User, unless the transaction is prohibited by law or by this User Agreement.

    You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to other Users. If you do not, you may become liable to that User(s). You must ensure that you are aware of any domestic laws (including common law) international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations relevant to you as a Seller or Buyer, or in any other uses you make of the Website.

    If another user breaches any obligation to you are solely responsible for enforcing any rights that you may have. For the avoidance of doubt, the Store has no responsibility for enforcing any User rights.

  5. No Insurance

    The Store does not offer any form of insurance or other Buyer protection which will assist you, because our Website merely provides the online venue for Users to offer, sell, and buy Products and we are not otherwise involved in the transactions and interactions between Buyers and Sellers. However, some forms of payment permitted on the Website, such as PayPal or credit card, may offer limited buyer or seller protection or chargeback services and you should familiarise yourself with these before proceeding with a transaction of any kind through the Website.

    Because user identification on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not confirm each User's purported identity.

  6. Independent Contractors

    Each User acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between Users is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this User Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between: (1) Users; or (2) between us and any User.

  7. Services offered by the Store

    The Store offers a wide range of tools, content, products, services, benefits, and other resources on the Website of particular interest to Sellers and to enable Sellers to efficiently sell Products online. These Services are for use only under a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-assignable license under these terms and conditions of use. You do not have the right to copy, sell, or otherwise exploit for any commercial purpose the Services or content of the Website (in whole or in part), access to this service or use of this service.

    Some of the Services offered at the Website may include feedback to questions by Users of this service and/or articles with original content and opinions. Use of this content or links to this content is at the User's own risk. No warranty is made that the information is accurate or reliable and the Store and its related entities, directors, officers and agents disclaim all liability and responsibility for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer relying on anything contained in or omitted from this content.

  8. Terms of use

    The User understands and agrees to the following terms:

    • Our Website merely acts as an online venue to allow Users to offer and buy Products. You acknowledge and agree that the Store is not involved in the actual transaction between the Sellers and Buyers. As a result, the Store has no control over the quality or legality of the Products provided by Users on our Website, or the ability of Sellers to provide the Products described on the Website or the Buyers to pay for the Products. We do not guarantee that a User will actually complete a transaction or act lawfully in using the Website.
    • The Website is a dynamic time-sensitive web website. As such, the information on the Website will be changed frequently. It is possible that some information could be considered offensive, harmful, or inaccurate, and in some cases may be mislabelled or deceptively labelled accidentally by the Store or accidentally or purposefully by a third-party, regardless of whether such third parties are with or without a legitimate business purpose.
    • The Store provides unmonitored access to third-party content. The Store is only acting as a venue and/or portal, and has no liability based on, or related to, the third-party content on this Website, whether arising under the laws of copyright or other intellectual property, defamation, libel, privacy, obscenity, or any other legal discipline. The Website may contain links to third-party web websites. The Store does not control nor always review the web websites to which we link from the Website. We, therefore, cannot endorse the content, products, services, practices, policies, or performance of the web websites we link to from the Website, and Users should not treat any link as such an endorsement or acceptance of veracity or value.
    • The Store does not have the resources to, nor does it undertake any obligation to, control, research, verify, validate, or approve the content that is received or viewed on the Website. We expect that the User will undertake necessary activities and practices and will use caution and common sense when using the Store for User's Account.

4. Fees

The Store earns fees for creating, hosting, maintaining, and providing the Website, and for all Services delivered by the Store that are accessible through the Website and to cover expenses and fees the Store incurs to banks, credit card companies, PayPal, and payment processors. After deducting such amounts, the Store transfers the remaining payment amount to the Seller.

5. Affiliate Program

Participants in the affiliate program may receive referral commissions. You may not refer yourself, nor sign up for multiple Accounts to collect referral fees. You may also not partner with any other User to share/transfer the commission made from your own Account, or else both parties will be immediately suspended from the service without payment. The Store reserves the right to delay or cancel sending affiliate earnings if it believes the referred User will not pay the fees they were charged, since affiliate commissions are based on those fees.

6. Accounts

The Store reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the source of the funds is suspected to be fraudulent. Any funds received from an Account having made a fraudulent deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will be reversed immediately. If in a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal has already been processed, you will be expected to return the funds to your Account or face Account termination and any other remedies available to the Store to recover its funds.

    Any User that the Store removes from the service due to violation of the User Agreement will receive no credit or payment and will become liable for certain fees described in this User Agreement.

    The Store requires you to make all payments to the Store and to make payments to and accept payments from other Users in the purchase and sale of Products directly through the mechanisms available on the Website. You understand and agree that the Store will not hold funds delivered to the Store from Users for the purchase and sale of Services in a separate account, but may commingle and deposit such funds with other funds to be paid to other Users and with funds of the Store in any account, at any institution, or in any other manner the Store may decide in its sole discretion from time to time. In addition, you understand that such commingled funds could be used to pay other Users and by the Store for general corporate purposes or otherwise, provided that the Store will remain contractually obligated to make payment to you, as a Seller or Buyer, for any purchases and sales of Products provided by you through the Store. To the extent the Store is obligated to make payment to you, you will be an unsecured creditor of the Store.

  3. Acknowledgement

    You acknowledge that: (1) the Store is not a bank or other licensed financial institution and does not provide banking services; (2) the amounts shown as on deposit in a User Account are not segregated into a separate account but represent unsecured obligations of the Store to the User with respect to the purchase and sale of Services through the Store; (3) the Store is not acting as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to such funds or payments, but is acting only as an agent and (4) amounts transferred through or stored in the payment service are not insured or guaranteed deposits. By initiating and sending payments through the Store, you appoint the Store as your agent to deal with those funds subject to these terms and conditions.

  4. Inactive Accounts

    User Accounts that have been inactive for more than 365 days (“Inactive Accounts”) will incur a monthly maintenance account fee of US$10, until either the Account is terminated or reactivated.

    The Store reserves the right to cancel Inactive Accounts with a nil or negative balance.

  5. Chargebacks

    You acknowledge and agree that any chargebacks (a chargeback occurs when a Buyer rejects or reverses a charge on his or her credit card through the credit card issuer) on funds paid to you by Buyers through the Website are your responsibility and you will not hold the Store liable for such. You agree that the Store may reverse any such payments that are subject to chargeback via our payment processors. To cover the cost of processing chargebacks, the Store assesses a US$20.00 fee to Users for credit and debit card payment chargebacks.

  6. Insufficient funds in Accounts

    If there are not sufficient funds in your User Account to meet outstanding fees and charges, the Store reserves the right to collect any amounts owing to the Store by any other legal means.

    You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for a Product with another User directly (outside of the Store) after that Product has been posted to the Website.

If we discover that a User has sought to be paid for a Product outside of the terms of this User Agreement, we reserve the right to deduct double the fee for the amount that should have been reported. We believe our commissions are very fair and justified for the service we provide, therefore we will absolutely not tolerate any of this activity on the Website.

12. Copyright

  1. Copyright of the Store

    The content and compilation of content included on the Website, such as text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads and software, are the property of the Store and are protected by copyright laws.

  2. Copyright infringement

    It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. Our policy, set out below, is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to us as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify.

  3. DMCA Digital Millennium Copyright Act (United States)
    • The Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998 (“DMCA”), provides recourse for owners of copyrighted materials who believe that their rights under United States copyright law have been infringed upon on the Internet.
    • Under the DMCA, the bona fide owner of copyrighted materials who has a good faith belief that their copyright has been infringed may contact not only the person or entity infringing on their copyright, but may also contact the designated agent of an Internet service provider to report alleged infringements of their protected works, when such alleged infringements appear on pages contained within the system of the Internet service provider (“ISP”).
    • We are committed to complying with the DMCA. Upon receipt of a properly filed complaint under the DMCA, we will block access to the allegedly infringing material. We will forward a copy of the notification of claimed copyright infringement to the alleged infringer. Anyone who believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has wrongfully been filed against them, may submit a notice as set out below.
  4. DMCA Notice

    If you believe that your copyrighted works are contained on our system and you are a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, then we want you to know the proper procedure for notifying us. You should send us a written notice which contains the following:

    • Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed.
    • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled.
    • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
    • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as a physical address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
    • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, your agent, or the law.
    • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
    • A physical signature. You must be a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

    (Together, “Notice”.)

    The Notice specified above is consistent with the form suggested by the DMCA but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.

    Your Notice to us should be sent to us via a reliable means to "Legal Department - DMCA Compliance" at the address in our ‘contact us’ section of the Website. Generally, you should use certified mail or a carrier that provides not only delivery confirmation but that also requires a signature. While you may email us or call us, this does not constitute a proper Notice to us.

    In appropriate circumstances, we will terminate the membership of Users that are repeat infringers. If you believe that a User is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions above to contact us and provide information sufficient for us to verify that the User is a repeat infringer.

    Once we receive your Notice we will follow the procedures outlined above and in the DMCA.

  5. Counter-notice

    If a Notice has been filed with us against you, the owner will attempt to notify you and provide you with a copy of the notice of copyright infringement. If you have a good faith belief that you have been wrongfully accused, you may file a counter-notice with us. If we receive a valid counter-notice, the DMCA provides that the removed or blocked information will be restored or access re-enabled.

    We will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notice, unless we first receive notice from the complaining party that such complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on this Website.

    Please be advised that United States copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counter-notice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material of yours is protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you obtain legal advice.
