The Services include an online platform that provides venues and opportunities for the sale of goods between buyers ("Buyers") and sellers ("Sellers") (collectively referred to as "you," "Users," or the "Parties"). The actual sales contract is entered into directly between the Buyer and the Seller. Macy's is not a party to that contract or any other agreement between the Buyer and Seller and does not accept any obligations in connection with such contracts. The Parties are solely responsible for their sales contracts, merchandise listings, purchase warranties, and other aspects of their transactions. Macy's does not intervene in transactions between Users. Macy's may or may not pre-screen Users or User-provided content or information. Macy's reserves the right to remove any content or information you post on the Website in accordance with Section 6.4 of this document.

Macy's acknowledges that manufacturers have the right to enter into exclusive distribution agreements or Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) agreements for their products.
