Terms of Use
BagZag, Inc. is pleased to welcome you. We're delighted to have you here. Make yourself at home and enjoy yourself, but please adhere to our house rules.
Overview:
It is important to note that while BagZag, Inc is generally referred to as an online social media marketplace, it is not a traditional "retailer." BagZag, on the other hand, serves as a forum for buyers and sellers to meet. BagZag is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, and no legal ownership of things is transferred from sellers to buyers. As a result, BagZag has no control over the things displayed, sellers' capacity to sell items, or buyers' ability to pay for items.
Definitions:
"Your Information" refers to any information you supply to BagZag or other users during the registration process, the listing process (including images and descriptions), any public message section (including the Forums or the comments area), or via any email feature. BagZag provides a passive channel for the online distribution and publication of Your Information, and you are fully responsible for it.
"Your Activities" include things like listing items, leaving comments in any public message section (including the Forums or the feedback area), and sending emails.
Dispute Resolution:
BagZag's ultimate goal is to make you happy. If you have a disagreement with BagZag, please email us at support@bagzag.com, and we will work immediately to resolve it. All user-to-user issues should be reported to your local law enforcement, postmaster general, or a qualified mediation or arbitration agency.

Third-Party Services and Linked Websites:
The Privacy Policy governs your use of the Service, and you agree that BagZag may collect and utilise your information, including personally identifying information. Our Service may include connections to third-party websites or services that we do not own or control (for example, Facebook links) that allow you to export information to third-party services. To utilise some aspects of our Service, you may additionally need to use a third-party product or service (such as a compatible mobile device to use our mobile apps or to purchase a warranty) or use through our implementation of third-party buttons (such as "share" buttons). You use these third-party services entirely at your own risk. Third parties may ask you to agree to their terms of service and privacy policies. These agreements are purely between you and the third party; BagZag is not a party to them.
BagZag's Fees and Credit Policy:
Changes to the Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for our services become applicable after BagZag posts the changes on BagZag and provides you with at least fourteen (14) days notice of the changes. BagZag may, however, opt to temporarily amend BagZag's costs and Credits Policy, as well as the costs for BagZag's services, for promotional events (for example, free listing days), and such changes become effective when BagZag posts the temporary promotional event on BagZag. BagZag reserves the right to change part or all of its services at any moment. If BagZag provides a new service, the costs for that service become effective when the service is launched. Unless otherwise specified, all fees are in US dollars (USD).
BagZag requires all seller accounts to furnish a credit or debit card for verification of identification and payment of fees and services delivered, unless an exception is granted by BagZag.
All fees associated with using BagZag's service and BagZag, as well as all applicable taxes, are your responsibility. If a seller owes more than $5.00 USD in fees at the start of the month, they are sent an invoice outlining the amount owed. The invoice amount must be paid in full within 15 days of the invoice date.
Our service fees will be described once they have been determined.
Listing Description:
You must have the legal right to sell the item(s) you advertise for sale on the Site. On the Site's listing page, you must explain your item and the terms of sale. Only written descriptions, graphics, photographs, and other content relevant to the sale of that item may be used in your listings. All things must be placed in the relevant category. Each listing must correctly and completely describe the item or items for sale. If the "in stock" quantity is greater than one, all items in the list must be the same. Each one-of-a-kind item must have its own listing. Outbound links that take users away from BagZag are not permitted in listings.
Binding Sale:
All sales are final. If you, as a seller, receive a purchase request (order), you are obligated to complete the transaction with the buyer as soon as possible, unless an exceptional circumstance exists, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method), or (b) you are unable to authenticate the buyer's identity.
Risks, No Warranty:
When you use a marketplace service like BagZag, you accept certain risks. BagZag is not involved in, nor does it provide a warranty for, any transaction between Buyer and Seller, nor does it have title to any Items, nor is it the Buyer or Seller in any transaction. You, as a Buyer and/or Seller, assume, agree, and acknowledge that you face all of the risks associated with selling or acquiring things through the Service.
Sellers:
You promise that you have the required rights to sell the items you make accessible and that you will describe them truthfully, correctly, and entirely.
Buyers:
Before making an offer or purchasing, you are completely responsible for reading and reviewing the Item listening. The purchase agreement is between You and the Seller, not BagZag.
Purchases:
Buyers may make offers to purchase Items from Sellers, which, if accepted, constitutes a purchase and a binding contract. When a Buyer purchases an Item, he or she is required to pay BagZag for the Item, including any shipping or other expenses specified. BagZag is not an auctioneer, seller, or carrier. Pricing, listing, and shipping assistance are provided as part of the service, but BagZag is not a buyer or seller of anything. BagZag reserves the right to postpone any Purchase in order to detect fraud or to safeguard users from other illegal or unlawful behaviours. All sales are final, with no returns, refunds, cancellations, or retractions permitted, unless (a) the Buyer cancels an order within three (4) hours of purchase, or (b) the Purchase is cancelled if explicitly permitted by BagZag or, where appropriate, a Seller.
Shipping:
BagZag will supply a prepaid shipping label to the Seller in order for the Item to be delivered to the Buyer (BagZag retains the right to discontinue delivering Labels to any or all users at any time and for any reason). The seller must then deliver the item to the buyer. If the seller does not send the item within three (3) days of receiving the label, we will alert the seller and provide a certain amount of time for delivery before cancelling the purchase. When utilising a label, the seller must only use the label to send the applicable item, is solely responsible for the contents of the parcel, and must comply with all terms and regulations of the shipping carrier. The buyer obtains the title upon shipment.
If an item is lost, damaged, delivered late, or does not come as expected, the buyer must notify BagZag within three (3) days after delivery. BagZag will credit Seller's account with an amount equal to the Purchase price, minus taxes and BagZag's commission, once Buyer confirms receipt and acceptance of Item, either by affirmatively notifying BagZag or failing to notify BagZag within three (3) days of delivery (as determined by tracking information). Seller may redeem funds through BagZag's authorised third-party payment provider(s) or utilise funds to purchase things listed by other Sellers through the Service.
Taxes:
Purchased items may be subject to applicable taxes in your jurisdiction, which BagZag will collect from Buyers on behalf of Sellers where required, and remit such taxes to applicable taxing authorities on behalf of Sellers if taxes are collected and BagZag is legally required to do so. Please keep in mind that taxes are not included in the advertised price of Items, but will be disclosed prior to transaction confirmation. Credits can be used to change the taxes that apply to a Buyer's order. Taxes can be anticipated based on offers made on Items, but they are subject to change if the final sale price differs from the original offer. Taxes are levied based on a variety of factors, including the purchase price, location, and state, local, federal, or other applicable rates at the time of purchase. Despite the fact that we may assess taxes at the time of purchase or sale You are ultimately responsible for verifying and reporting all applicable taxes to the proper tax authorities, even if BagZag does not collect taxes on your behalf.
Payments:
Buyers may pay for Items using BagZag-approved payment methods, and BagZag will receive payment from Buyer on Seller's behalf. By submitting payment information to BagZag, you authorise BagZag to keep that information and charge You for any Items purchased with your confirmation.
Shipping Costs:
Buyers are responsible for any shipping charges associated with their purchased item.
Returns:
In certain cases, BagZag may allow you to return an Item. If the Item you receive is not as described on the Service, you may seek a return by reporting the problem through the Service or by contacting return@bagzag.com within three days of the Item's delivery (as determined by the tracking information on the Label).
Termination:
Without limiting any other remedies, BagZag may suspend or terminate your account without notice if BagZag suspects, in its sole discretion, that you have violated any of BagZag's policies set forth in this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or any other policy documents or community guidelines, or that you have engaged in an improper or fraudulent activity in connection with your account (via information, investigation, conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise). If BagZag terminates a listing or your account, if you close your account, or if payment of your seller fees is unable to be completed for any reason, you are still liable to pay BagZag for any unpaid fees plus any penalties, if any. If the seller's account is not paid in full and becomes past due, BagZag reserves the right to charge the seller's card on file to collect past-due fees. The seller faces additional penalties such as privilege suspension and/or account termination, as well as various collection techniques (including the hiring of collection agencies and legal counsel). Contact BagZag for help if you have a query or want to dispute a charge.
Manipulation:
Each BagZag Item Description's price must be an accurate depiction of the transaction. Manipulation is defined as any activity in which the price no longer accurately reflects the monetary worth of the transaction. Manipulative activities include but are not limited to, stating one price in the Item Description but charging a higher price to the buyer, changing the item's price prior to a sale to avoid BagZag transaction fees, and hacking into another's account and changing prices. For any reason, neither the buyer nor the seller may manipulate the price of any item.
Sellers have up to 90 days from the transaction date to obtain refunds on final value fees. Refund requests for final value fees made after 90 days will be denied.
