Creation of a User Account or purchase of Paid Services (as defined in Section 6 below), can be done either directly on the BidCity.org Website or through an unrelated third-party authorized to sell BidCity.org subscriptions to User Accounts and other Paid Services (a “Reseller”) under a separate agreement with BidCity.org (a “Reseller Agreement”) If you register to BidCity.org Services or purchase Paid Services via a Reseller (referred to herein as a “Reseller User”) please note the following: These Terms of Use are applicable in addition to any arrangement by and between you and the Reseller, and they govern your use of the BidCity.org Services.

Certain services, applications, and features of the BidCity.org Services may not be available to you or may only be available to you through the Reseller platform.
1.4. Access to Accounts; Roles and Permissions You may invite others to your User Account and your User Platforms and assign them certain roles and permissions to perform certain activities within your User Account and User Platforms. A person granted permission to perform activities on a User Account that such person does not own is referred to herein as a “Contributor”. If anyone other than yourself (including Contributors) accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Platforms’ settings, they may also (and if done by a Contributors, depending on the roles and permissions you assign them), perform actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the BidCity.org Services), make changes to your User Platform(s) and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name as the owner of the User Account, whether or not specifically authorized by you. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to (i) keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and (ii) allow access to your User Account, only to people you trust - as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Platforms (including for any representations, warranties, and undertakings made therein and including by any Contributor), and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities. You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using BidCity.org Services. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s, as applicable) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us. If you are a Contributor, you are required to register and create a User Account of your own in order to access the User Account under which you are a Contributor. Therefore, these Terms of Use apply to Contributors as well. If you are a Reseller User, then depending on the agreement between you and the Reseller, such Reseller may be the owner of the User Platform, and you may be invited by the Reseller as a Contributor to such User Platform. If you are invited as a Contributor to a User Platform or if you are a Reseller User, you acknowledge that the owner of such User Platform and /or the Reseller (ii) shall have full access to any information (including personal information) that is stored by you or on your behalf on such User Platform; and (ii) shall have all the rights and functionalities awarded to a User Account owner, in connection with such User Platform.
1.5. Account Ownership For each User Platform, BidCity.org will consider the owner of such User Platform to be the person or entity whose email address is listed in Bid City’s records as the owner of the User Account under which the User Platform was created. In case of a dispute on User Account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such a determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a User Account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without BidCity.org having any liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g., government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. If you created your User Account directly on the BidCity.org Website (and not via a Reseller), we may consider the principles set forth below to determine ownership. If you are invited as a Contributor to a User Platform or if you are a Reseller User, you acknowledge that the owner of such User Platform and /or the Reseller (ii) shall have full access to any information (including personal information) that is stored by you or on your behalf on such User Platform; and (ii) shall have all the rights and functionalities awarded to a User Account owner, in connection with such User Platform. BidCity.org will consider the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address (listed in Bid City’s records for a User Account under which such User Platform or User Content was created) as the owner of a User Account, User Platform, and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant BidCity.org Service. If any Paid Services were purchased via a User Account, BidCity.org may consider the owner of such User Account and/or the relevant User Platform and/or User Content created thereunder, as the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services (“Billing Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, when applicable, if a User Platform was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services, as defined below), and such domain’s registration information is publicly available via the ICANN LOOKUP database provided on the https://lookup.icann.org/ent website or on Bid City’s database, BidCity.org may consider the owner of such User Platform as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain thereunder. If an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such a domain, BidCity.org will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain. In the event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Platform and the domain registration indicates a different owner, BidCity.org shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the BidCity.org Account as the owner of the User Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BidCity.org shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in the event BidCity.org deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by the sole discretion of BidCity.org. If you are a Reseller User, the ownership of the respective User Account may be determined by BidCity.org pursuant to the terms of the Reseller Agreement.

Accordingly, where applicable and as for Fees paid directly to BidCity.org, BidCity.org will attempt to automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the Stored Card, within up to two (2) weeks before such renewal period commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect them later, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice. If your Renewing Paid Service is subject to a yearly or multiple year subscription period, BidCity.org will endeavor to provide you with notice prior to the renewal of such Paid Service at least thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date. By entering these Terms of Use and by purchasing a Renewing Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Renewing Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms. You (or the Reseller from which you purchase the Paid Services) may turn off the auto-renewal option for Renewing Paid Services at any time via your User Account or by visiting BidCity.org Help Center. Certain domains are subject to a different renewal policy as detailed at Web.com Reseller Domain Name Registration Agreement and Tucows Reseller Domain Name Registration Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you are, and shall be, solely responsible to verify and ensure the successful renewal of the BidCity.org Services you use (whether such BidCity.org Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any BidCity.org Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any BidCity.org Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against BidCity.org in relation to the discontinuation of any BidCity.org Services or Third Party Services, for whatever reason.
6.4. Money-Back Guarantee If you are a Reseller User, and you pay the Reseller and not directly to BidCity.org, Section 6.4 does not apply to you. If you are not happy with your initial purchase of a Premium Plan, you may provide notice of cancellation for any reason within fourteen (14) days of having first ordered or activated such Premium Plan (the “Refund” and “Refund Period”). The Refund is applicable only to the initial purchase of a Premium Plan which is an upgrade of a free website. The Refund is not applicable to any additional purchases, upgrades, modifications or renewals of BidCity.org Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction that requires a longer Refund Period, we will accommodate such requirements in accordance with all applicable laws. If BidCity.org receives such notice within the Refund Period, BidCity.org will refund to you the amount BidCity.org charged you for such BidCity.org Services, in the currency you were originally charged in, and cancel the services accordingly. Please note that the Refund amount may be different than the amount you were charged due to currency changes and third-party fees. BidCity.org will not be responsible for any differences caused by a change in currency exchange rates or fees you were charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you will be non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given by a User in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services received, we reserve our right to still charge the User for any BidCity.org Services received, as permitted by the applicable law. Please note: Certain services purchased on or through BidCity.org Services may be non-refundable altogether. These include Third Party Services such as domains, business tools and applications. The terms of each purchased service or application are indicated on the BidCity.org Website and/or as part of or during the process of purchasing such services or applications. It is your responsibility to verify the ability to cancel a service prior to its purchase. BidCity.org will not refund any amounts paid for non refundable Paid Services, applications or Third-Party Services.
6.5. Chargebacks If at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees due directly to BidCity.org, on your BidCity.org account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the BidCity.org Services may be automatically disabled or terminated. In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications and Third-Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 7.3 below). Your use of the BidCity.org Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such BidCity.org Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by BidCity.org and/or any Third-Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for BidCity.org Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor). If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made by you to BidCity.org, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the BidCity.org Services from being canceled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the BidCity.org Services purchased (and charged-back) by you. We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and received or made use of the services rendered thereafter.
