OnceOff may, but is not obligated to, provide intermediary services between the Buyer and Dealer in connection with customer service or dispute resolution matters. In the event OnceOff elects in its sole discretion to provide intermediary services, then the decision of OnceOff is final and binding on all parties and cannot be appealed, challenged or reversed.
The Dealer is responsible for accurately describing the Items it is offering to sell and for delivering the Items to the Buyer/Member in accordance with the arrangements made between Buyer and Dealer, including transfer of title and payment of sales tax or VAT or import/export duty to the appropriate authority.
The Buyer is responsible for determining the value, condition and authenticity of the Items being purchased, to pay the purchase price to the Dealer including any sales tax, VAT or import/export duties, and to arrange for shipping of the Items purchased unless otherwise agreed by the OnceOff Group.
The agreements between the Buyer and the Dealer shall not be governed by the U. N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
The Seller/Brand is responsible for allocating a sales commission to OnceOff on all successful sales to members, whether online or offline. Any repeat sales made to an OnceOff Member to the seller/brand after the initial purchase is classed as a referred OnceOff member to the seller/brand and as such the brand must pay OnceOff a successful sales commission on each following sale.
You must be 18 years of age or older to use this Site. This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect information from such children. The Site is designed for persons with experience with, and who are accustomed to, buying Items based on photographs and the Buyer represents having such experience.
The OnceOff Global Private Members Group expressly reserves the right to terminate the use of, or to refuse to permit the use of, the Site by any person or entity, at the sole discretion of OnceOff, for any reason or no reason at all, and without prior notice.
Registration is required in order to use the Site as a member.
Registrants are required to provide certain information and to select a password to be used to create and access their accounts. This password and other registration details should be kept safe and not shared with anyone. Registrants may voluntarily provide additional information in the registration process to personalize their accounts. Registrants may access their accounts to view their profile information as well as transaction information by clicking the icon on the home page of the Site after logging in.
Buyers may cancel their registration and account at any time. For your security, requests to terminate accounts MUST originate from the registered email account at OnceOff addressed to info@onceoff.com. Under no circumstances will a cancellation request received via the phone or otherwise be accepted.2
Dealers are responsible for the accuracy in describing and pricing the Items on the Site. OnceOff relies on the Dealers for such information and is not responsible in any way for the description or pricing of Items on the Site provided by the Dealer.
However, due to the nature of the internet, occasional glitches, service interruptions or mistakes may cause unintended inaccuracies to appear on the Site. OnceOff has the right to correct inaccuracies or mistakes that come to its attention and to void any purchases of Items that display an inaccurate price or description.
You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Site may occur from time to time as normal events or email.
Also, we may decide to cease making available the Site or any portion of the Site at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will OnceOff or the Dealers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.
Because most of the Items displayed on the Site are unique and are offered by Dealers that usually have retail opportunities for the sale of the Item independent from OnceOff, all Items displayed on the Site are offered for sale strictly subject to availability.
The Buyer is aware that unless otherwise stated, the Items are not new nor in perfect condition and may require touch-up or repairs prior to use and that the available information about these Items may be limited. While saying that, items may be new and direct from the brand. The Site is designed to provide the Buyer access to Items as the Dealers present them. Accordingly, OnceOff does not verify any information provided by the Dealer (or its representative selling an Item) and OnceOff makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Dealer, the Item or the information related to the Item.
Purchases through Site. When a Buyer identifies an Item for purchase, the Buyer may purchase or make an offer to purchase the Item directly through the Site’s checkout page or by contacting OnceOff through any method listed on the Site. At that time the Buyer shall submit valid payment information to OnceOff for payment of the Total Purchase Price. The “Total Purchase Price” is the price agreed to on the Site between Buyer and Dealer and includes (i) the agreed price of the Item (the “Purchase Price”); (ii) if applicable, shipping fees; and (iii) sales tax, use tax, VAT, Internet sales tax and/or any other taxes or levies that the Dealer is required to collect from the Buyer under applicable law at the time of sale. By making an offer to purchase, the Buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price and the Dealer agrees to sell the Item for the Total Purchase Price once a Sale Confirmation is issued to the Buyer. Once made, an offer may not be cancelled or revoked by the Buyer unless the offer was made at a time when the Total Purchase Price was yet to be confirmed e.g. because the shipping fees were unknown at the time of placing an offer (and subject to any statutory rights a Buyer may have).
Negotiable Prices; Counter-offers by Dealer. If the Dealer posting an Item has indicated that the price is negotiable, the Buyer may make an offer through the OnceOff Site to the Dealer to purchase the Item at a price selected by the Buyer. Once made, an offer may not be cancelled or revoked by the Buyer unless the offer was made at a time when the Total Purchase Price was yet to be confirmed e.g. because the shipping fees were unknown at the time of placing an offer (and subject to any statutory rights a Buyer may have). The Buyer or the Dealer or OnceOff may place a time limit on the effectiveness of the offer and each acknowledges that the offer will lapse at the end of the offer period. By making an offer, the Buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price if his/her offer is accepted by the Dealer. The Dealer may decline or accept the Buyer’s offer or make a counter-offer to the Buyer. By making a counter-offer, the Dealer, unless otherwise noted in the counter-offer, agrees to sell the Item to the Buyer at the counter-offered price and represents that the Item is available for immediate sale as long as the Buyer agrees to the counter-offer within 24hrs or such time set by the Dealer. If the Buyer agrees to pay the counter-offered price, the Buyer shall acknowledge that acceptance by confirming the purchase to the Seller or to OnceOff.
In certain circumstances, Buyers will be required to post a “reserve” to support its offer. This reserve shall be authorized to OnceOff by credit card at the time the initial offer is made. In the event the Buyer and Dealer are unable to agree upon the sale price or other terms of the transaction then OnceOff will cause the reserve to be credited back to Buyer’s credit card account. In the event Buyer and Dealer consummate the sale transaction, the amount of the reserve, up to the Total Purchase Price, will be charged and OnceOff will remit the funds to Dealer.
Sales Confirmation. An offer or counteroffer is deemed “accepted” by the Dealer and the sale is confirmed between the Buyer and the Dealer when a confirmation (“Sale Confirmation”) is posted to the Buyer’s account that (a) the Buyer’s offer or subsequent counteroffer to purchase the Item has been accepted and confirmed by the Dealer, or (b) the Buyer’s acceptance of the Dealer’s counteroffer has been acknowledged, accepted and confirmed by the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event(s) of an error by Dealer as to availability of the Item or an error by the Dealer or OnceOff as to acceptance of the Buyer’s offer or counter-offer, or any other error on Dealer’s or OnceOff’ part with respect to a Sale Confirmation or the operation of the Site, the Dealer and/or OnceOff reserve the right in their sole and absolute discretion to rescind that Sale Confirmation without penalty to any party.
Once a Dealer and Buyer agree on the terms of the sale of an Item, a binding contract between the Buyer and the Dealer with respect to the sale and purchase of that Item is created.
Immediately upon receipt of the Sale Confirmation, the Buyer shall remit an amount equal to 100% of the Total Purchase Price. In the event Buyer has previously posted a reserve with OnceOff for the Item, then the amount of the reserve shall be credited against the Total Purchase Price and Buyer shall remit the remaining balance of the Total Purchase Price.
The Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes OnceOff upon Sale Confirmation to charge the Buyer’s credit card or other payment methods for an amount equal to the Total Purchase Price.
If for any reason after receipt of the Sale Confirmation, Buyer cancels a payment made by credit card or any other means or the Buyer otherwise fails to make any payment(s) with respect to the Total Purchase Price, Buyer shall remain liable to the Dealer for the full Total Purchase Price and any costs related to the sale of the Item including but not limited to taxes, storage and handling fees if applicable and any costs incurred by OnceOff associated with collecting any amount due to the Dealer including but not limited to legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations.
Without limitation to the preceding sentence and in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, in the event of Buyer default, OnceOff reserves the right, at its election, to retain any and all payments paid by Buyer prior to Buyer default with respect to the Item and to cancel the sale of the Item without any further obligation to Buyer. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that damages to OnceOff and/or the Dealer in the event of Buyer Default will be difficult or impossible to prove and that the paid amount is reasonable compensation to OnceOff and/or the Dealer for damages suffered and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.
Where the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) as implemented into national law in the various EU jurisdictions applies to a Buyer, unless one of the exceptions below applies, such a Buyer has the right to cancel its order without giving reason within 14 days from the day on which that Buyer or a third party indicated by the Buyer receives an Item. The Buyer must inform the Dealer of its decision to cancel the order in writing within this period. The Dealer must reimburse all payments received from this Buyer/OnceOff for the Items purchased and the Buyer will incur no fee as a result of such reimbursement. However, reimbursement may be withheld until the Dealer has received the Items back from the Buyer. The Buyer must send back the Items following the instructions of the Dealer. The Buyer will bear the cost of returning the Items to the Dealer. The Buyer may lose this right if the value of the Items returned diminishes due to the handling of the Items. The right of cancellation does not apply to: (a) the supply of Items made to the Buyer’s specifications; (b) the supply of Items which may deteriorate or expire rapidly; (c) the delivery of Items which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by the Buyer after delivery, or which are, after delivery, mixed with other items; (d) the delivery of sealed video or audio recordings or of sealed software if unsealed by the Buyer after delivery; and (e) the supply of digital content if the Buyer accepted when it placed the order that delivery could be started and that the Buyer could not cancel once delivery had started.
All Items displayed on the Site are sold “AS IS”. Neither the Dealer nor OnceOff makes any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any Buyer with respect to any Item, including without limitation, its condition, merchant-ability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation. OnceOff makes no representation or warranty as to whether the Buyer acquires any reproduction rights or other intellectual property rights in any Item.
If the Buyer is purchasing an Item based partially or entirely on its stated provenance, designer or creator, the Buyer may at its option and at its own cost arrange with the Dealer to have Buyer’s selected expert review the Item prior to purchase. Selection of the expert is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Any arrangements for inspection shall be made between the Buyer and Dealer. Buyer expressly acknowledges that the Buyer’s use and/or reliance on any expert is at the Buyer’s own risk and cost. The member/buyer can ask OnceOff to organise an expert to review the product on site at the cost of the Member/Buyer.
The Buyer is entirely responsible for paying all sales and use taxes, VAT, export and/or import taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies related to the purchase of each Item purchased (collectively, “Taxes”). The Buyer shall pay the Dealer such Taxes as the Dealer is required to collect, but failure of the Dealer to collect the Taxes will not relieve the Buyer’s obligation. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes. The Buyer must determine, pay, collect, remit and report to the appropriate taxing authority the correct amount of all export and/or import taxes or duties payable upon export of the Item from its country of origin and import into Ireland, the United States or any other country.
Some of the Items sold on the Site may require cultural, customs and endangered species permits for export from the country where they are located and import into the Buyer’s country. Items may also be subject to a right of the country from which they are exported to purchase the Items from the Buyer, sometimes called a “right of preemption”. Neither the Dealer nor OnceOff makes any representation, gives any warranty or shall have any liability to the Buyer in respect of the requirement for, or the availability, or issuance of valid export or import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere.
If the listing of any Item on the Site discloses that the Item requires a cultural export permit or the Dealer, or OnceOff discloses such requirement after confirmation of the sale but before the shipper picks up the Item, or the Buyer first learns that an export permit is required after the Item has been picked up by the shipper, and the Dealer is unable to obtain the export permit within thirty (30) days after the later of confirmation of the sale or disclosure of the requirement for the export permit, the Buyer may rescind the sale of such Item by giving written notice to OnceOff and the Dealer within seven (7) business days after expiration of the applicable thirty (30) day period. In no event shall the Buyer be entitled to rescind a sale more than ninety (90) days after the date of the sale to the Buyer.
If the sale is rescinded, the Buyer shall cause the affected Item to be returned to the Dealer at the Buyer’s cost unless otherwise agreed. Upon such return, OnceOff and/or the Dealer shall return to the Buyer the Total Purchase Price. The benefit of this right of rescission is not assignable and belongs solely to the Buyer.
The Dealer of each Item sold on the Site represents that the Dealer will convey clear title of each Item to the Buyer upon receipt by the Dealer or his/her agent of their Total Purchase Price for the Item. In the event the Dealer has requested that OnceOff collect and remit payment of the Total Purchase Price, then the Dealer will convey clear title to the Item upon receipt of the Sales Confirmation by the Buyer and receipt by OnceOff of the Total Purchase Price.
In the case of Buyer-arranged shipping, risk of loss and title for such Items pass to Buyer upon Dealer’s delivery of the Item to the carrier selected by the Buyer for shipment or when the Buyer picks up the Item from the Dealer. In the case of Dealer arranging shipping, risk of loss and title for such Items pass to Buyer upon Buyer’s receipt of the Item. The Dealer represents that the Dealer is the sole owner of each Item the Dealer is offering for sale on the Site or that the Dealer is duly authorized by the owner of the Item to sell the Item and that the Dealer will transfer ownership of the Item to the Buyer free from any claims by third parties.
Buyer-arranged shipping. Buyer is in every instance free to arrange Buyer’s own shipping and may elect to use any shipping company of its choice. The crating/shipping/insurance companies designated by the Buyer are the Buyer’s agents and the Buyer will bear all applicable costs and pay such costs directly to the agents. Buyer may also ask OnceOff to arrange for shipping of Items on Buyer’s behalf which may be subject to pre-advertised shipping prices.
Dealer-arranged shipping. Buyer may elect to have the Dealer arrange for crating, packaging, shipping and freight insurance. Upon Buyer’s request Dealer shall provide shipping information including the name of the freight carrier, the complete cost of shipment from Dealer to Buyer’s designated receiving address, the cost of any duty or other charges to be paid by Buyer, the cost of freight insurance and the name of such insurance provider, as well as any costs or fees to be charged by Dealer for crating or packaging the Items for shipment. Buyer and Dealer shall mutually agree on shipment terms and Buyer shall prepay all shipment costs for Dealer-arranged shipping.
We expect and require Buyers to comply with the following business practices:
(i) Buyers shall treat all Dealers and OnceOff with respect and without discrimination;
(ii) Buyers must obtain appropriate insurance for all shipments at Buyer’s sole cost for buyer-arranged shipping;
(iii) Buyers shall provide accurate account information and keep contact information up to date; and
(iv) Buyers shall make payment immediately, via major credit card with sufficient available balance or other means to pay the Total Purchase Price when it becomes due.

You expressly agree to release OnceOff, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), and each of the foregoing, from any and all manner of action, claim or cause of action or suit, at law or in equity, and from any and all losses, damages, costs or expenses, including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees, which you may have against the Released Parties, or any of them, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, which arise out of or relate in any way to a dispute. You further waive your rights under Irish Civil Code, and any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or other agency relationship exists between you and OnceOff as a result of these Terms or your use of the Site.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF OnceOff TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING FROM THE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, $100.00.

(A) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or its breach, which cannot be resolved between the parties through negotiation within thirty (30) days, shall be submitted to the Irish Arbitration Association (“IAA”) for mandatory binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator chosen in accordance with the IAA Rules. Discovery shall be permitted, but only to the extent that the documents are directly relevant to and needed for fair resolution of one or more of the issues of importance and can be located and produced at a cost that is reasonable in the context of all surrounding facts and circumstances. When the cost and burden of discovery are disproportionate to the likely importance of the requested materials, the arbitrator may deny the requests or require that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other side.
(B) Additional Provisions. The arbitrator may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort, nor award damages inconsistent with these Terms. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to enforce the results of the arbitration or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which the award is based. The result of the arbitration shall bind the parties and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In addition to any and all other relief to which a Party may be entitled, the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expert witness fees and costs, to the prevailing Party (should there be one) in any such arbitration.
(C) Waiver of Jury Trial; Individual Basis; Equitable Relief. The parties surrender and waive the right to submit any dispute to a court or jury, or to appeal to a higher court. The parties agree to arbitration on an individual basis. Where enforceable, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER DEALERS OR PERSONS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SITE USERS/DEALERS. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall prohibit either party from seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (without necessity of posting bond) injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo and/or avoid irreparable harm for which monetary damage would be insufficient.
(D) Where Held; Language; Governing Law. The place of arbitration shall be the Country of The Republic of Ireland, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. These Terms shall be governed by the Republic of Irelands Arbitration Act.
