Fees and Payment; Fees. There are no fees or costs associated with signing up for or maintaining a User Account. However, when requesting bidding privileges for your User Account, you will be required to provide us with a current, valid credit card in your name as part of our assessment of your assigned bidding limit. All information that you provide in connection with this process must be accurate, complete, and current. Depending on our assessment, you may be required to post a deposit prior to placing bids online in any auction. The fees we charge are listed on our selling fees page. We may change our seller fees from time to time by posting the changes on the GearSupply site 10 days in advance, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the reduction of fees. If you are a seller, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all GearSupply Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of GearSupply. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of GearSupply, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item doesn’t sell, given your usage of GearSupply Services for the introduction to a buyer. You must have a payment method on file when selling through GearSupply Services and pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services by the payment due date. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, retain collection agencies and legal counsel, suspend or limit Services, and, for accounts over 90 days past due, request that a third party payments processor deduct the amount owed from your a third party payments processor account balance. In any jurisdiction where GearSupply has an obligation to collect sales taxes on sales you make using GearSupply Services, we may collect such sales taxes from you via the payment method on file under the terms of the Billing Agreement or via any other means available to us. Seller fees don’t purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on GearSupply, whether on a web page, mobile app, or otherwise. We may display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other content in any part of our Services, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, sellers.

However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk.
