• Accurately provide and maintain Buyer’s personal information on the Site during and after registration, verification, and payment;

In the event that any Communication requires action from the Buyer, the Buyer will take that action within the timeframe specified in the Communication. If a Communication requires the Buyer to accept or dispute a claim from the Seller, and the Buyer does not take a required action within the timeframe specified in the Communication, the Buyer authorizes PlayerAuctions to assume the Buyer’s acceptance of the Seller’s claim.
• Take full responsibility for ensuring that Communications from PlayerAuctions may be successfully delivered, read, and acted upon, and will not be interrupted by spam filters or other systems.

• Reserve the right to prosecute the Buyer or Seller to the fullest extent of the law in the event of any fraudulent activity.

In the exceptional event that the Buyer and Seller do not agree on the delivery completion state of an Order, the Buyer or Seller must file a dispute within 72 hours of the other party’s claim. Disputes must be properly filed and escalated using the PlayerAuctions Dispute Resolution System. Disputes reported in any other manner will not be accepted by PlayerAuctions and will be deemed invalid.

These exceptional circumstances are often due to an accident or simple misunderstanding. For this reason, PlayerAuctions highly recommends the Buyer and Seller to directly contact each other to properly resolve the issue through the PlayerAuctions Dispute Resolution System.

In the event that the Buyer and Seller are unable to reach an agreement on their own, or if PlayerAuctions suspects that fraudulent activity may be involved, the Order will be escalated to the PlayerAuctions Final Resolution Committee (“the Committee”). If an Order is escalated to the Committee, the Buyer and Seller authorize the Committee to act as the final arbitrator in determining the delivery completion state of the Order, and therefore determine the appropriate amounts to refund the Buyer and/or disburse to the Seller. Any decision made regarding the delivery completion state of an Order by the Committee is final, binding upon both the Buyer and the Seller, and may not be appealed.

In the event that an Order is escalated to the PlayerAuctions Final Resolution Committee, the Buyer shall:

• Fully cooperate with PlayerAuctions and the Committee as required to resolve the dispute.

In the event that an Order is escalated to the PlayerAuctions Final Resolution Committee, the Buyer shall not:

• Attempt to arbitrate or dispute the Buyer’s payment with any party other than PlayerAuctions and the Committee.

In the event that an Order is escalated to the PlayerAuctions Final Resolution Committee, PlayerAuctions shall:

• Impartially arbitrate any disputes between the Buyer and Seller to the fullest extent possible;
• Continue to hold the Buyer’s payment until the completion state of the Order has been determined by PlayerAuctions;
• Continue to protect the Seller from payment fraud;
• Meticulously inspect the Seller’s Delivery Evidence and verify to the fullest extent possible that the Seller has abided by the Secure Seller Delivery Agreement;
• Verify to the fullest extent possible that the Buyer has abided by the Secure Buyer Delivery Agreement;
• Review the trading history of the Buyer and Seller;
• Rigorously verify the Buyer and Seller involved in the transaction, as well as a review of the Offer and Order;
• Review any communications sent between the Buyer and Seller through the PlayerAuctions Onsite Messaging System that are related to the Order;
• Reserve the right to perform any additional assessment or investigatory step required in the final resolution of a dispute.

In conclusion to the absolute judgment made by the PlayerAuctions Final Resolution Committee, PlayerAuctions shall:

• Appropriately refund the Buyer, in accordance with the Committee’s judgment;
• Appropriately disburse payment to the Seller, minus PlayerAuctions fees, in accordance with the Committee’s judgment;
