CraftMe.com works to ensure that listed items do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been violated, please contact us at team at CraftMe.com.
CraftMe.com may limit (without limiting other remedies), terminate, discontinue or suspend our service and member accounts, delay or remove content, prohibit access to our website, services, and tools, and take technical and legal actions to keep members off our system if we think that they are creating problems or possible legal liabilities, infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, or acting inconsistently with our policies.

CraftMe Fees and Services
Joining CraftMe.com and bidding on listed items is free. However, we charge fees for using other services, such as listing items or subscribing to the store services. When you list an item or use a service that has a fee, we give you the opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged based on our fees programme. Our fees may change from time to time and they are effective after we provide you with at least 7 days notice by posting the changes on CraftMe.com. CraftMe may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on CraftMe.com.
Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in Australia Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our CraftMe.com and services in a timely manner with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection methods, including, but not limited to charging other payment methods recorded with us, maintaining collection agencies and legal counselling.
Content
When you use CraftMe.com, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, trademark, publicity, and database rights you have in the content that you gave us, in any media now or in the future.
Limitation of Liability
You will not hold CraftMe.com responsible for other members' content, actions, or inactions, items they list or their destruction of apparently fake items. You must acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer but we merely provide a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy almost anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats and locations, such as Stores, fixed price formats, and auction-style formats. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through a range of programmes, we have no control over and do not guarantee the safety, quality, or legality of items advertised on CraftMe.com, the genuineness or accuracy of members' content and listings, the ability and legality of sellers to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item. In some categories, such as CraftMe.com Motors and CraftMe.com Real Estate, a bid or offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a buyer's serious expression of interest in buying the seller's item.
Please note that we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of Australia laws and regulations (unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise). We also can't guarantee secure or uninterrupted access to our website, services and tools, and operation of our platforms can be interfered with by reasons outside of our control. For that reason we exclude all implied guarantees, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill or reputation, or any unique, indirect or resulting damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your failure to use our websites, services and tools.
However, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of the total fees (under CraftMe.com Fees and Services programme) you have paid us in the year prior to the action giving rise to the liability, and 101 AUD.
Release
If you have a dispute with one or more members, you free us (and our directors, officers, agents, subsidiaries, employees, joint ventures, and licensors) from demands, claims, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
Access and Interference
Much of the information on the CraftMe.com is updated on a live basis and is proprietary or is licensed to CraftMe.com. You agree not to use any robot, scraper, spider, or other automated technology to access CraftMe.com for any purpose without our express handwritten permission.
Moreover, you agree not to take any action that may require (in our sole good judgment) an unreasonable or excessively large load on our infrastructure or systems, as well as not to copy, modify, duplicate, create derived works, distribute, or openly display any content (except for your information) from the CraftMe.com without the prior express written consent of CraftMe.com and the appropriate third party, as applicable. You also agree not to attempt to obstruct with the proper working of the CraftMe.com websites, services and tools, or any activities carried out on or with the CraftMe.com websites or bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to our website.
