II. Buying and Selling Ice Time.
A. The Site is an ice time availability listing and information service that brings together buyers and sellers, and provides a forum for sellers to advertise for sale or rental available ice times at various rinks and arenas, and for buyers to search for available ice times to purchase or rent. The Company only provides the service of connecting buyers, sellers, and renters of ice time. The Company is not a party to any transaction between buyers, sellers, or renters that originates on or through the Site and the Company will not become involved in any transaction between users, buyers, sellers, or renters, nor will the Company get involved in any disputes between or among them. The Company has no stake or involvement in the completion of any transactions that my result among our users.
B. Information about a particular sheet of available ice is supplied by the seller, not by the Company. The price, payment terms, and any other sale or rental terms remain subject to direct negotiation between the buyer and the seller, without any involvement of the Company. Before entering into a transaction with a buyer, seller, or renter you should confirm with that person or entity any information, including the price, payment terms, time for performance, and any other considerations that are important to your purchasing, selling or renting decision. You and the other party to the transaction are solely responsible for working out the terms of the sale. We have no authority to act for the seller, buyer, or renter. You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of any ice purchased or rented through a seller offering ice through this Site is subject to terms and conditions you agree to with that seller as well as the rules, regulations, and procedures of the rink or arena that owns ice.
C. We are hopeful that visitors to, and users of, our Site will treat each other fairly; however, we do not and cannot control whether buyers, sellers, and renters will complete any contemplated transactions. We also do not and cannot verify the information that buyers, sellers, or users supply is accurate, nor can we guarantee the availability of, or right to use, the offered ice time, nor can we verify or assess the ability or commitment of the buyers, sellers, or renters to complete any transaction you may enter into with any of them. We also cannot assure the seller or renter of ice time that the payment he or she receives from the buyer is legitimate or will be forthcoming.
