You are solely responsible for all information that you submit to Outback Marketplace and any consequences that may result from your post. We reserve the right at our discretion to refuse or delete content that we believe is inappropriate or breaches the above terms. We also reserve the right at our discretion to restrict a user’s use of Outback Marketplace either temporarily or permanently, or refuse a user’s registration. If we believe that you are breaching these Terms of Use in any way and/or behaving suspiciously on Outback Marketplace, we may, at our discretion, inform other Outback Marketplace users that have been in contact with you and recommend that they exercise caution.

Abusing Outback Marketplace

Outback Marketplace and the Outback Marketplace community work together to keep Outback Marketplace functioning properly and the community safe. Please report problems, offensive content and policy breaches to us using the reporting system.

Without limiting other remedies, we may issue warnings, limit or terminate our service, remove hosted content and take technical and legal steps to keep users off Outback Marketplace if we think that they are creating problems, infringing the rights of third parties or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies (including, without limitation, circumventing temporary or permanent suspensions or harassing the Outback Marketplace employees or other users). However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off Outback Marketplace or not, we do not have any obligation to monitor the information transmitted or stored on Outback Marketplace and we do not accept any liability for unauthorised or unlawful content on Outback Marketplace or use of Outback Marketplace by users.

Global Marketplace

Some of Outback Marketplace’s features may display your ad on other sites, services, applications or tools (together a “Platform”) that are part of the Outback Marketplace community, or on third-party Platforms, including social media channels. By using Outback Marketplace, you agree that your ads can be displayed on these other Platforms and media channels. You may be subject to additional laws or other restrictions in the countries where your ad is posted. When your ad is posted on another Platform, you may be responsible for ensuring that it does not violate such other Platform’s policies. We may remove your ad if it is reported on Outback Marketplace, or any third-party Platform, or if we believe it causes problems or violates any law or policy.

Fees and Services

Using Outback Marketplace is generally free, but we sometimes charge a fee for certain services. If the service you use incurs a fee, you’ll be able to review and accept terms that will be clearly disclosed at the time you post your ad. Our fees are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD), and we may change them from time to time. We’ll notify you of changes to our fee policy by posting such changes on Outback Marketplace. 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.

You are responsible for paying the Outback Marketplace fees when they’re due. If you don’t, without prejudice to any other right or remedy we may be entitled to under these Terms of Use or by law, 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.

You acknowledge that your ads may be deleted from Outback Marketplace in case we believe these Terms of Use, including our Posting Rules, are breached, either directly or indirectly. In case you would have paid a fee for the display of such ad, you may be entitled to a refund of such fee. However, we reserve the right not to refund Outback Marketplace users for any fees paid through use of Outback Marketplace in the following cases:

  • If you breach, in our opinion, these Terms of Use, which include, without limitation, the Policies;
  • If your ads went live with exposure on the Outback Marketplace sites, services, applications or tools, even for a limited time, and that they benefited from the service associated with the paid fee;
  • If your ads are placed in the Pets or Massage categories of Outback Marketplace;
  • If your ads are placed into "edit" mode and will go live to site once updated by you;
  • If you have removed your ads yourself;
  • If you post duplicate ads as defined in our rules regarding duplicate ads;
  • If we believe that your ads are in a significantly wrong category;
  • Please note that the above list is not exhaustive. See the Outback Marketplace Refunds Help Page for more details on the cases in which you may, or may not, be entitled to a refund of such fees.

In addition to the Outback Marketplace services, ancillary goods or services such as insurance or car finance may be advertised on Outback Marketplace. Although users may offer financial products on their ads, Outback Marketplace is in no way involved or liable for any loss related to such transactions.

Display and Placement of User Ads

We strive to create a community where users can find what they are looking for. Therefore, the appearance or placement of ads in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

  • users’ location and search query/category selected;
  • adverts’ category, content, location and date published; and
  • if the ad has a paid-for promotion (see our Payment & Promotions Help page for more information)

Content

Outback Marketplace contains content from us, you, and other users. Outback Marketplace is protected by copyright laws and international treaties. Content displayed on or via Outback Marketplace is protected as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to copyright laws and international conventions. You agree not to copy, distribute or modify content from Outback Marketplace without our express written consent. You may not disassemble or decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover any source code contained in Outback Marketplace. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to reproduce, copy, sell, resell, or exploit for any purposes any aspect of Outback Marketplace (other than your own content). When you provide us with content, you grant us and represent that you have the right to grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks, design, database and intellectual property rights to that content, in any media whether now known or to be discovered in the future including, without limitation, on any third-party Platforms and media channels. In particular, by providing us with content, you grant us the right to display such content on Platforms that are part of the Outback Marketplace corporate group, and on other online marketplaces, social media channels, blogs, in all types of marketing communications and on all other Platforms. In addition, you waive all moral rights you have in the content to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Outback Marketplace may from time to time use third-party data suppliers to supplement the information you have provided in an ad. This could include descriptions, product specifications and other content. You may use such information solely in connection with your Outback Marketplace ad while your ad is on Outback Marketplace. The information provided may be subject to copyright, trademark and/or other protections. You agree not to remove any such protected information and/or create any derivative works based on the content (other than by including them in your ads). This permission is subject to modification or revocation at any time at Outback Marketplace’s sole discretion.

You may not have the opportunity to review all of the supplemental data before posting an ad. Outback Marketplace is not responsible for the accuracy of any third-party supplied supplemental data. You continue to be responsible for ensuring that your ads are accurate, do not include misleading information and fully comply with these Terms of Use and all Outback Marketplace policies. If you notice inaccuracies in this data after your ad appears on the site, please get in touch with us.

Infringement

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, design and trademark (e.g. offering counterfeit items for sale). A large number of products of all sorts are offered on Outback Marketplace by private individuals. Entitled parties, in particular owners of copyright, trademark rights or other rights, can report any advertisement which may infringe on their rights, and submit a request for such advertisement to be removed. If a legal representative of the entitled party reports this to us in the correct manner, products infringing on the intellectual property rights will be removed by Outback Marketplace.

Reporting an infringement:

In order to participate in the Notice of Infringement Programme, you only need to complete a Notice of Infringement Form and email it to Outback Marketplace at outbackmarketplaceau@gmail.com. You can use this form, complete with your signature, to report advertisements which may infringe on your property rights. The information requested in the Notice of Infringement Form is for the purpose of ensuring that the parties reporting these objects are either the entitled party or their officially authorised representative. This information must also enable Outback Marketplace to identify the advertisement to be removed. Once we have received your correctly completed Notice of Infringement Form, you can simply send later reports to Outback Marketplace via the e-mail address provided.

Note: This form can only be used by the lawful owners of the relevant intellectual property rights. The Notice of Infringement is intended to enable rights owners to ensure that products offered by Outback Marketplace users do not infringe their copyright, trademark rights or other intellectual property rights. For all other questions, visitors and advertisers can get help using Outback Marketplace Help.

Financial Products

Outback Marketplace operates solely as an introducer for the financial products advertised on this website (which includes unsecured loans and insurance). We do not provide any advice or give any opinions on the merits of any of the financial products that we advertise and users are advised to conduct their own research and seek independent financial advice before applying for any of these financial products.

Liability

Nothing in these terms shall limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence of our agents or employees. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do.

We do not review users’ postings and are not involved in the actual transactions between users. As most of the content on Outback Marketplace comes from other users, we do not guarantee the accuracy of postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what’s offered.

In no event do we accept liability of any description for the posting of any unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene or indecent information, or material of any kind which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law.

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee continuous, error-free or secure access to our services or that defects in the service will be corrected. While we will use reasonable efforts to maintain an uninterrupted service, we cannot guarantee this and we do not give any promises or warranties (whether express or implied) about the operation and availability of our sites, services, applications or tools.

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, or inability to use Outback Marketplace, 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 paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to liability, and (b) 100 Pounds Sterling.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more Outback Marketplace users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

Third Party Rights

A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any Terms of Use but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party specified in this Agreement or which exists or is available apart from that Act.

Data Protection and Privacy

By using Outback Marketplace, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by Outback Marketplace on servers located in the Netherlands, United States and China as further described in our Privacy Notice.

You and Outback Marketplace shall process personal data received under and/or in connection with these Terms of Use each as a separate and independent controller. In no event will Outback Marketplace and you process personal data under and/or in connection with this User Agreement as joint controllers or in a controller-to-processor relationship. As such separate and independent controllers, you shall be individually and separately responsible for complying with the obligations that apply to you as a controller under applicable data protection law.

You shall comply with your obligations under applicable data protection law (including but not limited to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU General Data Protection Regulation “GDPR”)) and supplementing EU and local data protection law. This includes, but is not limited to the obligation to provide appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation. You shall process personal data received from Outback Marketplace exclusively for the purpose(s) you received the personal data under and/or in connection with these Terms of Use. You shall erase the personal data received under these Terms of Use immediately after the respective purpose(s) has/have been fulfilled. Any further processing of the personal data is not permitted except when legally required (e.g., if a retention obligation applies).

Failure to abide with the aforementioned obligations may result in disciplinary action up to and including account suspension.

As part of the services, Outback Marketplace has access to various information about users, including personal data. This includes information that users submit to Outback Marketplace as part of the services (such as contact information or item descriptions) as well as information that is generated by the provision and processing of the services (such as ratings, sales analysis or communication).

Via OutbackMarketplace.com and its related websites, services, applications or tools, you receive information which is necessary for the processing of transactions (in particular, the contact information of the other user involved in a transaction) as well as aggregated information on the performance and analysis of your ads, which are partly related to the data of other users of the services (such as number of impressions of an ad, conversion rate or return rate).

Outback Marketplace only shares information about users with third parties if this is necessary for the provision of the services or if Outback Marketplace is legally or contractually entitled to do so.

Upon expiry of these Terms of Use, we will delete the information you provided, or which was generated through your use of the services from your Outback Marketplace account. Regardless, we maintain this information after the expiry of these Terms of Use if we are legally obliged or have a legitimate interest to do so. We will generally maintain aggregated data generated using the services (e.g. statistics about ads in a category) upon expiry of these Terms of Use.

For information regarding the processing of personal data by Outback Marketplace, including sharing such data with third parties and your rights as a data subject, please see our Privacy Notice.

Resolution of disputes

If a dispute arises between you and Outback Marketplace, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by going to the Outback Marketplace Help page. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

General

These terms and the other policies posted on Outback Marketplace constitute the entire agreement between Outback Marketplace and you, superseding any prior agreements. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of Australia. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against OutbackMarketplace.com Limited must be resolved by the courts of Australia. You and Outback Marketplace both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts; for claims falling within the jurisdiction of a County Court, you and Outback Marketplace both agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the County Court of Wandsworth.

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.

Except for notices relating to illegal or infringing content, your notices to us must be sent by registered mail to OutbackMarketplace.com Limited. 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 post or 30 days after we post the updated policy on the Outback Marketplace website, whichever is sooner. No other amendment to this agreement will be effective unless made in writing, signed by users and by us.

For any help with using Outback Marketplace please see the Outback Marketplace Help page.

Mobile Devices Terms

If you’re accessing Outback Marketplace Services from a mobile device using an Outback Marketplace Mobile Application (the Application), the following terms and conditions (Terms of Use) apply to you in addition to the applicable Mobile Privacy and Legal Notice or End User License Agreement, as the case may be. Your use of the Application confirms your agreement to these Terms of Use.

Application Use. Outback Marketplace grants you the right to use the Application only for your personal use. You must comply with all applicable laws and third party terms of agreement when using the Application (e.g. your wireless data service agreement). The Application may not contain the same functionality available on the www.OutbackMarketplace.com website. Your download and use of the Application is at your own discretion and risk, and you are solely responsible for any damages to your hardware device(s) or loss of data that results from the download or use of the Application.

Intellectual Property - Applications. Outback Marketplace owns, or is the licensee to, all right, title, and interest in and to its Applications, including all rights under patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, and any and all other proprietary rights, including all applications, renewals, extensions, and restorations thereof. You will not modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any Application and you will not remove, obscure, or alter Outback Marketplace’s copyright notice, trademarks or other proprietary rights notices affixed to, contained within, or accessed in conjunction with or by any Outback Marketplace Application.

Additional Terms. Additional terms and conditions that apply to you based on the mobile device the Application is installed on:

iOS - Apple

  • These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Outback Marketplace, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Application and the content thereof.
  • Outback Marketplace grants you the right to use the Application only on an iOS product that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.
  • Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Application.

  • In the event of any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if applicable, for the Application to you; and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application.

Windows - Microsoft

  • These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Outback Marketplace, not Microsoft. The terms of use and privacy policies of Microsoft and, where applicable, the network operators that provide billing services for the Windows Phone Marketplace do not apply to your use of the Application.
  • You may install and use one (1) copy of the Application on up to five (5) devices you personally own or control and which are affiliated with the Windows Live ID associated with your Windows Marketplace account. You may not install or use a copy of the Application on a device you do not own or control.

  • Microsoft, the wireless carriers over whose network the Application is distributed (if applicable), and each of their respective affiliates and suppliers (collectively, Disclaiming Distributors) give no express warranty, guarantee, or conditions under or in relation to the Application. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the Disclaiming Distributors exclude any implied warranties or conditions, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
  • You, and not the Disclaiming Distributors, bear the risk of using the Application (even if the Disclaiming Distributors have been advised of the possibility of damages to you). You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which these Terms of Use cannot change.
  • To the extent not prohibited by law, you will not seek to recover any consequential, lost profit, special, indirect, or incidental damages from any Disclaiming Distributor.
