Moreover, ExAutoTrade does not oversee the content or accuracy of product listings, nor the quality, shipping, delivery, or return processes of any goods or services sold through the Stores. In addition to the general provisions outlined in these Terms, the following supplementary terms govern your utilization of and access to the Stores:

As the Stores serve as platforms for Sellers to list and sell their goods or services to customers, you acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, ExAutoTrade bears no responsibility for transactions between you and a Seller, nor for the goods or services offered by the Seller. ExAutoTrade makes no warranties or representations regarding the quality of goods or services provided by a Seller, nor the actions, omissions, or conduct of a Seller.
All information pertaining to goods or services listed for sale in the Stores (including product descriptions, images, specifications, pricing information, and policies referred to in subsequent paragraphs) is provided by the respective Sellers. Except where mandated by law, ExAutoTrade assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies, misstatements, or errors in this information. You agree to conduct your own inquiries to verify the information provided and to assess the suitability of goods or services before placing orders through the Stores.
When making an order through the Stores, you acknowledge and agree that the Seller may impose their own terms and conditions regarding the sale of goods or services, which will be presented to you through the Store. ExAutoTrade, unless expressly permitted in writing, will not be a party to any agreements or additional terms between you and a Seller.
The promotion of goods or services via the Stores constitutes an invitation to treat, not an offer to sell.
The Seller’s policies regarding cancellations, returns (including repairs and replacements), and refunds will govern any transactions between you and the Seller via the Stores. The handling of your personal information may also be subject to the Seller’s privacy policy. Before purchasing goods or services via the Stores, carefully review the Seller’s cancellation, return, and refund policy, presented to you through the Stores.
Similarly, the Seller’s policy for shipping and delivery of goods or services will apply to any transactions via the Stores. Prior to purchasing, carefully review the Seller’s shipping and delivery policy, available through the Stores.
Upon placing an order for a Seller’s goods or services, you will receive email confirmation of your order placement, and ExAutoTrade will forward the order to the Seller for confirmation. While stock levels are regularly adjusted, there may be instances where a Seller rejects your order at their discretion. In such cases, you will be notified by email, and ExAutoTrade will issue a refund for the order and associated shipping charges to the relevant payment method used for purchase. You are accountable for any loss resulting from discrepancies or errors in your order caused by you.
Prices of goods or services, delivery, and other charges are presented in Australian dollars. Payment must be received in full by ExAutoTrade prior to the dispatch of goods or services by a Seller. Failure to receive or decline of payment, including suspected fraud, will result in order cancellation, and if applicable, a refund to the relevant payment method used for purchase.
To cancel, return, request a refund, or raise an issue with goods or services purchased from a Seller, submit a request via the relevant Help Centre for the Store used. ExAutoTrade will then investigate the matter further, submit your request to the relevant Seller (if necessary), and provide reasonable assistance in resolving the issue. If a refund is permitted according to the Seller’s policies, it will be issued using the same payment method used for purchase. If ExAutoTrade determines that it cannot reasonably resolve the issue, you may be required to directly communicate with the Seller for resolution.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Stores. By placing an order for goods or services through the Stores, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and possess the legal right and capacity to do so.
