4. Platform Role
KillerRocks is a venue that facilitates transactions between independent buyers and sellers. KillerRocks is not a party to any transaction, does not hold funds in escrow (unless a future escrow service is explicitly offered), does not guarantee buyer or seller performance, and is not responsible for disputes between users. Users transact at their own risk.
5. Fees
A platform fee of 5% applies to completed marketplace transactions where payment is processed through the Platform. Transactions conducted off-platform are not subject to this fee but are also not covered by any dispute resolution services.
6. Dispute Resolution Between Users
KillerRocks may, at its sole discretion, assist in mediating disputes but is under no obligation to do so. Users are encouraged to resolve disputes directly. Fraudulent sellers may be reported to relevant law enforcement.
7. Seller Indemnification
Sellers agree to indemnify KillerRocks LLC from any claims arising from their listings, sales, or conduct on the Platform, including claims of fraud, misrepresentation, or infringement of third-party rights.
8. Account Consequences
Violation of this Agreement may result in listing removal, account suspension, permanent ban, and/or referral to law enforcement. Reputation scores and seller history are permanently recorded.
