As a user of Yipeyay.com (the "Site"), I agree to all of the following terms and conditions ("Terms"): 1. AGREEMENT I
read, I understand, I agree with and accept all the terms and
conditions contained in this User Agreement before I become a member of
Yipeyay. I will also access and read the information contained in the
other pages and websites referred to in this document because they may
contain further terms and conditions which apply to me as a member of
Yipeyay. (Underlined words and phrases are click-through links to pages
and websites, which are provided for my convenience. Yipeyay.Com is not
responsible for the content of other websites.) 2. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT From
time to time, Yipeyay may need to change these terms to reflect changes
in their business and for other reasons due to law requirements,
security concerns or technical issues. Yipeyay notifies me and other
users that a change has occurred by placing a notice in their homepage.
Changes to this agreement and associated documents will be posted in
the Site. If I do not agree with the changes, I must terminate my
membership of Yipeyay. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended
except in writing signed by me and Yipeyay. This agreement is effective
from my registration date or from the 4th of December 2006, whichever
is earlier. 3. MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY The
services of Yipeyay are available only to, and may only be used by,
individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable
law. Without limiting the foregoing, Yipeyay's services are not
available to persons under 18 years of age or to temporarily or
indefinitely suspended Yipeyay members. If I do not qualify, I will not
use their services. Further, my Yipeyay account and my Username may not
be transferred or sold to another party. 4. FEES AND SERVICES Currently, Yipeyay services are free. For future reference, any fees Yipeyay charges for their services are listed at http://www.yipeyay.com/au/index.php?a=22&b=7
and is incorporated into this User Agreement by reference. Yipeyay may
change their Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for their services
from time to time. Changes to the policy are effective after Yipeyay
provides me with at least fourteen (14) days' notice of the changes by
posting the changes on their Site. In the event they introduce a new
service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the
service. 5. THE ROLE OF YIPEYAY 5.1
The Yipeyay Site acts as a venue to allow members to offer, sell, and
buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere. Yipeyay is not
involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a
result, Yipeyay has no control over the quality, safety or legality of
the items or content posted by users on the Site, the truth or accuracy
of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of
buyers to buy items. Yipeyay cannot ensure and do not guarantee that a
buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or act lawfully in
using the Site. 5.2 Safe
Trading: Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult,
Yipeyay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. I
understand that I am encouraged to communicate directly with potential
trading partners through the tools available on the Site. I may also
wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that
provide additional user verification. 5.3
Release: Because Yipeyay are not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers, in the event that I have a dispute with one
or more users, I release Yipeyay (and their officers, directors,
agents, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims,
demands and damages (actual, special, direct, indirect 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. 5.4
Information Control: Yipeyay communicates and notifies me about my
transactions and my account on their Site. These communications do not
represent any endorsement, guarantee or legitimisation of my
transactions. I am responsible for completing all transactions I
participate in, including monitoring the status and complying with all
relevant legal obligations. Yipeyay does not control, endorse or
approve the items, information or content provided by other users which
is made available through their systems. I may find other users'
information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. I will
use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the
Site. Furthermore, I understand that there are risks of dealing with
underage persons or people acting under false pretense. There may also
be risks with international trading and dealing with foreign nationals. 6. BUYING If I choose to buy items advertised in Yipeyay, I am certifying that I have the legal right to purchase such items. 7. LISTING AND SELLING 7.1
Listing Description: I am legally able to sell the item(s) I list for
sale on the Site. I must describe my item and all terms of sale on the
listing page of the Site. My listings may only include text
descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale
of that particular item. All listed items must be listed in the most
appropriate category. 7.2
Fraud: Without limiting any other remedies available to Yipeyay at law,
in equity or under this Agreement, Yipeyay may, in its sole discretion,
suspend or terminate my account if they suspect that I have engaged in
malicious or fraudulent activity in connection with the Site. 7.3
Intellectual Property: I must only list items which do not infringe
upon the copyright, trademark or other rights of third parties. 7.5
Manipulation: Neither me, nor any other buyers or sellers may
manipulate the price of any item, nor may I interfere with other users'
items listed for sale. 8. MY INFORMATION 8.1
Definition: "My Information" is defined as any information I provide to
Yipeyay or other users in the registration, buying or listing process,
in any public message area or through any email feature. My Information
includes the descriptions of items I list for sale or display on the
Site as well as any content I post on other web pages within the Site.
I am solely responsible for My Information, and Yipeyay merely acts as
a passive conduit for my online distribution and publication of My
Information. 8.2 Restrictions: My Information (including but not limited to any items listed) must not: a. be false, inaccurate or misleading; b. be fraudulent or involve the sale of counterfeit or stolen items;
c. infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade
secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy;

f. be obscene or contain child pornography or, if otherwise adult in
nature or harmful to persons under the age of 18 years, shall be
distributed only to people legally permitted to receive such content.

g. contain any content that may be considered to be prohibited or
potentially prohibited content for the purposes of the Broadcasting
Services Act 1992 (Cth) (for more information about this legislation,
please refer to the Internet Industry Association's Codes of Practice located at http://www.iia.net.au and http://www.aba.gov.au); or
h. contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots,

modify, delete, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously
intercept, access without authority or expropriate any system, data or
personal information; i. create liability for Yipeyay or cause them to lose (in whole or in part) the services of their ISPs or other suppliers; and j. link directly or indirectly to or include descriptions of goods or services that i. are prohibited under this Agreement; ii. are identical to other items I have up for sale but are priced differently; iii.

another web site); or iv. I do not have a right to link to or include.
Furthermore,
I may not list any item on the Site (or complete any transaction that
was initiated using the Site) that, by paying to Yipeyay the listing
fee or any other fee, could cause Yipeyay to violate any applicable
law, statute, ordinance or regulation, or that violates their current
Prohibited & Restricted Items List (located at http://www.yipeyay.com/au/index.php?a=22&b=26).
8.3
License: I allow Yipeyay to use the information I supply them so that
they are not violating any rights I might have in that information. I
agree to grant Yipeyay a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual,
irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right
to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights (but no other
rights) I have in My Information, in any media now known or not
currently known, with respect to My Information. Yipeyay will only use
My Information in accordance with the Yipeyay Privacy Policy (at http://www.yipeyay.com/au/index.php?a=22&b=13 ). 9. ACCESS AND INTERFERENCE I
will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual
process to monitor or copy the web pages of the Site or the content
contained herein without prior expressed written permission from
Yipeyay. I agree that I will not use any device, software or routine to
bypass the Site's robot exclusion headers, or to interfere or attempt
to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any transaction
being conducted through the Site. I agree that I will not take any
action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on
the infrastructure of the Site. Much of the information on the Site is
updated on a real time basis and is proprietary or is licensed to
Yipeyay by users of their services or third parties. I agree that I
will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or
publicly display any content (except for My Information) from the Site
without the prior express written permission of Yipeyay or the
appropriate third party authorised to grant such permission. 10. BREACH Without
limiting other remedies available to Yipeyay at law, in equity or under
this Agreement, they may, in their sole discretion, immediately issue a
warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate my
membership and refuse to provide their services to me if: a. I breach this Agreement, the Privacy Policy or the terms and policies those documents incorporate by reference; b. Yipeyay is unable to verify or authenticate any information I provide Yipeyay; or c. Yipeyay believes that my actions may cause legal liability for me, their users or Yipeyay.
