• You may cancel your subscription at any time, with cancellation taking effect at the end of your current billing period
• If you exceed your plan's listing limit, you will be prompted to upgrade to a higher tier plan

8. Transactions Between Users

SpareSeekers is a platform that facilitates connections between buyers and sellers but is not involved in the actual transactions between users. Therefore:

• All transactions are between the buyer and seller directly
• We do not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of listed items
• We do not guarantee the accuracy of listings
• We are not responsible for fulfilling any commitments made between users

9. Dispute Resolution

9.1 Disputes Between Users

If a dispute arises between users:

• Buyers and sellers should first attempt to resolve the dispute directly
• SpareSeekers may, at its discretion, offer limited assistance in facilitating communication
• We may provide information on best practices for dispute resolution
• We are not obligated to mediate or resolve disputes between users

9.2 Disputes with SpareSeekers

If you have a dispute with SpareSeekers:

• You agree to contact us first at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally
• If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any formal dispute must be submitted to binding arbitration in England and Wales
• The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration
• You waive your right to bring a class action against SpareSeekers
• Nothing in these Terms prevents you from bringing a claim in the small claims courts of England and Wales if applicable

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement

• Our aggregate liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of (a) the amount of fees you paid to use the Platform in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) £100

While we act as a marketplace facilitator, users acknowledge that the primary relationship and responsibility for transactions exist between buyers and sellers. However, this limitation does not exclude our liability for matters that cannot be excluded under applicable law, such as fraud or willful misconduct on our part.
