• Not responsible for Merchants

Check4Specials's role is limited to providing the platform through which you can view, compare and, if registered, comment on, the products offered by different Merchants. In some instances you will be able to follow links through to such Merchants' websites.

A Merchant which is referred to as a 'trusted Merchant' is a Merchant which is a registered company, having a secure payment gateway and which displays on its website all product information, refund and returns policy, shipping methods and all available payment methods.

Neither Check4Specials nor any of its agents or representatives shall be liable for any damage, loss or liability of whatsoever nature arising in relation to any Merchant. Without detracting from the generality of the aforegoing, Check4Specials will not be liable in any way whatsoever in relation to any purchases you may make from any Merchant/s. In purchasing products from any Merchant, you are contracting with the relevant Merchant to purchase such Merchant's product/s and the Merchant is thus solely responsible for the fulfilment of all aspects of your purchase from it. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating the price, quality and legitimacy of any products listed on the Website and Check4Specials does not guarantee that any Merchant or other party involved in transactions arising from listings or advertisements placed on the Website will act in good faith.
