Trade Procedure
When a sale is agreed upon, the SELLER
obtains an authorization number, which must be
secured from BarterItOnline. BarterItOnline has no
obligation to post a transaction unless an
authorization was obtained at time of sale. BarterItOnline
reserves the right to refuse to issue an authorization
number under any of the following conditions:
-
Buyer
does not have sufficient BarterItOnline to cover
purchases.
-
Either
party is not a user in good standing. Definition
of Users in good standing: a User who complies
with the current Trading Rules and any other
agreements in effect with BarterItOnline, who is
current in any fees or E-Dollars owing to BarterItOnline
and who is a user in good standing. Only Users
in good standing are entitled to the services of BarterItOnline.
Trade
Fees
The SELLER pays a commission fee to BarterItOnline
on PURCHASES only. There are no other membership,
maintenance, or service fees. Cash transaction fees
are charged to the user's credit card at the time of
the transaction.
The
transaction fees on sales range from 8% to 4%
and

There
is no transaction fee on sales. BarterItOnline charges
transaction fees for any purchases completed using BarterItOnline.
In
the event that a User fails to pay any fees or
charges or any other monies which become payable to BarterItOnline
under this Agreement by the date upon which they
become payable, then BarterItOnline shall be entitled
to charge interest in cash on the cash amounts
outstanding at the rate of 18% per annum, compounded
monthly, until paid.
If a User is in arrears of payment to BarterItOnline
of any fees or charges for more than 21 days BarterItOnline
may freeze the User's Trade Account and prevent that User
from participating as a purchaser in any Trade
until satisfactory arrangements are made with BarterItOnline
for payment of the arrears.
To better secure payment of all monies payable by a User
to BarterItOnline, each User grants to BarterItOnline
a charge over all E-Dollars credited to that User's
Trade Account for the amount of all unpaid fees and
charges owed to BarterItOnline from time to time.
BarterItOnline shall, at its sole discretion, be
entitled to require immediate pre-payment in cash of
the Transaction Fees which will become payable on the
debit or credit balance of the User's Trade Account.
E-Dollars
and Accounts
It is understood that non-cash barter
currency issued by BarterItOnline ("E-Dollars")
and/or other funds may be required in order to buy and
sell on the service. Users and BarterItOnline
acknowledge and agree that E-Dollars are not bank
deposits, legal tender, securities or commodities, and
may not be redeemed for cash, nor are they FDIC
insured. In no event shall BarterItOnline
be required to refund, redeem, or pay any amounts to
User for any E-Dollars, or allow conversion or
liquidation of E-Dollars. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BarterItOnline may, from time to time,
offer special promotions to Users whereby BarterItOnline
may, at its sole discretion, provide refunds to Users
of E-Dollars, up to an amount equivalent to the number
of E-Dollars purchased by the User from BarterItOnline.
Except as otherwise expressly approved by BarterItOnline
in advance in writing, E-Dollars shall not be
transferable, and User shall not transfer, assign,
pledge or hypothecate any E-Dollars or interest in its
account in any way, directly or indirectly, except as
required for the bona fide purchase of goods or services
through the service or as required for a line of
credit issued by BarterItOnline. From time to time and
at BarterItOnline's sole discretion, BarterItOnline
may allow User to purchase E-Dollars from BarterItOnline
using U.S. dollars or other currency approved by BarterItOnline.
When User requests to purchase an item, E-Dollars may
be immediately deducted from User's account as
required for the transaction. When User sells an item,
E-Dollars may be passed to User's account subject to
restrictions during a vesting or escrow period.
Without limiting the foregoing, BarterItOnline
reserves the right to restrict use of such E-Dollars
for a period of thirty (30) days from the time of the
sale.
User agrees that: (i) BarterItOnline does not
guarantee that User will be satisfied with selection
of, or prices for, products or services available on
the service; (ii) BarterItOnline will not pay interest
on balances in User's account; (iii) BarterItOnline
does not guarantee that there will be adequate
currency reserves to cover all outstanding claims in
the service; (iv) BarterItOnline reserves the right to
recall all loans and obligations, if any, at any time,
and (v) BarterItOnline does not take responsibility
for, and shall not be liable for, any act or omission
of BarterItOnline which does not constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of BarterItOnline
and, in no event, shall be responsible or liable for
any act or omission of any third party or any losses,
costs, damages or liabilities arising from any of the
foregoing.
BarterItOnline shall have the right, but not the
obligation, in its sole discretion to: (i) restrict
use of E-Dollars User receives for a transaction for a
period of time after the completion of the transaction
and thereafter pending resolution of any dispute
regarding the transaction; (ii) require escrow,
vesting or other procedures before User can use E-Dollars
stored in User's account; (iii) offset or apply E-Dollars
or other funds in User's account against any payment,
line of credit or other obligation that User may have
arising out of or relating to the service including an
obligation to BarterItOnline, to other users, or to
advertisers, partners, suppliers and service providers
of BarterItOnline (collectively, "service
Providers"); (iv) offset amounts due to BarterItOnline
or service Providers against amounts or liabilities
owed to User, whether in cash or E-Dollars; (v)
cancel, freeze and/or otherwise restrict User's
account or the use of E-Dollars in User's account for
breach of this Agreement, an investigation of User's
account by a government or other authority or default
by User upon any obligation to BarterItOnline.
BarterItOnline may at its discretion, by mail, email,
postings within User's account or other reasonable
means, provide User a statement detailing User's
transactions and account balance. Thirty (30) days
after the date of such statement, the statement shall
be deemed accepted by User unless User has notified BarterItOnline
by mail in writing to the address identified
hereinunder that User disputes the accuracy of the
statement.
Unless otherwise expressly stated by BarterItOnline,
all fees and payments to BarterItOnline and service
Providers shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BarterItOnline shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to accept E-Dollars
in satisfaction of fees, in whole or in part, and to
deduct corresponding amounts from User's account.
Trading
Assistance
User
acknowledges that the sole principals in any trade are
the buyer and the seller.
User
acknowledges that trades are entered into voluntarily,
and that BarterItOnline is not a guarantor of any
transaction. BarterItOnline will use its best efforts
to record trades accurately, to administer the trading
regulations in accordance with their terms, and to assist in
the sale of users' goods and services to other BarterItOnline
users. However, the initiative for using BarterItOnline
services for economic benefit is exclusively that of
the user. BarterItOnline shall use its best efforts
to enroll new individuals and businesses with products
and services to meet the needs of users. Ultimately,
the responsibility of bring goods and services to the
exchange is the responsibility of its users. BarterItOnline
is responsible if a user cannot find specific
products or services or customers for their products
and services.
Special
Trade Procedures
The following applies to transaction involving a cash
portion. Any cash payments are the sole responsibility
of the buyer and the seller. BarterItOnline is only
responsible to record the transaction according to the
guidelines outlined in "Record Keeping" and BarterItOnline
is not responsible for the interpretation or
fulfillment of any of the obligations of the buyer and
seller.
On
all products and scrip for services owned and sold by BarterItOnline,
the only warranty BarterItOnline makes is that it has
title free and clear from any lien or encumbrance.
Products are sold "As is, where is". BarterItOnline
makes no warranty either express or implied, by
operation of law or otherwise as to the
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of
such products or services, and Buyer shall look solely
to the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of such
merchandise for any warranty.
Record Keeping
User
shall be responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of its User account and password and
shall be responsible for any and all transactions by
users given access to such account or password and any
and all consequences of use or misuse of such account
and password. User agrees that all employees, agents,
representatives and others having access to the
account and/or password shall (i) agree in advance to
be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and (ii) be vested by User with the
authority to use the service and legally bind User,
including without limitation with respect to payments
and transactions. User shall be responsible for all
actions by such employees, agents, representatives and
others, including but not limited to former employees,
agents, and representatives, and shall indemnify BarterItOnline
for such actions as set forth herein. BarterItOnline
reserves the right to impose additional conditions and
restrictions upon multi-user accounts, including
without limitation: (i) requiring that each individual
having access to an account separately register and
obtain a sub-account and password, and (ii) requiring
an administrator to be appointed for the account. User
agrees to notify BarterItOnline immediately of any
unauthorized use of any password or account or any
other breach of security regarding the service of
which User has knowledge.
User agrees to provide current, complete and accurate
information ("Registration Information")
during the process of registration with, and use of,
the service and to update such information to keep it
current, complete and accurate. BarterItOnline shall
have the right to use the Registration Information for
such uses as reasonably required or advisable for the service.

Administration of the Trade
Exchange
A "trade" is a barter purchase or sale for
goods or services. Payment is made by posting the
debits and credits to the buying and selling users'
accounts, pursuant to these Rules. An
"E-Dollar" is
an accounting unit used to record the value of trades
determined by the selling user. The assumed value is
ONE E-DOLLAR = ONE US DOLLAR. E-Dollars denote
the right to receive goods and services of other users, or the obligation to provide goods and services
to other users. E-Dollars may not be redeemed
for cash. User grants BarterItOnline the right to
make E-Dollar loans to any user on terms and
conditions consistent with user's credit worthiness
and ability to repay. User acknowledges and grants
to BarterItOnline the right and power to regulate and
control the number of E-Dollars.
Trading
Regulations/Termination
BarterItOnline reserves the right, at its sole
discretion, to suspend the trading privileges of any user
who is in violation of any local, State or
Federal law, who engages in overpricing, direct
trades, or otherwise violates these Rules, or when
cash or trade fees are due for more than thirty (30)
days. In the latter case trading privileges shall be
reinstated immediately upon payment. Either party may
terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written
notice to the other party. Upon termination, all cash
and E-Dollar service fees outstanding become due and
payable. No service fee will be refunded. Any User with a negative trade balance (where purchase exceed
sales) must balance their account within thirty (30)
days. After that period, user must immediately pay BarterItOnline
any remaining negative balance in cash. Any negative
balance not paid within the 30 days may be turned over
to a registered collection agency for collection, and
any legal expenses or attorney fees involved in the collection will be paid by the user. User with a positive trade balance (where sales exceed
purchases) may spend the positive balance within one
hundred and twenty (120) days.
Listing and Use of a User's
Trading Information
A User's trading information includes any
information provided to BarterItOnline during the
registration, buying or listing process. With respect
to this Trading Information:
Each User is solely responsible for their trading
information, and BarterItOnline acts as a passive
conduit for their online distribution and publication
of that information. However, BarterItOnline reserves
the right to take any action with respect to such
information deemed necessary or appropriate at our
sole discretion if we believe it may create liability
for us or may cause us to lose (in whole or in part)
the services of our suppliers.
Each User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BarterItOnline
and its agents with respect to any claim based upon
the publication or transmission of your trading
information.
Each User's trading information and the sale of
item(s) on the BarterItOnline site:
(a) shall not infringe any third party's copyright,
patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary
rights or rights of publicity or privacy;
(b) shall not violate any law, statute, ordinance or
regulation;
(c) shall not be defamatory, trade libelous,
unlawfully threatening or harassing;

or, if other than pornographic or indecent, shall be
available only to people legally permitted to receive
such content;
(e) shall not contain any virus or other computer
programming routines that are intended to damage,
detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously
intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal
information.
A User may not post or publish on the site any
trading information that could cause BarterItOnline
directly or indirectly to violate any applicable law,
statute, ordinance or regulation.
The price (in E-Dollars) of the products or services a
User publishes must not be inflated, and must comply
with any recommended retail or recommended wholesale
prices issued by BarterItOnline from time to time. If
a User breaches this clause, BarterItOnline may
instigate the following procedure:
(a) BarterItOnline may give written notification of
the breach of this clause and request compliance with
this clause; and
(b) if after receiving a notice from BarterItOnline
pursuant to above (a), a User breaches this clause
again, BarterItOnline may immediately terminate their
membership.
Solely to enable BarterItOnline to use the trading
information supplied by a User, so that we are not
violating any rights that a User might have in that
information, each User agrees to grant us a
non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable,
royalty-free, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers)
right to exercise the copyright and publicity rights
(but no other rights) held in the trading information,
in any media now known or not currently known. BarterItOnline
will only use such trading information to facilitate
the trading activity and to promote increased membership
of BarterItOnline.
Use of other Users'
Information
Each User agrees that, with respect to other Users' personally identifiable information that can
be obtained through the web site, this information may
be used only for:
(a) BarterItOnline related communications that are not
unsolicited commercial messages, and
(b) any other purpose that such User expressly opts
into after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In
this case a User must give other Users an
opportunity to remove themselves from any database and
a chance to review what information has been collected
about them.
Under no circumstances can a User disclose
personally identifiable information about another User
to any third party without the consent of BarterItOnline
and the consent of the other User.
A User whose Trade Account has a debit balance is
liable to either:
(a) supply products or services to other Users in
accordance with this Agreement to an equivalent value;
or
(b) to pay to BarterItOnline an amount in cash
equivalent to the amount in E-Dollars of the debit
balance.
Providing a Line of Credit to
Users
The User's credit limit is the maximum amount of
approved credit that applies to their account. Any
purchases from a User's account will be applied
firstly from any positive balances and secondly from
the credit limit.
Repayments to the User's
Account
If a User makes a purchase from their account and
has not made reasonable attempts to make sales within
90 days of that first purchase then BarterItOnline
reserves the right to seek a repayment reduction of
the credit limit by an amount not exceeding 20% of the
outstanding balance.

fee for accounting and associated costs incurred
including, but not limited to: returned checks, direct
debits that are not accepted, and failed credit card
transactions.
All trades are to be
conducted on a 100% trade basis unless the Seller has, before entering the trade, obtained the
consent of BarterItOnline to trade in cash or partly
in cash and partly by way of E-Dollars, which consent
may be withheld by BarterItOnline at its sole and absolute
discretion.
Any trade of T$10,000 value or greater may be
conducted as part trade and part cash with the consent
of BarterItOnline.

any requirements relating to any applicable sales,
consumption, excise or other taxes required by law and
under no circumstances shall BarterItOnline be
responsible to pay or collect any such taxes on behalf
of any User.
BarterItOnline shall not under any circumstances have
any obligation to any User to redeem or convert to
cash or pay any amount for or in respect of E-Dollars

noted below in "Trading By BarterItOnline"); or
(b) guarantee any Trade or E-Dollar; or
(c) be otherwise liable in any way to the Users in
respect of the transaction.
