User Agreement.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH METALBUILDING.COM OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES.

1. Membership Eligibility. Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services. Further, our services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended METALBUILDNG.COM members.

2. Fees and Services. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service and our website and all applicable taxes. Refunds are not available for Metworker Pro accounts after a user has logged into the system.

METALBUILDING.COM is only a venue.

3. Overview. Our site acts as the venue for buyers to request quotations and sellers to submit bids. 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 solicitations, 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.

4. Safe Trading. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, METALBUILDING.COM cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners. We also encourage all buyers and sellers to obtain legal counsel prior to entering into any construction contract.

5. Release. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release METALBUILDING.COM and Winter Park Studios, Inc. (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

6. Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users which is made available through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretense.

7. Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, METALBUILDING.COM may suspend or terminate your account if you are found (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) to have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site.

8. Your Information. "Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to us or other users in the registration, bidding or listing process, in any public message area or through any email feature.

Furthermore, you may not solicit bids for any item on our site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our service) that could cause us to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation. Solely to enable METALBUILDING.COM to use the information you supply us with, so that we are not violating any rights you might have in that information, you agree to grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright and publicity rights (but no other rights) you have in Your Information, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to Your Information.
