2. About Swapnice

Swapnice is a marketplace that facilitates a kind of sharing economy where users can barter or sell many different things. The actual contract for a transaction is directly between the users. Swapnice provides guidance that is solely informational on listing, transacting, sourcing, and more. You may decide to follow it or not. Swapnice cannot guarantee and has no control over:

• the existence, quality, or legality of user created content or items advertised;
• the truth or accuracy of user created content or listings;
• users carrying out the transactions they commit to;
• users ability to supply the items in their offers, or fairness in the interactions or transactions between users.

4. Policy Enforcement

When an issue regarding a transaction or some other policy infringement occurs, we may consider what is best for Swapnice and our users in applying our policies. We may choose to be more lenient with enforcing some policies in an effort to do the right thing for Swapnice and its users.

5. Fees

There are fees for some uses of Swapnice. The fees we charge are prominently listed on Swapnice. We may change some of the fees by posting the changes on Swapnice 14 days in advance, but without notice for promotions or discounts that result in the reduction of fees. Fees are charged to your account that must have a payment method on file when accessing uses of Swapnice that involve fees. You must also pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with Swapnice by the payment due date. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, and retain collection agencies and legal counsel. You will also be subject to late fees. No fees on Swapnice purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on Swapnice.

6. Membership

If you purchase any Swapnice membership, your membership will continue month-to-month and automatically renew until terminated. In order to use Swapnice, you must have internet access, a capable device, a valid payment method, and an account registered to an eligible user. We may offer many different membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products or services. We are not responsible for the aforementioned 3rd party products or services and they may have differing limitations, which are disclosed at sign up and updated if they change. We reserve the right to change our membership plans or adjust pricing in anyway or time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. We will post any changes to memberships at least 14 days in advance.

7. About Refunds

At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to users(“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole discretion. The provision of credits in one instance doesn’t entitle you to credits for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide any credits in the future.

19. Legal Dispute Resolution/Binding Arbitration/Class Action Waiver

You and Swapped agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and Swapped (including any claim or dispute between you and a third-party agent of Swapped) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this User Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Swapped or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section. If you are a user in the United States, including its possessions and territories, you and Swapped agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in anyway to Swapnice, this User Agreement, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limited any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to this User Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Swapped are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration shall survive termination of this User Agreement and the termination of your account. If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Swapped, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice must be addressed to Swapped at the aforementioned address. If Swapped initiates arbitration, we will send a written Notice to the email address used for your account. A Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Swapped and you do not reach and agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed and administered by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this User Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Swapped and you agree otherwise any hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for the judicial review expressly permitted by law, or if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a part, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA rules. You and Swapnice agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding if this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
