PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN SECTION 19.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING AN INTERNET-BASED MARKETPLACE.
BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.

4. The Services
A. Posting Listings and Transacting
Home Gym Marketplace provides an online platform where users can list, browse, and purchase home gym equipment. You may list items for sale and make offers on items listed by other users, subject to these Terms and any applicable guidelines.
When you list an item, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to sell the item and that the listing description is accurate and not misleading. When you make an offer or purchase, you are entering into a transaction with the other user, not with Home Gym Marketplace.
For transactions conducted in person or outside the platform, Home Gym Marketplace has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or availability of items listed, the truth or accuracy of listings, or the ability of sellers to sell items or buyers to pay. Home Gym Marketplace cannot assist with refunds, returns, or disputes for transactions conducted outside the platform.
B. Offers and Deals
The offers and deals functionality enables buyers and sellers to negotiate and finalize transactions. By submitting an offer, you represent that you intend to complete the transaction in good faith. Sellers may accept, decline, or counter offers at their discretion. Once both parties agree to terms through the platform, you are expected to follow through on the transaction.
C. Payments
Home Gym Marketplace does not process, facilitate, or intermediate payments between buyers and sellers. All payments are arranged and completed directly between the parties to a transaction. The platform may allow users to indicate preferred payment methods (such as cash, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle) for informational convenience only. The display of any third-party payment method name does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or affiliation with that payment service.
You are solely responsible for selecting a payment method, verifying receipt of payment, and resolving any payment disputes directly with the other party. Home Gym Marketplace bears no liability for lost, stolen, misdirected, or disputed payments of any kind.
D. Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any applicable taxes arising from your use of the Services, including taxes on sales or purchases. Home Gym Marketplace may collect and remit sales tax where required by law.
E. Shipping and Delivery
Home Gym Marketplace provides a platform and communication venue to allow users to connect and negotiate transactions. We do not buy, sell, inspect, store, possess, pack, ship, or deliver any items listed on the Services. We are not a party to any shipping transaction and do not act as an agent, broker, or intermediary for any carrier or logistics provider. Any contract for the sale and shipping of goods is entered into strictly and directly between the respective buyer and seller.
Platform Role and Limitations. All shipping arrangements, logistics, carrier selections, and associated costs are handled directly between users through third-party services. Home Gym Marketplace does not process payments, generate shipping labels, calculate postage, or hold funds. You acknowledge and agree that Home Gym Marketplace:
- Does not provide, arrange, or facilitate shipping or delivery services of any kind;
- Does not offer or underwrite shipping insurance, package protection, or delivery guarantees;
- Does not verify the condition of items before or after shipment;
- Does not track shipments or confirm delivery on behalf of any party;
- Does not provide customer support, mediation, or dispute resolution for shipping-related issues, including but not limited to lost, stolen, damaged, delayed, or misdirected packages;
- Does not guarantee that any item will arrive, arrive in the described condition, or arrive within any particular time frame; and
- Is not responsible for any carrier's actions, omissions, errors, or service failures.
Seller Responsibilities. Sellers are solely responsible for securely packaging items, accurately calculating and communicating shipping costs, purchasing valid postage, and handing packages over to their chosen carrier in a timely manner. Sellers must comply with all applicable shipping laws, including restrictions on hazardous, prohibited, or restricted materials.
Buyer Responsibilities. Buyers are solely responsible for providing an accurate and deliverable shipping address to the seller. Buyers assume full financial responsibility for any agreed-upon shipping fees associated with the shipment.
Tracking Data and Status Updates. The Services may provide features allowing users to share tracking numbers or shipping status within message threads. These features are provided strictly for user convenience and informational purposes. Home Gym Marketplace does not verify, audit, or guarantee the validity of any tracking numbers or shipping statuses entered by users. A status update or the provision of a tracking number within the Services does not constitute proof of shipment or delivery.
Disclaimer of Shipping Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Home Gym Marketplace explicitly disclaims any and all liability arising out of or related to the packing, transit, shipping, and delivery of items. Home Gym Marketplace makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding:
- The accuracy of any shipping addresses provided by buyers;
- The intent, ability, or fulfillment capability of sellers to ship items;
- The safety, quality, or condition of items during or after transit; or
- The performance, delays, errors, loss, theft, damage, or actions of any third-party shipping carrier.
ASSUMPTION OF SHIPPING RISK. BY CHOOSING TO SHIP OR RECEIVE AN ITEM THROUGH A TRANSACTION INITIATED ON THE PLATFORM, YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SHIPMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- Loss, theft, or damage to items during transit;
- Misdelivery or non-delivery of packages;
- Inaccurate or incomplete shipping addresses provided by either party;
- Items that arrive in a condition different from their listing description;
- Costs of return shipping, re-shipping, or filing carrier claims; and
- Fraud by the other party, including but not limited to sending empty packages, misrepresenting shipment status, or providing false tracking information.
Home Gym Marketplace strongly encourages all users to use trackable shipping methods with delivery confirmation and to purchase adequate insurance for high-value items, but makes no representations about the sufficiency of any particular shipping method or carrier.
No Dispute Resolution for Shipping. Any dispute arising from a shipped transaction is between the buyer and the seller. In the event of a dispute regarding non-delivery, item damage, lost packages, or payment issues, users must resolve the matter directly with one another or through the applicable carrier's claims process. Home Gym Marketplace will not intervene in, mediate, or adjudicate any shipping-related dispute and bears no liability whatsoever for the outcome of any shipped transaction.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

19. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
YOU AND HOME GYM MARKETPLACE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES IS PERSONAL TO YOU AND HOME GYM MARKETPLACE, AND THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
YOU AND HOME GYM MARKETPLACE AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW).
A. Informal Resolution
Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you agree to first contact us at admin@homegymmarketplace.com with a written description of your claim, including your name, email address, account username, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party may initiate arbitration.
B. Binding Arbitration
If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may initiate binding arbitration through JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language.
For disputes involving less than $10,000, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or written submissions. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising under this agreement, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
C. Exceptions
Either party may bring a claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
D. One-Year Statute of Limitations
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF THE SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
E. Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms by emailing us at admin@homegymmarketplace.com with a clear statement of your intent to opt out. Your opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration under these Terms.
F. Severability
If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. If the prohibition on class actions is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and the dispute will be resolved in civil court.
20. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
21. Modifications to Services and Terms
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the "Last updated" date. By continuing to access or use the Services after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, please stop using the Services.

You may manage your notification preferences in your account settings, but certain transactional communications (such as those related to account security or active transactions) cannot be opted out of while your account is active.
23. Miscellaneous
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
