If an order is placed by a buyer, a contract of sale will be formed between the buyer and the seller directly. We do not act as agent for either party and do not participate in any sale or transaction between you and other members, including where you use the credit card service. If you use the credit card or merchant gateway service, we simply pass on payments made by one member to another, after accounting for GALADO “Transaction Fees”

You agree that GALADO takes no responsibility or liability for any misconduct of any of its members including, without limitation, members that have registered under false pretences or who attempt to defraud you.
