10.1. Platform Services: Osokony’s website, www.osokony.com, serves as a digital marketplace facilitating the exchange of information between buyers and sellers. It offers a suite of web-based services enabling members to initiate, agree upon, execute, oversee, and complete online transactions for products and services, all within the framework of the Transaction Services Agreement.

10.2. Risk Awareness: Users should be aware of the potential risks involved in online dealings, particularly with entities that may misrepresent themselves. While Osokony employs various verification methods to check the reliability of information provided by users subscribing to paid services, absolute verification of user identity on the internet is challenging. Osokony cannot guarantee the true identity of any user, including paid members. Users are advised to employ multiple verification strategies and common sense when engaging in transactions.

10.5. Transactional Risks: Both Buyers and Sellers acknowledge the inherent risks associated with conducting purchase and sale transactions through Osokony Marketplace. These risks include, but are not limited to, misrepresentation, fraud, substandard quality, non-compliance with specifications, defective or hazardous products, illegal items, delivery or payment delays or defaults, cost miscalculations, warranty breaches, contract violations, and transportation mishaps. Users may also face risks related to third-party rights, including potential costs associated with defense or indemnification claims. Osokony disclaims liability for any damages or losses resulting from such transactional risks.
10.6. Contractual Terms: Buyers and Sellers are solely responsible for establishing and adhering to the terms and conditions of their transactions, including aspects such as payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, titles, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation, and storage, in accordance with the Transaction Services Agreement.

The total liability of Osokony for any claims under these terms, including for any implied warranties, is limited to the amount you paid us to use the services (or, if we choose, to supplying you the services again).
12.4. By using the Osokony Marketplace Platform, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Osokony, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another.
