1. Eligibility / Registration
To use our services, you must be at least 18 years of age and be able to
form or enter into a legally binding contract in accordance with applicable
laws. If you are eligible to use our services, you must complete the
Registration process by providing Islambook with true and correct
information as required on the Islambook registration form. If the
information you provide is found to be false or non-verifiable, we may
suspend or terminate your registration and account.
2. Islambook serves only as a Venue
Islambook is an Internet site on which registered users post ads
offering merchandise which they possess and wish to sell in an open auction
environment. Registered users may also bid on or buy such merchandise. At no
time does Islambook possess, hold, or offer any merchandise for
sale or auction, nor are we involved in any part of the actual transaction.
Islambook serves only as a venue in which individual sellers and
buyers may engage in transactions between each other. Because of our
non-involvement in these transactions, it is the sole responsibility of the
seller to accurately represent the quantity, quality, safety, authenticity,
and availability of the items the seller has listed on the site.
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the bidder/buyer to verify with the
seller any or all information about any item listed on Islambook,
for which they intend on placing a bid, before placing such bid.
Islambook can not be responsible for a sellers willingness or
ability to sell any item they have listed, or a Bidders willingness to
follow through with a transaction for an item(s) for which they have placed
a bid. We encourage open communication between buyers and sellers before and
after any transaction takes place.
3. User Verification
Because of difficulties involved with verification over the Internet,
Islambook is unable to guarantee that a user is who they may claim
to be. If you are uncertain as to another users identity, we suggest that
you contact them. You may also review any members feedback profile to see
what others have said about dealing with them.
4. Disputes and Release
Because Islambook has no involvement in transactions between users
we can not get involved in disputes between users. You hereby release
Islambook (including all officers, employees, parent companies,
contractors, suppliers, or agents) from any and all types of damages or
claims resulting from such disputes.
5. Selling on Islambook

furthermore state that any item(s) which you are offering for auction/sale
does not violate any local, state, or federal laws, regulations, or
guidelines prohibiting the sale or distribution of your item(s).

6. Placing Bids
By placing a bid on an item(s) listed on Islambook, you are stating
that you have the ability and intention to purchase the item for the amount
of your bid, should the auction end and you are the high bidder. In the case
of a reserve auction, if your bid meets or exceeds the sellers stated
reserve price, you agree to purchase the item(s) for the amount of your
winning bid.
Before placing a bid in an auction, you should be certain
you understand all terms and conditions of the sale as indicated by the
seller. Placing a bid is considered a legal, binding contract in most
states. If you have any questions about an item, or the seller offering the

acceptable. These situations may include:
-
The seller has made material changes to the description
of the item after your bid was placed.

description of the item.

You have contacted the seller and received their
express permission to withdraw your bid.

other bidders to be revealed, then retract your high bid, and bid again at
a lower increment above the true high bidder.
-
Placing bids for the purpose of exposing the sellers
reserve price, then retract your bid and bid again later with a secondary
User ID.
-
Bidding on any item that you do not have the intention
or means to purchase at the close of the auction, should your high bid
cause you to win the auction. You are encouraged to ask the seller of an
item listed on Islambook, any questions you may have regarding
the sale of, or condition of the item before placing your bid.

and or delivery of the item does not violate any local, state or federal
laws, regulations or guidelines regarding the sale or distribution of such
item(s).
