Terms of Service

1. What JMLogMarket Is

JMLogMarket ("we," "us," or "the Platform") is an online marketplace that connects people who have logs, lumber, or mill products to sell with people who want to buy them. We also list trucking services.

We are a listing platform only. We do not buy logs. We do not sell logs. We do not arrange or guarantee any transaction. We simply provide a place for buyers and sellers to find each other.

2. We Are Not Part of Your Deals

When you contact a seller or buyer through JMLogMarket, you are dealing directly with that person or business. JMLogMarket is not a party to any transaction, agreement, or contract you make with another user.

This means:

• We do not verify the accuracy of listings (species, volume, grade, price, etc.)
• We do not inspect logs, lumber, or equipment
• We do not guarantee that sellers will deliver what they promise
• We do not guarantee that buyers will pay
• We do not mediate disputes between users
• We do not hold funds or provide escrow services

You are responsible for your own due diligence. Inspect products before buying. Verify the other party. Get agreements in writing. Use your own judgment.

3. User Accounts

To post listings, you must create an account. By creating an account, you agree that:

• You are at least 18 years old
• The information you provide is accurate
• You will keep your login credentials secure
• You are responsible for all activity under your account
• You will notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access

We may suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these terms.

4. Listing Rules

When you post a listing on JMLogMarket, you agree that:

• You have the legal right to sell what you're listing
• Your listing is accurate and not misleading
• You will respond to inquiries in good faith
• You will not post illegal, stolen, or fraudulent items
• You will not post spam, duplicate listings, or off-topic content
• You will not use the platform to harass other users

We reserve the right to remove any listing at any time for any reason, without notice.

5. Fees

Currently, JMLogMarket is free to use. We do not charge listing fees or take commissions on sales.

We reserve the right to introduce fees in the future. If we do, we will notify users in advance and any new fees will only apply to listings created after the fee takes effect.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, JMLogMarket is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the platform or any transaction with another user.

This includes but is not limited to:

• Loss of money due to a bad deal
• Products that don't match their description
• Non-delivery of products
• Non-payment by buyers
• Injury, property damage, or other harm
• Loss of data or account access
• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages

The platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JMLogMarket, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the platform
• Your listings or content
• Your transactions with other users
• Your violation of these terms
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights

8. Intellectual Property

The JMLogMarket name, logo, and website design are our property. You may not copy, modify, or use our branding without permission.

When you post content (listings, photos, descriptions), you retain ownership but grant us a license to display, distribute, and promote that content on the platform.

9. Third-Party Services

JMLogMarket uses third-party services for authentication, hosting, and other functions. Your use of the platform is also subject to the terms of these providers, including but not limited to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Cognito.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the platform will be resolved in the courts of Greenup County, Kentucky.

12. Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue in full force and effect.
