Our Service
Our website facilitates an exciting and convenient way to buy over the Internet and is operated by www.antiques.co.uk Limited ("the Company").

Our role
Our website is a place for sellers to offer goods for sale and for customers to make offer to buy them. We do not have and never intend to have any contractual involvement in your transactions and at no stage auction, buy or sell or purport to auction, buy or sell any of the products displayed on our website. Any disputes between buyers and sellers are just that - we will not become involved. You must therefore take the utmost care to screen the parties with whom you deal. We will not screen the parties or goods on your behalf and this is a feature of the relationship between you and us that you willingly accept.

In relation to all goods you sell or offer for sale through the Services:

12.1.1
you must be the absolute unencumbered legal owner with the right to sell those goods; and

12.1.2
your sale or the use of the goods must not infringe any third party rights or be unlawful in any way and the goods must not be on our current Prohibited Items List.

12.4.1
it is sold; or

12.4.2
the seller-specified listed time expires; or

we receive written notice via email from you that you wish to de-list it.
