Existing users will be bound by the amended Terms and Conditions after the expiry of 30 days following the date of a Notice.

This User Agreement is effective on 1st February 2008 for new registering users and is otherwise effective on 1st February 2008 for all users registered thereafter.

1. Membership Eligibility.
Our services are not available to, and may not be used by, persons under the age of 18 years. If you are under 18 years old, you can use this service only in conjunction with and under the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services.

3. Rotata is Only a Venue.
3.1 Rotata acts as a venue which allows registered users to offer, sell, and buy just about anything which is legal, at any time, from anywhere, in a variety of price formats. We do not review listings provided by users, we never possess the items offered through the Site and we are not involved in transactions between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items listed; the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. Do not assume that the offer, sale, purchase, export or import of any item is valid and legal simply because it is listed on the Site. We are not responsible for ensuring that buyers and sellers actually complete a transaction. You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you.
3.2 Restricted Items. You must not list your site or offer for sale on your site any items which are not permitted on the Site. Such as, any products, sites or information which relates to any Racial, Religious or Gender Hatred. We will not accept listings that we consider unsafe, such as any Site Listings, Products or Information that in any way whatsoever relates to any Unlawful Activity, Advancement and Publication of any Information regarding Terrorism or Terrorist Activity, Unlawful Sexual Activity with Children or Minors, Racial, Religious or Gender Bigotry. Although we take precautions to prevent such listings we cannot always be sure that no such listings have been placed on the Site and as such do not assume that items listed will be harmless to people or property.
3.3 Identity verification. We use many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide to us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Rotata cannot and does not confirm the purported identity of users or the validity of the information which users post to the Site. We encourage you to communicate with potential trading partners using the tools available on the Site and satisfy yourself as to their identity and ability to supply the product or information as described in their individual listing/s
3.4 Liability. In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any other user arising from that user's use of the Site, you agree to pursue such right, claim or action independently of and without recourse to us, and you release Rotata (and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees) from all claims, liability, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees, known and unknown, arising from or in any way connected with such right, claim or action.
3.5 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users which is made available through the Site. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretences. By using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and agree that Rotata is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Site.

4. Listing and Selling.
4.1 Listing Description. If you are a seller, you must ensure that you are legally able to sell each item included in a listing on the Site, and that it is lawful to sell such item to residents of your Country or State or (if the buyer is resident overseas) that it is lawful to sell and export such item to a person resident in the buyer's jurisdiction. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of permitted products and you are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use all content in your listings and we have the right to host it on our servers.
4.2 No Cancellation. You acknowledge that we will commence supplying our services to you as soon as you have sent a "Submit Your Site" form to us, and you recognise that you will not have the right to cancel any listing under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 or any equivalent legislation in your jurisdiction.

5. Fees.
Joining Rotata and browsing the Site is free, although you will remain responsible for the costs of accessing our Site and communicating with our users. We charge fees for listing enhancements through our Site and when you specify said enhancements you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. We may change this policy at any time, and any change will be effective after the expiry of 14 days following the date of posting on the announcements board on the Site (or such later date as we may notify). However, we may choose to temporarily change our Fees the fees for our services for promotional events and such changes are effective when we announce the temporary promotional event on the Site.

In the event we introduce a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service unless otherwise stated.

Please note, that your country (and/or that of any user you deal with) may have laws which apply to your transactions with other users regardless of what you agree with us (now) or with that user (later).
The laws of your country may be different from English law, including laws governing what can be legally offered, sold, exported, bought or imported. There may be additional legal requirements, relating to (for example) the requirement to hold a licence to buy or sell certain items, or to register a transfer in a central registry. You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our service and your listing, purchase and solicitation of offers to purchase and sale of items. There is no practical way for us to continually monitor the laws of every country, or each user transaction. Please do not assume that you are allowed to do what other users do, or that we are approving or validating any transaction, even if you have successfully made similar sales or purchases in the past.

Disputes between you and Rotata regarding our services may be reported to Rotata using the ‘Contact Us’ link located within the navigation area of the home page. We encourage you to report all disputes between users to your local law enforcement body.

These Terms and Conditions set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to its subject matter. No oral explanation or oral information given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms and Conditions.
This Agreement will prevail over any conditions of sale imposed and incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.
