6. Sevensmith Marketplace Terms of Sale.

You may be provided the opportunity on the Sevensmith Platform to purchase products that are offered, sold or manufactured by third parties (collectively “Products”). Such Products are available for purchase directly from third-party sellers (“Sellers”), as indicated by the “sold by” field on the Product listing. If you participate in the Sevensmith Marketplace, you agree to these terms of sale:

  1. No Endorsement or Verification. The availability of any Products on the Sevensmith Platform or in the Sevensmith Marketplace does not imply our endorsement of the Products. We do not represent, warrant or guarantee that the Product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.
  2. Product Reviews. Product listings may contain ratings and reviews obtained from third parties. Product reviews posted by Sevensmith users are solely the opinions of the posters. None of the Product reviews contain or reflect any opinions or views of Sevensmith.
  3. Order Acceptance and Cancellation Right. The receipt of an order number or an email order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of an order or a confirmation of an offer to sell. We reserve the right to limit the order quantity on any item and/or to refuse service to any customer for any reason. Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of an order. Prices and availability of Products on the Sevensmith Platform or through the Sevensmith Marketplace are subject to change. Errors will be corrected when discovered, and we reserve the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason.

    4. Returns and Refunds. Products sold by Sellers are eligible for returns and refunds if and as indicated by the terms on the Product listing. Seller does not take title to returned Products until the Product arrives at the Seller’s correct address. The obligation to satisfy any indicated return and refund policy for a Product is between you and the Seller, and not with Sevensmith. At Seller’s discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring a return. In this situation, Seller does not take title to the refunded item.
  6. Customer Service Limitations. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through our customer service team or various programs, Sevensmith has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of Product listings, or that a seller, manufacturer or supplier will satisfactorily honor the warranty offered by that party for a specific Product.
