THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF ORANGE COUNTY, d.b.a. SHOPGOODWILL.COM OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES. BY REGISTERING, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.

This Agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services at SHOPGOODWILL.COM. By registering, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to accept and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not register and do not use or access our services. If you have any questions that our Frequently Asked Questions cannot answer, please contact SHOPGOODWILL.COM via e-mail at info@shopgoodwill.com.

SHOPGOODWILL.COM reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site. Amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our site. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in writing signed by both parties.

1. Eligibility for Membership. Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services. SHOPGOODWILL.COM may refuse our services (such as, but not limited to listings, chat, and bidding) to anyone at any time, at our sole discretion.

2. Fees. Joining SHOPGOODWILL.COM is free to all Bidders except as indicated in Section 1. You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to bid, buy, procure a listing from us or access our servers. We may in our sole discretion add, delete or change some or all of our services at any time.

3. SHOPGOODWILL.COM is Only a Venue. Our site acts as the venue for sellers, restricted to registered members of Goodwill Industries International, to conduct auctions and for bidders to bid on sellers’ auctions. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot and do not control whether or not sellers will complete the sale of items they offer or buyers will complete the purchase of items they have bid on. In addition, note that there are risks of dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you waive and release Goodwill Industries of Orange County, d.b.a. SHOPGOODWILL.COM, (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any such disputes which might arise, and you further agreed to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Goodwill Industries of Orange County, d.b.a. SHOPGOODWILL.COM, against any loss, cost, liability, or expense of any kind of nature, including without limitation to reasonable attorney’s fees, in the event that Goodwill Industries of Orange County, d.b.a. SHOPGOODWILL.COM is named in any action arising from any such dispute, or otherwise made a party to any such dispute. For legal reasons, we cannot nor do we try to control the information provided by other users which is made available through our system. By its very nature, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that you will use caution -- and common sense -- when using our site.

4. Bidding and Buying. New bidders (accounts less than 30 days old) will be restricted to participating on no more than 15 active auctions at one time. As a bidder, if you have the highest bid at the end of the auction, at or above the minimum bid price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), and your bid is accepted by the seller, you are OBLIGATED to complete the transaction. Please read the shopgoodwill.com non-paying bidder policy. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as the seller materially changing the description of the item after your bid or clear typographical errors, or when you can not authenticate the identity of the seller. You may not bid in a way that pulls other bidders to their maximum bid, retract the high bid, and then rebid at a small increment above the legitimate high bidder (bid manipulation). If you choose to bid on adult items, you are certifying that you have the legal right to purchase items intended for adults only.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Goodwill San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:

1. La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
2. El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
