Exhibit 10.19    
    



Participation Agreement  


        Welcome to the Amazon.com site (the "Site") and our auction and selling services (the "Services"). Any person who wants to access the Site and use the Services to
sell items must accept the terms and conditions of this Participation Agreement without change. BY REGISTERING FOR AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, AND ALL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES OF THE SITE ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. 


        Amazon
Services, Inc. ("Amazon") reserves the right to change any of the terms and conditions contained in this Participation Agreement or any policies or guidelines governing the
Site or Services, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes will be effective upon posting of the revisions on the Site. All notice of changes to this Participation Agreement will be posted
on the Site for thirty (30) days. You are responsible for reviewing the notice and any applicable changes. Changes to referenced policies and guidelines may be posted without notice to you.
YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THIS SITE AND THE SERVICES FOLLOWING AMAZON'S POSTING OF ANY CHANGES WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES TO THIS
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES OR THIS SITE. 


        1.    Eligibility.    Use of the Site and Services is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form
contracts under applicable law. For example, minors are not allowed to use the Services. To register, you must provide your real name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and valid
credit card information. 


        2.    Sellers' Listing Fees and Payment Terms.    Please review the Fee Schedule and Payment Terms contained in the
Help section for Marketplace, Auctions, and zShops listing fees. All listing fees are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise and are incorporated herein by reference. The
Fee Schedule and Payment Terms may vary in the future. The Fee Schedule and Payment Terms in effect on the date of listing the item shall govern the transaction. You should check the fees and terms
each time you participate. All fees, including but not limited to subscription plan fees, are payable upon demand on a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or Diners Club credit card. By
listing an item for sale on the Site, you authorize Amazon to charge your credit card for amounts due. 


        3.    Applicable Policies and Guidelines.    You agree to abide by the procedures and guidelines—contained
in the Help section—for conducting fixed price sales and auctions, which are incorporated by reference into, and made part of, this Participation Agreement.
The procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section explain the processes and set out acceptable conduct and prohibited practices. We may change these procedures
and guidelines in the future, and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting without notice to you. You should refer regularly to the Help section to
understand the current procedures and guidelines for participating and to be sure that the items you offer for sale can be auctioned or sold on the Site. 


        4.    Amazon's Role.    Amazon provides a platform for third-party sellers ("Sellers") and buyers ("Buyers") to
negotiate and complete transactions. Amazon is not involved in the actual transaction between Sellers and Buyers and is not the agent of and has no authority for either for any purpose. As a Seller,
you may list any item on the Site unless it is a prohibited item as defined in the procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section, or otherwise prohibited by law.
Without limitation, you may not list any item or link or post any related material that (a) infringes any third-party intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark, patent, and
trade secrets) or other proprietary rights (including rights of publicity or privacy); (b) constitutes libel or slander or is otherwise defamatory; or (c) is counterfeited, illegal,
stolen, or fraudulent. It is up to the Seller to accurately describe the item for sale or auction. As a Seller, you use the Site and the Services at your own risk. 








        5.    The Amazon Payment Service.    IN ORDER TO SELL ITEMS IN MARKETPLACE, AUCTIONS AND/OR ZSHOPS, YOU MUST REGISTER
WITH AMAZON AND USE THE AMAZON PAYMENT SERVICE (the "Payment Service"). 



        a.     The Payment Service facilitates the purchase of Seller items listed on the Site. A Buyer's authorized credit card payment
("Payment Transaction") is credited to a registered Seller's Account Summary, and funds are periodically transferred to the Seller's designated checking account ("Seller's Account"). The Buyer may
authorize a Payment Transaction with any major credit card accepted by Amazon. The Payment Service helps facilitate Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace transactions and is not the purchaser of the
Seller's goods. Seller will resolve any dispute directly with Buyer or with the assistance of the Amazon.com A-to-z Guarantee and not through the Payment Service. Seller must
register online with Amazon to use the Payment Service. You must provide us true and accurate information when registering and must maintain and update that information as applicable. Seller will not
impersonate any person or use a name he or she is not legally authorized to use. Seller authorizes us to verify his or her information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports
about Seller from time to time while Seller is registered with the Payment Service (including credit reports about Seller's spouse if Seller lives in a community property state), and to obtain an
initial credit authorization from Seller's credit card issuer at time of registration. 


        b.     The Payment Service is available only to individuals and others who meet the terms of eligibility for the Amazon online
selling community, who have been issued a credit card by a United States bank, and whose applications are acceptable to Amazon. Payment Transactions can be credited only to bank checking accounts in
the United States. Sellers waive any rights with respect to the Service when shipping to an address other than that provided by the Service. 



        c.     The Payment Service is generally available seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per
day, except for scheduled downtime due to system maintenance. We can initiate Payment Transaction credits to Seller's Account only on a Business Day when the automated clearinghouses are open for
business. For purposes of this Participation Agreement, a Business Day is a Monday through Friday, excluding federal banking holidays. We will send a receipt to Seller via e-mail for each
completed transaction. In addition, Seller can access his or her Payment Service transaction information online on the Manage Your Amazon Payments Account page of the Seller Account section of
Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace when logging on with Seller's password. Seller may access the Seller's Transactions feature only with a browser that is compatible with the Payment Service, including
any security features that are a part of the Payment Service. 


        d.     If in an Auctions or zShops transaction the Buyer has overpaid for a purchase, Seller may use the "Refund Buyer" link on
the Transaction Details page to refund the Buyer through the Payment Service for the amount of the overpayment or to send a refund otherwise owed to Buyer related to the purchase. Similarly, in an
Auctions or zShops transaction, if the Buyer has underpaid for a purchase, Seller can use the "Create invoice" link on the Transaction Details page to request that the Buyer pay the amount still owed
through the Payment Service. For Marketplace sales, Seller may use the "Refund Buyer" link on the Transaction Details page to refund the Buyer through the Payment Service for the entire purchase
amount. Sellers may not create invoices for Marketplace sales. 


        e.     All balances for a given 14-day period will be reflected in the Seller's Account Summary located on the Manage
Your Amazon Payments Account page of the Seller Account section of Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace when logging on with Seller's password. We will initiate a credit to Seller's Account on a rolling
14-day cycle ("Payment Date") based on the original date of Seller's registration with the Payment Service or on the next Business Day if the scheduled Payment Date falls on a
non-Business Day. If Seller requests a change to the scheduled Payment Date, the 14-day cycle will be reset to the requested Payment Date. When Seller completes registration by
providing bank account information, Seller must wait 14 days to request a transfer to Seller's bank within the 14-day cycle. After 14 days, Seller may request transfers to
Seller's 










Account
at any time within the 14-day cycle by clicking the "Transfer funds to bank account now" link on the Seller's Account Summary page. We will initiate a transfer to Seller's Account
on each Payment Date for the total amount of Payment Transactions received from Buyer's authorized credit card transactions for Seller, less any refunds, or for funds otherwise received for Seller
since the last Payment Date. The amount of the fees for Payment Transactions will be posted to Seller's Account Summary and will be deducted from the balance of credits in the Seller's Account Summary
to be remitted to Seller on the next Payment Date. 


        f.      Transfers to the Seller's Account will generally be credited within five Business Days of the date we initiate the
transfer. On occasion, we may send Seller a paper check instead of an electronic credit to Seller's bank account. We will do so, for instance, if Seller's bank will not accept an electronic credit to
Seller's account. 


        g.     Seller must provide a full refund directly to any Buyer who remits payment, either directly or through Amazon, if the item
cannot be shipped at the close of the sale. Seller must provide the refund promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days following the close of the sale. Seller can use the Refund link
on the Payment Transaction receipt to send a refund to Buyer through the Payment Service. 


        h.     As a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction limits on some or all Buyers and Sellers
relating to the value of any transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of
time. We will not be liable to Seller: (i) if we do not proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us for a security reason, or (ii) if we
permit a Buyer to withdraw from a transaction because the Payment Service is unavailable following the commencement of a transaction. 


        i.      We reserve the right to delay initiating the transfer of Payment Transaction credits to a Seller's bank account (or
sending paper checks) pending an investigation if we, in our sole discretion, believe Buyer or Seller may have violated the Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Participation Agreement, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that Seller has violated this Participation Agreement, we may refuse to deliver a Payment Transaction credit to Seller and may instead
maintain the amount of such credit in a trust account or may return the amount of the credit to Buyer. We will not be liable to Seller if we act in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 


        j.      All notices will be sent by e-mail or will be posted on the Amazon Web site. We will send notices to Seller at
the e-mail address maintained in Amazon's records for Seller. Seller will monitor his or her e-mail messages frequently to ensure awareness of any notices sent by us. Seller
will send notices to us at the following address: Amazon Services, Inc., 907 Tahoe Blvd., Box 9, Incline Village, Nevada 89451. E-mail notices are deemed written notices for all
purposes for which written notices may be required. E-mail notices are deemed received the Business Day after transmission if properly addressed to the intended recipient. If not sent by
e-mail, notice may be provided in writing and mailed U.S. Mail, postage paid, First Class mail properly addressed or personally delivered by express courier such as Federal Express. First
Class mail is properly addressed if sent by us to the address maintained in our records for Seller. First Class mail is properly addressed if sent by Seller to the current address published by us on
our Web site. First Class mail is deemed received three Business Days after it is deposited in the U.S. Mail. A notice sent by express courier is deemed received when personally delivered to the
intended recipient or to a person with apparent authority to receive such delivery on behalf of the intended recipient. 


        k.     There is no fee for registering for the Payment Service. The fees for using the Payment Service in Marketplace listings
are included in the Marketplace listing fees (which means there are no additional fees for use of the Payment Service). Fees for using the Payment Service in Auctions or zShops listings are posted in
our Help pages and incorporated herein by this reference. We may, in our sole discretion, waive, reduce, or reverse charges or fees for a specific transaction. 







        l.      We may refuse service to anyone for any reason. We may earn interest or other compensation from the balances in our bank
accounts that result from the timing difference between our being paid by Buyer and our bank account being debited to pay Payment Transaction credits to Seller. We reserve the right to seek
reimbursement from Seller if we, in our sole discretion, decide to reimburse Buyer under the terms of the Amazon.com A-to-Z Guarantee, provide a refund to Buyer if Seller
cannot promptly deliver the goods, discover erroneous or duplicate transactions, or receive a chargeback from Buyer's credit card issuer for the amount of Buyer's purchase from Seller. We may obtain
such reimbursement by deducting from future payments owed to Seller, reversing any credits to Seller's bank account, charging Seller's credit card, or seeking such reimbursement from Seller by any
other lawful means. 


        m.    Seller may terminate his or her participation in the Payment Service at any time by giving notice to us, and we may
terminate Seller's participation in the Payment Service at any time by giving notice to Seller. Upon termination, Seller must pay us whatever fees were incurred prior to the effective date of the
termination. Also upon termination, any pending transactions will be canceled. 




        6.    Amazon Reservation of Rights.    Amazon retains the right to immediately halt any auction or fixed price sale,
prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services, or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of objectionable material, any inaccurate listing, any inappropriately
categorized items, any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section. 



        7.    Amazon Participation.    Amazon and its affiliates itself may participate in auctions from time to time. When
Amazon or its affiliates offers goods for auction, it is no different than any other Seller engaged in an auction and will abide by the same procedures and guidelines contained in the
Help section. In addition, employees of Amazon and its affiliates are permitted to participate in their personal capacity (i.e., not as Amazon employees, representatives,
or agents of Amazon or its affiliates) in the transactions conducted through this Site (unless they have confidential information about a particular item). Employees of Amazon and its affiliates, when
participating in any transaction in their personal capacity, are subject to this Participation Agreement and the same procedures and guidelines contained in the Help
section as any Buyer or Seller on this Site. 


        8.    Your Transactions    



        a.     For sales where a Seller lists goods at a fixed price ("fixed price sales"), the Seller is obligated to sell the goods at
the listed price to Buyers who meet the Seller's terms. By listing an item in a fixed price sale or by auction, you represent and warrant to prospective Buyers that you have the right and ability to
sell, and that the listing is accurate, current, and complete and is not misleading or otherwise deceptive. 


        b.     For auctions, unless a Seller specifies a "reserve price," all auction items are "without reserve," i.e., the Seller must
sell the auctioned item to the highest bidder that meets or exceeds the minimum price. If a Seller sets an undisclosed "reserve price," the Seller is not obligated to sell unless the reserve price is
met or exceeded. Once the auction closes, the Seller is obligated to complete the transaction. 



        c.     For fixed price sales, Seller will determine the purchase price for each item he or she lists on the Site via and subject
to Amazon.com's standard functionality for listing the purchase price; provided, that Seller must abide by the same procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section
with respect to pricing. 




        9.    Your Obligation.    By entering into this Participation Agreement and posting a listing for auction or fixed
price sale, you agree to complete the transaction as described by this Participation Agreement. You acknowledge that by not fulfilling these obligations, your action or inaction may be legally
actionable. 


        10.    Sales, Use, or Similar Taxes.    You agree that it is the Seller's and the Buyer's responsibility to determine
whether sales, use, or similar taxes apply to the transactions and to collect, report, and 








remit
the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You also agree that Amazon is not obligated to determine whether sales, use, or similar taxes apply and is not responsible to collect, report,
or remit any sales, use, or similar taxes arising from any transaction. 


        11.    Refund Obligation.    Sellers must provide a full refund directly to any Buyer who remits payment, whether the
Buyer paid directly or through Amazon, if the item cannot be shipped at the close of the sale. Seller must provide the refund promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days following the
close of the sale. Any Buyer who believes he/she may be entitled to a refund on this basis can contact the Seller directly. 



        12.    Password Security.    Your password may be used only to access the Site, use the Services, electronically sign
your transactions, and review your completed transactions. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not disclose your password to any third party (other than
third parties authorized by you to use your account) and are solely responsible for any use of or action taken under your password on this Site. If your password is compromised, you must change your
password. 


        13.    Illegal Activity    



        a.     Compliance with Laws; Fraud. The Site and Services may be used only for
lawful purposes and in a lawful manner. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations. You may not register under a false name or use an invalid or unauthorized credit card.
You may not impersonate any participant or use another participant's password(s). Such fraudulent conduct is a violation of federal and state laws. Fraudulent conduct may be reported to law
enforcement, and Amazon will cooperate to ensure that violators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 



        b.     Investigation. Amazon has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor
any activity and content associated with this Site. Amazon may investigate any reported violation of its policies or complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate. Such action may include,
but is not limited to, issuing warnings, suspension or termination of service, denying access, and/or removal of any materials on the Site, including listings and bids. Amazon reserves the right and
has absolute discretion to remove, screen, or edit any content that violates these provisions or is otherwise objectionable. 



        c.     Disclosure of Information. Amazon also reserves the right to report any
activity that it suspects violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties. In order to cooperate with governmental requests, to protect
Amazon's systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of Amazon's business and systems, Amazon may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate,
including but not limited to user contact details, IP addressing and traffic information, usage history, and posted content. 




        14.    Privacy.    Read the Amazon.com Privacy Notice. The Privacy Notice may be changed
by us in the future. You should check the Privacy Notice frequently for changes. Unless otherwise authorized or consented, you agree not to use any information regarding other participants which is
accessible from the Site or disclosed to you by Amazon or its affiliates, except to enter into and complete transactions. You agree not to use any such information for purposes of solicitation,
advertising, unsolicited e-mail or spamming, harassment, invasion of privacy, or otherwise objectionable conduct. Amazon and its affiliates may communicate with you in connection with your
listings, sales, and the Services, electronically and in other media, and you consent to such communications regardless of any "Customer Communication Preferences" (or similar preferences or requests)
you may have indicated on the Amazon.com Site or by any other means. 






        15.    No Warranties.    THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. AMAZON MAKES NO OTHER
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: 



        a.     THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; 


        b.     THAT THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY,
SECURE, OR OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR; 


        c.     THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR PRODUCTS INCLUDED ON THE SITE WILL BE AS REPRESENTED BY SELLERS, AVAILABLE FOR
SALE AT THE TIME OF AUCTION OR FIXED PRICE SALE, LAWFUL TO SELL, OR THAT SELLERS OR BUYERS WILL PERFORM AS PROMISED; 


        d.     ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE; AND 


        e.     ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM, OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AMAZON. 


TO
THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AMAZON DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES. 




        16.    General Release.    BECAUSE AMAZON IS NOT INVOLVED IN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS OR OTHER
PARTICIPANT DEALINGS, IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ONE OR MORE PARTICIPANTS, EACH OF YOU RELEASE AMAZON (AND ITS AGENTS 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. 


        17.    Indemnity/Limitation of Liability.    



        a.     Indemnity and Defense. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Amazon
and its affiliates (and their respective employees, directors, agents and representatives) from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages, judgments, penalties, interest and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any Claim that arises out of or relates to: (i) any actual or alleged breach of your representations, warranties, or obligations set forth
in this Participation Agreement; or (ii) your own website or other sales channels, the products you sell, any content you provide, the advertisement, offer, sale or return of any products you
sell, any actual or alleged infringement of any intellectual property or proprietary rights by any products you sell or content you provide, or Seller Taxes or the collection, payment or failure to
collect or pay Seller Taxes. For purposes hereof: "Claim" means any claim, action, audit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding instituted by a person or entity; and "Seller Taxes" means any and
all sales, use, excise, import, export, value added and other taxes and duties assessed, incurred or required to be collected or paid for any reason in connection with any advertisement, offer or sale
of products by you on or through the Amazon.com Site, or otherwise in connection with any action, inaction or omission of you or any of affiliate of yours, or any of your or their respective
employees, agents, contractors or representatives. 


        b.     Limitation of Liability. AMAZON WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY
KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, THE SITE, THE SERVICES, THE
INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR THOSE RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE SERVICES. 











        18.    Applicable Law.    The Site and the Services are arranged, sponsored, or managed by Amazon in the state of
Nevada, USA. The laws of the state of Washington govern this Participation Agreement and all of its terms and conditions, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that
any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Reno, Nevada, except that, to the extent you have in any
manner violated or threatened to violate Amazon's intellectual property rights, Amazon may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of Nevada, and you
consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Participation
Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Participation Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. 


        19.    Disputes.    Because Amazon is not involved in the actual transaction between Sellers and Buyers and is not the
agent of either for any purpose, Amazon will not be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any transaction. Amazon urges Sellers and Buyers to cooperate
with each other to resolve such disputes. 


        20.    Your Grant.    By entering into this Participation Agreement and listing an item, you grant Amazon and its
affiliates a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable right to exercise all copyright, trademark rights, and rights of publicity over the content you submit to Amazon and its
affiliates in any existing or future media, known or unknown, now or at any later date. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content you submit to
Amazon and its affiliates, and that the use of such materials by Amazon and its affiliates will not infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party. 


        21.    Termination.    Amazon, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Participation Agreement, access to the Site
or the Services, or any current auctions or fixed price sales immediately without notice for any reason. 


        22.    General Provisions    



        a.     Entire Agreement. This Participation Agreement and the general terms and
conditions of the Site, including but not limited to the Privacy Notice and Conditions of Use, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede
and cancel all prior and contemporaneous agreements, claims, representations, and understandings of the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof. 


        b.     No Agency; Third-Party Beneficiary. Amazon is not the agent, fiduciary,
trustee, or other representative of you. Nothing expressed or mentioned in or implied from this Participation Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any person other than the parties
hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect to this Participation Agreement. This Participation Agreement and all of the representations, warranties, covenants,
conditions, and provisions hereof are intended to be and are for the sole and exclusive benefit of Amazon, you, and relying Buyers or Sellers. 


        c.     Severability. If any provision of this Participation Agreement shall be
deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provisions. 


        d.     No Waiver. We will not be considered to have waived any of our rights or
remedies described in this Participation Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by us. No delay or omission by us in exercising our rights or remedies will impair or be construed as a
waiver. Any single or partial exercise of a right or remedy will not preclude further exercise of any other right or remedy. Amazon's failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of this
Participation Agreement will not constitute a waiver of Amazon's right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of this Participation Agreement.

         1.4  Contract
fulfilment 








      1.4.1  On
the close of an auction or the completion of a Fixed Price Sale in zShops, Amazon will send to the seller and the buyer, an e-mail exchanging their
e-mail addresses. The seller and buyer must use all reasonable endeavours to contact each other within three days (and failing that, as soon as reasonably practicable) of Amazon's
notification to discuss the fulfilment of the sale of the relevant item sold. You acknowledge that your failure to complete the transaction as described by this agreement may be legally actionable by
the other party to such transaction. On completion of a Fixed Price Sale in Marketplace, Amazon will send to the seller and the buyer an order confirmation e-mail which will summarise the
order and notify the seller of the buyer's delivery address details. Sellers must dispatch items sold in Marketplace within two Business Days of the date of the order confirmation e-mail. 


      1.4.2  If,
by law, an agreement for the transfer of any property must be evidenced in writing or in some specific form, then the buyer and seller agree, on the close of an
auction or completion of a Fixed Price Sale to complete the transaction in writing and/or in the relevant form (as the case may be). 



      1.4.3  Unless
the buyer and seller expressly agree otherwise, the following terms and conditions will apply to the contract between the buyer and seller for the sale of the
relevant item: 



	(a)
	the
buyer will be required to make full payment to the seller as soon as reasonably practicable following the close of the auction or Fixed Price Sale by means of Amazon Payments, or
other payment methods approved by the seller in its terms and conditions;



	(b)
	as
soon as reasonably practicable following receipt by the seller of the buyer's full payment or notification by Amazon that payment has been received through Amazon Payments, the
seller must dispatch the relevant item to the buyer at the address nominated by the buyer for that purpose. Orders received by a seller through Marketplace must be dispatched within two days of the
date of Amazon's order confirmation e-mail.



	(c)
	All
postage, customs and excise duty, VAT and any other taxes associated with the auction or Fixed Price sale (if applicable) will be paid by the buyer and it is the seller's
responsibility to determine, collect and remit the applicable VAT, customs and excise duties and any other taxes associated with the auction or Fixed Price Sale. Unless otherwise agreed by us in
advance in writing, the price of any items sold in Marketplace must be displayed inclusive of any customs and excise duty, VAT and any other taxes associated with the Fixed Price Sale, which may be
applicable and sellers will not charge or seek to charge the buyer for any customs and excise duty, VAT or other taxes which are additional to the price displayed for the item on the Site;



	(d)
	buyers
are required to pay sellers in the currency in which the auction or Fixed Price Sale is listed;



	(e)
	the
sale will be subject to any warranties implied under applicable law; and



	(f)
	the
contract between the buyer and seller will be governed by the laws of England (and expressly excluding the United Nations Convention on the Sale of Goods) and the parties
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. 





         1.5  Amazon's
Role 



        Amazon
is not an auctioneer, neither is it an intermediary between the buyer and the seller. Amazon provides a venue for sellers and buyers to negotiate and complete transactions. Save
where Amazon acts as a seller, Amazon is not involved in the actual transaction between sellers and buyers and is not the agent of and has not authority for either, for any purpose. 









Accordingly,
the contract formed at the close of an auction or the completion of a Fixed Price Sale is solely between buyer and seller. The enforcement of any contractual obligations arising out of
the completion of a transaction is the responsibility of buyers and sellers party to that transaction. Amazon is not obliged to mediate between parties or enforce or execute fulfilment of any
contract. Because Amazon wants you to have a safer buying experience, Amazon provides the Amazon A-z Guarantee in Clause C.1 below, but otherwise buyers and sellers use the Site and
the Services at their own risk. 




         1.6  Termination




        Amazon
may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Participation Agreement, access to the Site or the Services, or any current auctions or Fixed Price Sales immediately without notice if
your participation agreement with any of the other Amazon sites is terminated or for any breach of any terms of this Participation Agreement. 




         1.7  Amazon's
Reservation of Rights 



        Amazon
retains the right to, if it considers it appropriate: immediately halt any auction or Fixed Price Sale or remove any bid; prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services;
or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of or remove any objectionable material, feedback, ratings, inaccurate listings, inappropriately categorised items, unlawful items or
items prohibited for listing on the Site under this Participation Agreement. Amazon reserves the right and has absolute discretion but not an obligation, to remove, screen or edit any content that
breaches these provisions or is otherwise objectionable. 




         1.8  Ratings
and Feedback 



      1.8.1  Participants
may leave feedback ("Feedback") on other participants relating to the other participants' performance in buying or selling items on the Site and using the
Services. Further, buyers and sellers only may rate each other's performance in relation to an auction or Fixed Price Sale using a 1-5 crown rating system ("Rating"). You acknowledge and
accept that your Feedback and Rating will be publicly available for viewing on the Site. Amazon is not responsible for checking or editing the Feedback or Ratings on the Site. YOU CONSENT TO THE
PUBLICATION OF, AND AUTHORISE AMAZON TO PUBLISH, FEEDBACK AND RATINGS EVEN THOUGH SUCH FEEDBACK OR RATINGS MAY BE CRITICAL OR DEFAMATORY OF YOU AND EVEN THOUGH AMAZON MAY BE AWARE OR OUGHT REASONABLY
BE AWARE THAT SUCH FEEDBACK OR RATINGS CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLICATION OF A STATEMENT THAT IS DEFAMATORY OF YOU. YOU RELEASE AMAZON FROM AND WAIVE ALL RIGHTS AGAINST AMAZON IN RESPECT OF ANY
LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PUBLICATION OF ANY DEFAMATORY COMMENTS ABOUT YOU IN SUCH FEEDBACK AND RATINGS. 



      1.8.2  When
submitting Feedback and Ratings, you must comply with the Feedback Guidelines. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amazon and its affiliates (and their
respective employees, directors and representatives) against any claim or action brought by a third party, arising out of or in connection with any Feedback or Ratings left by you on the Site. 




         1.9  Outages




      1.9.1  If,
as a result of any interruption to or unavailability of, the Services or the Site (whether for planned maintenance, repairs or otherwise) any auction or certain
Fixed Price Sales in Marketplace (namely, listings by Sellers that are not "Pro-merchant" Sellers) becomes unavailable for a period of time, then: (a) If such period of
unavailability is less than or equal to 60 minutes, the auction or Fixed Price Sale will not be extended, even if the auction or Fixed Price Sale closes during the period of unavailability;
(b) If such period of unavailability is greater than 60 minutes but less than or equal to 120 minutes, the duration of the auction 









or
Fixed Price Sale will be extended for a period equivalent to double the period of unavailability; (c) If such period of unavailability is greater than 120 minutes, the duration of the
auction or Fixed Price Sale will be extended for a period of 24 hours. 


      1.9.2  The
extension of an auction or Fixed Price Sale, as the case may be, is the participant's sole remedy for any interruption to or unavailability of, the Service or the
Site. 




       1.10  Grants
of Licence, Intellectual Property and Linking and Framing 



    1.10.1  Licenses
(a) Your Grant. By entering into this Participation Agreement and listing an item, you grant Amazon and its affiliates a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, right to exercise all copyright, database rights and rights of publicity over the material displayed in your listings or bids or in any
other catalogue or product information that you provide to us (excluding any of your logos, trademarks or other similar branding), in any existing or future media, known or unknown, now or at any
later date. (b) Amazon's Grant. Amazon grants you limited non-transferrable license to each participant to make personal use only of the Site and the Services in accordance with
this Participation Agreement. This license expressly excludes, without limitation: any resale or commercial use of the Site and the Services; modifying, distributing, copying, republishing or making
any derivative of the Site or the Services; the collection and use of participant e-mail addresses or other participant information, Ratings, Feedback or listings, or any data extraction
or data mining whatsoever. 


    1.10.2  Intellectual
Property Rights 



        Subject
to the licence granted to you under Clause 1.10.1(b), Amazon reserves all right, title and interest in its and its affiliates' intellectual property rights (including,
without limitation, any patents, trademarks, service marks, registered designs, applications for any of the foregoing, copyright, database rights, design rights, know-how, confidential
information, trade and business names and any other similar protected rights in any country) in the Site and the Services. Any goodwill accruing out of the use of Amazon's and its affiliates' trade
marks, trade and business names and service marks under this Participation Agreement will vest in Amazon and its affiliates, as the case may be. 




    1.10.3  Linking
to the Site and prohibition on Framing 



        Despite
anything else contained in this Agreement, you must ensure that each link (graphical, text or otherwise) to the Site posted or maintained on any location by you or on your
behalf, conveys users directly to the Site, without displaying or performing any other advertisement, promotion or content (whether audio, visual, audio-visual or otherwise). In addition, you must not
take any action, or assist, authorise or encourage any third party to take any action, that would cause the appearance or presentation of the Site as seen by users linking to the Site to be different
from that seen by users who access the Site by hand-entering the applicable URL into a generally commercially available browser which has not been customised for a particular person or
entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you must not, at any time, make use of any framing techniques or technologies, interstitial advertisements, pop-up windows or
consoles or other similar items or techniques in connection with any link to or on the Site. 




    1.10.4  Linking
off the Site 



        Sellers
must not include any links (graphical, text or otherwise) in any auction or Fixed Price Sale listing on the Site, save where such links convey users directly to another location
on the Site, without displaying or performing any other advertisements, promotions or content (whether audio, visual, audio-visual or otherwise). 


        Where
the seller's identity is represented by a domain name (for example, Tartanknickers.com), then that domain name (but not the entire Uniform Resource Locator or "URL")
may be included in the text of an auction or Fixed Price sale listing 














on
the Site provided that the representation of the domain name is for the purpose of identifying the seller rather than for advertising the seller's Web site, goods or services. For example, if a
seller called "Tartanknickers.com" was selling an item in an auction or Fixed Price Sale, it may include the domain name "Tartanknickers.com" in its listing but may not include the URL
"http://www.tartanknickers.com" or "www.tartanknickers.com". 





       1.11  Data
Protection and Privacy 



    1.11.1  Amazon
uses your personal data in the manner set out in the Privacy Notice and as further described in this Participation Agreement (eg: in clauses 1.4.1 and 1.8.1),

maintain customer accounts for you at other Amazon sites. By using the Services and the Site, you consent to this transfer. 



    1.11.2  Unless
otherwise authorised or consented, you agree not to use any information regarding other participants that is accessible from the Site, except to enter into and
complete transactions conducted via the Site. You agree not to use any such information for purposes of solicitation, advertising, unsolicited e-mail or spamming, harassment, invasion of
privacy or otherwise objectionable conduct.

SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. 




       1.13  Limitation
of Liability 








    1.13.1  TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED AT LAW, AMAZON WILL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT—INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, OR UNDER ANY STATUTORY IMPLIED TERM)
FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE OR

the negligence of that party, its employees, agents or authorised representatives.

otherwise agreed by us with a seller in advance in writing, the price stated by any seller for any goods or services offered on the Site is inclusive of any VAT, customs duty, excise tax or other tax
that the seller may be required to remit in connection with such sale. You also agree that Amazon is not obliged to determine whether VAT or other taxes apply to any sale of any goods or services by a
seller to a buyer on the Site and is not responsible for collecting, remitting or reporting any VAT or other taxes arising from such sale.

    1.15.2  No

        2.     Conditions
Relating Only to Auctions 



         2.1  Types
of Auctions 



      2.1.1  Standard
Auctions. Standard auctions involve the auction of a single item or a group of items to one high bidder. 


      2.1.2  Dutch
Auctions 



        Dutch
auctions involve the auction of multiple quantities of a single item. Bidders must submit both the quantity of items that they wish to buy and the amount they wish to bid for each
item. Individual bidders may re-bid but only in a greater quantity or per-item bid amount than their original bid. The final per-item price in a Dutch Auction is
determined by the lowest of the winning bids. The bidder who submits the highest of the winning bids is entitled to the quantity that he or she specified, but at the lower per-item price.
Quantities of the item remaining after the highest of the winning bids is filled are used to fill other winning bids in the
descending order of their bid price. See the example for further clarification of the operation of Dutch Auctions. 




      2.1.3  Private
Auctions 



        In
private auctions, bidders are not identified during the auction process. Only the seller and the buyer are notified of the result. As a consequence of this, in a private auction, only
the seller and buyer may provide Feedback and Ratings on each other. 





         2.2  Duration




        An
auction commences at the time the relevant listing is received by Amazon. The duration of the auction may, at the seller's discretion be either one day (24 hours), three days
(72 hours), five days (120 hours), seven days (168 hours) or 14 days (336 hours). However, if a bid is cast within 10 minutes of the scheduled close of an auction,
that auction will be 









automatically
extended for an additional 10 minutes from the time of receipt by Amazon of the latest bid. The procedure will be repeated for any further bid received within 10 minutes of the scheduled
closing time of the auction or any extended closing time. Notwithstanding, anything else in this clause, where a seller has set a "Take-it price", then the auction will close automatically
upon a bidder bidding the amount of the "Take-it price". 




         2.3  Minimum
bids and reserve prices: the seller may stipulate an initial minimum bid. Bidding on that auction will begin at the initial minimum bid and bids under that
amount will not be accepted. The seller may also place, prior to the commencement of a standard or private (but not dutch) auction, a reserve price, being the minimum price at which that item may be
treated as sold. Once set, a reserve price may not be removed or varied. Amazon will disclose the fact that an item is subject to a reserve price but will not reveal the amount of the reserve price.
Amazon will also indicate when bidding has met or exceeded the reserve price. Where an auction is subject to a reserve price, Amazon will not disclose the identity of bidders on that item until the
reserve price is met or exceeded. Unless a seller specifies a reserve price, all auction items are "without reserve", ie: the seller must sell the auctioned item to the highest bidder that meets or
exceeds the minimum price. 


         2.4  Cancelling
an Auction 



      2.4.1  Sellers
are obliged to accept any bid that meets or exceeds the initial minimum bid or reserve price (if any) and in such a case a contract for the sale of the item
from the seller to the buyer will form on the closing of the auction. The seller may only cancel an auction if: (a) The item has not received any bids; or (b) The item has not received
bids that meet or exceed the reserve price. In each case, the seller will still be liable to Amazon for the Listing Fees and other fees (but not Completion Fees) as set out in Clause B.2
payable in respect of listing that item. 


      2.4.2  Where
the seller cancels an auction that has received bids that meet or exceed the reserve price (if any), then the highest bid will stand and the seller will be
obliged to sell the item to the highest bidder for that amount. The seller will also be responsible for paying to Amazon all fees (including Completion Fees) as set out in Clause B.2, incurred
on the auction of that item. 




         2.5  Bidding




      2.5.1  Each
bid is a binding offer by the bidder to purchase the auction item at the bid amount. Each bid is binding on the bidder and is revocable only where: (a) the
seller varies the information about the item, materially altering the impression of the item for which the bid was placed; (b) the bidder has made an obvious typographical error in the bid
amount; (c) the e-mail address provided by the seller is invalid; (d) The seller's rating has changed negatively since the bidder's first bid on the item. 


      2.5.2  Bidders
who withdraw a bid on any item, for whatever reason, may not place any further bids on that item. If any bids are withdrawn, those bids are deemed null and
void. Where a bid that is withdrawn was the highest bid at the time of withdrawal, the next highest bid will become the highest bid. Any withdrawal of a bid on the grounds that the bid amount was an
obvious typographical error must be made immediately following the placing of the relevant bid. 


      2.5.3  Where
two bids of equal value are made on an item, then: (a) in the case of standard and private auctions, the bid that is received first in time by the Site
will prevail; and (b) in the case of dutch auctions, the bid for the greatest quantity of items will prevail. 




         2.6  Agreement
for Sale on the Close of an Auction. 



        At
the close of an auction (or cancellation by the seller, as the case may be) the seller agrees to sell the item to the highest bidder (provided that the highest bid has met or 









exceeded
the reserve price, if any) and the highest bidder agrees to purchase the item from the seller for the amount of their bid. 





        3.     Conditions
relating only to Fixed Price Sales 



         3.1  In
Marketplace and in zShops, items are offered by sellers for sale at a fixed price ("Fixed Price Sales"). The seller is obliged to sell the items at the listed price
to buyers who meet the seller's terms. Unless otherwise agreed by us with the seller in advance in writing, the price of any items sold in Marketplace (including the applicable delivery charge) are
displayed inclusive of any customs and excise duty, VAT and other taxes which may be applicable and sellers may not charge or seek to charge the buyer for any customs and excise duty, VAT or other
taxes which are additional to the price displayed for the item on the Site. 



         3.2  Participants
may purchase an item in a Fixed Price Sale by clicking on the "buy" button on the relevant item's page, provided that the item is still showing as having a
quantity of stock remaining. 


         3.3  The
seller's listing of an item for Fixed Price Sale constitutes an offer to each participant to purchase the item at that price and the act of clicking on the "buy"
button by a participant constitutes acceptance of that offer. Such acceptance will become effective on receipt by the Site of such act. A seller may retract an item listed for Fixed Price Sale at any
time but is bound by any offers accepted prior to the retraction. 


         3.4  For
items listed for sale in Marketplace, sellers may only charge buyers a fixed delivery charge and such a charge will be priced in accordance with the Marketplace
delivery charge schedule in effect from time to time. 



	B.
	Conditions
relating specifically to Sellers 



        1.     Seller's
Obligations with respect to Listing Items 



         1.1  Sellers
Warranties. By listing an item in a Fixed Price Sale or by auction: 



      1.1.1  you
represent a warrant to prospective buyers that: (a) you are the true owner of the item or are properly authorised to sell the item by the true owner and are
able to transfer good title to the item free from any third party claims, liens or encumbrances; and (b) the listing is accurate, current and complete and is not misleading or otherwise
deceptive; 


      1.1.2  Unless
we have agreed with you in advance and in writing to the contrary, you represent and warrant to Amazon that: (a) you are an individual that is resident
or a business that is established in the United Kingdom; (b) the items you are selling are physically located in the United Kingdom at the time of sale; (c) the place of supply of any
services you are selling are in the United Kingdom. In any event, you represent and warrant to Amazon that: (x) the item is not one that would fall within any of the prohibited items described
in clause A.1.3; and (y) the item is safe and, where required by applicable law, bears a "CE" mark. 


      1.1A  Subject
to any pricing guidelines set forth from time to time on the Site, sellers will determine the purchase price for each of their items offered for sale on the
Site; provided that all sellers who have a Pro-merchant subscription will ensure that the purchase price and each other term of offer and/or sale for consumer electronic items offered for
sale on the Site are at least as favourable to consumers as the terms of sale upon which the seller or any of its affiliates offers or sells such items through its or any of their respective online
sales channels other than the Site, after taking into consideration all discounts, sales, rebates and other promotional offers or business practices. 




         1.2  Compliance
with Applicable Law 



        It
is the seller's responsibility to ensure that the sale or distribution of the item is not in breach of applicable law (including, where items are sold internationally, the law of the 









destination
country). This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that (a) any items sold are safe, (b) any items sold bear a "CE" mark where required by applicable
law. Amazon makes no representations that items not appearing on the prohibited items list in clause A.1.3 may be sold or distributed or offered for sale under applicable law. 





        2.     Seller's
Fees 



         2.1  By
listing an item on the Site for Fixed Price Sale or auction, you agree to pay the following fees (using the amounts and payment terms set out in the Fee Schedule and
Payment Terms, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference) plus VAT as applicable: 



      2.1.1  Listing
Fees for the listing of the item (or subscription fees for the listing of a set number of items over a defined period of time, as set out in the Fee Schedule
and Payment Terms); 


      2.1.2  Optional
Features fees if any optional features (such as bold listings, Category Feature or Home Page Featured) are selected;

      3.1.2  not
bid on their own items nor have others bid on their own items on their behalf; and 


      3.1.3  not
use the Services or the Site in the contravention of any applicable law nor permit or assist others to do so. 





        4.     Amazon's
right of recovery. Amazon retains the right to seek reimbursement from the seller if it, in its sole discretion, decides to reimburse the buyer under the terms
of the Amazon A-z Guarantee described in clause C.1 or Amazon receives a charge back from the buyer's credit/debit card issuer for the amount of the buyer's purchase from the
seller. 


        5.     The
Amazon Payment Service. In order to sell items in Marketplace, auctions and/or zShops, you must register with Amazon to use the Amazon Payments Service (the "Payment
Service"). 



         5.1  The
Payment Service facilitates the purchase of items listed on the Site for Fixed Price Sale or auction. A buyer's authorised credit or debit card payment ("Payment
Transaction") is deposited to a registered seller's Account Summary, and funds are periodically transferred to the seller's designated bank account ("Seller's Account"). A buyer may authorise a
Payment Transaction with any major credit or debit card accepted by Amazon.co.uk. The Payment Service helps facilitate Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace transactions and Amazon is not the purchaser of
the seller's goods. The seller will resolve any dispute directly with the buyer or with the assistance of the Amazon.co.uk A-z Guarantee and not through the Payment Service. Sellers must
register online with Amazon.co.uk to use the Payment Service. You must provide us true and accurate information when registering and must maintain and update that information as applicable. Sellers
must not impersonate any person or use a name he or she is not legally authorised to use. Each seller authorises us to use any information provided to us in registering for the Payment Service to
verify his or her information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports about the seller from time to time while the seller is registered with the Payment Service (including credit
reports about the seller's spouse), and to obtain an initial credit authorisation from the seller's credit card issuer at time of registration. 


         5.2  The
Payment Service is available only to individuals and others who meet the terms of eligibility for the Amazon.co.uk online selling community, who have been issued
with any major credit/debit card accepted by Amazon.co.uk, and whose applications are acceptable to Amazon. Payment Transactions can only be deposited into bank accounts in the United Kingdom. Sellers
waive any rights with respect to the Service (including, without limitation, to protection under the Amazon A-z Guarantee) when dispatching to an address other than that provided by the
Service. 


         5.3  The
Payment Service is generally available seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, except for scheduled downtime due to system
maintenance. We can initiate Payment Transaction deposits into a Seller's Account only on a Business Day when the automated 










clearing
houses are open for business. For purposes of this Participation Agreement, a Business Day is a Monday through Friday, excluding bank holidays in the United Kingdom. Amazon will send a
receipt to the seller via e-mail for each completed transaction. In addition, the seller can access his or her Payment Service transaction information online on the Manage Your Amazon
Payments Account page of the Seller Account section of Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace when logging on with the seller's password. The seller may access the Seller's Transactions feature only with a
browser that is compatible with the Payment Service, including any security features that are a part of the Payment Service. 


         5.4  If
in an Auctions or zShops transaction the buyer has overpaid for a purchase, the seller may use the "Refund Buyer" link on the Transaction Details page to refund the
buyer through the Payment Service for the amount of the overpayment or to send a refund otherwise owed to the buyer related to the purchase. Similarly, in an Auctions or zShops transaction, if the
buyer has underpaid for a purchase, the seller can use the "Create invoice" link on the Transaction Details page to request that the buyer pay the amount still owed through the Payment Service. For
Marketplace sales, the seller may use the "Refund Buyer" link on the Transaction Details page to refund the buyer through the Payment Service for the entire purchase amount. Sellers may not create
invoices for Marketplace sales. 


         5.5  All
balances for a given 14-day period will be reflected in the Seller's Account Summary located on the Manage Your Amazon Payments Account page of the
Seller Account section of Auctions, zShops, and Marketplace when logging on with seller's password. We will initiate a transfer to the Seller's Account on a rolling 14-day cycle ("Payment
Date") based on the original date of the seller's registration with the Payment Service or on the next Business Day if the scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the seller
requests a change to the scheduled Payment Date, the 14-day cycle will be reset to the requested Payment Date. When the seller completes registration by providing bank account information,
the seller must wait 14 days to request a transfer to the seller's bank within the 14-day cycle. After 14 days, the seller may request transfers to the Seller's Account at
any time within the 14-day cycle by clicking the "Transfer funds to bank account now" link on the Seller's Account Summary page. Amazon will initiate a transfer to the Seller's Account on
each Payment Date for the total amount of Payment Transactions received from buyers' authorised credit or debit card transactions for the seller, less any refunds, or for funds otherwise received for
the seller since the last Payment Date. The amount of the fees for Payment Transactions will be posted to the Seller's Account Summary and will be deducted from the balance of credits in the Seller's
Account Summary to be remitted to the seller on the next Payment Date or, if such balance is not sufficient to pay the outstanding fees and subscriptions, you as a seller authorise Amazon to charge
the credit/debit card registered against the Payment Service. 


         5.6  Transfers
to the Seller's Account will generally be made within five Business Days of the date we initiate the transfer. On occasion, we may send the seller a paper
cheque instead of an electronic
transfer to the seller's bank account. We will do so, for instance, if the seller's bank will not accept an electronic transfer to the seller's account. 


         5.7  Sellers
must provide a full refund directly to any buyer who remits payment, either directly or through the Payments Service, if the item cannot be shipped at the close
of the sale. Sellers must provide the refund promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days following the close of the sale. Sellers can use the Refund link on the Payment Transaction
receipt to send a refund to buyers through the Payment Service. 


         5.8  As
a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction limits on some or all buyers and sellers relating to the value of any transaction or
disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of time. We will not be liable to any seller:
(i) if we do not proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us for a 










security
reason, or (ii) if we permit a buyer to withdraw from a transaction because the Payment Service is unavailable following the commencement of a transaction. 


         5.9  We
reserve the right to delay initiating the Payment Transaction transfer to a seller's bank account (or sending paper cheques) pending an investigation if we, in our
sole discretion, believe the buyer or the seller may have breached this Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Participation Agreement, if we determine, in our sole
discretion, that the seller has breached this Participation Agreement, we may refuse to transfer any Payment Transactions to the seller and may instead maintain such amount in a trust account or may
return such amount to the buyer. We will not be liable to the seller if we act in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 


       5.10  All
notices will be sent by e-mail or will be posted on the Site. We will send notices to the seller at the e-mail address maintained in
Amazon's records for the seller. The seller will monitor his or her e-mail messages frequently to ensure awareness of any notices sent by us. The seller will send notices to us at our
current e-mail address published on our Site. E-mail notices are deemed written notices for all purposes for which written notices may be required. E-mail notices
are deemed received the Business Day after transmission if properly addressed to the intended recipient. If not sent by e-mail, notice may be provided in writing and mailed with Royal
Mail, postage paid, First Class mail properly addressed or personally delivered by express courier such as DHL. First Class mail is properly addressed if sent by us to the address maintained in our
records for the seller. First Class mail is properly addressed if sent by the seller to the current address published by us on our Site. First Class mail is deemed received three Business Days after
it is deposited with Royal Mail. A notice sent by express courier is deemed received when personally delivered to the intended recipient or to a person with apparent authority to receive such delivery
on behalf of the intended recipient. 


       5.11  The
fees for using the Payment Service in Marketplace listings are included in the Marketplace listing fees (which means there are no additional fees for use of the
Payment Service). Fees for using the Payment Service in Auctions or zShops listings are posted on our Fee Schedule at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/browse/-/help/3149301 and are
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. We may, in our sole discretion, waive, reduce, or reverse charges or fees for a specific transaction. 



       5.12  We
may refuse service to anyone for any reason. We may earn interest or other compensation from the balances in our bank accounts that result from the timing difference
between our being paid by a buyer and our payment of the Payment Transaction to the seller from our bank account. We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from the seller if we, in our sole
discretion, decide to reimburse a buyer under the terms of the Amazon.co.uk A-z Guarantee, provide a refund to the buyer if the seller cannot promptly deliver the goods, discover erroneous
or duplicate transactions, or receive a chargeback from the buyer's credit card issuer for the amount of the buyer's purchase from the seller. We may obtain such reimbursement by deducting from future
payments owed to the seller, reversing any transfer to the seller's bank account, charging the seller's credit card, or seeking such reimbursement from the seller by any other lawful means. 


       5.13  The
seller may terminate its participation in the Payment Service at any time by giving notice to us, and we may terminate the seller's participation in the Payment
Service at any at any time by giving notice to the seller. Upon termination, the seller must pay us whatever fees were incurred prior to the effective date of the termination. Also upon termination,
any pending transactions will be cancelled. 



	C.
	Conditions
relating specifically to Buyers 



        1.     The
Amazon A-z Guarantee 



         1.1  AMAZON
WANTS YOU TO HAVE A SAFE BUYING EXPERIENCE. IF THE BUYER OF AN ITEM HAS PROVIDED PAYMENT TO THE SELLER, BUT THE SELLER 







DID
NOT DELIVER THE ITEM, OR, IF THE BUYER RECEIVED THE ITEM, BUT IT WAS MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM, AMAZON WILL PAY THE BUYER THE FINAL CLOSING PRICE OF THE ITEM
UP TO £150 OR UP TO £2,000 IF THE BUYER USED THE AMAZON PAYMENTS SERVICE TO PAY THE SELLER, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLY TO THE AMAZON
A-Z GUARANTEE: (1) THE BUYER MUST WAIT 30 DAYS, BUT NOT LONGER THAN 60 DAYS, AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION OR THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN OFFER IN A FIXED PRICE SALE TO REQUEST PAYMENT
FROM AMAZON UNDER THE AMAZON A-Z GUARANTEE AND SUBMIT THE GUARANTEE SUBMISSION FORM; (2) THE BUYER MUST PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION ON THE GUARANTEE SUBMISSION FORM TRUTHFULLY
AND ACCURATELY TO RECEIVE PAYMENT; (3) THE BUYER MUST BE A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, GERMANY OR THE UNITED STATES AND PROVIDE A STREET ADDRESS IN ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES FOR PAYMENT;
(4) THE FEEDBACK RATING OF THE SELLER MUST HAVE BEEN 3.0 OR GREATER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLETION OF THE FIXED PRICE SALE OR AT THE TIME OF THE BUYER'S WINNING BID (AS THE CASE MAY BE), UNLESS
THE SELLER HAD NO FEEDBACK (IE:, A ZERO SCORE); (5) THE BUYER IS LIMITED TO A LIFETIME MAXIMUM OF THREE CLAIMS ACROSS ALL AMAZON SITES; AND (6) IF THE BUYER PAID FOR THE ITEM BY CREDIT
CARD, THE BUYER MUST NOT REQUEST A CHARGEBACK FOR THE AUCTION OR FIXED PRICE PURCHASE FROM THE ISSUING BANK. 


         1.2  You
warrant and represent to Amazon that the information you provide on the Guarantee Submission Form will be true and correct. 




        2.     The
Amazon Payments service. 



         2.1  Buyers
may pay sellers registered with the Payment Service by purchasing an Amazon Payments electronic credit/debit ("Electronic Money") for the full amount owed. Buyers
may purchase Electronic Money with a VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Switch or Solo card. Auction buyers will be notified of this option in the winning e-mail notification, and
Marketplace and zShops buyers may choose this option on the item's listing. After the credit or debit card charge is approved, Amazon will direct the seller to deliver the relevant item sold to the
buyer. The buyer is bound by any Electronic Money purchase request he or she authorises. The Payments Service is the purchase of Electronic Money and not the purchase of the seller's goods. The buyer
will resolve any dispute directly with the seller, or under the Amazon A-z Guarantee described in Clause C.1.1, and not through attempting to revoke an Electronic Money purchase
transaction. 


         2.2  Amazon
Payments sets limits on the amount and number of transactions completed through the Service during a set time period ("Velocity Limits") for both buyers and
sellers. For security reasons, Amazon does not disclose Velocity Limits. Velocity Limits are different from the credit limits set by your credit/debit card issuer. When a Velocity Limit is reached,
affected parties will be notified that additional transactions that are completed during the applicable time period must be settled directly between the buyer and seller and not through Amazon
Payments. 




        3.     Buyer's
fees. Although Amazon does not currently charge bidders or buyers any fees to use the Services and the Site, it reserves its right to do so in the future. 


        4.     Prohibited
acts. Buyers and bidders must not: 




      4.1.1  Whether
by themselves or in conjunction with other participants, manipulate transactions in ways that are unfair to other users. This includes, but is not limited to,
placing "shill" bids on auction items in concert with other auction participants and using a "bid-bot"; and 


      4.1.2  not
use the Services or the Site in the contravention of any applicable law nor permit or assist others to do so. 














        5.     Inspection
of items. buyers must inspect any items purchased from a seller immediately upon receipt to ensure that it accords with any description given by the seller in
the item's listing and to ensure that the product is safe. 







Amazon.ca Marketplace Participation Agreement

items must accept the terms and conditions of this Participation Agreement without change. BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, AND ALL
POLICIES AND GUIDELINES OF THE SITE ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. 


        Amazon
Services International, Inc. ("Amazon.ca") reserves the right to change any of the terms and conditions contained in this Participation Agreement or any policies or
guidelines governing the Site or Services, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes will be effective upon posting of the revisions on the Site. All notice of changes to this Participation
Agreement will be posted on the Site for thirty (30) days. You are responsible for reviewing the notice and any applicable changes. Changes to referenced policies and guidelines may be posted
on the Site without notice to you. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THIS SITE AND THE SERVICES FOLLOWING AMAZON.CA'S POSTING OF ANY CHANGES WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES TO THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES OR THIS SITE. 


        1.    Eligibility.    Use of the Site and Services is limited to
parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law. For example, minors (less than 18 years of age) are not allowed to use the Services without obtaining an approval
from persons in parental authority or guardian. To register, you must provide your real name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and valid credit card information. 



        By
entering into this agreement, you further represent and warrant to Amazon.ca that: (a) you are an individual that is resident in Canada or the United States or a corporation or
other entity that is established in Canada or the United States, or has an office in Canada or the United States; (b) you have a bank account located in Canada; and (c) the items you are
selling are physically located in Canada or the United States at the time of sale. 


        2.    Seller Status, Listing Fees and Payment Terms.    



        (a)   Sellers
may select "Individual" or "Pro Merchant" status for their Marketplace account. The terms applicable to each status are described below with respect to
"Individual Sellers" and "Pro Merchant Sellers." 


        (b)   Please
review the Fee Schedule and Payment Terms contained in the Help section for Marketplace listing fees. All listing fees are in
Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise and are incorporated herein by reference. The Fee Schedule and Payment Terms may be different for Pro Merchant Sellers and Individual Sellers, and may vary in
the future. The Fee Schedule and Payment Terms in effect on the date of listing the item shall govern the transaction. You should check the fees and terms each time you participate. In the event that
any Seller fees are subject to any tax, Amazon.ca reserves the right to charge such applicable tax. All fees, including but not limited to subscription plan fees, are payable upon demand from
Amazon.ca on an American Express, Visa or Mastercard credit card. By listing an item for sale on the Site, you authorize Amazon.ca to charge your credit card for amounts due. 




        3.    Applicable Policies and Guidelines.    You agree to abide by the

of, this Participation Agreement. The procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section explain the processes and set out acceptable conduct and prohibited
practices. We may change these procedures and guidelines in the future, and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site without notice to you. You should refer regularly to the
Help section to understand the current procedures and guidelines for participating and to be sure that the items you offer for sale can be on the Site. 







        4.    Amazon.ca's Role.    Amazon.ca provides a venue for third-party
sellers ("Sellers") and buyers ("Buyers") to negotiate and complete transactions. Amazon.ca is not involved in the actual transaction between Sellers and Buyers and is not the agent of and has no
authority for either for any purpose. Accordingly, the contract formed at the completion of the transaction is solely between Buyer and Seller. As a Seller, you may list on the Site any item that
Amazon.ca sells the item new unless it is a prohibited item as defined in the procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section. Without limitation, you may not list
any item or link or post any related material that (a) infringes any third party intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark, patent and trade secrets) or other proprietary
rights (including rights of publicity or privacy); (b) constitutes libel or slander or is otherwise defamatory; or (c)is counterfeited, illegal, stolen, or fraudulent. It is up to the Seller to
accurately describe the item for sale. As a Seller, you use the Site and the Services at your own risk. 


        5.    The Amazon Payment Service.    IN ORDER TO SELL ITEMS IN
MARKETPLACE, YOU MUST REGISTER WITH AMAZON.CA AND USE THE AMAZON PAYMENT SERVICE (the "Payment Service"). 



        a.     The
Payment Service facilitates the purchase of Seller items listed on the Site. A Buyer's authorized credit card payment ("Payment Transaction") is credited to a
registered Seller's Account Summary, and funds are periodically transferred to the Seller's designated bank account ("Seller's Account"). The Buyer may authorize a Payment Transaction with any major
credit card accepted by Amazon.ca. The Payment Service helps facilitate Marketplace transactions and is not the purchaser of the Seller's goods. Seller will resolve any dispute directly with Buyer or
with the assistance of the Amazon.ca
A-to-z Guarantee and not through the Payment Service. Seller must register online with Amazon.ca to use the Payment Service. You must provide us true and accurate information
when registering and must maintain and update that information as applicable. Seller will not impersonate any person or use a name he or she is not legally authorized to use. Seller authorizes us to
verify his or her information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports about Seller from time to time while Seller is registered with the Payment Service (including credit reports
about Seller's spouse if Seller does not make a living on his/her own), and to obtain an initial credit authorization from Seller's credit card issuer at time of registration. 


        b.     The
Payment Service is available only to individuals and others who meet the terms of eligibility for the Amazon.ca Marketplace participation agreement, who have been
issued a credit card in Canada, and whose applications are acceptable to Amazon.ca. Payment Transactions can be credited only to bank accounts in Canada. Sellers waive any rights with respect to the
Service when shipping to an address other than that provided by the Service. 


        c.     The
Payment Service is generally available seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, except for scheduled downtime due to system
maintenance. We can initiate Payment Transaction credits to Seller's Account only on a Business Day when the automated clearinghouses are open for business. For purposes of this Participation
Agreement, a Business Day is a Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. and Canadian banking holidays. We will send a receipt to Seller via e-mail for each completed transaction. In addition,
Seller can access his or her Payment Service transaction information online on the Manage Your Amazon Payments Account page of the Seller Account section of Marketplace when logging on with Seller's
password. Seller may access the Seller's Transactions feature only with a browser that is compatible with the Payment Service, including any security features that are a part of the Payment Service. 


        d.     Seller
may use the "Refund Buyer" link on the Transaction Details page to refund the Buyer through the Payment Service for the entire purchase amount. Sellers may not
create invoices for Marketplace sales. 


        e.     All
balances for a given 14-day period will be reflected in the Seller's Account Summary located on the Manage Your Amazon Payments Account page of the Seller
Account section of Marketplace when logging on with Seller's password. We will initiate a credit to Seller's Account on a rolling 14-day cycle ("Payment Date") based on the original date
of Seller's registration with the Payment Service or on the next Business Day if the scheduled Payment Date falls on a 










non-Business
Day. If Seller requests a change to the scheduled Payment Date, the 14-day cycle will be reset to the requested Payment Date. When Seller completes registration by
providing bank account information, Seller must wait 14 days to request a transfer to Seller's bank within the 14-day cycle. After 14 days, Seller may request transfers to
Seller's Account at any time within the 14-day cycle by clicking the "Transfer funds to bank account now" link on the Seller's Account Summary page. We will initiate a transfer to Seller's
Account on each Payment Date for the total amount of Payment Transactions received from Buyer's authorized credit card transactions for Seller, less any refunds, or for funds otherwise received for
Seller since the last Payment Date. The amount of the fees for Payment Transactions will be posted to Seller's Account Summary and will be deducted from the balance of credits in the Seller's Account
Summary to be remitted to Seller on the next Payment Date. 


        f.      If
a transfer to Seller cannot be conducted due to causes attributable to Seller, any bank charges charged from the bank which Amazon.ca requests to remit the money will
also be posted on Seller's Account Summary and will be deducted from the balance of credits in Seller's Account Summary to be remitted to Seller on the next Payment Date. Causes attributable to Seller
will include, but not limited to, the incorrect or insufficient bank account information that Seller designated to which remittance should have been made or the bank account having been closed by
Seller. 


        g.     Transfers
to the Seller's Account will generally be credited within five Business Days of the date we initiate the transfer. 


        h.     Seller
must provide a full refund directly to any Buyer who remits payment, either directly or through Amazon.ca, if the item cannot be shipped at the close of the sale.
Seller must provide the refund promptly, but in no case later than thirty (30) days following the close of the sale. Seller can use the Refund link on the Payment Transaction receipt to send a
refund to Buyer through the Payment Service. 


        i.      As
a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction limits on some or all Buyers and Sellers relating to the value of any transaction or
disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of time. We will not be liable to Seller:
(i) if we do not proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us for a security reason, or (ii) if we permit a Buyer to withdraw from a
transaction because the Payment Service is unavailable following the commencement of a transaction. 


        j.      We
reserve the right to delay initiating the transfer of Payment Transaction credits to a Seller's bank account (or sending paper checks) pending an investigation if we,
in our sole discretion, believe Buyer or Seller may have violated the Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Participation Agreement, if we determine, in our sole
discretion, that Seller has violated this Participation Agreement, we may refuse to deliver a Payment Transaction credit to Seller and may instead maintain the amount of such credit in a trust account
or may return the amount of the credit to Buyer. We will not be liable to Seller if we act in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 


        k.     All
notices will be sent by e-mail or will be posted on the Site. We will send notices to Seller at the e-mail address maintained in Amazon.ca's
records for Seller. Seller will monitor his or her e-mail messages frequently to ensure awareness of any notices sent by us. Seller will send notices to us at our current
e-mail address published on our Web site. E-mail notices are deemed written notices for all purposes for which written notices may be required. E-mail notices are
deemed received the Business Day after transmission if properly addressed to the intended recipient. If not sent by e-mail, notice may be provided in writing and sent by ordinary mail or
registered mail or other methods properly addressed. Mail is properly addressed if sent by us to the address maintained in our records for Seller. Mail is properly addressed if sent by Seller to the
current address published by us on our Web site. Mail is deemed received five (5) Business Days after it is deposited in a postbox. 










        l.      There
is no fee for registering for the Payment Service. The fees for using the Payment Service in Marketplace listings are included in the Marketplace listing fees
(which means there are no additional fees for use of the Payment Service). We may, in our sole discretion, waive, reduce, or reverse charges or fees for a specific transaction. 


        m.    We
may refuse service to anyone for any reason. We may earn interest or other compensation from the balances in our bank accounts that result from the timing difference
between our being paid by Buyer and our bank account being debited to pay Payment Transaction credits to Seller. We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from Seller if we, in our sole discretion,
decide to reimburse Buyer under the terms of the Amazon.ca A-to-z Guarantee, provide a refund to Buyer if Seller cannot promptly deliver the goods, discover erroneous or
duplicate transactions, or receive a chargeback from Buyer's credit card issuer for the amount of Buyer's purchase from Seller. We may obtain such reimbursement by deducting from future payments owed
to Seller, reversing any credits to Seller's bank account, charging Seller's credit card, or seeking such reimbursement from Seller by any other lawful means. 


        n.     Seller
may terminate its participation in the Payment Service at any time by giving notice to us, and we may terminate Seller's participation in the Payment Service at
any at any time by giving notice to
Seller. Upon termination, Seller must pay us whatever fees were incurred prior to the effective date of the termination. Also upon termination, any pending transactions will be canceled. 




        6.    Amazon.ca Reservation of Rights.    Amazon.ca retains the right
to immediately halt any sale, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services, or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of objectionable material, any inaccurate listing,
any inappropriately categorized items, any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section. Amazon.ca retains the right to seek
reimbursement from Seller if it, in its sole discretion, decides to reimburse Buyer under the terms of the Amazon.ca A-to-z Guarantee or we receive a chargeback from Buyer's
credit card issuer for the amount of Buyer's purchase from Seller. 



        7.    Amazon.ca Participation.    Employees of Amazon.ca and its
affiliates are permitted to participate in their personal capacity (i.e., not as Amazon.ca employees, representatives, or agents) in the transactions conducted through this Site (unless they have
confidential information about a particular item). Amazon.ca employees, when participating in any transaction in their personal capacity, are subject to this Participation Agreement and the same
procedures and guidelines contained in the Help section as any Buyer or Seller on this Site. 



        8.    Your Transactions.    In Marketplace transactions, a Seller is
allowed to sell goods only where a Seller lists goods at a fixed price ("fixed price sales"), the Seller is obligated to sell the goods at the listed price to Buyers who meet the Seller's terms. By
listing an item in a fixed price sale, you represent and warrant to prospective Buyers that you have the right and ability to sell, and that the listing is accurate, current, and complete and is not
misleading or otherwise deceptive. 



        The
price of items sold in Marketplace must be displayed inclusive of any Goods and Services Tax the Seller may be required to remit to the Canadian government. Sellers are required to
accurately disclose the location from which the goods will be shipped to Buyers. 


        9.    Your Obligation.    By entering into this Participation
Agreement and posting a listing for fixed price sale, you agree to complete the transaction as described by this Participation Agreement. You acknowledge that by not fulfilling these obligations, your
action or inaction may be legally actionable. 



        10.    Taxes.    You agree the Seller and the Buyer are responsible
for remitting to the appropriate tax authorities any applicable taxes with respect to the transaction. Such taxes may include, but are not limited to, Goods and Services Tax, sales tax, and use tax.
You also agree that Amazon.ca is not obligated to determine whether taxes apply and is not responsible to collect, report, or remit any taxes arising from any transaction. If the item is shipped from
outside Canada, the recipient of the item may be required to pay, upon delivery, customs duty, Goods and Services Tax, Canadian Sales Tax, and/or a 








handling
fee;. Such duties, taxes and fees, if any, are in addition to the amount charged in the Payment Transaction. 


        11.    Refund Obligation.    Sellers must provide a full refund
directly to any Buyer who remits payment, whether the Buyer paid directly or through Amazon.ca, if the item cannot be shipped at the close of the sale. Seller must provide the refund promptly, but in
no case later than thirty (30) days following the close of the sale. Any Buyer who believes he/she may be entitled to a refund on this basis can contact the Seller directly. 


        12.    Password Security.    Your password may be used only to access
the Site, use the Services, electronically sign your transactions, and review your completed transactions. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your password. You may not
disclose your password to any third party (other than third parties authorized by you to use your account) and are solely responsible for any use of or action taken under your password on this Site.
If your password is compromised, you must change your password. 


        13.    Illegal Activity    



        a.     Compliance with Laws; Fraud. The Site and Services may be used only for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner. You agree
to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations. You may not register under a false name or use an invalid or unauthorized credit card. You may not impersonate any participant or use
another participant's password(s). Such fraudulent conduct is a violation of civil or criminal laws. Fraudulent conduct may be reported to law enforcement, and Amazon.ca will cooperate to ensure that
violators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 


        b.     Investigation. Amazon.ca has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with this
Site. Amazon.ca may investigate any reported violation of its policies or complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate. Such action may include, but is not limited to, issuing warnings,
suspension or termination of service, denying access, and/or removal of any materials on the Site, including listings and bids. Amazon.ca reserves the right and has absolute discretion to remove,
screen, or edit any content that violates these provisions or is otherwise objectionable. 


        c.     Disclosure of Information. Amazon.ca also reserves the right to report any activity that it suspects violates any law or
regulation to police authorities or other parties. In order to cooperate with governmental requests, to protect Amazon.ca's systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of
Amazon.ca's business and systems, Amazon.ca may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to user contact details, IP addressing and traffic
information, usage history, and posted content. 




        14.    Privacy.    Read our Privacy
Notice. The Privacy Notice may be changed by us in the future. You should check the Privacy Notice frequently for changes. Unless otherwise authorized or consented, you agree
not to use any information regarding other participants which is accessible from the Site or disclosed to you by Amazon.ca, except to enter into and complete transactions. You agree not to use any
such information for purposes of solicitation, advertising, unsolicited e-mail or spamming, harassment, invasion of privacy, or otherwise objectionable conduct. 


        15.    No Warranties.    THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN
"AS IS" BASIS. AMAZON.CA MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: 



        a.     THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; 



        b.     THAT
THE SITE OR THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR; 










        c.     THE
INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR PRODUCTS INCLUDED ON THE SITE WILL BE AS REPRESENTED BY SELLERS, AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THE TIME OF FIXED PRICE SALE, LAWFUL TO
SELL, OR THAT SELLERS OR BUYERS WILL PERFORM AS PROMISED; 


        d.     ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE; AND 


        e.     ANY
OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM, OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AMAZON.CA. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW,
AMAZON.CA DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES. 




        16.    General Release.    BECAUSE AMAZON.CA IS NOT INVOLVED IN
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS OR OTHER PARTICIPANT DEALINGS, IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ONE OR MORE PARTICIPANTS, EACH OF YOU RELEASE AMAZON.CA (AND ITS AGENTS 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. 


        17.    Limitation of Liability.    AMAZON.CA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, THE SITE, THE
SERVICES, THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR THOSE RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE SERVICES. 


        18.    Applicable Law.    The Site and the Services are arranged,
sponsored, or managed by Amazon.ca in the state of Washington, U.S.A. The laws of the state of Washington govern this Participation Agreement and all of its terms and conditions, without giving effect
to any principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in
Seattle, Washington, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Amazon.ca's intellectual property rights, Amazon.ca may seek injunctive or other appropriate
relief in any state or federal court in the state of Washington, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules
then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or
otherwise. 


        19.    Disputes.    Because Amazon.ca is not involved in the actual
transaction between Sellers and Buyers and is not the agent of either for any purpose, Amazon.ca will not be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any
transaction. Amazon.ca urges Sellers and Buyers to cooperate with each other to resolve such disputes. 


        20.    Your Grant.    By entering into this Participation Agreement
and listing an item, you grant Amazon.ca and its affiliates a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable right to exercise all copyright, trademark rights, and rights of publicity
over the material displayed in your listings (including storefronts) in any existing or future media, known or unknown, now or at any later date. You
represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the materials displayed in your listings (including storefronts), and that the use of such materials by Amazon.ca and its
affiliates will not infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party. 


        21.    Termination.    Amazon.ca, in its sole discretion, may
terminate this Participation Agreement, access to the Site or the Services, or any sales immediately without notice for any reason. Without 








limiting
the foregoing, if your participation agreement with Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, or any other Amazon.com international site that may exist now or in the future is terminated,
Amazon.ca may terminate this Participation Agreement and your access to the Site and Services. Similarly, your participation agreement with Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.fr
and/or any other Amazon.com international site that may exist now or in the future and your access to those sites and services may be terminated upon termination of this Participation Agreement. 


        22.    Nondisclosure and Publicity.    Unless you first obtain
Amazon.ca's prior written consent, you will not issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements or communications disclosing or concerning: (a) this Agreement, its terms, or
the relationship of the parties; (b) any information relating to Amazon.ca or its affiliates' technology, customers, business plans, marketing activities, finances and/or other business
affairs; (c) any matters or information relating to Amazon.ca Site users, traffic or transactions on the Amazon.ca Site and/or other sellers on the Amazon.ca Site; and/or (d) any
nonpublic information disclosed by Amazon.ca, its affiliates or their respective agents, to Seller, its affiliates or their respective agents, whether or not designated as confidential, contained in
tangible materials or disclosed orally or by your observation. You: (i) may use such information solely in pursuance of the parties' business relationship; (ii) will restrict the
possession, knowledge and use of such information to your employees, contractors, agents, and legal and financial advisors who (x) have a need to know such information in connection with the
parties' business relationship, (y) are obligated to limit their use of and protect such information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (z) have been advised of such

measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination, misappropriation or unauthorized use of the such information, including, at a minimum, those measures it takes to protect its own confidential information
of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care. In addition, you agree to comply and continue to comply with all of the terms, conditions and requirements set forth in any
confidentiality, nondisclosure or similar agreement entered into previously, contemporaneously or in the future by the parties and/or their respective Affiliates. 



        23.    General Provisions    



        a.     Entire Agreement. This Participation Agreement and the general terms and conditions of the Site, including but not limited
to the Privacy Notice and Conditions of Use, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and cancel all prior and
contemporaneous agreements, claims, representations, and understandings of the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof. 



        b.     No Agency; Third-Party Beneficiary. Amazon.ca is not the agent, fiduciary, trustee, or other representative of you.
Nothing expressed or mentioned in or implied from this Participation Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right,
remedy, or claim under or in respect to this Participation Agreement. This Participation Agreement and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, and provisions hereof are intended
to be and are for the sole and exclusive benefit of Amazon.ca, you, and relying Buyers or Sellers. 



        c.     Severability. If any provision of this Participation Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason
unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 


        d.     No Waiver. We will not be considered to have waived any of our rights or remedies described in this Participation
Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by us. No delay or omission by us in exercising our rights or remedies will impair or be construed as a waiver. Any single or partial exercise of a
right or remedy will not preclude further exercise of any other right or remedy. Amazon.ca's failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of 










this
Participation Agreement will not constitute a waiver of Amazon.ca's right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of this Participation Agreement. 


        e.     Assignment. You may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, whether
voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Amazon.ca's prior written consent. Amazon.ca may assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder
freely and without necessity of obtaining your consent.
