Detailed Terms of the Agreement
Photogon is only a Venue
Our web site acts purely as a venue to allow eligible users to offer, sell, and buy audio related products via "online auctions" or "classifieds." We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or fit for use of the items advertised, the truth, accuracy, or completeness of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell the items posted or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction, nor can we insure that a transaction will be satisfactory for both parties.

User Identity confirmation
Photogon may use techniques to attempt to identify our users when they register to use our site.  By registering, you are authorizing Photogon to use the information you provide, to evaluate, confirm, or otherwise ascertain the accuracy of the information.  However, due to the difficulty of verification over the internet, Photogon can not and does not claim to have confirmed each user's identity as submitted to us, or provided to you directly by that user.

Information control
We do not control the information posted by our users that is available publicly or otherwise made available to you through our system.  There may be risks involved when relying on the information posted, or transacting with users based upon such information. 
Photogon does not confirm the accuracy or completeness of any information posted on this web site, but may remove such information when made aware of inaccuracies.

Release
In the event of a dispute with one or more users, you release
Photogon, it's officers, employees, agents and suppliers, from all claims, demands, actual or consequential damages of any nature, known and unknown, disclosed and undisclosed, arising from or connected with any such disputes.  If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims with 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".

No Agency
You and Photogon are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

Photogon and our suppliers provide this service "as is", without any warranty or condition, express, implied, or statutory.  We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for use, and non-infringement.  Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.
