Bonanza User Agreement
Updated November, 2023
By using the bonanza.com web site (the "Website") or establishing an account with Bonanza and using the Bonanza service (the "Service"), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the "Bonanza User Agreement").
I. Overview
Importantly, although Bonanza is commonly referred to as an online marketplace, it is not a traditional "retailer."
Instead, Bonanza acts as a venue to match buyers and sellers. Bonanza is not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers and does not transfer legal ownership of items from the sellers to buyers. As a result,
Bonanza has no control over the items advertised, or the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to
pay for items.
Definitions
"Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to Bonanza or other users in the registration,
in the listing process (which includes photographs and descriptions), in any public message area (including the Forums
or the feedback area) or through any email feature. You are solely responsible for Your Information, and Bonanza acts
as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of Your Information.
"Your Activities" include, for example, listing items, posting comments in any public message area
(including the Forums or the feedback area), and email.
Dispute Resolution
Bonanza's goal is to make you happy. In the event a dispute arises between you and Bonanza, please email Bonanza at
support@bonanza.com and we will work quickly towards a solution. We encourage
you to report all user-to-user disputes to your local law enforcement, postmaster general, or a certified mediation or
arbitration entity.

- Bonanza reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
- Bonanza may remove content (by way of example but without limitation: items, item descriptions, chat text, booth text, and information submitted in the forums) that Bonanza determines is unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party's intellectual property, Bonanza Terms of Use, Bonanza Privacy Policy, or any other policy documents and community guidelines as posted on Bonanza. Bonanza has no obligation to do so, however.

By uploading images and item description content to Bonanza, you agree to allow other Bonanza users to view them and you agree to allow Bonanza to display the images and content on Bonanza, or in emails from Bonanza, and store the images, item description, profile and other content.
- All Bonanza graphics, logos, designs, page headers, button icons, scripts, and service names are registered or unregistered trademarks or service marks. Bonanza's trademarks or name may not be used, including as part of trademarks and/or as part of domain names, in connection with any product or service in any manner that is likely to cause confusion.
II. Membership Eligibility
Bonanza's services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under
applicable law. Bonanza's services are not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or to temporarily or
indefinitely suspended Bonanza members. If you are a under the age of 18, you can use this service only in conjunction
with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians. If you do not qualify, please do not use Bonanza.

III. Purchasing/Buyer Obligations and Guidelines
A buyer is obligated to complete the transaction of a purchase of an item on Bonanza in any shop within three (3) days. A buyer is obligated to immediately pay in full if using PayPal or Amazon Pay by clicking the payment button during checkout.
A seller must abide by all of Bonanza's policies and the seller's own individual shop policies and sell the item as described. Likewise, a seller must abide by the seller's own individual policies when dealing other issues, for example, issues of damage and returns.
Buyers remorse is not a valid reason for requesting a refund from a seller. Prior to making a purchase, buyers should review all sellers policies regarding refunds, returns, and seller policies.
IV. Listing/Seller Obligations and Guidelines
Bonanza's Fees and Credit Policy
Changes to the Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for our services are effective after Bonanza provides you with at
least fourteen (14) days' notice of the changes by posting the changes on Bonanza. However, Bonanza may choose to
temporarily change Bonanza's Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for Bonanza's services for promotional events (for
example, free listing days) and such changes are effective when Bonanza posts the temporary promotional event on
Bonanza. Bonanza may, at Bonanza's sole discretion, change some or all of Bonanza's services at any time. In the event
Bonanza introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless
otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Unless granted an exception by Bonanza, Bonanza requires all seller accounts to provide a credit or debit card for the purposes of verification of their identity, and for payment of fees and services rendered.
You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using Bonanza's service and Bonanza and all applicable taxes. If a seller owes more than $3.00 USD in fees at the beginning of the month, they are emailed an invoice detailing the amount due. Payment for the amount due must be made in full within 30 days of the date on the invoice.
Fees for our services will be described once they are determined.
Listing Description and Images: You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on
the Site. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of the Site. Your listings may only
include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All listed items
must be listed in an appropriate category. Each listing must accurately and completely describe the item/items for
sale in that listing. If the "in stock" quantity is more than one, all items in that listing must be
identical. Each unique item must have its own listing. Listings may not contain outbound links that direct users off
of Bonanza. A listing's main image must accurately represent the actual product that is for sale and must not infringe
upon any third party's intellectual property rights.
Binding Sale: All sales are binding. If you, as a seller, receive a purchase request (order) you are
obligated to complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance,
such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method), or (b) you cannot
authenticate the buyer's identity.
Termination: Without limiting any other remedies, Bonanza, without notice, may suspend or terminate
your account if Bonanza suspects, in its sole discretion, that you (by information, investigation, conviction,
settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have violated any of Bonanza's policies set out in this
Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or any other policy documents or community guidelines, or you have engaged in an
improper or fraudulent activity in connection with Bonanza. If Bonanza terminates a listing or your account, if you
close your account, or if the payment of your seller fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to
pay Bonanza for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. If the seller's account is not paid in full and
becomes past due, Bonanza reserves the right to attempt to collect past due fees by charging the seller's card on
file. The seller risks additional penalties such as the suspension of privileges and/or termination of the account and
other collection mechanisms (including retaining collection agencies and legal counsel). If you have a question or
wish to dispute a charge, contact Bonanza support.
Manipulation: The price stated in each Bonanza Item Description must be an accurate representation of
the sale. Manipulation refers to activities whereby the price no longer accurately represents the monetary value of
the transaction. For example manipulative activities include, but are not limited to, intentionally stating one price
in the Item Description but charging a higher price to the buyer, altering the item's price prior to a sale for the
purpose of avoiding Bonanza transaction fees, and hacking into another's account and altering prices. Neither buyer
nor seller, may manipulate the price of any item for any reason.
Sellers have up to 180 days from the date of the transaction to request refunds on the final value fees. Final value fee refund requests on transactions outside of 180 days will not be honored.
Shipping and fulfillment:
Sellers are responsible for fulfilling orders placed through the Bonanza platform within the handling
time stated in their settings. Sellers agree to adhere to Bonanza’s policy documents or community guidelines
surrounding shipping requirements.
V. Usage Guidelines
Third Party Content; Identity Verification: You understand that the Bonanza, including Bonanza booth
chat, acts only as a marketing platform and technical interface between users and that Bonanza does not itself verify
the qualifications of users, nor does it evaluate or control in any ongoing manner exchanges between users. Any
opinions or statements expressed by a user are of those of the user alone, and are not to be attributed to Bonanza.
Bonanza cannot and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, safety, reliability, timeliness,
innocuousness, legality or applicability of anything said, written, posted, displayed or otherwise made available by
any user.
You understand that you may be exposed to content that you find offensive to you, and that you use the Bonanza at your
own risk.
Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using Bonanza. Please note that there are also risks
of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing
with international trade and foreign nationals. By using Bonanza, you agree to accept such risks and that Bonanza (and
our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) is not responsible for any and all acts
or omissions of users on Bonanza
Bonanza uses many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information Bonanza's users provide to Bonanza when they
register on Bonanza. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Bonanza cannot and does not
confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, Bonanza has established a user-initiated feedback system to help you
evaluate with whom you are dealing. Bonanza also encourages you to communicate directly with potential transaction
partners through the tools available on Bonanza. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or
services that provide additional user verification.

(a) be false, inaccurate or misleading;

posted on Bonanza or;
(bb) are identical to other items you have for sale but are priced lower;
(cc) are concurrently listed for sale on a web site other than Bonanza's (this does not prevent linking to or
advertising an Bonanza item from another web site); or
(dd) you do not have a right to link to or include.
(ee) have pricing deemed to be excessive on specific items needed for the health and well-being of the general
populace in times of emergency or other market disruptions that cause a shortage of some goods.
Furthermore, you may not list any item on Bonanza (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our service)
that, by paying to us the listing fee or the final value fee, could cause us to violate any applicable law, statute,
ordinance or regulation, or that violates the Terms of Use.
Access and Interference: Bonanza may contain robot exclusion headers. Much of the information on
Bonanza is updated on a real time basis and is proprietary or is licensed to Bonanza by Bonanza's users or third
parties. You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access Bonanza for any
purpose without our prior express written permission. Additionally, you agree that you will not:
(i) take any action that imposes, or may impose, in our sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large
load on our infrastructure;

without the prior expressed written permission of Bonanza and the appropriate third party, as applicable;
(iii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any activities conducted on the Site;
or
(iv) bypass our robot exclusion headers or other measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to Bonanza.
Feedback Integrity; Feedback Export: You may not take any actions that may undermine the integrity
of the feedback system. Bonanza may, without prior notice, limit the number of purchases and listings, which you may
place on Bonanza based upon the level of your feedback. If you earn a low percentage feedback rating, your account
will automatically be flagged for staff review, at which time your membership may be fully or partially suspended, and
you may be unable to list or buy.
You acknowledge that your feedback consists of comments left by other users and a composite feedback number compiled
by Bonanza. Further, you acknowledge that the composite number, without the feedback comments, does not convey your
full user reputation. Because feedback ratings are not designed for any purpose other than for facilitating
transactions between Bonanza users, you agree that you shall not market or export your Bonanza feedback rating in any
venue other than a Bonanza operated website.
