web site, it is important to realize that we are not a traditional
"auctioneer." Instead, YEN acts as a venue to allow
certain persons to sell and buy certain products at anytime, from
anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price
format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as "online
auctions" or "auctions."

Your
Earth Now's Role and Responsibilities. YourEarthNow.com
features two types of marketplaces, and Your Earth Now's role and
responsibilities vary in each such marketplace.
Your Earth Now's Direct Marketplace. Your Earth Now
itself is the seller of the products offered in the Your Earth Now
Direct Marketplace. Your Earth Now undertakes responsibility for
all aspects of the transaction and the product listing, including
product descriptions, identification of quantities, establishment
of starting and maximum bid prices, establishment of reserve
requirements (if any) and shipping.
Your Earth Now Earth Merchant
Marketplace. Your Earth Now earth merchants are Your Earth Now
approved third-party merchants who sell products on YEN. In this
program, the earth merchant is the seller of the product. To ensure
Your Earth Now buyers the ability to shop in a private and secure
environment, every Your Earth Now earth merchant must go through a
thorough application process including verification of bank and
trade references before they are approved to list products on YEN.
Your Earth Now earth merchants are established businesses (both
small and large) whose performances are monitored to ensure that
buyers receive the appropriate Your Earth Now service levels. These
earth merchants list their items directly and assume responsibility
for all aspects of their product listings including product
descriptions, identification of quantities, establishment of
starting and maximum bid prices, and shipping. Although Your
Earth Now does not own, warehouse, ship or otherwise manage any
inventory or goods offered by Your Earth Now earth merchants, those
merchants who do not meet Your Earth Now's service standards can
and will be removed from listing products on YEN. Your Earth Now
handles all payment processing for orders from these merchants and
Your Earth Now's Customer Care department provides assistance for
all issues to ensure a positive Your Earth Now experience.
YourEarthNow.com Payments.
Your Earth Now currently accepts credit card/debit card payments for
orders in the Your Earth Now Direct Marketplace and the Your Earth
Now Earth Merchant Marketplace. Your Earth Now honors Visa,
MasterCard, Discover and American Express. You warrant that any
payment method selected by you when placing a bid shall enable you
to make full and immediate payment for the item(s) chosen, if your
bid becomes the winning bid. In the event that the chosen payment
method does not enable you to make full and immediate payment for
any reason, including without limitation insufficient funds or
credit decline, Your Earth Now may in it sole and absolute
discretion cancel your bid. In such case, Your Earth Now may in it
sole and absolute discretion (but shall not be required to)
designate the next highest bidder (meeting the applicable minimum
bid or reserve requirements) as the winning bidder. At Your Earth
Now's sole discretion, but without any obligation, alternate payment
methods may be arranged with the product purchaser(s) in the case
where a payment method has been declined.
Your Earth Now Reservation of
Rights. Your Earth Now retains the right, but does not
have the obligation, to immediately halt any auction or product
sale, prevent or restrict access to YEN or the Services or take any
other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material,
inaccurate listings, inappropriately categorized items, auction
inaccuracies, product inaccuracies, unlawful items, items,
procedures, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and
guidelines contained on YEN, or for any other reason in the sole and
absolute discretion of Your Earth Now, and to correct any inaccurate
listing, auction inaccuracies, product inaccuracies, inappropriately
categorized items or technical problems on YEN.
Your
Transactions and Obligations. Bidders and buyers create
different obligations by accessing YEN and using the Services.
In the Earth Merchant Marketplace, the seller must sell the
product to the highest bidder that meets or exceeds the minimum
price.
Each transaction in the Your Earth Now Direct Marketplace
will indicate whether a reserve price has been established.
By entering into this Agreement and bidding on a product,
you agree to complete the transaction as described by this
Agreement. You acknowledge that by not fulfilling these
obligations, your action or inaction may be legally actionable.

Earth Now Direct Marketplace or Your Earth Now Earth Merchant
Marketplace is being shipped to Kansas, Your Earth Now must charge
sales/use tax on the transaction. Your Earth Now will accept Kansas
resale certificates only if submitted before the transaction
closes. In the Earth Merchant Marketplace, you agree that it is the
seller's and the buyer's responsibility to determine whether sales
or use taxes apply to the transactions and to collect, report and
remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You also
agree that Your Earth Now is not obligated to determine whether
sales or use taxes apply and is not responsible to collect, remit
or report any sales or use taxes arising from any transaction.
