USER AGREEMENT
  WatchParadise.com

Welcome to Big Wave's User Agreement. This Agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services at / .  If you have any questions, please contact us at support@watchparadise.com.

As used in this section, "Big Wave" refers to Big Wave Net Ventures, LLC of Dallas, Texas, owner and operator of the watchparadise.com web site.

We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site.  Except as stated below, all amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our site.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH BIG WAVE OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES:

This User Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and Big Wave Net Ventures, LLC doing business as WatchParadise.com, with a principal place of business at 12900 Preston Road, Suite 1001, Dallas, Texas 75230. This Agreement shall apply to the Big Wave Net Ventures, LLC Web site WatchParadise.com (hereinafter referred to as the "WatchParadise.com Web site," the "Web site," or the "Site.") Your rights and obligations under this Agreement and in using this Site are not assignable. Your use and access of the WatchParadise.com Web site constitutes your acceptance, without modification, of the terms, conditions and notices contained herein. In addition, when using particular WatchParadise.com Web site services, you will be subject to any posted guidelines, rules, and policies applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines, rules, and policies are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. 
By using the WatchParadise.com Web site, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS THEREOF. Please read the following terms carefully. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not access, view, obtain goods or services from, or otherwise use the WatchParadise.com Web site.
GENERAL RULES

1.	Membership Eligibility.

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 or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Watchparadise.com members. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services. Further, your WatchParadise account may not be transferred or sold to another party.

2.	Watchparadise.com is Only a Venue.

Our site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy watches, timepieces and related items in a fixed price format. 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 ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

2.1	Safe Trading.

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, Big Wave cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners.  You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.

2.2	Release.

Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Big Wave Net Ventures, LLC (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries 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 such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code ''1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

2.3       Information Control.

We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign nationals.

3.    Buying.

You are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller if you purchase an item.  By agreeing to purchase an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item's description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Purchases are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances such as when the seller materially changes the item's description after you purchase, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot authenticate the seller's identity.

4.	Listing and Selling.

4.1	Listing Description.

You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on our Site. You must describe your item and all terms of sale on the listing page of our Site. Your listings may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that item. All listed items must be listed in an appropriate category.

4.2	Fraud.
