  3. Fees

We may in our sole discretion add, delete or change some or all of our services at any time. Also, additional cost for some transactions where admin and logistics charges may apply.


  4. Disclaimer

    The Website is only a venue. Our site acts as the venue for buyers and sellers to solicit business. Although, we are involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, however, 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 buy items. We cannot and do not control whether or not sellers will complete the sale of items they offer. We cannot and do not control whether or not buyers will complete the purchase of items they have bid on. In addition, note that there are risks of dealing with people acting under false pretense. Because we do not and cannot control the action of others, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release AgroConnect.com Pte Ltd. (and our agents and employees and any third party partners and/or licensees of AgroConnect.com Pte Ltd.) 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. For legal reasons, we cannot nor do we try to control the information provided by other users, which is made available through our system. We expect that you will use caution -- and common sense -- when using our site.


  5. Bidding and Buying

    If you bid on an item and your bid is accepted by the seller (or the buyer in the case of a "name your own price" bid), you are obligated to complete the transaction. Bidding has the same effect in law as entering into a firm purchase order. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as the seller (or buyer) materially changing the description of the item after your bid. If you choose to bid on restricted use products, you are certifying that you have the legal right to purchase these products.


  6. Listing and Selling

It is the responsibility of the seller to insure that only properly registered products are sold to buyers.
