Welcome to the Settle website.

These Website Terms of Use explain the rules for using our website. By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms.

1. About Settle

Settle is a marketplace for carefully selected pre-owned furniture.

Through our website, you can:

• browse and purchase furniture from us;
• request an offer to sell furniture to us;
• contact our team;
• access information about our services.

Separate Terms & Conditions apply when buying from or selling to Settle.

2. Using our website

You agree to use our website responsibly and lawfully.

You must not:

• use our website for any unlawful purpose;
• attempt to interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• introduce viruses, malware or other harmful software;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems;
• use automated tools or bots to scrape or copy large amounts of website content without our permission.

We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.

3. Accuracy of information

We aim to ensure that all information on our website is accurate and up to date.

However:

• furniture availability may change without notice;
• prices may occasionally change;
• we may correct errors or update information at any time.

We'll always honour any legal obligations that apply once an order has been accepted.

4. Your account

If you create an account with us, you're responsible for keeping your login details secure.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you believe someone else has accessed your account without your permission.

We're entitled to suspend or close accounts where we reasonably believe they've been used fraudulently or in breach of these Terms.

5. Information you submit

If you submit information through our website—for example when requesting an offer to sell furniture—you confirm that:

• the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
• you have the right to provide it;
• it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.

Submitting information doesn't guarantee that we'll make an offer or purchase your furniture.

6. Photographs you upload

If you upload photographs to our website, you confirm that:

• you own the photographs or have permission to use them;
• the photographs accurately represent the furniture;
• they don't knowingly hide significant damage or defects;
• they don't contain unlawful, offensive or inappropriate content.

By uploading photographs, you give Settle permission to use them for the purpose of valuing your furniture and administering your request.

If we purchase your furniture, we may retain the photographs as part of our business records.

7. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on this website belongs to Settle or is used under licence.

This includes, but isn't limited to:

• our branding;
• logos;

You may browse and use our website for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You must not reproduce, copy, distribute or commercially exploit any website content without our prior written permission.

Our website may include links to third-party websites for your convenience.

We're not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of websites operated by others.

9. Website availability

We work hard to keep our website available and running smoothly.

However, we can't guarantee uninterrupted access.

From time to time, we may suspend the website for maintenance, updates or technical reasons.

Subject to that, we aren't responsible for losses arising from:

• temporary website outages;
• technical errors outside our reasonable control;
• your use of third-party websites linked from our website;
• information you've provided that is inaccurate or incomplete.

These Terms don't affect any rights you may have when buying from or selling to Settle under our separate Terms & Conditions.
