WaZooie User Agreement
Welcome to WaZooie.com.
This Agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our
services at WaZooie. WaZooie is owned and operated by Auction Boutique, Inc. If
you have any questions please send your inquiry to admin@WaZooie.com.
We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site.
This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in a writing signed by you
and WaZooie. This agreement was last revised on April 7th 2008.
Membership Requirements.
All requests for membership to WaZooie.com are subject to approval and may be
denied at our discretion. Our services are available only to individuals 18 and
over who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. WaZooie or any
name given is a family friendly website. Sellers attempting to sell Pornography
(or adult materials of any kind) through our website will be removed immediately
and banned from using our services indefinitely. If you do not qualify, please

Fees and Services.
Joining and bidding on items at WaZooie is free. Please review our help
section on fees, by
clicking here. Fees are subject to change periodically. However - all members
will be notified via email at least 14 days prior to such changes. After 14 days,
any changes will automatically become effective and will be posted in the fee
section of our website. Temporary changes to our fee schedule may be implemented
without notice in the event that we are running specials or promotions for sellers
(for example, free featured listings). Notice of these changes will be announced
under the ‘News’ section on our homepage, and may be sent to users via email as
well. When you list an item you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees
that you will be charged for the use of our listing services. We may in our sole
discretion, change some or all of our services at any time. In the event we introduce
a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service.

for paying all fees associated with using our service and our website and all

WaZooie is Only a Venue.
3.1 Overview. Our site acts as the venue for sellers to list
items (or, as appropriate, solicit offers to buy) and buyers to bid on items.
We are not involved in the actual transaction 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. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will
actually complete a transaction.
3.2 Safe Trading. Because user authentication on the Internet
is difficult, WaZooie cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity.
Thus, we have established a user-initiated feedback system to help you evaluate
with whom you are dealing. We also encourage you to communicate directly with
potential trading partners. You may also wish to consider using a third party
escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.
3.3 Release. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more
users, you release WaZooie (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries
and employees) 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. If
you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code #167;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."
3.4 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 foreign nationals, underage persons
or people acting under false pretense.
Bidding and Buying.
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, you
are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller, unless the transaction
is prohibited by law or by this Agreement. By bidding on an item you agree to
be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item's description (or linked
to from the description) so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation
of this Agreement or unlawful. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional
circumstances such as when the seller materially changes the item's description
after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot authenticate
the seller's identity.
Listing and Selling.
5.1 Listing Description. Listings may only include text descriptions,
graphics and pictures you supply to our site (or that you link to from our site)
that describe your item for sale (or as appropriate, for which are soliciting
offers to buy). At no time shall an auction listing be "hot linked" to sell similar
items outside of WaZooie during the duration of your listing period. All listed
items must be listed in an appropriate category. All Dutch auction items must
be identical (the size, color, make, and model all must be the same for each item).
At any one time you may not promote identical items in more than ten (10) listings
(whether Dutch or Regular auction style) on our site.
5.2 Binding Bids. 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 to complete the transaction with the highest
bidder upon the auction's completion, unless there is an exceptional circumstance,
such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment
method), or (b) you cannot authenticate the buyer's identity.
5.3 Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, WaZooie may suspend
or terminate your account if you are found (by conviction, settlement, insurance
or escrow investigation, or otherwise) to have engaged in fraudulent activity
in connection with our site.
5.4 Manipulation. Neither bidders nor sellers may manipulate
the price of any item nor may you interfere with other user's listings or auctions.
