B-Stock does not sell Inventory, and is not a party to any purchase and sale transaction, but merely provides the platform through which a purchase and sale may be transacted between a Buyer and Seller. B-Stock does not inspect, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, any Inventory. Further, B-Stock does not recommend or endorse any Seller or Buyer, and makes no representations or warranties regarding any Seller or Buyer. You should exercise caution and use your independent judgment before bidding upon or purchasing Inventory.
