Participation Agreement
Below is our User Participation Agreement. By using this site to sell and/or purchase items you are agreeing to abide by the below:
Purchasing items
The Buyer
By purchasing an item from a Merchant the buyer enters into a contractual agreement with the merchant. This agreement states that the buyer is entitled to receive the item, once payment is cleared and once the item is ready, within an acceptable time-frame.
As some items are custom-made to order, then it is understandable to expect the item to be delivered later than a ready-made product.
All postage, customs and excise duty, VAT and any other taxes associated with the item will be paid by the buyer. The seller cannot be held responsible for Customs and Excise duties that may need to be paid.The Sale
The sale will be governed by the Laws of whichever country the Merchant resides and the Merchant will not be at fault for the breach of any rules of the buyer's residing country, if different to their own.
The merchant must not knowingly breach any rules regarding the country they reside in or the country of which the buyer resides.
The Role of Gimp Crafts
Although Gimp Crafts facilitates transactions that are carried out on the site, Gimp Crafts are neither the buyer nor the merchant. Gimp Crafts provide a venue for merchants and buyers to negotiate and complete their transactions in accordance with our Policies.
Gimp Crafts have no authority to legally bind either the merchant or the buyer and the contractual agreement formed upon the purchase of an item is between the merchant and buyer themselves.
Gimp Crafts are not obliged to mediate between merchants and buyers or to enforce the fulfilment of any contract. Neither is Gimp Crafts obliged to solve any problems that may arise between the merchant and buyer, although we do have a strict code for all merchants to follow.
As Gimp Crafts is not the agent of any party using Gimp Crafts, if a dispute arises between one or more users of Gimp Crafts, each of you release Gimp Crafts (and its employees, representatives, and agents) from claims, demands and damages 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.Reservation of Rights
