Terms of Use

Last Updated: April 2025

Welcome to backlist24.eu. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (referred to as “you” or “User”) and the operators of backlist24.eu (referred to as “Backlist24”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing or using backlist24.eu (the “Platform” or “Service”), including posting any classified advertisement or other content, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, do not use the Platform.

These Terms apply globally, and you are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform is lawful in your jurisdiction. We may update these Terms from time to time, and will post the revised version with an updated effective date. Continued use of Backlist24 after any changes constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you have questions about these Terms, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using Backlist24, you affirm that you have reached the legal age of majority in your country or jurisdiction (for example, this could be 16, 18, 19, 21, etc., depending on local law) and that you are capable of entering into a binding contract. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case “you” will refer to that entity. You may not use the Platform if you have not reached the local age of majority, and Backlist24 does not knowingly provide services to minors as defined by local law. If you do not meet these eligibility requirements, you must not access or use the Service.

By accessing, browsing, or using any part of the Platform, or by clicking “Accept” or similar when this option is made available to you, you indicate your consent to these Terms and to our Privacy and Data Policy (see Section 9 below). These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other guidelines or policies posted on Backlist24, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Service. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

2. Description of the Service

backlist24.eu is an online platform that provides a global classifieds service, allowing users to post advertisements (“Listings” or “Ads”) and related content. Our Service enables third-party users to create and share listings for a wide range of categories (for example, goods for sale, job listings, services offered, personal ads, etc.), some of which may include adult-oriented categories intended for mature audiences. Users can browse, search, and respond to ads posted by others. We offer both free posting features and optional paid features such as highlighted or premium listings to increase an ad’s visibility.

Key Points about our Service:

• User-Generated Content: Backlist24 is a neutral hosting platform for content provided by users. We do not create the postings or ads; all content in listings is provided by the users of the Platform (“User Content”). We do not pre-screen or pre-approve all User Content before it is posted. This means that the responsibility for the content of listings lies solely with the user who provides it. We act as a passive conduit for the online distribution and publication of user-provided information.
• Global Availability: The Platform is accessible globally. We do not guarantee that any particular product, service, or content on the Platform is appropriate or available in any specific country or jurisdiction. Users are responsible for complying with all local laws regarding content, conduct, and transactions. We may, at our discretion, restrict access to some parts of the Service in certain countries if required by law or policy, but generally Backlist24 aims to be an international classifieds marketplace.
• No Agency: Backlist24 is not a party to any transactions or agreements that may occur between users. We do not buy, sell, or negotiate any products or services on behalf of users. Our Platform simply provides the venue for users to interact. Any actual contract or transaction for the sale of goods or services is strictly between the buyer and seller (or relevant parties) involved. Backlist24 is not an auctioneer, broker, dealer, or agent in any such transaction, and we have no fiduciary duties to any user.
• Modifications and Updates: We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any feature or part of the Service at any time, either temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. We are constantly improving our Platform, and that means we may add or remove functionalities or features. We will not be liable if for any reason any part of the Platform is unavailable or modified at any time. These Terms will apply to any updated or new features that we introduce.

By using the Service, you understand and acknowledge that user-generated listings are not reviewed by us in advance, and Backlist24 is not responsible for the nature, accuracy, quality, or legality of any content posted by users. However, as described below, we reserve the right to remove or moderate content that violates these Terms or applicable laws.

3. User Registration and Accounts

In order to post ads or use certain features of Backlist24, you may need to create a user account. During registration, and as you use the Platform, you agree to provide truthful, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as required (including a valid email address, phone number, city, ZIP/postal code, and any other information we might request to facilitate your use of the Platform).

Account Responsibilities:

• Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login credentials (username and password) associated with your account. You must not share your account credentials with others. You agree to notify Backlist24 immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorized use of your account or any breach of security. Backlist24 will not be liable for losses incurred by you due to unauthorized use of your account (whether with or without your knowledge). You may be held liable for any losses incurred by Backlist24 or others due to such unauthorized use.
• One Account Rule: You agree not to create multiple accounts for the purpose of abusing the Platform or to evade any restrictions placed on your original account. Each user (individual or entity) should normally maintain only one account unless expressly permitted by Backlist24. We reserve the right to reject or remove accounts that we suspect are duplicate or fake accounts.
• Account Information Updates: You promise to keep your account information up-to-date. This includes promptly updating your email, phone number or other contact information if it changes. Our primary mode of communication with you is via email. You agree that any notices or communications we send to the email address you provided will be deemed received by you. Please ensure you can receive emails from Backlist24 and that our emails are not filtered out.
• Account Termination: You have the right to terminate your account at any time if you no longer wish to use our Service. You may delete your listings or request account deletion by contacting support. Please note that even after your account is deleted, certain data (for example, transaction records or communications with us) may be retained as necessary to comply with legal obligations or for our legitimate business purposes (see Section 9 on Data retention). Additionally, any content you posted publicly (like ads or comments) might remain on our Platform for a period of time or may have been saved or copied by other users before deletion.

By registering and maintaining an account, you take full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you are accessing or using the Platform without registering (such as browsing ads without an account), you are still responsible for your activities and are bound by these Terms wherever applicable.

4. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

We strive to keep Backlist24 a safe, respectful, and lawful community. When you use our Platform, you agree to abide by all applicable laws and regulations, and to the following rules of conduct:

4.1. Prohibited Content:

You shall not post, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available any content (including ad listings, images, messages, or any user submissions) that:

• Illegal Goods/Services: Offers, promotes, or solicits any illegal goods or services. This includes postings about illicit drugs, unlawful weapons, stolen property, human trafficking, prostitution or solicitation of prostitution (even if legal in some jurisdictions, if it violates these Terms or local law, it is not allowed), or any other content that facilitates or furthers illegal activities.
• Adult or Obscene Material: Contains pornography, explicit sexual content, or obscene material in violation of law. Adult-oriented ads (such as personals or escort services) are permitted only in designated categories and must comply with all laws and these Terms. Explicit content involving minors, bestiality, or non-consensual acts is strictly prohibited. Any adult content must be legal, and any implication of exploitation or trafficking will result in immediate removal and potential reporting to law enforcement. Users posting in adult categories must ensure that all parties mentioned or depicted are 18 or older and that the content is legal in both the posting location and the location of potential viewers.
• Harassing or Hateful Content: Is harassing, threatening, or advocates harassment of another person or group. Hate speech or content that discriminates or encourages violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law is forbidden.
• Defamatory or Harmful Material: Contains defamatory, libelous, or knowingly false information that could harm the reputation of a person or business. Likewise, content that is malicious or intended to harm others (such as instructions for violent or fraudulent acts) is not allowed.
• Fraudulent or Deceptive Content: Intends to defraud or scam others. This includes get-rich-quick schemes, pyramid schemes, phishing scams, false advertising, or listings that are factually inaccurate or misleading (e.g., posting counterfeit items as genuine, or misrepresenting the condition or nature of a product or service).
• Intellectual Property Violations: Infringes any third party’s copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights. Do not post content (including text, photographs, graphics, software, etc.) that you do not have the legal right to use. For example, do not upload someone else’s images or text without permission. (See Section 12 on our Copyright Policy for reporting IP infringements).
• Privacy or Personal Data Violations: Contains personal or sensitive information about another person without their consent. This includes personal data such as phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, full names, financial information, social security/national ID numbers, etc., if that information is not meant to be public. You should also refrain from posting your own sensitive personal information in listings beyond what is required, as listings are public; if you do so, it is at your own risk.
• Malware or Harmful Code: Contains software viruses, malware, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, keystroke loggers, spyware, or any other computer code or files designed to disrupt, damage, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment. You must not upload any file or content that could harm another’s computer or network.
• Spam and Irrelevant Content: Constitutes unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, or pyramid schemes. Content should be relevant to the category and not repeatedly posted. Do not post the same ad (or substantially similar ads) in multiple locations or categories, and do not post ads for the sole purpose of redirecting users to another website (no traffic diversion or click-bait listings).

4.2. Prohibited Activities:

You further agree not to engage in any of the following activities on or in connection with Backlist24:

• Impersonation and Misrepresentation: You will not impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity. You will not create accounts under false or fraudulent pretenses. Misleading others about your identity, qualifications, or the nature of what you are offering or seeking through the Platform is forbidden.
• Interference with the Platform: You will not interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform, other user accounts, or computer systems or networks connected to Backlist24. This includes not engaging in any activity that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure, not launching any kind of denial of service (DoS) attack, and not using any device, software, or routine (such as bots, crawlers, scrapers, or automated scripts) to retrieve, index, “scrape,” data mine or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Service without our express written consent.
• Avoiding Measures: You will not attempt to circumvent any technological measure (such as CAPTCHA, access controls, or rate limits) implemented by Backlist24 to regulate or restrict access to the Platform. Any attempt to decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from the Platform is prohibited (except to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this limitation).
• Unauthorized Access & Data Harvesting: You shall not attempt to access areas/features of the Platform that you are not authorized to access, and you shall not collect any information about other users (including email addresses or phone numbers) for unauthorized purposes. Harvesting contact information of our users for the purpose of sending unsolicited communications (spam) is strictly forbidden.
• Third-Party Posting Tools (“Posting Agents”): Unless expressly authorized by Backlist24, you agree not to use any automated system or third-party service to post ads on your behalf or to otherwise manipulate the Platform. Using robots or posting services that automatically post content without individual ad creation by you is not permitted. Similarly, you may not sell or distribute any software or tools that are designed to automate the posting or removal of content on Backlist24, or to otherwise interact with Backlist24’s systems without our permission.
• No Abuse or Stalking: You will not use information on our Platform to harass, abuse, or harm another person. This includes refraining from stalking behaviors or attempting to contact someone who has asked not to be contacted. If you receive a communication from another user indicating they do not wish further contact, you must respect that request.
• Compliance with Laws: You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using our Service. This includes laws relating to privacy, intellectual property, contract, tort, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, export, and any other relevant regulations. If a particular type of content or transaction is illegal in your jurisdiction, you may not use Backlist24 for that purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure that your activities (including posting and responding to ads, and any transactions that follow) are lawful where you are located and where the other party is located.

4.3. Moderation and Enforcement:

Backlist24 reserves the right (but is not obligated) to monitor, screen, and/or remove any User Content or conduct on the Platform at any time for any reason at our discretion. If we determine (or receive a credible report) that you have posted content or engaged in conduct that violates these Terms or applicable law, we may take any action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to: removing or modifying the content in question, warning you, suspending or terminating your account, denying access to the Platform (temporarily or permanently), and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities if the content involves potential criminal activity. We also reserve the right to cooperate with law enforcement and governmental agencies in investigations of alleged illegal activities related to the use of the Platform.

4.4. Reporting Misconduct:

If you believe a user or their content violates these Terms or is otherwise engaging in harmful or illegal behavior, please report it to us at [email protected]. We will review reports and take appropriate action as necessary. While we may not respond to every report, we take violations seriously and appreciate the community’s help in keeping Backlist24 safe and lawful.

5. Listings and Posting Rules

Because Backlist24 is a classifieds platform, we have specific rules and guidelines for creating and maintaining listings or advertisements:

• Accuracy of Listings: All information you provide in a listing (including title, description, category, price, location, and any images) must be truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge. Do not post content that is deliberately misleading or deceptive. For example, if you’re listing an item for sale, it should be a real item you intend to sell, described accurately (including its condition, age, defects, etc.). If you are posting a job or service, describe it honestly, including any requirements or fees.
• Proper Categorization: Post your ad in the most appropriate category and geographic location. You agree not to miscategorize your listing or to post the same item or service in multiple categories or cities (no “cross-posting” spam). For instance, if you are offering a car for sale in New York, do not post that same ad in multiple other cities. The Platform may have rules limiting the number of active similar listings you can have at one time; you must adhere to those rules to keep the platform useful and uncluttered.
• No Duplicates or Flooding: Do not post duplicate ads or content with minimal variations. Creating numerous listings with substantially similar content (for example, the same ad copied to many regions, or the same description with slight changes) is prohibited and may be considered spam. We may remove duplicate or excessively posted content and may suspend accounts that engage in such behavior.
• Expiry and Removal: Listings on Backlist24 may expire after a certain period (for example, 30 or 45 days) unless renewed, depending on the category or region. We reserve the right to expire or remove old listings to keep content fresh. It is your responsibility to renew or repost if your item is still available and allowed. Additionally, if your item is sold or your offer is no longer available, you should remove or mark the listing as sold (if such feature exists) promptly to avoid confusion or continued inquiries.
• Images and Media: If you upload photographs or other media as part of your listing, you must have the right to use those images. Do not use images that you copied from the internet or from another person’s listing unless you have permission. The images should be relevant to the item or service offered. Graphic or shocking images that are not necessary for the ad (especially in non-adult categories) are not allowed. In adult service listings, images must not depict nudity or sexual activities that violate our content standards (for example, no explicit pornography, and absolutely no images of any person under 18). We may blur or remove images that we find inappropriate or in violation of these Terms.
• External Links: In general, listings should contain all relevant information within the post itself. If you include external links (to personal websites, portfolios, additional photos, etc.), ensure that the content on those external sites also complies with our standards (no illegal or malicious content). We reserve the right to remove or disable hyperlinks in listings if we suspect they lead to scams, malware, or content that violates our policies.
• Language and Local Laws: Because we operate globally, you may post content in various languages. However, all content must still comply with these Terms. If you post in a language that our team cannot readily review and we suspect it may violate our rules, we may require a translation or simply remove it. Also, be mindful of local legal requirements: for example, certain advertisements (like those for job postings or housing) might require specific disclosures or cannot discriminate based on certain criteria by law — you are solely responsible for complying with any such local regulations when you post a listing.
• No Pre-Approval: Backlist24 does not generally pre-approve listings. Your content goes live directly when you post or shortly thereafter. However, we reserve the right to employ automated filters or limited review for certain high-risk categories (such as jobs or personals) to screen for obvious violations (e.g., known scam phrases or banned content). Even if your listing initially passes through, it may later be reviewed and removed if found to violate these Terms or if we receive complaints.

By posting a listing, you understand that you are publishing that content to the public. Your listing (including contact information you provide in the listing) can be viewed by anyone with internet access. Please exercise discretion in what personal information you include in your listings. You are solely responsible for the content you publish and any consequences that arise from it.

6. Fees and Paid Services

Backlist24 offers basic use of the Platform free of charge, including standard ad postings in most categories. However, we also provide optional premium features or services (collectively, “Paid Services”) for a fee. These may include, for example, featured listings, highlighted ads, sponsored placement, or other benefits designed to increase the visibility of your content or enhance your experience on the Platform.

6.1. Payment of Fees:

If you choose to use a Paid Service, you agree to pay any applicable fees as described at the time of purchase. Fees might be denominated in U.S. Dollars or another currency; in all cases, you are responsible for any currency conversion fees or bank charges if applicable. All fees are exclusive of taxes (unless stated otherwise). If any taxes (such as VAT or sales tax) apply, we may charge those in addition or include them in the price as required by law. You are responsible for paying any taxes applicable to your use of the Paid Services or your transactions through the Platform.

6.2. Payment Methods:

Payment for Paid Services is typically processed through third-party payment processors (for example, credit card processors, PayPal,Btcpay,Any Crypto, etc.). By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and you authorize our designated payment processor to charge the full amount of the fee to the payment method you designate. We do not collect or store full payment card details on our own servers; all such transactions are handled securely by our payment partners. Transactions may be subject to the payment processor’s terms and conditions in addition to these Terms.

6.3. No Refunds Policy:

All fees for Paid Services are generally non-refundable, even if your listing is removed from the Platform before its scheduled end date. For example, if you pay to promote an ad for 7 days but we remove the ad after 2 days due to a violation of these Terms, or if you decide to withdraw the ad early, you will not be entitled to a refund for the unused period. We therefore urge you to carefully follow our content guidelines to avoid removals.

In cases where the Paid Service cannot be delivered due to an error on our part (for instance, a technical issue that prevents your ad from being displayed as promised), you may contact us at [email protected]. We will review such situations on a case-by-case basis and, at our discretion, may provide a refund or credit. If you are in a jurisdiction that provides certain cancellation rights for online services (such as some consumer protection laws in the EU that allow withdrawal from online purchases within 14 days), please notify us promptly to exercise those rights; note that if you already received the service (e.g., the ad was published with premium placement), you may lose the right to cancel as the service has been fully performed.

6.4. Feature Duration and Changes:

Each Paid Service may have a specified duration or usage limit (for example, a featured ad might run for a certain number of days). After that period, your ad may revert to a normal listing unless you purchase the feature again. We reserve the right to change our Paid Services offerings and pricing at any time. If changes affect existing paid features (for instance, if we discontinue a feature), we may offer a substitute or prorated refund at our discretion for any unused portion. We will endeavor to notify users of significant changes to paid offerings.

6.5. Free Trial or Promotions:

Occasionally, Backlist24 may offer special promotions, credits, discounts, or free trials for Paid Services. Such offers are subject to the specific terms of the promotion. Free trials are available only to new users or only for designated services and may be subject to limitations. We reserve the right to charge (or not charge) for any feature for any user and to change our promotions at any time.

6.6. Chargebacks and Disputes:

If we receive a chargeback or payment dispute (for example, from your credit card company or bank) related to your payment for Paid Services, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and any current listings immediately. To reinstate your account, we may require you to repay the disputed fees and any associated chargeback fees incurred by us. Please contact support to resolve any billing issues; we prefer to work out a solution directly rather than through payment disputes.

By purchasing any Paid Service, you agree to these fee terms and understand that non-payment or violation of these terms may result in the removal of your content or suspension of your account. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Paid Services deliver their intended benefits, but we do not guarantee any particular outcome (such as the sale of your item or the number of views your ad will receive).

7. License Grant and Intellectual Property Rights

7.1. Backlist24’s Intellectual Property:

All content and materials on the Platform (excluding User Content as defined below) are the property of Backlist24 or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. This includes the Backlist24 name and logo, the design, layout, look and feel of the website and app, compilation of listings, text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, and software (collectively, the “Backlist24 Materials”).

This license does not allow you to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, or transmit any of the Backlist24 Materials except as enabled by the features of our Service (such as sharing a listing link for personal use) or as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing. You must not use any trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, or domain names that are confusingly similar to those of Backlist24. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Backlist24 and its licensors. You acknowledge that “Backlist24” and any associated logos or designs are trademarks of our Platform. You have no right to use them without our prior written consent.

7.2. Your Content and License to Backlist24:

Backlist24 does not claim ownership of the text, images, photos, videos, sounds, or any other materials or content that you post to the Platform (“User Content”). You retain all ownership rights in the content that you create and post.

However, by submitting or posting User Content on or through Backlist24, you hereby grant Backlist24 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content in connection with the Service and Backlist24’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Platform (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. For example, this license allows us to display your ads on our site and mobile apps, to crop or re-size photos you uploaded to fit the site’s layout if necessary, to use snippets of your listings in marketing materials or social media to promote the Platform, or to make backups of content on our servers. This license you grant to us is for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. It also includes the right for us to authorize other users of the Platform to view and access your content (for example, other users can view your listing and share it with others). You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant this license for any content you submit. You agree that no compensation will be paid for our use of your content under this license.

7.3. User Content Representations:

You are solely responsible for the User Content you post. By posting any content, you represent and warrant that: (a) you either are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property rights to the content you post, or you have all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Backlist24 to use the content as specified in these Terms; (b) the content complies with these Terms (particularly Section 4 on Prohibited Content) and all applicable laws; and (c) posting your content on the Platform will not infringe on the rights of any person or entity, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights. You agree to pay any royalties, fees, or any other monies owed to any person by reason of any content you post through the Platform.

7.4. No Endorsement or Verification:

Backlist24 does not endorse any User Content or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein. We are not required to pre-screen or monitor User Content, but we reserve the right to do so. Under no circumstances will Backlist24 be liable for any User Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any User Content posted, emailed, or otherwise made available via the Service. Any use or reliance on any content obtained through the Platform is at your own risk. We do not guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any user postings. The views expressed by other users on the Platform do not represent our views or values.

7.5. Feedback:

If you send us any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other information relating to Backlist24 or our services (“Feedback”), you acknowledge that such Feedback is not confidential and you authorize us to use that Feedback without restriction and without payment to you. Feedback is also considered a form of user submission. By providing Feedback, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use and incorporate your Feedback in any way, including to improve the Service or create new products and services.

8. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is important to us. This Section outlines how Backlist24 collects, uses, and protects personal data, and it incorporates our Privacy Policy by reference. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and use of information as described here and in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our data practices, please do not use the Service.

8.1. Data We Collect:

In order to provide the Service, Backlist24 may collect and process certain personal information from you:

• Account and Contact Data: When you register or post an ad, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, city, ZIP/postal code, and country. We use your email to verify your account and as the primary means of communication (for example, to send confirmations, respond to support inquiries, or send notifications about your listings). We use your phone number if provided to verify accounts (e.g., through SMS verification) or to facilitate contacts between buyers and sellers when you choose to display or share your number in an ad. Location information (city/ZIP) is used to tag your listings with a location and to allow users to search by location.
• Listing Content: Any information you include in your ad listing (including the description, title, images, pricing, and any contact information you include in the ad description itself) becomes public information on the Platform. Please do not include information in your public listing that you do not want to be publicly available. We cannot control how other users will use that public information. For instance, if you put your email or phone in the body of your ad, you may receive unsolicited contacts from third parties. We recommend using the designated contact fields which we may obfuscate or protect (for example, we might hide part of your email and provide a contact form instead, to reduce spam).
• Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information when you use the Platform, such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, access times, pages viewed, and the page you visited before navigating to our site. We may use cookies or similar technologies to collect such data. This information helps us administer and improve the Service, understand user preferences, and enhance user experience. It may also be used for security (e.g., to detect and prevent fraudulent or suspicious activity) and for analytics.
• Messages and Correspondence: If you communicate with other users through our Platform’s messaging system (if available) or if users send inquiries about your listing via a contact form we provide, we may process those communications and may monitor them for compliance with our Terms and for trust & safety purposes. If you contact us (customer support inquiries, reports of problems, or abuse reports), we will keep a record of that communication.
• Cookies and Similar Tech: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to store user preferences, authenticate users, and collect usage analytics. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but note that some features of the Service might not function properly without cookies. For more details, refer to our Cookie Policy (if available) or contact us.

8.2. How We Use Your Data:

We use personal data for the following general purposes:

• Service Provision: To provide and maintain the Platform’s services, such as publishing your listings, enabling searches, facilitating communication between users (for example, if a buyer wants to contact a seller), and processing transactions for paid features. This includes displaying your public profile or username in connection with your postings.
• Communication: To communicate with you about your account, listings, replies, and updates to our policies or features. For example, we may send you email notifications when someone inquires about your ad, or reminders about listings about to expire, or important safety notices or policy changes. We may also send promotional communications about features or events; you have the option to opt-out of marketing emails.
• Improvement and Personalization: To analyze usage trends and user preferences in order to improve the Platform. This can help us fix technical issues, develop new features, and tailor the content you see (for instance, showing you relevant ads or suggestions). We may use aggregated, non-identifiable data for research or marketing (e.g., “X number of listings posted in Y city this month”).
• Safety and Compliance: To promote a safe environment by detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, security incidents, and other harmful activity. We might use automated systems to screen content for violations (as noted earlier) and use personal info (like phone or email) to block known spammers or bad actors. We also use data as necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as keeping records for financial reporting, or responding to lawful requests by authorities.

8.3. Data Sharing and Disclosure:

Backlist24 is not in the business of selling your personal information to third-party marketers. We share personal data only in limited situations, such as:

• With Other Users: When you post an ad, the content of that ad and any contact information you choose to provide (or that is provided as part of your public profile) will be visible to others. If users obtain your contact info through a listing and reach out to you, that is a direct interaction between you and the other user. Similarly, if you as a buyer contact a seller, your chosen method of communication (e.g., your email if used, or if our system relays messages) will be shared with that seller.
• Service Providers: We employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (for example, payment processors to handle paid feature transactions, cloud hosting services to host our data, email service providers to send emails on our behalf, or SMS services to send verification codes). These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. We strive to use reputable providers and to share only what is necessary for their function.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good-faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request (such as a court order or subpoena); (b) enforce these Terms, including investigation of potential violations; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of Backlist24, its users, or the public as required or permitted by law. This could include sharing information with law enforcement or government agencies in cases of criminal investigations or threats to public safety.
• Business Transfers: If Backlist24 (or substantially all of its assets) is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale, reorganization, or asset transfer, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We will endeavor to ensure the successor honors the commitments we have made in these Terms and our Privacy Policy. We will notify users (for example, via a prominent notice on our site or an email) of any such change in ownership or control of personal information.

8.4. International Data Transfers:

Backlist24 is a global service. The personal data we collect may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers. These may include jurisdictions that do not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with data transfer restrictions, we will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards for data transferred outside of those regions, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses approved by the EU, or ensuring the recipient is certified under data protection frameworks such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (if applicable) or other mechanisms.

8.5. Your Data Rights:

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. For example, under the GDPR (for users in the EEA, UK, and equivalent regimes):

• You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and to receive an explanation of how we use it and who we share it with.
• You have the right to rectification of inaccurate personal data and to have incomplete data completed.
• You have the right to erasure (or “right to be forgotten”) of your personal data, meaning you can request that we delete the personal information we have about you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, we may retain data if needed for legal obligations or establishing or defending legal claims).
• You have the right to restrict processing of your data or to object to certain processing activities. For instance, you can ask us to stop using your data for direct marketing, and we will comply.
• Where applicable, you have the right to data portability, which allows you to obtain a copy of your data in a common format and to transfer it to another data controller.
• If our processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, you can contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests (to protect your privacy). We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe as required by law. If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy issue, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for EU users, this would be your country’s supervisory authority).

8.6. Data Retention:

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we may keep account information while your account is active and for a period of time after you close your account to comply with law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Usage data that is aggregated or anonymized may be retained longer for analytics but without being identifiable.

8.7. GDPR and Children:

8.7. GDPR and Children:

As noted, our Service is not intended for individuals under the local age of majority, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are under the age of consent for data processing in your country (for example, under 16 in the EU, depending on member state law), you should not use our Service or provide any personal data. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate parental consent, we will delete that data. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have provided personal data to us should contact us promptly so we can remove it.

8.8. Additional Privacy Information:

For more detailed information about how we handle data, please refer to our full Privacy Policy (if provided separately). These Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy by reference. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding personal data, the Privacy Policy will prevail regarding how we handle personal data, while these Terms will prevail in terms of your obligations and our liability limitations.

9. Third-Party Content and Interactions

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services, third-party content embedded in listings, or display third-party advertisements not controlled by Backlist24. Additionally, your interactions (communications, transactions, or dealings) are often with other independent users or third parties, not with Backlist24 itself. This section clarifies that relationship:

• Third-Party Links and Ads: Backlist24 or users may provide links to external websites or resources (for example, a listing might include a link to a personal webpage, or we may present banner ads or sponsorships). You acknowledge that Backlist24 has no control over and is not responsible for the availability, content, products, services, or policies of any third-party websites or resources. We do not endorse any advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such external sites or resources. If you choose to click on any third-party links or engage with third-party ads, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit. Backlist24 expressly disclaims any liability for any harm, losses, or damages incurred by you as a result of your interaction with third-party sites or content.
• Third-Party Services: If you use a third-party service that interacts with Backlist24 (for example, a tool that helps you post ads, or an aggregator that shows our listings, or a payment service for handling transactions between users), any such use is subject to both these Terms and the terms of the third-party provider. Backlist24 is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any third-party service provider. If you have a dispute or issue arising from a third-party service (for instance, if a payment processor fails to transfer funds or a posting tool malfunctions), you must resolve that issue with that third party.
• User Interactions and Transactions: All interactions or dealings between users of the Platform (including but not limited to communications, negotiations, transactions, or disputes between buyers, sellers, prospective dating partners, etc.) are solely between the users involved. Backlist24 is not a party to any agreement or transaction between users, whether that transaction is conducted via the Platform or outside it. For example, if you respond to a classified ad and then purchase an item from another user, any contract of sale exists only between you and that user. If you meet someone through a personals ad, any relationship or arrangement is strictly between you and that person. Backlist24 does not mediate, endorse, or guarantee any transaction or interaction. We do not verify the identity, background, or trustworthiness of users. You assume all risk when dealing with other users. We strongly encourage you to exercise common sense and good judgment, for instance:
  • When buying or selling, try to meet in person in a public place and ensure you are satisfied with the goods before exchanging money.
  • For high-value transactions, consider using secure payment methods or escrow services.
  • When meeting someone from the personals or community sections, inform a friend or family member of your plans and meet in a public place first.
  • Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true, requests for advance payments or wire transfers, or any party asking for your sensitive personal or financial information.
  Backlist24 will not be responsible for any outcome or damages arising from interactions between users, including but not limited to personal injuries, emotional distress, financial loss, or any other harm, whether foreseeable or not.
• No Warranty for User Offers: Any items, services, or opportunities listed by users are provided by the user, not by Backlist24. We make no warranty that any product or service description provided by a user is accurate, that any item will meet your expectations, or that the other party will perform as promised. It is not possible for Backlist24 to screen or evaluate the quality or legality of the offers made by users. All warranties and claims regarding goods or services are strictly between users. If a user provides any kind of warranty or return policy in their listing, that is between you and that user, not backed by Backlist24.
• Disputes Between Users: Because we are not involved in user-to-user dealings, you release Backlist24 (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates) from any claims, demands, and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with disputes between you and any other user or third party. This includes, for example, disputes arising from misunderstandings, breaches of a deal, fraudulent transactions, or personal harms. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to try to mediate or assist in disputes at our discretion, but such actions do not make us liable for the outcome. In some cases, if a user is reported for fraudulent or harmful behavior, we may in our discretion suspend or terminate that account to prevent further harm, but we are not responsible for providing any compensation to any party.
• Third-Party Rights: Nothing in these Terms is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties or persons other than you and Backlist24. However, the disclaimer and limitation of liability in these Terms extends to our third-party service providers and partners to the extent they would be liable through your use of the Service (and such providers are intended to be beneficiaries of those disclaimers and limitations).

10. Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (DMCA)

Backlist24 respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable intellectual property laws. We also reserve the right to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

10.1. Reporting Copyright Infringement:

If you believe that any content on Backlist24 infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please send a written notice to our designated copyright agent at [email protected] with the subject “DMCA Notice” (or “Copyright Infringement Notice”). Your notice should include the following information (this is to comply with 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) under the DMCA):

• A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are infringed, you can provide a representative list.
• A description of the content on our Platform that you claim is infringing your rights, sufficient for us to locate the material (e.g., the URL of the listing or image in question).
• Your contact information (name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address) so that we can reach you regarding your notice.
• A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by you (the copyright owner), your agent, or the law (e.g., it is not fair use or licensed).
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the copyright (or IP right) or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
• An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right that is allegedly infringed. If sending via email, a typed name at the end of the notice or a scanned signature is acceptable.

Once we receive a valid infringement notice, we will review it and, if appropriate, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We may also notify the user who posted the content (the “accused” infringer) of the takedown and provide them with a copy of the notice. Please note: Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly submits false or materially misleading information in a notice of infringement may be subject to liability for damages. Do not make false claims.

10.2. Counter-Notification:

If you are a user whose content was removed due to a copyright (or other IP) notice, and you believe that your content was wrongly removed (for example, because you believe you have rights to use the material, or the content does not infringe the claimant’s rights), you may send us a counter-notice. A counter-notification should be sent to [email protected] with the subject “DMCA Counter-Notice”, and should include:

• Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location (URL) where it appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where you reside (or if outside the U.S., then the jurisdiction of the courts in the location of our headquarters or chosen jurisdiction) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notice (or an agent of that person).
• Your electronic or physical signature (again, simply typing your name at the end of the email can be considered a signature).

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward a copy to the original complaining party informing them that we may restore the removed content after 10 business days from our receipt of the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the complaining party that they have filed a court action seeking an order to restrain the user from engaging in the infringing activity. This is the process specified by the DMCA​. Please be aware that filing a false counter-notice (for example, claiming lawful use of content when you know you do not have such rights) can also have legal consequences, including potential perjury charges.

10.3. Repeat Infringers:

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Backlist24 has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than once and/or had User Content removed from the Service more than once due to infringement. If your account is terminated for repeat infringement, you are prohibited from creating a new account on Backlist24 under any name without our explicit permission.

10.4. Trademark and Other IP:

If you believe a user’s content infringes your trademark or other intellectual property (besides copyright), please send a detailed notice to our support email with information similar to the above (what right is infringed, what content is infringing, basis of your claim of rights, etc.). While the DMCA specifically addresses copyright, we take other intellectual property complaints seriously as well and will review them. We may require additional documentation to verify trademark rights (like a registration certificate or proof of use). We will respond to such complaints in good faith and may remove content that is clearly infringing or violating someone’s rights. However, please note that user postings that reference trademarks in a lawful way (such as nominative fair use, comparative advertising, or resale of trademarked goods) might not constitute infringement. We are not a court of law, but we aim to act fairly and expeditiously when legitimate issues are raised.

11. Termination of Use

Both you and Backlist24 have the right to terminate or end the relationship under these Terms, as follows:

11.1. Your Right to Terminate:

You may stop using the Platform at any time. If you wish to delete your account (and any associated personal data not posted publicly), you can do so by contacting us at [email protected] or using any account deletion function we provide. Termination of your account will be effective once processed by us. Keep in mind that terminating your account will not automatically remove the content you have already posted; your public postings may remain visible unless you delete them before termination. If you need assistance removing specific content after account deletion, contact support and we will attempt to accommodate if possible (except to the extent that we are required to retain certain data for legal reasons, or the content has been recorded by third parties).

11.2. Our Right to Terminate or Suspend:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service (or certain features of the Service) at any time, with or without notice, and with or without cause. Cause for termination may include (but is not limited to):

• Breaches or violations of these Terms or other incorporated policies (e.g., posting prohibited content, engaging in prohibited activities, or violating others’ rights).
• Requests by law enforcement or other government agencies.
• Extended periods of inactivity (for example, if an account remains dormant for a very long period, we might deactivate it).
• Technical or security issues or problems, fraudulent or illegal activities by you, or if we suspect that your use of the account has been compromised or used for unauthorized purposes.
• Non-payment of any fees owed for Paid Services, if applicable.
• Any behavior that, in our sole discretion, is harmful to the Platform or other users, or to our business interests.

When feasible, and if the cause is something you might remedy, we may issue you a warning or notice before terminating, but we are not obliged to do so.

11.3. Effect of Termination:

Upon termination of your account, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You will no longer have access to account features such as posting new ads or viewing any user-only areas. Any content you have posted may be deleted or, if it doesn’t violate terms, we may choose to archive it for record-keeping. You should note that content that was public (like ads) might still be accessed via cached pages or if re-published by others, beyond our control. We encourage you to save any information you need from your own postings or messages prior to terminating your account. Any licenses you granted to Backlist24 with respect to your content (Section 7.2) shall survive such termination to the extent necessary for us to enforce our rights, defend against legal claims regarding content you posted, or to retain server backups and logs. However, if your content was removed from public areas, we will not re-display it (except as required for legal processes or disputes).

11.4. No Right to Service Continuation:

Backlist24 shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service or deletion of your account or content, provided such termination is in accordance with these Terms. After termination, you will not be entitled to any refund of fees (except where required by law or at our discretion in certain pre-paid service cases as described earlier). Termination or suspension of an account does not waive or affect any right or relief to which Backlist24 may be entitled, at law or in equity, for your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

11.5. Reinstatement:

If your account was terminated and you believe this was a mistake or you have remedied the issue that led to termination, you may contact [email protected] to request reconsideration. We are not obligated to restore accounts and do so at our sole discretion. Under certain circumstances (such as illegal activities or repeat serious violations), we will not consider reinstatement.

Even after your use of the Service is terminated, certain provisions of these Terms will continue to apply. All the following sections will survive termination: User Content License (Section 7.2) to the extent of past content use, Privacy obligations and our rights (Section 8), Disclaimers (Section 12), Limitations of Liability (Section 13), Indemnification (Section 14), and the Governing Law & Dispute sections (Section 16), as well as any other provision that by its nature should survive termination.

12. Disclaimers of Warranties

Use at Your Own Risk: You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of Backlist24 and any content, information, or services provided on or through the Platform is at your sole risk. The Platform (including the website, mobile applications, and all content, features, and services provided therein) is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Backlist24 and its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors disclaim any and all warranties and representations, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Implied Warranties: Any and all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not guarantee that the Platform will meet your requirements or expectations, or that it will result in any specific outcome for you (such as the sale of your items or success in finding a job or service).
• Service Availability: We make no warranty that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any defects or errors will be corrected. We do not warrant that our site or servers are free of viruses or other harmful components, though we take reasonable measures to secure our systems. Temporary interruptions in service may occur from time to time (for example, due to maintenance, updates, or network issues). We do not guarantee the duration or stability of the connection or that the Platform will always be accessible.
• Content Accuracy: We do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information or content provided by users on the Platform. This includes the description of items, the identity or credentials of other users, or any advice, opinion, offer, or other content that someone provides. Any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Service is obtained at your own discretion and risk; you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or mobile device or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.
• Quality and Safety of Goods/Services: Backlist24 makes no guarantees regarding the quality, safety, legality, or value of any goods, services, or information obtained through listings on our Platform. We do not personally examine or test any items or verify the statements of users. Any transactions you engage in with other users are at your own risk. We do not warranty any item purchased via the Platform, nor do we provide any insurance or other guarantees.
• User Conduct: We make no warranty regarding the conduct of any users or third parties on the Platform or their compatibility with any current or future users. You may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable despite our rules, and we are not liable for such content (though you can report it and we will address per our policies). We do not guarantee that all users are who they claim to be. Interactions through the internet have inherent risks, and you should be careful and exercise common sense.
• Third-Party Integrations: If our Platform integrates or links with third-party services (such as mapping services, payment gateways, login authentication providers, etc.), we make no warranty for those services. Any issues arising from those external services are beyond our control, and we disclaim liability for those.

No Creation of Warranty: No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Backlist24 or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you in full. In such cases, the above exclusions will apply to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, under no circumstances shall Backlist24 or its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, or licensors, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages (even if Backlist24 has been advised of the possibility of such damages), arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Platform or the content therein. This includes, without limitation, any damages resulting from:

• The use or the inability to use the Service;
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data;
• Statements or conduct of any user or third party on the Platform;
• Any goods or services obtained or transactions entered into through the Platform;
• Your reliance on content or information obtained from the Platform;
• The cost of procurement of substitute goods and services;
• Lost profits, lost business, loss of data, or any other intangible losses;
• Personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising from interactions with other users of the Platform (online or offline);
• Any other matter relating to the Platform or any third-party site or service accessed through the Platform.

In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Backlist24 is not liable for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of the Platform or your account or the information contained therein. We are also not liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any obligation that is caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as an act of God, war, terrorism, government restriction, natural disaster, power outage, or internet or telecommunications failure.

Cap on Liability: To the extent that any liability may be imposed on Backlist24 notwithstanding the above (for example, because a jurisdiction does not allow full exclusion of liability for certain types of damages), the total liability of Backlist24 to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount (if any) you have paid to Backlist24 for any paid services or features in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100 (one hundred U.S. dollars). If applicable law does not allow the limitation of liability as stated above, the cap will be the minimum amount that such law permits.

User Responsibility: You specifically acknowledge that Backlist24 is not liable for User Content or for the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party, and that you alone assume the risk of harm or damage from the foregoing. You agree that if you are dissatisfied with the Service, or do not agree with any portion of these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using Backlist24.

Exceptions: Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for certain types of liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. This may include (depending on jurisdiction) liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. However, to the extent that applicable law allows limitation of such liability, the limitations and exclusions above shall apply. Because some countries or states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Backlist24 and its parent company, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, causes of action, debts, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:

• Your Content: Any User Content or material that you submit, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Platform, including any claims that such content infringes, misappropriates, or violates the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party, or that such content is defamatory or harmful.
• Your Use of the Service: Your activities in connection with the Platform, including but not limited to your access to or use of the Service, your interactions with other users, your buying or selling of goods/services through the Platform, and any products or services that you advertise or sell (for example, claims by third parties for product liability, breach of warranty, or false advertising related to goods you sold via Backlist24).
• Your Violation of Law or Rights: Your violation of any law, rule, regulation, or the rights of any third party in connection with your use of the Service. This includes, for example, any illegal transactions you conduct via the Platform, any misuse of personal data of other users, or any incidents like harassment or stalking claims brought by someone against you due to interactions initiated on Backlist24.
• Your Breach of These Terms: Any breach or alleged breach by you of any provision of these Terms or of any certification, covenant, representation, or warranty you made under this agreement. For instance, if you provide false information, misuse the Platform, or fail to fulfill obligations to another user that leads to a dispute implicating Backlist24.

If we (Backlist24) are faced with a legal claim by a third party due to your actions or content, we reserve the right to handle our defense as we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, and you agree to cooperate fully with us. We may choose to settle any claim, and such settlement will not relieve you of your indemnification obligations.

Notice and Participation: We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim or demand that is subject to your indemnification obligation. We may at our discretion allow you to participate in the defense or settlement of the claim, but doing so will not change your obligations to indemnify us. You must not settle any claim in a manner that affects the rights or obligations of Backlist24 without our prior written approval. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of your account or the cessation of your use of the Service. Essentially, even if you leave the Platform, if an issue arises later that stems from your time using Backlist24, you may still be responsible for costs or damages.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Backlist24 is a global service without a fixed jurisdiction of registration mentioned here, but for legal clarity, we set forth the following:

15.1. Governing Law:

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and except as provided below, these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim (contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with these Terms or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction of the owner/operator of Backlist24 (without regard to its conflict of law principles). In the event that the owning entity is not specified, then for purposes of governing law, you agree that these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of [Example: Delaware, USA], or if that jurisdiction is not appropriate, then a jurisdiction that we will designate, again without regard to conflict of law principles. However, we recognize that mandatory consumer protection laws or data protection laws of your country of residence might provide you with certain rights or remedies that cannot be waived by contract. In such cases, nothing in these Terms will deprive you of the protections of the laws of the country where you habitually reside that are applicable to you. For instance, if you reside in a country of the European Union, you may have rights to bring claims in your home country and under your local consumer protection laws.

15.2. Jurisdiction and Venue:

Subject to any specific arbitration provision below (if any) or any overriding legal rights you have, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, that is not resolved by informal resolution shall be settled in the courts of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise required by applicable law (such as an exclusive jurisdiction mandated by a consumer protection law), you agree that any legal proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute will be brought exclusively in the courts located in [Example: Delaware, USA], and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. We and you agree to waive any objections to the jurisdiction of these courts, whether on the basis of inconvenient forum or otherwise.

15.3. Informal Dispute Resolution:

Before filing any formal legal action, we encourage you to first contact us at [email protected] to discuss the issue. Many user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by informal means. You and Backlist24 agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

15.4. Arbitration (if applicable):

At present, Backlist24 does not mandate arbitration for user disputes. However, we reserve the right in the future to establish an arbitration process for certain disputes (for example, for users in the United States, we might include a binding arbitration clause under the Federal Arbitration Act for disputes under a certain amount). If such a clause is added in a future revision of the Terms, it would be clearly communicated and would provide you an opportunity to opt-out if required by law. For now, disputes will be handled in court as per Section 15.2 unless otherwise agreed by both parties to pursue alternative dispute resolution.

15.5. Class Action Waiver:

To the extent permitted by law, you and Backlist24 agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both you and Backlist24 agree, no judge or court may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. (If this class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then it may not apply and the dispute will be decided by the court.)

15.6. Timing of Claims:

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred. This means that if you have a dispute, you must raise it within 12 months, otherwise it’s waived. (This one-year limitation may not apply to you if you reside in a jurisdiction that does not permit time bars of this nature for consumer contracts.)

16. Miscellaneous Provisions

16.1. No Agency or Partnership:

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created between you and Backlist24 by these Terms or by your use of the Service. Both parties are independent contractors. You are not authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of Backlist24.

16.2. Assignment:

You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our express prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate, a successor in interest (in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale or similar transaction), or any other party at our discretion without your consent. These Terms will inure to the benefit of and bind the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.3. Entire Agreement:

These Terms, together with any other legal notices or policies we publish on the Platform (such as our Privacy Policy and any applicable supplemental terms for certain features or regions), constitute the entire agreement between you and Backlist24 concerning the Service. They supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us with respect to the Service. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.

16.4. Severability:

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remainder of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. In other words, the invalid portion shall be severed, and the rest of the agreement remains valid and enforceable. If a provision is held invalid in a particular jurisdiction, it will remain in effect in others to the extent permitted by law.

16.5. No Waiver:

Our failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision by Backlist24 on one occasion shall not prevent us from enforcing that provision or any other provision on a later occasion. Similarly, no single or partial exercise of a right or remedy by us precludes further exercise of any other right or remedy.

16.6. Headings and Interpretation:

Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Words like “including” shall be interpreted without limitation to the context (meaning “including without limitation”). These Terms were written in English, which shall be the controlling language for all purposes. If these Terms are translated into another language, the English version shall prevail in the event of any conflict between versions.

16.7. Contact and Notices:

All notices or communications to Backlist24 under these Terms (including questions, reports of violations, or legal disputes) should be sent via email to [email protected]. We may also provide an address for legal service of process upon request if required.

You agree that such electronic communication satisfies any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

16.8. Support and Feedback:
