Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability:
You expressly agree that use of the Site, App or Services is at your sole risk. Hockey Lane does
not assume any responsibility nor warrants the products sold by using the Services. All
information of the products advertised on the Services has been built and published by the user
which is selling the product. Consequently, Hockey Lane cannot guarantee the quality of the
same, as well as the veracity of the images and/or descriptions published by the seller users.
However, if we are made aware of any inappropriate listings or behavior by a user, we may elect
to remove such posting and/or terminate their account.
The transaction takes places and is decided exclusively between the buyer and seller, and
Hockey Lane only provides use of the Services for advertising purposes. Any claim or dispute
that may arise between buying and selling users must be settled solely between them, and all
users agree to hold Hockey Lane harmless.
We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of our Services will be uninterrupted,
timely, secure or error-free. You agree that from time to time we may remove the Services for
indefinite periods of time or cancel the Service at any time, without notice to you. You expressly

conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions
of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and
non-infringement.

not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred
as a result of the use of the Service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise
made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or
