To protect against the risk of liability, Green Ramona has at times recommended, and may continue to recommend, that PayPal or Stripe restrict access to funds in a seller's account based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, seller performance, returns, riskiness of the listing category, transaction value or the filing of a case. This may result in PayPal or Stripe determining to restrict funds in your account.
Sellers can create rules to automate returns and refunds under certain circumstances. For all new sellers, Green Ramona may set a default rule that automates the return process for some or all listings where returns are accepted. Sellers may remove or customise their returns preferences in their account settings within the Seller’s Dashboard.
When an item is returned, to refund the buyer, you authorise Green Ramona to request PayPal or Stripe to reverse the refund amount (in the same or other currency) from your account, and place the amount on your seller invoice as a fee (which may be charged to your automatic payment method on file). If the buyer returns an item because it does not match the listing description, sellers will usually be responsible for return postage costs.
The cost of return shipping for an item that is not as described is the seller’s responsibility.
You authorise Green Ramona to include return postage charges and auto-refunds on your seller invoice as a fee, which may be charged to your automatic payment method on file, when:
When a transaction is cancelled, and you choose to refund the buyer via Green Ramona, you authorise Green Ramona to request PayPal or Stripe to reverse the refund amount (in the same or other currency) from the seller's account, to the buyer.
If a seller chooses or is required to reimburse the buyer or Green Ramona because a case is resolved in the buyer's favour, we may:
Where the seller is found at fault, we will notify the seller and charge the reimbursement amount to the seller's chosen payment method, or invoice the seller for the reimbursement amount.
For future claims, where we resolve a dispute in the buyer's favour, we will notify the seller and continue to charge the seller's preferred payment method. If sellers do not provide Green Ramona with a valid reimbursement method, we may collect the outstanding sums using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies.
We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover. We will correct any processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the refund or reimbursement.
We try to keep Green Ramona and its Services safe, secure, and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services. Bid update and other notification functionality in Green Ramona's Services may not occur in real time. Such functionality is subject to delays beyond Green Ramona's control.
We (including our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, agents and employees) shall not be liable to you in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for any business losses, such as loss of data, profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, reputation or business interruption or for any losses which are not reasonably foreseeable by us arising, directly or indirectly from:
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you. This is especially so if you are a consumer.
You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you and the legality of any items you list on any of our sites.
Although we use techniques that aim to verify the accuracy and truth of the information provided by our users, user verification on the internet is difficult. Green Ramona cannot and does not confirm, and is not responsible for ensuring, the accuracy or truthfulness of users' purported identities or the validity of the information which they provide to us or post on our sites.
Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) any amounts due up to the price the item sold for on Green Ramona and its original postage costs, (b) the amount of fees in dispute not to exceed the total fees which you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, or (c) £100.
Nothing in these Conditions of Use & Sale shall limit or exclude our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence of our agents or employees, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.
You will compensate us in full (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) for any losses or costs, including reasonable legal fees, we incur arising out of any breach by you of these Conditions of Use & Sale, your improper use of Green Ramona's Services or your breach of any law or the rights of a third party.
If a dispute arises between you and Green Ramona, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly at hello@greenramona.com. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation. Any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with these Conditions of Use & Sale shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. You and Green Ramona both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
In simple terms, "non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts" means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from or in connection with these Conditions of Use & Sale against us in court, an acceptable court would be a court located in England, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. English law will apply in all cases.
If any provision of these Conditions of Use & Sale is held to be invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
You agree that we may at any time and without notice set-off any of the amounts held in Green Ramona user accounts held or controlled by you with any fees, charges or other amounts you owe us and (unless prevented by insolvency law) any such amounts you owe other members of Green Ramona (including, without limitation, in respect of any services provided by any member of Green Ramona). Our right to set-off means that we may deduct such fees, charges or other amounts mentioned in this paragraph from a Green Ramona credit balance held or controlled by you.
We may assign our rights and obligations under these Conditions of Use & Sale in accordance with the below (but without your prior express consent), provided that we assign these Conditions of Use & Sale on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you.
Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of these Conditions of Use & Sale.
If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
We may amend these Conditions of Use & Sale at any time by email or by posting the amended terms on greenramona.com. All amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted. Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of these amended terms constitutes your acceptance of them.
These Conditions of Use & Sale may not be otherwise amended except through mutual agreement by you and a Green Ramona representative authorised to do so.
The policies posted on our sites may be changed from time to time. Changes take effect when we post them on the Green Ramona site.
