  3. Shoemachinery.com is only a Venue.
    The Site acts as a venue which allows registered users to offer, sell and buy just about shoe manufacturing items. 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.

    1. Offered Items. You must not offer, sell or buy any other items which suits in the categories and which are not in relation to shoe manufacturing.

    2. Identity verification. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and does not confirm the purported identity of users or the validity of the information which users post to the Site. We only encourage you to communicate with potential trading partners using the tools available on the Site.

    3. Liability. In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any other user arising from that user's use of the Site, you agree to pursue such right, claim or action independently of and without recourse to us, and you release us (and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees) from all claims, liability, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees, known and unknown, arising from or in any way connected with such right, claim or action.

    4. Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users which is made available through the Site.

  4. Listing Description.
    If you are a seller, you must ensure that you are legally able to sell each item. You must describe your item and terms of sale on the listing page of the Site.

All items must be listed in an appropriate category.

  5. Fees.
    Joining shoemachinery.com and contacting on items is free, although you will remain responsible for the costs of accessing our Site and communicating with our users. We charge fees for listing items for sale through our Site and when you list an item you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Our fees are described on the effect, when you advertise an item. We may change this policy at any time. However, we may choose to temporarily change our Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for our services for promotional events (for example, free listing days) and such changes are effective when we announce the temporary promotional event on the Site. For the avoidance of doubt, such promotional events shall not apply to any listings on our Site at the time of the announcement. We may in our sole discretion change some or all of our services at any time. In the event we introduce a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service.
