We reserve the right at our discretion to refuse or delete content that we believe is inappropriate or breaching the above terms. We also reserve the right at our discretion to restrict a user's usage of Ferris either temporarily or permanently, or refuse a user's registration.

Abusing Ferris

Ferris and the Ferris community work together to keep Ferris working 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 Ferris 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 Ferris employees or other users). However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off Ferris or not, we do not have any obligation to monitor the information transmitted or stored on Ferris and we do not accept any liability for unauthorised or unlawful content on Ferris or use of Ferris by users.

Fees and Services

Using Ferris 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 Pounds Sterling, and we may change them from time to time. We'll notify you of changes to our fee policy by posting such changes on Ferris. 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 Ferris 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 postings may be deleted from Ferris in case we believe these Terms of Use, including our posting rules set in the FAQ’s, are breached, either directly or indirectly.

You may not have the opportunity to review all of the supplemental data before posting an item. Ferris 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 Ferris policies. If you notice inaccuracies in this data after your posting 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 Ferris 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 Ferris.

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 Ferris 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 Ferris, 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.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more Ferris 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 Ferris, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by Ferris as further described in our Privacy Policy.

You and Ferris 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 Ferris 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 Ferris 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, Ferris has access to various information about users, including personal data. This includes information that users submit to Ferris 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 ferrisapp.co 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).

Ferris only shares information about users with third parties if this is necessary for the provision of the services or if Ferris 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 Ferris 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 Ferris, including sharing such data with third parties and your rights as a data subject, please see our Privacy Policy.

Resolution of disputes

If a dispute arises between you and Ferris, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by going to the ‘Contact Us’ page on ferrisapp.co. 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 Ferris constitute the entire agreement between Ferris and you, superseding any prior agreements. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Ferris Applications Limited must be resolved by the courts of England and Wales. You and Ferris both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

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 Ferris Applications Limited, Kemp House, 160 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX. 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 Ferris website, whichever is sooner. No other amendment to this agreement will be effective unless made in writing, signed by users and by us.
