Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: October 15, 2025

Welcome to SBS. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our marketplace platform. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you are not permitted to use our services.

1. Definitions

2. Account Registration and Obligations

  1. Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding contract to use our Platform.
  2. Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
  3. Accurate Information: You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form.

3. The SBS Marketplace

SBS provides a platform for Buyers and Sellers to transact. We are not a party to the transaction between Buyer and Seller. We do not take possession of any items and do not act as a traditional auctioneer or seller.

3.1. Listing and Selling

  1. Prohibited Items: You may not list items that are illegal, counterfeit, stolen, or otherwise violate our Prohibited Items Policy. This includes, but is not limited to, weapons, hazardous materials, and adult content. We reserve the right to remove any listing for any reason.
  2. Listing Accuracy: As a Seller, you are responsible for the accuracy and content of your listing. All claims about an item's authenticity, condition, and brand must be truthful. Misrepresentation may result in account suspension.
  3. Use of AI Parser: The AI Parser is a tool to assist in creating listings. You, the Seller, are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of the AI-generated output before publishing your listing. Any errors, including but not limited to price, brand, or size, are your responsibility. Relying solely on the AI Parser without verification is at your own risk.

3.2. Purchasing

  1. Binding Offer: When you commit to purchase an item, you are entering into a legally binding contract with the Seller.
  2. Inspections and Authenticity: While we provide tools and a platform, we do not inspect or authenticate items. Buyers are responsible for their own due diligence. We encourage asking Sellers questions and requesting additional photos.

4. Fees and Payments

  1. Fees: We charge fees for using our Platform, such as a commission on sales. All applicable fees are disclosed to you before you list an item. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time.
  2. Payment Processing: Payments are processed through our third-party payment provider (e.g., Stripe). By transacting on the Platform, you agree to their terms of service.
  3. Taxes: You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your use of the Platform.

Chargebacks and Disputes: Initiating a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue with the Seller and SBS is a violation of these Terms. Fraudulent chargebacks will result in permanent account termination and may be reported to law enforcement.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC) and AI Parser

  1. License Grant: By submitting UGC to the Platform, you grant SBS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the UGC in connection with the Platform and our business. This includes using your UGC to train and improve our AI models.
  2. Responsibility for UGC: You are solely responsible for your UGC and the consequences of posting it. You represent that you have all necessary rights to grant us this license.
  3. AI Parser Acknowledgment: You acknowledge that the AI Parser is an automated system and may produce inaccuracies. SBS is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on the AI Parser. The final responsibility for a listing's accuracy rests with the Seller.

9. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Dublin, Ireland, in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration body.
