We may post changes to these terms at any time, and any such changes will be applicable to all subsequent access to or use of our site. If at any time you do not accept and agree to all provisions of these terms, you may reject these terms by immediately terminating all access to and use of the site.

1. Moderation

We have the right to, but not the obligation to, regulate "content" (which includes but is not limited to postings, images, video, files, ads, accounts, emails, messages and any other user communications) posted to, stored on, or transmitted via our site by any user or any third party; to regulate conduct (including but not limited to any authorized or unauthorized access to or use of our site) by any user or any third party; and to enforce these terms, for any reason and in any manner or by any means that we deem necessary or appropriate (including but not limited to automated and manual screening, blocking, filtering, exclusion from index pages, exclusion from search results, authorization, verification, and the deletion and/or termination of content, accounts and/or all or any use or access). We may, at our sole discretion, start, stop or modify any regulation or enforcement measures at any time. Our action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of these terms by any user or any third party does not waive our right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct or potential terms violation.

You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by us or by any of our management personnel, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, "our representatives" and individually "our representative") to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential terms violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither we nor any of our representatives will be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these terms.

Although our representatives may moderate content on our site at our discretion, our representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on behalf of us will "take care" of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on behalf of us will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported terms violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by our representative (or by anyone else acting on behalf of us or by anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) that we (including but not limited to our representative, anyone else acting on behalf of us, or anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported terms violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that we, our representatives and anyone else authorized to act on behalf of us will in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that we, our representatives or anyone else on behalf of us would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported terms violation. For the purpose of clarity, the opinions, statements, comments, posts and other communications expressed on our site are solely those of the poster and not ours, or an our employees, officers, directors, shareholders, subsidiaries, parent companies, attorneys or other agents.

15. Notice for California Residents

Please be sure to identify the specific website, software, or service about which you have a question or complaint and how we can contact you.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

We believe we will be able to resolve most disputes or issues you may have using our site. In the unlikely event we are not able to resolve a dispute or issue, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, you agree to the following resolution process.

Since we always prefer to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with us for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at admin@AuctionTalk.com.

If we are unable to mutually agree upon a resolution after the 30-day period, you agree that any claim you may have against us regarding these terms or our site will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS and governed by the then current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. It is important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived.

As an exception to this arbitration agreement, we are happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.

We prefer to resolve our issues with you directly. Accordingly, you agree to arbitrate with us only in your individual capacity, and not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there will be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.

You agree that arbitration will be exclusively held in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin and that each party will be responsible for its own costs, including paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. In order to select an arbitrator, each party agrees to provide a list of two available arbitrators that have experience with the subject matter. Each party may strike one of the names on the other party's list. The parties will select an arbitrator out of the remaining two arbitrator names. If the parties cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, JAMS will choose the arbitrator randomly from the two remaining arbitrators. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
