1. BikeExchange is a Venue
BikeExchange acts as a venue to allow users who comply with BikeExchange’s policies to offer, sell, and buy certain goods or services within a fixed-price format. BikeExchange is not directly involved in the transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, BikeExchange has no control over the quality, safety, morality, pricing or legality of any aspect of the items listed; the truth or accuracy of the listings; or the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. BikeExchange does not pre-screen users or the content or information provided by users. BikeExchange cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Consequently, BikeExchange does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer.
BikeExchange cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of a user. BikeExchange encourages you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available on the Site. You may also wish to consider using a third-party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.
You agree that BikeExchange is a venue and as such is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, data, pricing, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links posted by you, other users, or outside parties on BikeExchange.

BikeExchange requires you to sign up for a monthly subscription to operate selling pages with BikeExchange.
You authorize BikeExchange to keep your payment card information on file and to charge the card on file on the same day you signed up for an account of each calendar month for the service. Payments will be charged monthly to customer accounts based on the original purchase date. For example, if you originally paid on the 10th of February your account will be charged on the 10th of March and so on. If the original payment date does not fall in the following month, customer accounts will be charged on the next available date. We will continue to charge the customer’s account until we are notified in writing of a desire to close out the account. If your account is reviewed or updated during its currency and a new monthly billing date is agreed ongoing monthly billing will then occur on the new date.
By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you have authorized BikeExchange to arrange for funds that may from time-to-time become due to BikeExchange under your account. These funds will be debited from your nominated account in amounts and at intervals as advised by BikeExchange to your financial institution.
All merchant sales on BikeExchange are subject to an agreed upon commission rate + merchant fees applicable at the time. This percentage does not include the shipping cost or tax. By establishing merchant services on BikeExchange you give us permission to automatically debit and credit funds from your settlement account for all amounts due. All merchant charge backs are the responsibility of the merchant retailer. We will, however, be responsible for the charge backs that relate to commissions earned. All merchants are responsible for product fulfillment, returns, customer service, dispute resolution, etc.
By selling online on BikeExchange you give us permission to accept 100% payment of the goods or service. BikeExchange will pay vendors and merchants (less BikeExchange commission) for all completed and dispatched items ten calendar days following the dispatch of the item. Payments will be via electronic transfer to your desired bank account. The vendors and merchants must provide BikeExchange with the appropriate bank routing and account numbers in order to be paid.
Changes to the fees for BikeExchange’s services are effective after BikeExchange provides you with at least 14 days’ notice by posting the changes on the Site. However, BikeExchange may choose to temporarily change the fees for BikeExchange’s services for promotional events (for example, free listing days); such changes are effective when BikeExchange posts the temporary promotional event on the Site. BikeExchange may, at BikeExchange’s sole discretion, change some or all of BikeExchange’s services at any time. In the event BikeExchange introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars (USD).
In certain situations, including but not limited to a void or invalid transaction, BikeExchange may issue a credit for the applicable fees to a seller’s billing statement.
In the event that BikeExchange bills your account in error, you will be provided a refund.
Fees and Termination: If BikeExchange terminates a listing or your account, if you close your account, or if the payment of your BikeExchange fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to pay BikeExchange for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. Cancellations of subscriptions must be received by BikeExchange in writing via mail or email (Info@bikeexchange.com) by 5.00pm (Pacific Time) on the previous business day to when your billing would normally occur, to the below addresses:

Cancellation of your subscription will result in a cessation to new billing. All services relating to your BikeExchange account will end on the day that any cancellation is advised by and agreed with the Retail Member by BikeExchange. In such cases no retroactive refunds will be made for any unused portion of the billing cycle. If the seller’s account is not paid in full and becomes past due, the seller risks penalties such as the suspension of privileges and/or termination of the account and other collection mechanisms (including retaining collection agencies and legal counsel). If you have a question or wish to dispute a charge, please contact BikeExchange via email at . info@bikeexchange.com
