Terms & Conditions

 

We like to keep our terms and conditions simple.  We know that it can cause some anguish signing up to new sites.   Rest-assured that our free services are totally free and you will never be charged a penny if you remain a 'Bronze' member, which is what you become when you first sign up.  You can remain a 'Bronze' member or upgrade membership if you choose to.  Also, advancing to a paid membership level doesn't tie you in for any set length of time.  You're free to cancel any time you wish without recourse and no further payments ever become due.  We would like to make all our services free but developing this software was expensive and hosting your collection costs money, as of course it would if you were to create and host your own site, so certain levels of membership require a monthly payment, which we think offers good value for money; especially if you're a seller, as we don't charge any listing or final value fees.  So, here are our T&C's:

By accessing and using our website you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. We may amend or revise these terms at any time by updating the text of this page.  You will be informed of such changes by email to the email address you provide to us upon registering.  Where such notification is overlooked by you or arrives at your spam/junk folder, your-collection.com shall not be held responsible.  You will be deemed to have been notified once the message has left our servers.

The accuracy and authenticity of such images and descriptions is not guaranteed or warranted by your-collection.com or its owners.  Any transactions carried out between users of this site are at the risk of the users themselves and all registered users shall indemnify your-collection.com and its owners against any legal recourse due to any inaccuracies, fraudulent or otherwise illegal activities of its registered users.  Your-collection.com provides a service whereby a buyer and seller may contact each other and may buy and sell.  Your-collection.com and its owners have no responsibility regarding such transactions.  We recommend that purchases made by users are paid for using PayPal only and not via their 'friends and family' method of payment.  We are not affiliated with PayPal and receive no payments from PayPal.  We make no warranty as to any protection or recompense that PayPal may provide a seller and buyer and such sellers and buyers shall accept that they have no recourse against your-collection.com and its owners due to any decisions and actions made by PayPal because of any buyer and seller dispute.

Our site may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. We will not be liable for any such inaccuracies. We do not make any express or implied warranties or representations in relation to the web site (including, without limitation, warranties, non-infringement or any implied warranties), and the same are hereby excluded. You acknowledge and agree that it is technically almost impossible to provide the web site free of faults, bugs and errors and that access to the web site is provided on an 'as-is' and 'as-available' basis. We do not accept any liability for faults, external tampering or viruses, which may lead to temporary or permanent unavailability of the website, whether this is in our reasonable control or not.

 

OUR SITE MAY CHange

We may update our web site, and so may change the content at any time, including methods of operation, user forms etc. If the need arises, we have the option to suspend the site or to close it indefinitely (although no reason as to why this would ever be necessary is foreseen by your-collection.com).  If the site is closed indefinitely then no further monies will be taken from its members and no refunds shall become payable by your-collection due to loss of service.  Your-collection.com and its owners shall not be held liable for any losses incurred by users due to site suspension, loss of data (including loss of a user’s collection or collections archive material) or closure of the site.  Note that the site is backed up to multiple servers and loss of date or failure of the site to perform is an unlikely event.

 

SERVICE CHARGES

Premium services are charged monthly in advance.  Increased services are provided from the time a user upgrades membership.  Users choose to use such services at their preferred membership level and your-collection.com will never charge for such services unless a user upgrades to the relevant level themselves.  If a user inadvertently attempts to exceed usage at a membership level, your-collection.com will not permit the present level to be exceeded and will provide a message/s to the user to advise upgrading.  There is no obligation at any time to upgrade.  When upgrading to a premium service, the user agrees to pay a subscription each month at the chosen premium level.  Users are free to cancel membership at any time without penalty and may restart membership at the same level at any time by paying the monthly fee from the time they wish to continue (no payments will be due for months during which membership was cancelled).  Unless a user deletes his collection before cancelling membership, then his collection will remain on the system during the time in which he/she no longer maintains membership of the site.  No refund of the present month’s subscription will become due when a user cancels membership.  Failure to pay the due monthly subscription for premium services will lead to suspension of site usage.  Usage may restart upon paying the monthly fee.

 

UPLOADING MATERIAL TO OUR SITE

All information and images uploaded to our site by you as a site user shall be of items in your ownership or for which you have permission from the owner to upload to our site.  You will be responsible for any legal recourse due to uploading copyright or otherwise illegal images.  You indemnify your-collection.com and its owners against any liability due to your actions when using this site.  No images of a pornographic or offensive nature shall be uploaded.  All descriptions shall be of an inoffensive nature.
