This service (referred to hereafter as "the Service") is subject to the following Terms of Service ("Terms"). Use of indieCart.com ("Site") implies compliance with these Terms.

Please check these Terms frequently, as we may amend them at any time. Your continued use of indieCart's Services will constitute your acceptance of the most up-to-date Terms. If you do not agree with these or future updates of these Terms, please discontinue use of our Services.

We may change the fees for our Services from time to time. Our fee changes are effective fourteen (14) days after notification via postings on the indieCart site. All fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars.
  3. indieCart is a venue indieCart is not a Retailer. This Site acts as a venue to allow people to offer, sell, and buy handmade goods, at any time, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as "online auctions" or "auctions.". We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release indieCart from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) 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.

  4.

      • You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on the Site. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of the Site. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item

Bids, lottery entries and "Buy Now" purchases are not retractable except with the expressed permission of the seller.
      • You are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller if you purchase an item in any indieCart shop within seven (7) days
