Only adults (ie those aged 18 and over) are entitled to enter into legally binding contracts and as a result are the only people entitled to use the Services.

By registering you are making a statement, upon which we are entitled to rely, that you are aged 18 years or older and capable of forming a legally binding contract.

On occasions certain individuals and members will be refused access to the Services. Such suspensions shall be within our sole and absolute discretion.

You grant us a non-exclusive, world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use any information you provide to us or other users of our services, for example, during the registration, listing and selling process.

Such information shall be legal, decent, honest and truthful, shall not infringe any third party's rights, shall not contain any viruses or other malicious computer programming routines and shall not link to any other websites. Without limiting the above, all information you provide shall be accurate and complete and all registration details shall contain your correct name, address, credit or debit card number and other requested details.

You are solely responsible in all respects for all use of and for protecting the confidentiality of any email verification number and password which may be given to or selected by you for use on our site.

To use and rely on the Services we provide, all participants must understand their obligations to other users of our Services. If you make an offer to buy an item listed on the website and the seller accepts your offer, you must complete the transaction.

Your making of an offer entitles us and any seller to rely on such offer and as a result you warrant and undertake that you have the legal right to make such an offer and to enter into any such transaction.

If you make an offer for an item listed on our website, you acknowledge and agree that if your offer is accepted by the seller, you have entered into a legally binding contract with the seller to buy that item. You can only terminate that contract in limited circumstances set out in law, for example where the item does not materially comply with the information provided in relation to it or where you cannot identify the seller. Sellers may refuse to accept your offer for whatever reason.

With regard to returns and refunds, please read our Returns Policy. Your acceptance of these terms and conditions entitles us to assume you have read this Returns Policy. A refund will be granted for the subscription fee paid only for complete months paid and that Antiques.co.uk limited receive in writing 10 days prior to the termination of the agreement a notice of cancellation.

In relation to all goods you sell or offer for sale through the Services:

you must be the absolute unencumbered legal owner with the right to sell those goods; and

your sale or the use of the goods must not infringe any third party rights or be unlawful in any way and the goods must not be on our current Prohibited Items List.

• No government documents or personal documents such as passports driving licenses of the owner or third parties
• No weapons or ammunition unless they are over 50 years old
• Prohibitive goods from other countries.
• No fake or counterfeit currency
• No wild life
• No items that have copyright unless copyright owned by the seller

If selling, you must list all of your items in the correct category with accurate and appropriate descriptions and provide such information as we may request (together, 'the Listing Information'). Once you post the Listing Information, the item becomes 'a Listed Item'. Once an item becomes a Listed Item, you are making an irrevocable offer to sell.

Any seller who accepts an offer for a Listed Item is obliged to complete the sale of that item unless the buyer fails to meet the terms of the listing or the seller is unable to authenticate the identity of the buyer.

A Listed Item will remain listed on the Site until:

it is sold; or

the seller-specified listed time expires; or

we receive written notice via email from you that you wish to de-list it.
A Listed Item will be de-listed on receipt by us of written notice via email from you that you wish to de-list it, but we will retain the registration fee paid with respect to that item.

All sellers pay a registration fees for the use of our website and the Services in the amounts and in the manner specified from time to time in the Fee Schedule and we shall be entitled to charge interest on any late payment at a rate of 3% above Lloyds TSB Bank plc base rate until payment is received.

All buyers must pay sellers for items using credit or debit cards, cheques or banker's drafts unless an alternative method is expressly agreed by the seller. Payments shall be received in the currency specified on the website and all prices are exclusive of VAT, and other applicable taxes, delivery charges and insurance.

Buyers are responsible for any costs of delivery and any insurance costs.

Some transactions may involve sellers shipping items to buyers located outside the United Kingdom or outside the territory in which the seller resides. Buyers and sellers alike must observe and comply with all applicable regulations and legislation, including obtaining all necessary cultural or customs permits. Further, the importation and exportation of some items may be prohibited by certain national laws.

As discussed, we act merely as an introductory service providing a forum allowing sellers and buyers to come together, the former to list and sell items and the latter to make offers to buy them and to buy them.

Therefore we have no control whatsoever over the quality, legality or safety of any advertised items or of any other characteristics upon which a buyer may rely, the accuracy of any of the listings and the capacity of any seller or any buyer to transact.

Consideration should always be given to the nature of Internet transactions and the risks involved. You may never meet or speak to the other party to the transaction and, as a result, you must proceed with care and judgment when using the Services.
