3. About Slashmarket

The Services provide a platform for users to interact with each other and to post, search, or browse goods and services for sale ("Advertised Items"). Advertised Items may be offered by users of the Services or third-party sellers (collectively, "Sellers"). Some listings may reflect a Seller's intent to trade, exchange, or give away the Advertised Items. For the purposes of these Terms, "sell" or "sale" shall refer to any type of transaction or transfer of ownership involving the Advertised Items, including sales, trades, and giveaways, whether for payment or not.

Slashmarket does not facilitate or participate in any transactions between buyers and Sellers, nor do we pre-screen users, Sellers, or the content they provide. As a result, Slashmarket has no control over, and you agree that Slashmarket is not responsible or liable for:

• The truthfulness or accuracy of listings advertised on the Services.
• The quality, authenticity, safety, legality, availability, or delivery of Advertised Items.
• The ability of Sellers to sell Advertised Items or the ability of buyers to complete purchases.
• The truthfulness or accuracy of personal information provided by users.
• Any content posted by users.

Slashmarket is not a party to any interactions, transactions, or agreements you may conduct with other users or Sellers. We strongly encourage you to exercise caution and common sense when using the Services. While Slashmarket strives to maintain a safe and reliable platform, you acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services and your interactions with other users and third parties are entirely at your own risk.
