5. About Gofarmer

5.1 Gofarmer is not an auctioneer or sales person. Although, we are commonly referred to as an online sales web site, it is important to realise that we are not a traditional seller. Gofarmer acts as a venue which allows registered users to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at any time, from anywhere. We do not review listings provided by users 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 advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy 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 our website. 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.

5.2 Restricted Items. You must not offer, sell, export, bid for, buy or import firearms, knives or other offensive weapons of any sort, or explicit sexual materials or other items of an adult nature. You must not offer or sell dangerous items, or items in a condition liable to cause harm to people or property. Gofarmer does not accept any obligation to protect you from unsafe items listed for sale on the Gofarmer website. Please do not assume that items listed will be harmless to people or property.

5.3 Identity verification. Gofarmer cannot and does not confirm the purported identity of users or the validity of the information which users post to our website. We encourage you to communicate with potential trading partners using the tools available on our website.

5.4 Release. In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any other user arising from that user's use of our website, you agree to pursue such right, claim or action independently of and without recourse to us, and you release Gofarmer (and our 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.

5.5 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users which is made available through our system. 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 our site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretence. You understand that all information, data, text, photographs, messages or other materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated. This means you, and not Gofarmer, are entirely responsible for all content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via this service.

6. Buying.

As a buyer, you will be obligated to complete an agreed transaction with a seller, not Gofarmer.

7. Listing and Selling.

Listing Description. If you are a seller, you must ensure that you are legally able to sell each item included in a listing, and that it is lawful to sell such item within the country you intend to sell to or (if the buyer is resident overseas from you) that it is lawful to sell and export such item to a person resident in the buyer's jurisdiction. All items must be listed in an appropriate category.
