In addition to the velo2velo services, ancillary goods or services such as insurance or bike finance may be advertised on velo2velo. Although users may offer financial products on their ads, velo2velo is in no way involved or liable for any loss related to such transactions.

Velo2velo may at times supplement the information you have provided in an ad. This could include descriptions, product specifications, reviews and other content. You may use such information solely in connection with your velo2velo ad while your ad is on velo2velo.

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 representation or employees. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do.

We do not commit to reviewing users' postings and are not involved in the actual transactions between users. As most of the content on velo2velo comes from users, we do not guarantee the accuracy of postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what's offered.

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee continuous, error-free or secure access to our services or that defects in the service will be corrected.

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 velo2velo, even if you advise us or we could reasonably foresee the possibility of any such damage occurring.

Data Protection and Privacy

By using velo2velo, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by velo2velo on servers located in the United States.

You and velo2velo 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 velo2velo and you process personal data under and/or in connection with this User Agreement as joint controllers or in a controller-to-processor relationship.

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 velo2velo exclusively for the purpose(s) you received the personal data under and/or in connection with these Terms of Use.

As part of the services, velo2velo has access to various information about users, including personal data. This includes information that users submit to velo2velo 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 velo2velo 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 information on the performance and analysis of your ads.

Velo2velo only shares information about users with third parties if this is necessary for the provision of the services or if velo2velo 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 velo2velo 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 velo2velo, including sharing such data with third parties and your rights as a data subject, please see our Privacy Notice.
