3. THE ROLE OF VG Traders

3.1 YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VG Traders IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL TRANSACTION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS. AS A RESULT, VG Traders HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF ITEMS OR CONTENT POSTED BY MEMBERS ON OUR SITE, THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF LISTINGS, THE ABILITY OF SELLERS TO SELL ITEMS OR THE ABILITY OF BUYERS TO BUY ITEMS. WE CANNOT ENSURE AND DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT A MEMBER OR BROWSER OF OUR SITE WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETE A TRANSACTION OR ACT LAWFULLY IN USING OUR SITE.

3.2 When you enter into a transaction you create a legally binding contract with another member. You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to that other member. If you do not, you may become liable to that member. You must ensure that you are aware of any laws relevant to you as a buyer or seller or laws for such other uses you make of our Site. If another member breaches any obligation to you, then you, and not VG Traders, are responsible for enforcing any rights that you may have.

3.3 Except as specifically advised otherwise on our Site, VG Traders does not offer any form of insurance or other buyer or seller protection which will assist you, because our Site merely provides the online venue for members to offer, sell, and buy items for VG Coins's and we are not otherwise involved in the transactions and interactions between buyers and sellers. Any disputes must be resolved between the buyer and the seller and we will only become involved as set out below.

3.4 Member identification is based on submitted data by the member and VG Traders cannot and does not confirm a member's purported identity. To assist, we have established a member-initiated feedback system to help you evaluate the member you choose to deal with. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading members through the tools available on our Site. Members agree to exercise their own caution in relation to the identity and reliability of other members.

3.5 Since VG Traders is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers then to the extent permitted by law VG Traders specifically disclaims all liability for any loss or damage, (actual, special, direct, indirect and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with your transaction.

3.6 VG Traders, not being a party to the transaction, does not accept any liability in respect of your involvement in any mediation, arbitration, tribunal hearing, court proceeding or other proceedings (of whatever nature) with a buyer or a seller (as the case may be) in any way arising out of or in any way connected with your transaction. VG Traders may plead these Terms of Use in court to any claim, action, proceeding or suit brought by you, against VG Traders for any matter arising out of any VG Traders transaction or otherwise in respect of these Terms of Use. This clause does not affect any rights you may lawfully have against VG Traders itself for its own acts or omissions.

3.7 We send you communications and notices regarding your transactions and your account on our Site. They do not represent any endorsement, guarantee or legitimisation of your transactions. You are responsible for completing all transactions you participate in (including monitoring their status and complying with all relevant legal obligations). Other members sometimes provide us with information about a transaction. We do not control, endorse or approve this information by making it available to you. You may find information posted by other members to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution and common sense, and practice safe trading when using our Site. Please note that there are risks in using our Site, including dealing with under age persons or people acting under false pretenses. Additionally, there may be risks with international trading and dealing with foreign nationals.

4. THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY: VG Coins

4.1 VG Coins are the virtual currency of which VG Traders operates. Each VG Coin is valued at £1. VG Coins may not be redeemed or exchanged for cash (except as provided below), nor may they be transferred to another member (other than by way of a purchase/sale transaction). VG Coins do not constitute property of the member and are not transferable upon death, as part of a family law matter or otherwise by operation of law.

4.2 VG Coins are intended to facilitate transactions on the Site and are not meant to be accumulated or stockpiled. Members can spend their VG Coins at any time while they are a member. If we terminate a person’s membership in accordance with the Terms of Use, that member will lose all VG Coins standing to their credit.

4.3 VG Coins are maintained for the benefit and participation of and are available to individual members only. Each member may maintain only one account. VG Coins can only be transferred from one member to another member by undertaking a purchase / sale transaction. VG Traders reserves the right to amend the amount of VG Coins standing to a member’s credit pending the resolution of a transaction in dispute, in consequence of a breach of the Terms of Use or for any other reason deemed reasonable by VG Traders.

4.4 VG Traders reserves the right to issue bonus or top-up VG Coins as promotional offers to members at large or selectively to certain VG Traders members at any time, based upon account activity, geographic locations, membership participation or any other criteria determined at the sole discretion of VG Traders. VG Traders reserves the right to establish additional means of issuing VG Coins including making VG Coins available by way of a loan, to require loan repayment or to delete any or all of the means currently recognised, or to exclude specific types of transactions from the accumulation of VG Coins.

5. POSTAGE

5.1 Postage is not included in the price of the item paid in VG Coins by the seller. As no cash changes hands, when a sale occurs, the seller pays for the real cost of postage of the item.

5.2 It is the seller’s responsibility to ship the item promptly after it has been bought by the buyer. It is the buyer’s responsibility to specify delivery to an address where safe delivery can take place. The buyer's address notified to the seller is the address that the buyer has last stated as their current address. VG Traders is not responsible for providing an accurate or authentic buyer’s address to a seller.

6. MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY

6.1 VG Traders may change its services and suspend, terminate or restrict your membership at any time if it believes that this is reasonably justified within these Terms of Use. In the event that VG Traders changes its services, suspends, terminates or restricts your membership you may not be able to access the Site and our services temporarily or permanently and you are prohibited from applying for a new account.

6.2 Our services are only available to, and may only be used by, individuals (that is, natural persons and not corporate entities) who can form, legally binding contracts under applicable law (18 years of age and over) or, if those individuals are 15 years of age and over, they have parental or guardian consent. If you are under 15 years of age or do not qualify, you must not use the Site.

6.3 In order to access some features of the Site, you will have to create an account. Each member is only eligible for one account. When creating your account, should you link your Facebook profile, you authorise us to retrieve all your available details from Facebook and any additional information that you are required to provide must be accurate and complete. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, whether it is done by you or not, so you must keep your Facebook login details and password secure. In addition, you agree to immediately notify VG Traders of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security. VG Traders cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision of the Terms of Use.

6.4 Your membership is not transferable. Your VG Traders account (including feedback) may not be dealt with in any way. In particular, you must not allow others to use your account, nor must you use another’s account, except with express permission and you must not transfer or sell the account to another party. While you are a member you must maintain control of your account.

6.5 By registering with VG Traders, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract or you have parental or guardian consent and you are not a person barred by any laws from using the Site. You affirm that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, indemnities, representations and warranties contained in these Terms of Use and that you will abide by and comply with these Terms of Use. You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself in all required fields on the Site. If any of your information changes, you agree to update your registration information as soon as possible. If VG Traders suspects that your information is not complete, current, or accurate, or that you have otherwise violated these Terms of Use, your account may be subject to suspension or termination, and you may be barred from using the Site.

7. LISTING AND SELLING.

7.1 You must legally own and be able to sell any item you list for sale on our Site. The game must play perfectly without any defects. You must describe your item fully and accurately and include all terms of sale on the listing page of our Site. Your listings may only include text descriptions, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item, including any information that you are required to provide by any applicable law. The listing and the content of the listing, including, but not limited to, any photographs, must be your own work or work that you are legally entitled to use. All listed items must be listed in an appropriate category and all listing questions must be answered accurately and correctly.

7.2 When you list an item for sale on the Site you are offering the item described, for sale at the price given in VG Coins. If you change your mind about selling the item, you can "Unlist” it; in which case it is not available for another member to buy. But once your “For Sale” item has been purchased by another member the sale cannot be cancelled and you are legally bound to complete the sale and promptly deliver the item, by post, to the buyer. If you do not complete a transaction without lawful excuse you may be in breach of your obligations to both VG Traders and the buyer and you may be liable, in addition to being attributed with negative feedback on the Site. You will be entitled to receive your VG Coins for the sale when the seller marks the item as ‘Confirm Arrival’. Your feedback rating as a seller will be indicative of your performance in relation to seller responsibilities on the Site.

7.3 Without limiting any other remedies available to VG Traders at law, in equity or under this agreement, VG Traders may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your membership if we reasonably suspect or believe, or are informed by a government authority, that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise in our sole discretion) have engaged or may engage in fraudulent activity using, or otherwise in connection with your use of, our Site, and you will have no claim whatsoever against VG Traders in respect of any such suspension or termination of your membership.

7.4 You must not, by any means, infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights) of others. Examples of prohibited conduct include listing or selling ‘knock offs' and counterfeit items regardless of how you describe them. VG Traders has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy in regard to listing items that might infringe copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Where an alleged rights owner reports infringing items and asks VG Traders to remove them, those items shall be removed forthwith without further investigation or any compensation for the seller.

8. BUYING

8.1 If you purchase an item you are obliged to complete the transaction with the seller, unless it is prohibited by law or by these Terms of Use. You cannot change your mind and rescind a purchase once you have elected to buy an item. You can however immediately resell the item on the Site. The purchase price in VG Coins will be deducted from your VG Coins account balance. If you have insufficient VG Coins you can buy extra VG Coins to complete the transaction. The purchase process is finalised when the buyer marks the item as “Received".

9. FEEDBACK

9.1 Feedback belongs to VG Traders although we permit you to use it on our Site while you remain a member. You may not use it or deal with it in any way inconsistent with the Terms of Use, without our prior written permission. You acknowledge that we have no control over what members say about you and that we are not responsible for their ratings. But we ask all members to be fair and reasonable about their feedback on other members in order to maintain the integrity of the system.

9.2 You may not do (or omit to do) anything that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system. We are entitled to suspend or terminate your membership at any time if we, in our sole and absolute discretion, are concerned by any feedback about you, or your feedback rating or any feedback given by you.

9.3 You acknowledge that your feedback consists of ratings left by other members and an average feedback score compiled by VG Traders, and that the average number without the relevant comments does not convey your full user profile. Because feedback ratings belong to VG Traders and is not designed for any purpose other than facilitating trading between VG Traders members, you may not use your VG Traders feedback (including, but not limited to, marketing or exporting your rating or feedback comments) in any real or virtual venue other than a website operated by VG Traders.

9.4 We do not provide the technical ability to allow you to import feedback from other websites to the Site.

9.5 Any feedback scores may be amended at any time in the absolute discretion of VG Traders.

10. DISPUTES BETWEEN BUYERS & SELLERS

10.1 Action initiating a dispute should be taken as soon as possible after buying an item, if you are a buyer, or as soon as possible after marking the item as shipped if you are a seller (the “Cause of Action”). At first instance it is the responsibility of the aggrieved member to the dispute to contact the other and work out a solution. Often problems arise because of a misunderstanding and can be resolved by subsequent clear communication. If the dispute is still unresolved after 14 days from the Cause of Action then the aggrieved member can contact VG Traders no later than 60 days after the Cause of Action, and VG Traders will be the final arbitrator of the matter. Factors taken into account by VG Traders in resolving the dispute will be:

whether the seller has proof of postage;

whether the accused member responds to and communicates freely with the aggrieved member;

previous feedback scores of both members;

any other factors deemed relevant by VG Traders.

The decision of VG Traders, in resolving the dispute, shall be final and binding on the respective members.
