Terms & Conditions

By using the Shustir.com web site ("Shustir" or the "Site"), a service of Shustir LLC, you (the "user" or "you") agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use" or the "Agreement"), including those available by hyperlink.

If you have any questions, please refer to the Help section of the Site.

Before you may become a member of Shustir, you must read and accept all the terms and conditions in, and linked to, this Agreement.

Shustir acts as a venue to allow users who comply with Shustir's policies to (1) offer, sell, and buy certain goods and services within a fixed price format, and (2) connect people around the world through various social utility functions. Shustir is not directly involved in the transactions between buyers and sellers or the communications and interactions between users. As a result, Shustir has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the goods or services listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or provide services, or the ability of buyers to pay for items or the services. Shustir does not pre-screen users or the content or information provided by users. Shustir cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Consequently, Shustir does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer.

Shustir cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of a user. Shustir encourages you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available on the Site. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.

You agree that Shustir is a venue and as such is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, data, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links posted by you, other users, or outside parties on Shustir. You use the Shustir service at your own risk.

Any buyer of goods and/or services from a Seller ("Buyer") must also be 18 years or older or have permission from a legal guardian. Any user who is not a Seller or a Buyer (i.e. a user using the Site for its social networking functions) must be 13 years or older.

Compliance: You agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content. You are responsible for all applicable taxes. In addition, you must abide by Shustir's policies as stated in the Agreement and these Shustir policy documents:

Right to Refuse Service: Shustir's services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Shustir members. Shustir reserves the right, in Shustir's sole discretion, to cancel unconfirmed or inactive accounts. Shustir reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, at any time.

2. Fees and Services

Joining and creating a storefront/profile on Shustir is free. Shustir charges an optional monthly fee of: i) $25 for its SuperSeller premium members (premium member), ii) $5 for its third party ad turn off and iii) those associated with showcasing members as a Featured Business. When you register you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Shustir's fees are subject to change. Shustir may, at Shustir's sole discretion, change some or all of Shustir's services at any time. In the event Shustir introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars (USD).

You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using Shustir. Shustir keeps Sellers' valid credit card or other accepted payment information on file for any fees charged. If Shustir terminates your account, if you close your account, or if the payment of your Shustir fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to pay Shustir for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. If you have a question or wish to dispute a charge, contact Shustir.

3. Listing and Selling

Listing Description: By listing a good or service on the Site you warrant that you and all aspects of such good or service complies with Shustir's policies. You also warrant that you may legally sell such good or service. You must accurately describe your good or service and all terms of sale in your Shustir storefront. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that good or service. All goods and services must be listed in an appropriate category with appropriate tags. Each listing must accurately and completely describe the goods and services for sale in that listing. If the "in stock" quantity for goods is more than one, all items in that listing must be identical. Each unique good must have its own listing.

Storefront Policies: All Sellers are urged to outline storefront policies for their Shustir storefront. These policies may include, for example: shipping, returns, payment and selling policies. Sellers must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. All storefront policies must comply with Shustir's site-wide policies. Sellers are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable storefront policies. Shustir reserves the right to request that a Seller modify a storefront policy.

Binding Sale: All sales are binding. The Seller is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the Buyer fails to meet the terms of the Seller's listing (such as payment method), or (b) the Seller cannot authenticate the Buyer's identity. The Buyer is obligated to deliver appropriate payment for goods or services purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance.

Fee Avoidance: The price stated in for each good or service listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for packaging and mailing goods. Sellers may not charge excessive shipping fees or otherwise avoid fees. You may not alter the price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Shustir transaction fees, misrepresent a good's location, or use another user's account without permission.
