Audiogon is only a Venue
Our web site acts as a venue to allow eligible members to offer, sell, and buy
audio related products via "online auctions" or
"classifieds." We are not involved in the actual transaction between
buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety
or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings,
the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We
cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Information control
We do not control the information made available by our users
that is posted online or otherwise made available through our system.
There may be risks involved when relying on the information posted, or
transacting with users based upon such information. Any personal
information you submit to Audiogon will be subject to our Privacy
Policy.
User Identity confirmation
Audiogon may use techniques to attempt to identify our users
when they register to use our site. However, due to the difficulty of

confirmed each user's identity as submitted. Members may voluntarily
submit a credit card and billing address for confirmation, as detailed in our Verification
process.
Member Disputes
In case of a dispute with another user, you may participate voluntarily in our
online resolution process if, at the sole discretion of Audiogon, a dispute is
found to be appropriate for our online Dispute

consideration of any disputes filed, or to terminate accounts in case of
unreasonable refusal to respond to a dispute.

In the event of a dispute with one or more users, you release
Audiogon, it's officers, employees, agents and suppliers, from all claims,
demands, actual or consequential damages of any nature, known and unknown,

disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil
Code 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims
with the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor".
