iWanty Terms and Condition

Welcome to IWanty.com!

By accessing and using our site, services, applications, and tools (collectively referred to as “Services”), you agree to abide by these Terms of Condition, the Privacy Policy, the Mobile Devices Terms, and all other policies posted on our site.

1. Your Account

To use our services, create an account and register using your email and a password (your “Account”). Your provided email address will serve as your account identifier, and it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your password.

You are solely accountable for all activities carried out under your Account. Therefore, you must safeguard your password and make it difficult for others to guess. You cannot transfer your Account to another party without our explicit consent.

Suppose you choose to connect to our Services using a third-party service. In that case, you grant us permission to access, store, and utilize your information from that service in accordance with the permissions granted by that service and as described in our Privacy Policy. If your Account has been compromised or misused, please contact IWanty Customer Support immediately.

2. Using our Services

When using our Services, please ensure that you post in the appropriate category or section and refrain from engaging in any prohibited activities, including:

Violating any laws or our Prohibited Content Policy.
Providing false or misleading information.
Violating the rights of any third party.
Distributing spam or chain letters.
Disseminating viruses or any other technologies that could damage iWanty, or the interests or property of our users.
Overloading our infrastructure or interfering with the proper functioning of IWanty.
Copying, modifying, or distributing content belonging to others.
Using automated means such as robots and spiders to access IWanty and collect content without our express written permission.
Harvesting or collecting information about others, including email addresses, without their consent.
Circumventing measures implemented to prevent or restrict access to IWanty.

3. Abusing iWanty Services

To maintain the correct functioning of our Services site, please report any problems or offensive content using the flagging system. We reserve the right to limit or terminate Services, remove content, and take necessary actions to address user behavior that goes against our policies.

However, we do not accept liability for monitoring IWanty, unauthorized or unlawful content on the site, or user actions. Please use English for communication.

4. Global Marketplace

Using our Services, you acknowledge that some of IWanty’s features may display your ads on other classified sites in different countries. You agree to have your ads shown on these sites. The terms for these sites are like ours, but additional laws or restrictions may apply in the countries where your ad is displayed.

When posting your ad on another site, you must ensure compliance with their policies. We reserve the right to remove your ad if flagged on any of our sites or if we believe it poses problems or violates any laws or policies.

5. Fees and Services

The Services are generally free, but we may charge fees for certain features. If a fee applies to a service you use, you can review and accept it. Our fees are quoted in Canadian Dollars and may change over time. We will notify you of any fee policy changes by posting them on the site.

Temporary fee changes for promotions or new services will be announced separately. Fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for paying them when due. Failure to do so may limit your ability to use the Services.

If payment fails or your account becomes past due, we may use alternative collection methods to collect the fees owed. Applicable Canadian taxes will be collected as required. It is your responsibility to provide accurate address information for tax compliance.

We may determine and collect taxes at our discretion if such information is not provided. You are solely responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable taxes resulting from selling your listed items or services.

Different IWanty websites and mobile applications may have varying features and functionality. To access certain functionality, you must be a resident of Canada and able to form a binding contract under the law, including being above the age of majority in your province or territory.

The IWanty Marketplace may have additional requirements outlined in its terms. You agree to comply with all relevant laws and regulations when making purchases through IWanty, including any licensing or insurance requirements.

6. Content

The Services include content from us, you, other users, and third-party service providers. You agree not to copy, modify, resell, or distribute the Services, our copyrights, or trademarks. By providing us with content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, and sub-licensable right to use that content, including its copyright, publicity, and associated database rights.

If you believe your rights have been violated, please get in touch with IWanty Customer Support, and we will investigate the issue. We reserve the right to remove content if there are reasonable grounds to suspect a violation of these terms or the rights of others.

7. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringements

Please refrain from posting content that infringes upon the rights of third parties, including intellectual property rights such as copyright and trademark. Additionally, avoid posting content that references or portrays identifiable third parties without obtaining their consent.

We reserve the right to remove content if there are reasonable grounds to suspect a violation of these terms, our policies, or the rights of any party involved.

Follow these steps to report a listing on IWanty that you believe infringes upon your intellectual property rights. Only the intellectual property rights owner can report potentially infringing items or listings through the IWanty marketplace.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We are not responsible for the actions or content posted by other users, nor are we liable for the payment processing of other service providers.

Please note that if you link a Third-Party Payment Processor account to your IWanty Account, you are bound by that provider’s terms and conditions for payments made through IWanty. We are not responsible for any loss, claims, or damages related to the services of third-party payment processors.

Since most of the content on the Services is generated by users, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, efficacy, or timeliness of postings or user communications. We cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to the Services, and notification functionality may experience delays beyond our control.

To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, representations, and conditions, whether express or implied, including quality, merchantability, durability, and fitness for a particular purpose.

We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill, reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from your use of IWanty, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages. The disclaimer of warranties and exclusion of damages may not apply to you if prohibited by your local jurisdiction.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold IWanty, its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from any claims, including any settlement amounts or awarded damages, as well as reasonable legal costs, arising from or related to your use of the Services.

This includes any alleged violations of the terms of service or applicable laws or regulations. At our own expense, we have the right to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter that you are required to indemnify, but this does not release you from your indemnification obligations.

10. Personal Information

By utilizing our Services, you are consenting to the gathering, transmission, retention, and utilization of your personal information by IWanty.com (referred to as the “data controller”) on servers situated in the United States and the European Union, as elaborated in our privacy policy.

11. Reviews

When communicating with other users on IWanty, you may be requested to leave a review. Reviews include a 1-5-star rating and selected reasons for your rating choice. Your submitted review, username, profile photo (if available), and the seller’s listing category will be publicly displayed.

To ensure fairness, user reviews should:

Accurately depict the interaction between you and the other user.
Not be used to harassing or abuse another user.
Not be employed to manipulate or mislead other users.

To maintain the integrity of the review system, users cannot edit or remove reviews on their own or others’ profiles. IWanty does not mediate review-related disputes.

User reviews represent the opinions of individual IWanty users and not the opinion of IWanty itself. We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate our policies or guidelines. For more information, please consult our user review policy.

12. General

These terms and posted policies on the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and us, replacing any previous agreements. The agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and federal laws of Canada. Both parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

This does not affect your statutory consumer rights; specific topics may be subject to other applicable consumer laws. Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our right to do so in the future. If a court invalidates any of these terms, the remaining ones will remain in effect.

13. Mobile Devices Terms
