Buyers and sellers agree to follow the requirements of the Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection Policy with respect to claims. Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection covers only claims filed?in accordance with the?Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection Policy, not claims filed with PayPal. We may suspend the Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection Policy without notice if we suspect abuse or interference with the proper working of the program.

We require Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter sellers to comply with our resolution process. Buyers and sellers permit us to make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any claim that a buyer files with Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter under the Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection Policy.

In addition:

• Sellers must have a reimbursement method on file with Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter .

• Where there are insufficient funds in PayPal accounts or where PayPal is not the reimbursement method of a seller, we will require another reimbursement method.
• Sellers agree to allow us to charge the payment method they designate for amounts due buyers.

Changing a reimbursement method will not affect Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter 's use of a payment method on file for other purposes (such as payment of your Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter fees). If sellers do not provide Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter with a valid reimbursement method, we may collect amounts owed using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies.

• Correcting Mistakes in Payments to Buyers or Sellers. We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover.? We will correct any processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the erroneous Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection refund or reimbursement.

PayPal has held, and will continue to hold, seller funds pursuant to the terms of the PayPal User Agreement, PayPal policies and any other agreement entered into between PayPal and its users.

Fees and Services

Joining Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter and bidding on listed items is free. We do charge fees for using other services, such as listing items. When you list an item or use a service that has a fee, you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged based on our Fees schedule, which we may change from time to time. Changes to that schedule are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen days' notice by posting the changes on the Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter site. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events (for example, free listing days) or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the sites.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our sites 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 mechanisms. (This includes charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies and legal counsel, and for accounts over 180 days past due, deducting the amount owed from your PayPal account balance.)

Content

When you give us content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, trademark, publicity, and database rights (but no other rights) you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future.

For the convenience of sellers, we may offer catalogs of stock images, descriptions and product specifications that are provided by third parties (including Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter users). You may use catalog content solely in connection with your Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter listings during the time your listings are on Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter 's sites.

While we try to offer reliable data, we cannot promise that the catalogs will always be accurate and up-to-date, and you agree not to hold our catalog content providers or us responsible for inaccuracies in catalogs. If you choose to include catalog content in your listings, you continue to be fully responsible for your listings and for ensuring that your listings are accurate, do not include misleading information, and comply with this User Agreement and all Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter policies. The catalogs may include copyrighted, trademarked or other proprietary materials. You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary or identification markings included with the catalogs or create any derivative works based on catalog content (other than by including them in your listings).

Limitation of Liability

You will not hold Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter responsible for other users' content, actions or inactions, items they list or their destruction of allegedly fake items. You acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, our sites?are venues to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about 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 various programs, we have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users? content or listings, the ability 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. For certain categories, particularly Motor vehicles and 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 and does not create a formal contract between the buyer and the seller.

We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer.? California Commercial Code ? 2401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code ? 2-401(2) applies to the transfer of ownership between the buyer and the seller, unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise. Further, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our sites, services or tools, and operation of our sites, services or tools may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted, we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill or reputation, or any special, indirect or consequential damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your inability to use our sites, services and tools.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) any amounts due under the Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Buyer Protection Policy up to the full cost of the item (including any applicable sales tax) and its original shipping costs, (b) the total fees (under Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter Fees and Services) you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, and (c) $100.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code ?1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Access and Interference

The sites contain robot exclusion headers. Much of the information on the sites is updated on a real-time basis and is proprietary or is licensed to Costa Rica Real Estate Hunter by our users or third parties. You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the sites for any purpose without our express hand written permission.
