This agreement is effective on March 1st, 2004.

1.Membership eligibility
Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law.

If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parents or guardians. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service and our Web site and all applicable taxes.

3.Xumba is a venue

3.1 Xumba is not an auctioneer. Our site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy books, video games and art, at any time, from anywhere. 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.

3.2 Fixed price marketplace. We offer you the availability to purchase items at a fixed price

3.3 Identity verification. We use many techniques to identify our users when they register on our site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, xumbay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on our site. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification. For more information, please see our Buying and Selling Tools page.

3.4 Release. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release xumbay (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual 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 such disputes.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "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."

3.5 Information control. We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other users' information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international traders and foreign nationals.

4.Bidding and buying

As a buyer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller if you purchase an item through our fixed price formats.

5.Listing and selling

5.1 Listing description. You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on our site. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of our site. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item.

5.3 Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, xumbay may suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site.

5.4 Manipulation. Neither you, as a buyer or a seller may manipulate the price of any item nor may you interfere with other users' listings or transactions.

6.Your information

6.1 Definition. "Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to us or other users in the registration or listing process, in any public message area or through any email feature.

Furthermore, you may not list any item on the site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our service) that, by paying to us the listing fee or the final value fee, could cause us to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation, or that violates our current Prohibited and Restricted Items.

6.3 License. Solely to enable xumbay to use the information you supply us with, so that we are not violating any rights you might have in that information, you agree to grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights (but no other rights) you have in Your Information, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to Your Information. xumbay will only use Your Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You agree that you will not use any device, software or routine to bypass our robot exclusion headers, or to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the xumbay site or any activities conducted on our site.

You agree that you will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure.

8.Breach

Without limiting other remedies, we may immediately remove your item listings, warn our community of your actions, issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you if:
you breach this Agreement or the documents it incorporates by reference; we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us; or we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us.

9.Privacy

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent and we only use your information as described in the Privacy Policy. We view protection of users' privacy as a very important community principle. We understand clearly that you and your information is one of our most important assets.

If you object to your Information being transferred or used in this way please do not use our services.

We, our subsidiaries, employees and our suppliers provide our Web site and services "as is" and without any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory. We, our subsidiaries, employees and our suppliers specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose 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 that vary from state to state.

11.Liability limit

Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

13.Legal compliance

You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our service and your bidding on, listing, purchase, solicitation of offers to purchase, and sale of items.
