If we make material changes to this Agreement, we will post such revised Agreement on our Site and notify you by email or otherwise as permitted by law.

a. Only a Venue. The Site is a listing and information service that brings together Buyers and Sellers. BidtoBuyGuns.com is not a party to any transaction between Buyers and Sellers that originates on or through the Site. Information about a particular Item is supplied by the Seller, not by BidtoBuyGuns.com. Subject to Section 6 below regarding the Buyer Protection Program, the warranties on and other terms applicable to the sale of any Item are determined solely by the Listing, and the price and auction winner by the automated function of the Site carrying out the Listing terms input by the Seller and the bidding or buying instructions input by Buyer. BidtoBuyGuns.com is not a traditional auctioneer and does not act as agent of any Buyer, Seller or other User of the Site.
b. BidtoBuyGuns.com Is Not the Seller. BidtoBuyGuns.com is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers, has no contact with any Items, and where payment is not facilitated on the Site, does not receive information about the Buyer or Seller’s consummation of agreed sales of Items (unless we are contacted by Buyer or Seller). All payments by Buyers for Items, including where facilitated by a checkout and/or payment process integrated with the Site, are received by the applicable Sellers, not by BidtoBuyGuns.com. We do not transfer legal ownership of Items from the Seller to the Buyer, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify the governing provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2) and § 2-401(2) as implemented in any applicable state, under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the Item to the Buyer by the Seller. Unless the Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise, the Buyer will become the Item’s lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the Seller (in and the case of Firearms, upon legal Transfer by the applicable FFL).
c. Transfers of Firearms. All shipments and sales of Firearms on the Site must be carried out through the process of legal Transfer of the Firearm to the applicable Buyer by an FFL selected by the Buyer. Upon winning or purchasing a Firearm, the Buyer must designate an FFL for shipment and Transfer of the Firearm. FFLs may charge separate fees for this service. Where the FFL determines that the Buyer is not eligible under Applicable Law for Transfer of the Firearm or other Item, BidtoBuyGuns.com will void the sale, refund the “Final Value” fees paid by Seller to BidtoBuyGuns.com for the sale, and relist the Item without additional charges to Seller. Fees for “Optional Services” are not subject to refund. Depending on the terms of the applicable Listing, Buyer may be responsible for additional shipping charges in this case.
Binding Contract. Listing an Item constitutes entering into a binding legal contract with the applicable Buyer to sell the Item on the terms stated in this Agreement, the Site Rules and in the Listing, if the Buyer’s bid is the winning bid or the Buyer’s offer is accepted as described in this Agreement and the Site Rules. Note that when a Listing includes a fixed price (such as a “Buy Now” price or an “Auto Accept” price) and a Buyer makes an offer to pay the fixed price, the offer is automatically and immediately accepted. In addition, when a Listing includes the option to accept offers and a Buyer makes an offer to pay an offer price for an Item, the offer is active and irrevocable during a period no longer than 48 hours, after which the offer expires. During the applicable period, the Seller may accept or reject the offer. As Seller of an Item, you agree to complete the sale of all listed Items on such terms.
b. Representations and Warranties. You as Seller of Items on the Site represent and warrant to BidtoBuyGuns.com during the term of this Agreement that:
