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.
