Please read the following Terms of Service carefully before using this Site or opening a Etsy account ("Account") so that you are aware of your legal rights and obligations with respect to Etsy Philippines Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (individually and collectively, "Etsy", "we", "us" or "our").

Parties to such transaction will be entirely responsible for the sales contract between them, the listing of goods, warranty of purchase and the like. Etsy is not involved in the transaction between Users. Etsy may or may not pre-screen Users or the Content or information provided by Users. Etsy reserves the right to remove any Content or information posted by you on the Site in accordance to Section 6.4 herein. Etsy cannot ensure that Users will actually complete a transaction.
