Welcome to Globalshoes.Net E-Commerce Corp.'s Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement").

Please read this agreement carefully!
The following describes the terms and conditions on which Globalshoes offers you access to the service.
1. Acceptance Of Terms
By accessing our web site past the home page, you agree that you have entered into this Agreement with Globalshoes.net E-Commerce Corp. ("Globalshoes") and that you will be bound by the terms and conditions hereof ("Terms"), which Globalshoes in its discretion may change from time to time. We will post a notice on our web site to inform you of any changes to the Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must discontinue using the Service. The changed Terms shall automatically be effective immediately after they are initially posted on the homepage of our site. Your continued use of the Service will signify your acceptance of the changed Terms. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the Service shall be subject to this Agreement. This Agreement may not be otherwise modified except in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Globalshoes.
2. Who Can Use Globalshoes
The Service is only available to individuals or companies who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Thus, you must be at least 18 years of age to use our services. If you do not qualify, please do not use the Service. Globalshoes may, in its sole discretion, refuse the Service to anyone at any time. The Service is not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Globalshoes members.
3. Fees
Joining Globalshoes and the use of the Service is free! We reserve the right to charge fees for the Service upon notice to you pursuant to paragraph 1. You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to trade, procure a listing from us, or access our servers. We reserve the right to change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, some or all of the Service at any time without notice.
4. Globalshoes Is Only A Venue For Trading
Our site acts as the venue for users to locate people to trade with, to negotiate the exchange of goods and services and to obtain various trade-related services. However, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items being traded, the truth or accuracy of the item listings, the ability of traders to fulfill their obligations in a trade agreement. We cannot and do not control whether or not traders will complete their part of a trade. In addition, note that there are risks of dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense.
5. Your Information And Items For Trade

With respect to Your Information, you are solely responsible for Your Information, and we act as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of Your Information. We may take any action, however, with respect to Your Information we deem necessary or appropriate in 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 ISPs or other suppliers. You hereby warrant that you have all rights, including all copyrights, necessary to submit Your Information to Globalshoes. You acknowledge that Globalshoes does not take any responsibility to determine what information that is submitted to us is protected, nor will we be responsible for the use of Your Information by other users of the Service.

If you have registered with us on behalf of a company or other entity, then you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such company or other entity to the Terms.

8. The Trading Process
8.1 Listing An Item
Listings are text descriptions, graphics and/or pictures on Globalshoes's web site supplied by you that either: (a) describe an item you have that you want to trade, or (b) describe an item you are looking for. You may post either or both of these listing types of listings on Globalshoes's site, provided that you place such listings in an appropriate category. Globalshoes is not responsible for the accuracy or content of listings (including any translations thereof).
8.2 Negotiating A Trade
Traders on Globalshoes negotiate with each other through the process of formulating offers and counteroffers. Acceptance of an offer or counteroffer by all parties constitutes an obligation for Globalshoes users involved to complete the transaction. Acceptances and Offers are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as a user materially changing the description of the item after your offer was made or clear typographical errors, or when you can not authenticate the identity of a user involved in the trade. Globalshoes is not responsible for the accuracy of, or any error or omission in, any information contained in any Request for Quote, Purchase Order, Quote or other online document that is part of the "My Trade Activity" feature.
8.3 Handling Trading Disputes
We do not and cannot be involved in dealings between traders. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more users or third-party service providers whose services you obtain through our web site, you release Globalshoes (and our agents and employees) from any claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code _1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
8.4 Use Common Sense
We cannot nor do we try to control the information provided by other users which is made available through the Service. By its very nature, other people's information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that you will use caution and common sense when using our site
9.1 No Trade Manipulation
You agree to not use a shill (a secondary account or third party) to manipulate the outcome of a negotiation with another trader.
9.2 System Integrity
You agree that you will not use any device, software or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Globalshoes.net site or any trade being conducted on our site. You may not take any action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure. You may not disclose or share your password to any third parties or use your password for any unauthorized purpose.
9.3 Feedback
You may not take any actions which may undermine the integrity of the feedback system (e.g., "Member Tag"), such as: leaving positive feedback for yourself using secondary Member IDs or third parties; leaving negative feedback for other users using secondary member IDs or third parties (feedback bombing); or leaving negative feedback if a user fails to perform some action that is outside the scope of the trade (feedback extortion).
9.4 No Commercial Exploitation
You agree that you may not commercially exploit any information, including but not limited to, copying (through robot, spider, any other automatic device or manual process) any information displayed, on the Globalshoes web site without prior written authorization from an authorized officer of Globalshoes
10. Termination
You agree that Globalshoes, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service, and remove and discard Your Information within the Service, for any reason, including without limitation, if Globalshoes believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter and spirit of the Agreement. Globalshoes may also, in its sole discretion and at any time, discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Globalshoes may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Globalshoes shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. Paragraphs 12, 13, 14, and 22 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
11. What Happens if You Break the Rules
Without limiting other remedies, we may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership, any of your current listings, and any other information you place on the site if (i) you breach this Agreement, (ii) we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us or (iii) we believe that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our users, third-party service providers whose services are provided through our web site or us.
