We at Dreven Holdings LLC (“Company”, “we” or “us”) welcome you to the BuyBackWorld.com website (“Website” or “BuyBackWorld”). The Website provides a service by which you (the “User”) offer to sell your used electronics (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Services”). In order to use the Services, you must agree to BuyBackWorld’s terms and conditions (“Agreement”) before you may access and / or use the Website and/or Services.

By accessing and using the Website, you represent and warrant that you are more than thirteen (13) years of age and that, if you are under eighteen (18) years of age, your parent or legal guardian who is at least eighteen (18) years of age has agreed to be bound with you by this Agreement. Otherwise, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that you have the right, authority and capacity to agree to this Agreement and to abide by all of its terms and conditions.

 

Registration: Registration with BuyBackWorld is required in order to use the Services. When you register, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“Registration Information”). You also represent that we may rely on your Registration Information as being accurate, current and complete. All information collected is treated as described in our Privacy Policy, which can be found at: www.BuyBackWorld.com/privacy. BuyBackWorld reserves the right to terminate your account for inaccurate, deceptive and / or incomplete Registration Information.

 
Username and Password: You will be asked during the registration process to provide a unique username and password. We reserve the right to refuse to grant you any username, in our sole discretion, if the username that you choose is invalid. Invalid usernames include, but are not limited to, usernames that are vulgar or offensive; usernames that attempt to impersonate another individual or company; or usernames which violate trademark law, which may cause confusion or which violate any other proprietary rights of any company or individual.

You agree that you are solely responsible for any and all activities that are conducted using your account. Please keep your username and password confidential. You agree that you will not transfer, resell or allow any other third party to use your username and password to access the Website. If you have reason to believe that your username and / or password have become compromised, you agree to immediately notify BuyBackWorld of such event by emailing BuyBackWorld at support@BuyBackWorld.com. For security reasons, BuyBackWorld will not release username or password information for any reason, other than to the applicable user, except as may be specifically required by law or court order.

 
Right to Refuse Service: The Services are not available to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Users. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate unconfirmed or inactive accounts. BuyBackWorld also reserves the right to refuse use of the Website or Service to anyone, for any reason, at any time, at our sole discretion.

You agree to use the Services and Website in a manner that conforms to any and all applicable international, federal, state and local laws and regulations.

 

How Our Service Works: You visit the site and search for the item / or items that you intend to sell. Next, you fill out the item form which asks questions about the item and its condition. Upon receipt of that information, the Site will display a price quote indicating the amount of money that we will pay for the item you have described in the item form. The price quote is valid for thirty (30) calendar days from the date that the price quote is issued.

 

Accuracy of Information: We make all efforts to ensure that the information presented on the Site or in other communications including, but not limited to, price quotes is accurate. In the event of any typographical errors, technical inaccuracies, pricing errors or omissions, we reserve the right to correct the error. If we correct an error that will have a material effect on our price quote to you, you will have two (2) options: (1) to continue with the transaction based on the corrected information; or (2) to cancel your transaction, in which case we will promptly return your item to you.

 

Accepting the Offer: If you choose to accept the offer to buy at that quoted price from BuyBackWorld, you then create an account and complete the checkout process. The Site will then send you an email containing a prepaid United States Postal Service (“USPS”) shipping label. Please make sure that your email system is set to receive emails from BuyBackWorld.com.

 

Shipping the Item: Once you have received the label, you pack the item carefully in either your own shipping carton or use a box that you purchase at a USPS location and ship it from a U.S. Post Office. We prepay the shipping costs when you use our prepaid label. However, if you wish to fully insure your package, insurance must be purchased by you at your sole expense.

 
Risk of Loss/Passing of Title: You assume all risk of loss or damage in transit until the item is received by us at our processing center. Title to the item does not pass to BuyBackWorld until the item is received and inspected at our processing center. If your item is rejected (due to damage or other issues that were not disclosed in your item form), title to the item will remain with you and the item will be returned to you.

If you choose to use any other shipping service or carrier, you must do so at your own expense.

 
Inspection of the Item: Once we receive the item, our team inspects it to make sure it arrives in the condition stated in your item form. We then notify you that we have received your item and that it has been inspected. If it arrives in the condition stated, you will receive an email confirming this and we will issue payment in the amount of the price quote (by check or Paypal®).

If the item does not arrive in the condition stated in your item form, we will inform you of this via email and either cancel our offer and ship the item back to you at the address of record on the account or make a lower offer based on the condition it was received in. The item must include all the materials you stated came with your item (i.e., chargers, adapters, accessories, software, etc.). Failure to include these pieces of your item will lower your quote and lead to recalculation.

 

Return Circumstance: Only individuals with items that are sent revised offers based on condition discrepancies will be given the option to receive their item back. If you send in the wrong model of a particular item, your order will be automatically processed at the correct amount. If you send in a phone with a bad ESN, you will be given the opportunity to clear the ESN or accept the "poor" price of the item, but the item will NOT be returned to you.

 

You will have the opportunity to reject our new offer for up to seventy two (72) hours. If you do not respond within seventy two (72) hours, we will infer your acceptance of our lower offer and automatically process the item at the price quote adjusted by us to reflect the appropriate condition. Items which are reoffered based on wrong model number or bad ESNs will not have the option to be sent back. 

 

Risk of Loss (detail): In the event that you reject the revised offer, your item will be sent back to you via USPS Priority Mail or FedEx Ground. A tracking number will be provided to you if you request one. You remain responsible for the risk-of-loss of any and all Products until delivery of the same to BuyBackWorld. You are responsible for any damages that may occur to your Product while in transit. BuyBackWorld is responsible for the risk-of-loss when it opens the packaging containing your Product and ceases in the event BuyBackWorld returns your Product to you for any reason. For avoidance of doubt, in such event, risk-of-loss will be transferred to you once BuyBackWorld delivers the package to the carrier for return to you and you will bear the risk-of-loss in transit. All items which are returned and show a delivery confirmation via the carrier's tracking # are considered final and you bear the risk-of-loss for items which are taken from your property. Returned items will not be shipped with signature confirmation or with insurance.

 

Passing of Title (detail): Title of the Products passes to BuyBackWorld upon BuyBackWorld's receipt and acceptance of the Product for the original quote or the revised offer, as applicable. If there is any Return Circumstance, title shall not pass to BuyBackWorld and remain with you.

 
Our Rating System for Item Condition Upon Receipt:
Poor – The item does not function properly or significant physical damage, including cracks, broken displays, missing parts, or personalization etc. A bad ESN is also considered poor condition.
Fair – The item functions as it should but there is evidence of heavy use, such as deep scratches and dents.
Good – The item functions as it should but there is evidence of normal wear, such as minor scratches or scuffs.
Perfect – The item has no imperfections or flaws and appears like it was taken out of the box new.

 

Prohibited Items: Certain items are prohibited. By using the Service, you represent that the items are not items that are prohibited. You agree to indemnify the Covered Parties (as defined herein) from any liability resulting from your submission to us of prohibited items.  Additionally, Prohibited Items will not be returned the user. Prohibited items include, but are not necessarily limited to:
  1. Illegal, counterfeit or stolen items;
  2. Items that infringe on any third party’s intellectual property (copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent) or publicity or privacy rights;
  3. Items that violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising);

Data Removal: We work very hard to maintain the highest standards of data security.
