Abusing OPLA Services
Please use the flagging system to tell us about any problems or offensive content so that together we can keep the Services site working properly. We may limit or terminate our Services, remove hosted content and take technical and legal steps to keep users off OPLA if we think that they are creating problems or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off OPLA or not, we do not accept any liability for monitoring OPLA or for unauthorized or unlawful content on OPLA or use of OPLA by users.
Global Marketplace
Without limitation to the rights granted below (see Content), some of OPLA's features may display your ad on other sites that are part of the global eBay community, like on eBay or our classifieds sites in other countries. By using the Services, you agree that your ads can be displayed on these other sites. The terms for our other sites are similar to these terms, but you may be subject to additional laws or other restrictions in the countries where your ad is posted. When you choose to post your ad to another site, you may be responsible for ensuring that it does not violate our other site policies. We may remove your ad if it is flagged on any of our sites, or if we believe it causes problems or violates any law or policy.
Fees and Services
Using the Services is generally free. We may charge fees for certain Services. If the service you use charges a fee, you will be able to review and accept that charge. Our fees are quoted in Canadian Dollars, and we may change them from time to time. We will notify you of changes to our fee policy by posting such changes on the site. We may choose to temporarily change our fees for promotional events or new services; these changes are effective when we announce the promotional event or new service. Our fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for paying them when they're due. If you don't, we may limit your ability to use the Services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms.
Canadian taxes associated with our Services will be collected when applicable. You agree to provide accurate address information necessary for OPLA to comply with its obligations under applicable law. To the extent that such information is not provided, OPLA will in its discretion determine and collect appropriate taxes.
You are solely responsible to collect and remit any applicable taxes resulting from the sale of your items or services listed on OPLA. While many features of the Services are available across the OPLA websites and their associated mobile applications, some features and functionality may vary depending on which website and/or which mobile device you use to access the Services.
Content
The Services contains stuff from us, you, and other users (as well as from our third party service providers). You agree not to copy, modify, resell or distribute the Services, our copyrights or trademarks. When you give us content, you are granting us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights to that content. If you believe that your rights have been violated, please notify OPLA Customer Support and we will investigate the matter. We reserve the right to remove content where we have grounds for suspecting the violation of these terms or the rights of any other party.
Reporting Intellectual Property Infringements (Owners Rights Protection - ORP)
Do not post content that infringes the rights of third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, content that infringes on intellectual property rights such as copyright and trademark (e.g. offering counterfeit items for sale). Do not post content that contains any reference to or likeness of any identifiable third parties, unless consent has been obtained from each such individual as may be required. We reserve the right to remove content where we have grounds for suspecting the violation of these terms, our policies or of any party's rights. The following steps are for reporting a listing to OPLA that you believe to be infringing on your intellectual property rights. Only the intellectual property rights owner can report of potentially infringing items or listings through OPLA's ORP Program. If you have a good faith belief that a listing on any of the Services infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, all you need to do is send an email to us with the evidence of your claims attached, fill it out, and email it to OPLA at the email address provided on the form. After we receive your first NOCI, OPLA will confirm your enrolment in our program. We reserve the right to share, in accordance with applicable law, the completed NOCI form with the third party that originally posted the potentially infringing listing.
Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
The Services are provided as is and as available. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do. You also agree not to hold us responsible for the payment processing of other service providers (each a Third Party Payment Processor. For greater certainty, as applicable, if you link a Third Party Payment Processor account to your OPLA Account, you acknowledge and agree that by making payments through OPLA with that Third Party Payment Processor, you are bound by that Third Party Payment Processors applicable terms and conditions, and we are not liable for any loss, claims or damages howsoever arising in connection with that third partys services). As most of the stuff on the Services comes from other users, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, efficacy or timeliness of any postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what is offered. We also cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our Services. Notification functionality in our Services may not occur in real time. Such functionality is subject to delays beyond our control, including without limitation, delays or latency due to your physical location or your wireless data service providers network. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted we expressly disclaim all warranties, representations and conditions, express or implied, including those of quality, merchantability, merchantable quality, durability, fitness for a particular purpose and those arising by statute. We are not liable for any loss, whether of money (including profit), goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of OPLA, even if you advise us or we could reasonably foresee the possibility of any such damage occurring. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.
Despite the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or any third party (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability in tort, by statute or otherwise) is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you pay to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to liability, and (b) 100 Canadian Dollars.
Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless OPLA and its affiliates and our and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each an Indemnified Party), from any claim made by any third party, together with any amounts payable to the third party whether in settlement or as may otherwise be awarded, and reasonable legal costs incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties, arising from or relating to your use of the Services, any alleged violation by you of the applicable terms, and any alleged violation by you of any applicable law or regulation. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, but doing so will not excuse your indemnity obligations.
Personal Information
By using Services, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by OPLA Canada Ltd. (the "data controller") on servers located in the United States and in the European Union as further described in our privacy policy.
Reviews
You may be asked to leave a review when messaging with other users on OPLA. Reviews consist of a 1-5-star rating and selected reasons why youve chosen that review. Your submitted review, user name, profile photo (if available), and the category of the sellers listing will be made public. User reviews should be left in good faith, ensuring that both you and the other user are depicting your interaction fairly. When leaving a review on another users account, the review should:
-
Be truthful to what happened between you and the other user
-
Not be left in an attempt to harass or abuse another user
-
Not be in left in an attempt to manipulate or mislead other users
To ensure the integrity of the review system, users are not able to edit or remove reviews on their own profile or someone elses. OPLA will also not mediate review-related disputes. User reviews reflect the opinions of individual OPLA users and do not reflect the opinion of OPLA.
We reserve the right to remove reviews which violate our policies or guidelines. For more information please read our User Review policy.
General
These terms and the other policies posted on the Services constitute the entire agreement between us and you, superseding any prior agreements. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. We both submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario. This will not affect your statutory rights if you are a consumer and applicable consumer law requires application of another law for certain topics. If we don't enforce any particular provision, we are not waiving our right to do so later. If a court strikes down any of these terms, the remaining terms will survive. We may automatically assign this agreement in our sole discretion in accordance with the notice provision below (our assignment to an affiliate will not require notice). Except for notices relating to illegal or infringing content, your notices to us must be sent by registered mail to:
OPLA Canada Email
We will send notices to you via the email address you provide, or by registered mail. Notices sent by registered mail will be deemed received five days following the date of mailing. We may update this agreement at any time, with updates taking effect when you next use the site or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. No other amendment to this agreement will be effective unless made in writing, signed by users and by us. Send questions, comments or complaints to OPLA Customer Support.
