Terms & Conditions

Introduction

Used Jamaica is an online marketplace encouraging people to find the joy in selling. Turn home items, electronics, fashion and everything into cash!

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) apply to the use of all Used Jamaica. If using Used Jamaica the user accepts these terms and shall be obliged to adhere to them. 

Services Offered

As a registered user, you can make offers and buy and sell a variety of goods and services (“products”). This is permitted providing it doesn’t break any laws, is not against good morals, our Terms, or our Prohibited Items list.

Once the user has confirmed their purchase the user agrees that Used Jamaica, concluding the contract, delivers the service in its entirety immediately. 

Used Jamaica is not responsible for content generated by users and there is no right for publication of content. Used Jamaica reserves the right to suspend or remove a user from the platform without reason. It is also prohibited to create another account under a different name and/or e-mail address if you have previously been blocked from using Used Jamaica.

Contractual conditions

Used Jamaica only provides the framework for users to buy and sell. Posts for buying and selling are not legally binding offers by Used Jamaica and Used Jamaica is not a contracting party. The contract is between the users of the marketplace and the fulfillment of these contracts is concluded via the Used Jamaica Services but carried out exclusively among the users. 

Used Jamaica offers a variety of premium features. Once the user selects the premium feature and pays for it, the feature is activated and Used Jamaica has fulfilled their contractual obligation for the premium feature. 

Eligibility, registration, and deletion of the account

Registration is free of charge. You must be over 18 to use Used Jamaica. If you are aged 14-17 you can use Used Jamaica providing you have approval from your parent or legal guardian.

Commercial use is forbidden unless individual approval by Used Jamaica has been granted.

Registering for a Used Jamaica account may be completed via e-mail. The specified profile data provided by the user must be correct. Multiple registrations and accounts are not permitted.

The user is responsible for taking the appropriate measures to keep their login credentials confidential. If a third party has accessed the user’s login details, then the user must change them.

By registering, the user agrees to receiving the Used Jamaica newsletter and will receive regular information from Used Jamaica. The user can unsubscribe at any time by disabling the subscription newsletter in their profile, or by clicking the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. 

Listings, images and copyright

Each post must be written and created by the user.

It is strictly prohibited to publish anything that:

  • is illegal, obscene, offensive or discriminatory
  • contains pornographic images or content
  • infringes personal rights
  • attacks the reputation of a person or a business
  • is seen as harassment through mass messages (spam), or any other kind 
  • Is designed to electronically hack Used Jamaica or spread a virus

Used Jamaica reserves the right to remove posts, disable or delete any user’s account.

When publishing classified ads, the user must ensure that the images do not break copyright law. Images must not contain watermarks or any other copyright marks. The user must own the images they are using or have the right to publish them from the copyright owner. Used Jamaica reserves the right to limit the maximum size of images and to modify or remove images.

No sale of living creatures

Used Jamaica respects the rights and dignity of living creatures. In most countries, the selling of living creatures is regulated by special laws. You may not offer, sell or exchange animals via Used Jamaica.

Granting of rights and liability for users

The user permits the Used Jamaica a world-wide, fully paid, non-exclusive and transferable licence to use, modify, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute the content created by the user for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, or in connection with Used Jamaica or any other product or service of Used Jamaica or the promotion thereof.

This includes full and restricted online and offline use of content. These rights remain indefinitely with Used Jamaica, even if the user is no longer registered with Used Jamaica.

Should Used Jamaica be held liable, due to a violation of the Terms or applicable law by the user, the user obliges himself to release Used Jamaica from any legal consequences (e.g. claims of third parties). The indemnity includes but is not limited to payable fines, damages, as well as all costs of legal defence and legal representation.

Transactions between Users

Other Used Jamaica users can view posts and submit offers to purchase. The seller can accept the offer or submit a counter offer. If the seller and potential buyer agree on a price (“purchase price”) and both parties confirm, a binding sales contract is entered. The buyer is obliged to pay the purchase price and pick up from the seller, if no other delivery is agreed upon. The seller is obliged to sell the classified ad as shown and described.

Offers can be cancelled by the seller or the buyer before the other party has confirmed.

The contract between the seller and buyer is exclusively between the users themselves and must be closed on the Used Jamaica platform. Used Jamaica does not offer or receive any offers or submit or receive bids and therefore is not a party in the sales contract. 

Used Jamaica is not obliged to verify the transmitted or stored information or to actively search for circumstances which may indicate illegal activity.

Should the Used Jamaica somehow become aware of a specific unlawful act of an individual user or receive information within the Used Jamaica services, the information will immediately be removed or the access to this content will be blocked.

Liability

Used Jamaica is liable only for the amount which corresponds with contract-typical foreseeable damages. There is no liability for loss of profits, savings, damage from claims of third parties, and for other direct and indirect consequential damage.

The foregoing limitations of liability include claims against employees or representatives of Used Jamaica as well as the licensors of Used Jamaica and their licensors or the licensees of Used Jamaica and their licensees. Used Jamaica Services might be subject to an underlying licensing agreement. The liability of the licensor is determined by the respective licensing agreement.
