Such individual terms and conditions are between you and the Seller. Please keep in mind that if you are a Non-Trade Buyer you may have statutory consumer law rights and protections, if you are buying from a Trade Seller. Those rights and protections may go beyond or be contrary to the individual terms and conditions set forth by the Trade Seller and you should always investigate to understand what statutory rights and protections apply to you in your country of residence. We are not a party to those individual terms and conditions, and such individual terms and conditions do not nullify, modify or amend these Terms.

If an order is cancelled after payment, you will be entitled to as well as any applicable statutory laws that may apply to the transaction, refund from the Seller.

Exchange Rates:
1. If you are a Seller and have a store on the Site, pricing of your items will be set up with exchange rates. Exchange rates for currency conversion are provided by Bloomberg Currency Data. Use of that website constitutes acceptance of the Bloomberg Currency Data Terms of Use.
2. For Buyers: If you are a Buyer, please note that as a result of the exchange rate conversion, the actual price may vary from the price shown in the store.
3. For Sellers:
  1. If you are a Seller, then in your Seller terms and conditions, you can mention currency conversion and that your prices are converted using Bloomberg Currency Data rates but only if it's consistent with how the currency conversion is actually done - the system automatically converts prices using exchange rates from Bloomberg Currency Data and order totals are converted using the latest exchange rate in the system as of the time the order is submitted. You don't need to mention currency conversion at all since the system automatically puts an explanation of how currency conversion is done on your store terms page.
  2. Using other exchange rates is prohibited. Currency conversion is done the same way using the same exchange rates in all stores.
  3. Hard-coding an exchange rate in your Seller store terms, splash page, store banner or anywhere else in your store is prohibited. Since exchange rates are updated once per day, the hard-coded exchange rate would not correspond to the actual rate that is being used at any given moment. You can instead instruct your Buyers to check the Bloomberg Currency Data website to see what the current rates are.
  4. The Site uses current exchange rates from Bloomberg Currency Data to convert prices between the below currencies. Exchange rates on the Site are downloaded from Bloomberg Currency Data once per day. Exchange rates provided by Bloomberg Currency Data contain the rates and inverted rates for the US Dollar as the base currency (ex. 1 USD = ? EUR and 1 EUR = ? USD). Rates which do not include the US Dollar (ex. 1 EUR = ? GBP) are calculated using a cross rate (ex. USD to GBP rate divided by USD to EUR rate). Rates contain up to 10 decimals. The exchange rates on the Bloomberg Currency Data website are updated more frequently and thus the exchange rate on the Bloomberg Currency Data website may not match the exchange rate currently in effect on the Site. If the system fails to download the most recent exchange rate, the most recent exchange rate in the system is used.
  5. As required by the Bloomberg Currency Data Terms of Use, the actual exchange rate that is used to convert prices cannot be displayed anywhere on this Site, including without limitation in your store. For current rates, please visit Bloomberg Currency Data.
  6. Prices and order grand totals are converted in all stores the same way using the same exchange rates.
  7. If more currencies are added to the system, you automatically accept that prices in those currencies be converted using these exchange rates. If BrickLink abandons the multi-currency system on the Site and moves back to all prices in US Dollars, prices in currencies other than the US Dollar will be converted to the US Dollar using the most recent exchange rate in the system.

1. All Items which are listed for sale on the Site must be sold through the Seller's store by a Buyer submitting an order.

2. You agree that you will not:

    - Using user contact information obtained from BrickLink or the Site or using any feature of the Site to offer to sell items outside of the Site.
    - Using the BrickLink messaging systems to conduct business either offering items for sale or requesting items to be sold that would circumvent Buyers from buying those items via submitting an order in the applicable Seller's store on the Site.
    - Using our Discussion Forum to conduct business by offering items for sale not listed in the Seller's store on the Site or to inquire about items for sale and offering contact information.
    - After an order is submitted, as a Seller offering to sell additional items to the Buyer in a manner that would circumvent the BrickLink ordering process.
    - Seller cancelling a successful order with the intent of receiving a fee refund from BrickLink for that order.

    If you experience any user attempting to avoid fees, you may submit a Problem Member Report.
  5. Linking: Link to pages outside of the Site. Users must not link from their Splash Page, Terms & Conditions, Shipping Policy, About Me page or from their listings of items for sale, to another site.

  8. Feedback Extortion: As a Buyer, demand additional goods, services or refunds over and above what was agreed in the original transaction with the threat of negative Feedback if the Seller does not comply with such demand. Sellers are not allowed to require Buyers to leave positive Feedback or revise existing Feedback in exchange for shipping items, completing refund requests or providing monetary compensation. Sellers are, however, allowed to ask the Buyer to leave positive Feedback at the end of a successful transaction. Please note that we can't accept reports of Feedback extortion received through email outside of the Site because these can be easily falsified. In order to protect yourself, we recommend you always use the BrickLink messaging system to communicate with your Buyer or Seller. If you have experienced feedback extortion, please contact Customer Support.
  9. Sale of Plagiarized Designs: Offer to sell, sell or provide MOC designs that violate others’ intellectual property rights, publicity or privacy rights as it is expressly forbidden by these Terms.

    A report form can be filled in and submitted via the eSafety Commissioner website.
4. Procedures When content or a User is flagged as potentially being in breach of our Terms of Service or Rules of Conduct, our moderation team will review the content or activity in question to evaluate whether a breach has occurred.
  1. We may impose the following sanctions for breaches of our Terms or Code of Conduct:
    1. Content removal: Posts containing illegal content, product listings for dangerous products, or content which we consider to be misleading or fraudulent will be removed as soon as they are found. Content which we have been informed infringes another’s intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights will also be removed. Other content may be removed for breach of our Rules of Conduct after review on a case-by-case basis.
    2. Content editing (for example, to delete an image or specific text): If only a portion of a submission is illegal or inappropriate or in breach of our Rules of Conduct, we may edit that content to remove the offending material.
    3. Temporary limiting of certain privileges: Depending on the nature of the violation of our Terms, we may impose a variety of restrictions such as revoking buying or selling privileges, restricting user access to post in the Forum, limiting Sellers to onsite payment methods only, or unverifying users, among other restrictions (depending on the circumstances).
    4. Temporary suspension of access privileges: User accounts may be suspended for repeated violations of our Rules of Conduct, for example, for repeated incidents of harassing or bullying behaviors. We may also suspend the accounts of Users who leak confidential information or who post misleading or fraudulent information, as well as Users who make repeated unfounded complaints about other Users or who abuse our reporting system
    5. Permanent blocking of access privileges: User accounts used to post certain illegal content (such as child sex abuse material) will be terminated and reported to the relevant authorities. We also reserve the right to terminate the accounts of Users who repeatedly or seriously violate our Rules of Conduct, or who persistently make repeated unfounded complaints about other Users, abuse our reporting system, or attempt to circumvent sanctions for prior bad behavior.
  2. Before imposing any of the above sanctions, we will take the following factors into account, including (but not limited to):
    1. The numbers of instances of manifestly illegal or inappropriate content or manifestly unfounded notices or complaints submitted within a given timeframe;
    2. The relative proportion of such content in relation to the total amount of content posted or notices submitted within a given timeframe;
    3. The nature and seriousness of the inappropriate or illegal content including its potential or actual consequences on other Users;
    4. Where it is possible to identify, the intent of the individual or the complainant.
  3. If we impose any of the above sanctions, we will inform you of the sanction and the reason(s) why, including specific references to these Terms or our Rules of Conduct.
5. Rights of Redress – how to set things right
  1. Internal complaint handling process. We may take certain restrictive actions on your content or account if we believe you have violated the law or our policies, or we may decide not to act on a report you submitted regarding potential illegal or policy-violating content. When this happens and you disagree with our decision, you may challenge our decision to take action (or not to take action as the case may be), via our internal complaint handling system within 6 months of receiving notice of our decision.
    
    You can file a complaint via Customer Support. Please specify ‘Appeal a decision’ in the subject line of your email so that we can promptly begin the review process. We will review our decision and respond to you as soon as possible.
  2. Out of court dispute settlement body: You may be able to refer your matter to an out-of-court dispute settlement body. Out-of-court dispute settlement bodies are independent bodies with the means and expertise to consider the issues brought to them. The EU Digital Services Act requires that each EU/EEA Member State certify out-of-court settlement bodies to handle eligible disputes. The European Commission publishes and updates a list of certified out-of-court settlement bodies which can be found here.

Governing Law; Severability, Waiver, Entire Agreement; Survival:
1. Except as provided below, these Terms together with all our policies are governed by and construed in accordance with Danish law, excluding conflicts of law provisions which would result in another jurisdiction’s law governing these Terms, provided this stipulation is not in conflict with mandatory rules of the state in which your abode is situated.

For United States customers only, these Terms together with all our policies are governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the law of the State of Massachusetts , excluding its conflicts of law provisions.
2. If any provision of these Terms (other than the Class Action Waiver) shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions or the arbitrability of Disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action Waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable, (i) Disputes with users located in the United States will be decided by a State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut and (ii) Disputes with users located in any other country will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in Denmark.
3. BrickLink’s failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such terms.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver:
1. If you reside in the EEA/UK/Switzerland/Australia/New Zealand/Turkey/Japan/Brazil, then only this Section 27.1 will apply to you. BrickLink will try and solve any disagreements or disputes that arise between you and BrickLink promptly and efficiently. You and BrickLink may mutually agree to refer any disagreement or disputed matter to resolution proceedings other than in a court, but you and BrickLink are not restricted from bringing court proceedings at any time. The European Commission provides for an online dispute resolution platform, which you can access here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. If you would like to bring a matter to our attention, please email us at bricklink@support.lego.com with the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your disagreement or dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. We are not obliged nor willing to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration board or scheme.
2. If you reside outside the EEA/UK/Switzerland/Australia/New Zealand/Turkey/Japan/Brazil, then the terms below in this Section 27.2 apply to you.
  1. This Section 27 facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any claim or controversy, suit, action, or other dispute, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between you and BrickLink arising out of or relating to these Terms (Disputes).
  2. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution: For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give BrickLink an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing us the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration as provided in this Section.
  3. Individual Binding Arbitration. Please read this Section carefully. It provides that you and BrickLink agree that, except as expressly provided above in Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution or below in this Section, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration as provided in this Section 27. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, and by entering into this arbitration agreement you acknowledge that you are waiving your right to bring claims and seek remedies in court, including the right to a judge or jury trial, and that your Disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, not a court. The arbitrator must follow this arbitration agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court, but may not award any damages disclaimed or limited by these Terms unless, as provided in this Agreement such disclaimer or limitations are not enforceable under applicable law. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may seek injunctive and equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction and without having to proceed through arbitration as provided in this Section.
  4. Conduct of the Arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class or collective arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All Disputes submitted to arbitration under these Terms shall be governed by the law specified in Section 26. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitral award shall be made no more than 30 calendar days after the close of the arbitral hearing. Any failure to render the award within this time period shall not affect the validity of the award. The award shall be a reasoned award, including an explanation of the basis of the arbitrator’s decision, and shall be in writing. Such award shall be final and binding on the parties thereto. The prevailing party may present the award to a court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation. An arbitral award may be confirmed in a court of competent jurisdiction.
  5. Arbitration Procedures. If you are located within the United States, the then-applicable American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “US Rules”) shall apply to any arbitration under these Terms, and if you are located outside the United States, the then-applicable United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules (“International Rules”) shall apply to any arbitration under these Terms, except to the extent the provisions of this Section vary from the applicable US Rules or International Rules. In the case of the International Rules, the appointing authority shall be the AAA and the case shall be administered by AAA in accordance with its “Procedures for Cases under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.” In the case of the US Rules, the arbitration shall be conducted and administered by the AAA. If the AAA refuses or declines to be the appointing authority or to conduct or administer an arbitration for any reason, then JAMS will be the appointing authority and JAMS will conduct and administer that arbitration. In such event, the then applicable JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures shall apply to that arbitration and shall be the US Rules for that arbitration for purposes of this Section. If JAMS refuses or declines to be the appointing authority or to conduct or administer an arbitration for any reason, then BrickLink may specify a different organization to be the appointing authority and to conduct and administer that arbitration. Further, these Terms concern interstate commerce such that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) will govern the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statutes of limitations or conditions precedent to arbitration.
  6. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs: As long as you make a request in writing to BrickLink by emailing us at bricklink@support.lego.com prior to the commencement of the arbitration, including without limitation as a part of the pre-arbitration claim resolution contemplated by Section 27.2.2 above, BrickLink will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS or alternative authority hearing fees and any arbitrator's hearing fees, costs and expenses upon your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with BrickLink as provided in the Section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
  7. Location of Arbitration: If you are not located in the United States, you or BrickLink may initiate arbitration in a mutually agreeable location that is reasonably convenient for you and BrickLink. If you are located in the United States, you or BrickLink may initiate arbitration in the State of Massachusetts, or the federal judicial district that includes the address provided in your notification to BrickLink of Pre-Arbitration Claims Resolution.
  8. Class Action Waiver: You agree not to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants proceeding against BrickLink in a judicial forum or an arbitral forum, including a class, representative, collective, consolidated, or private attorney general action. The arbitrators may not consolidate more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, collective, or representative proceeding or claims unless both you and BrickLink specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration in a writing signed by authorized representatives of each party. If you choose to pursue your Disputes in court by opting out of this provision, as specified in Section 27.2.9 below, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Class Action Waiver Opt-Out; Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding the other terms in this Section, you or BrickLink may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute may be and is initiated in small claims court in the United States; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST AGREE TO THE THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of the arbitration terms in this Section by mailing written notification to BrickLink, Legal Department, 505 Technology Drive. Ste 300, Irvine, CA 92618. Your written notification must include (1) your name and your BrickLink username and account number, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with BrickLink through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with BrickLink. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline is not valid and you must pursue your Dispute(s) in arbitration or small claims court as described in this Section.
  9. If you are located in the United States and have elected to pursue Disputes in court by opting out of the arbitration terms in this Section, then you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the United States federal courts located in the State of Massachusetts, United States of America, for all Disputes and, if those federal courts do not have jurisdiction over you or the Dispute, then the state courts located in the State of Massachusetts, United States of America. The jurisdiction of those courts shall be exclusive, provided that either party may seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
  10. Jury Trial Waiver: If you elect to pursue Disputes in court by opting out of arbitration in this Section then, to the extent jury trials are permitted under applicable law, each party hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, its right to a jury trial for any cause of action, claim, or suit arising out of or related to these Terms.
