If a GTGI Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for that Product, whether or not the order has been confirmed and even if your credit or debt card account has been charged (in which event we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge).

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY AND ALL GTGI PRODUCTS. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY MADE IN WRITING, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY AND EVERY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL GTGI PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Our creation or transmission of an order confirmation does not signify final acceptance of your order, nor constitute a binding confirmation of an offer to sell any Product and we reserve the right to accept or decline your order for any reason up until the time the Product is actually delivered to you. We reserve the right at any time, without prior notice, to limit or reduce the quantity you ordered of any Product and we will notify you if we do so.   Products on the Service are offered for sale only to end user customers or as personal gifts to end user customers and not for commercial resale.

Our Classifieds service allows users (“Buyers”) to browse the Classifieds submitted by Sellers and to contact each Sellers about purchasing items advertised for sale.  We have no responsibility or liability whatsoever to either Buyers or Sellers for such transactions. 

We may charge Sellers a fee to post listings with special features (“Premium Listings”).   All fees paid will be non-refundable in the event that a Classified is removed from the Service for violating this policy.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that GTGI merely provides a forum where anyone can offer, sell or buy certain items, on terms of sale determined solely by the buyer and seller.  Unlike an auctioneer web site, GTGI is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, and ultimately has no control over the quality, safety or legality of advertised items, nor any matters relating to the completion of transactions.  Therefore, GTGI shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such Classifieds on the Service.
