5. Classified Advertisements and “Buy and Sell” Services.
5.1 Fees and Services.
Bidding on or purchasing items made available by registered users through this Site is free. The Post may, however, charge you fees for listing items for sale through this Site. When you list an item you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. These fees and any credits on those fees are subject to The Post’s then current fee schedule and credit policies which may be changed from time to time. The fee schedule and credit policies are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Changes to the fee schedule and credit policies are effective 7 days after The Post posts the changes on this Site. The Post may choose to temporarily change its fee schedule and credit policies and the fees for The Post’s services for promotional events (for example, free listing days) and such changes are effective when The Post posts the temporary promotional event on this Site. The Post may in its sole discretion change some or all of the services offered through this Site, including the classified advertisements or “buy and sell” services at any time. If The Post 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 U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using this Site and the services offered through this Site as well as all sales, use, and other taxes, fees, surcharges, levies, duties and similar charges (collectively, “Taxes”) applicable to such use and services. In addition, all Taxes due as a result of the sale or purchase of items through this Site (whether sales tax, use tax or otherwise) are the responsibility of the buyer and seller in the applicable transaction, and such parties will comply with all Laws (as defined below) relating to the payment of such Taxes. The Post is providing you with the capability to use the services on this Site and you are responsible for providing all equipment necessary to establish a connection and access to the World Wide Web and any telephone or other connection and service fees associated with such access.
5.2 This Site is a Venue.
The Post is not an auctioneer and is not acting as an auctioneer through this Site. This Site acts as a venue to allow anyone, subject to this Agreement and The Post’s applicable policies, guidelines and rules, to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format, a negotiated price and an auction-style format. The Post is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, The Post has 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. The Post cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. The Post does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this Agreement will modify the governing provisions of Colo. Rev. Stat. § 4-2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller.
5.3 Identity Verification.
The Post may use a variety of techniques to verify the accuracy of the information registered users provide to The Post when they register on this Site. Because user verification on the Internet is difficult, The Post cannot and does not confirm each user’s purported identity. The Post encourages you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on this Site. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.
5.4 Bidding and Buying.
As a buyer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller: (a) if you purchase an item through one of the fixed price formats; or (b) if you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction (meeting the applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and your bid is accepted by the seller and the transaction is not prohibited by law or by this Agreement. Please note this is an “Overtime Auction” format. This means that if a new bid is placed within 5 minutes of the scheduled end of the auction, the end of the auction is extended 5 minutes from the time of the last bid. An auction will not end until there has been at least 5 minutes of inactivity. By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item’s description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Unless you and the seller agree otherwise, you will become the item’s lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the seller, in accordance with Colo. Rev. Stat. § 4-2-401(2). Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances, such as: (i) when the seller materially changes the item’s description after you bid; (ii) a clear typographical error is made; (iii) you cannot authenticate the seller’s identity; or (iv) when the seller does not confirm your purchase. If you choose to bid on mature audience items or items that are restricted to adult use, you are certifying that you have the legal right to purchase such items.
5.5 Listing and Selling.
(a) Listing Description.
You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on this Site. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of this Site, however your terms of sale may not conflict with this Agreement and any conflicting terms will be null and void. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All listed items must be listed in an appropriate category. All items in multiple item listings must be identical. The Post reserves the right to remove a listing at any time for any reason whatsoever, in its sole discretion. Upon such removal, the auction or sale under that listing will be terminated and no auction or sale will be consummated regardless of whether or not any minimum or reserve price has been met.
(b) Binding Bids.
Unless you state otherwise in your listing, if you receive at least one bid at or above your stated minimum price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), you are obligated as the seller to complete the transaction with the highest bidder upon the auction’s completion, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (i) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method); or (ii) you cannot authenticate the buyer’s identity.
(c) Fraud.
Without limiting any of The Post’s other rights or remedies, The Post may suspend or terminate your account if The Post suspects (by evidence of conviction or settlement, from an insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) you have engaged in fraudulent activity or in the sale of counterfeit items through this Site.
(d) Manipulation.
You may not manipulate the listed price of any item nor may you interfere with other user’s listings or transactions. Without limiting any of The Post’s other rights or remedies, The Post may, in its sole discretion, determine that you have engaged in such manipulation and may terminate your right to use this Site.

You agree to indemnify The Post and its Affiliates, and The Post’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise from: (a) your use or misuse of this Site; (b) the Content you Publish on this Site; (c) the items you bid on, list, purchase, offer for sale, or sell on or through this Site; (d) any disputes that may arise with one or more users of this Site, including users of the classified advertisements or “buy and sell” services; or (e) any other breach of this Agreement.
