before opening a merchant account so that you are aware of your legal rights and obligations with respect to
OBOOK Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries.
- 1.2 The “Services” include an online marketplace that provides a place and opportunity for the sale of goods
between the buyer (“Buyer”) and the seller (“Merchant”). The actual contract for sale is directly between Buyer
and Merchant. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, Owlting has no
control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or
accuracy of Merchants' content or listings; the ability of Merchants to sell items; or that a Buyer or Merchant
will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

linked to, these Merchant Agreement and you must consent to the processing of your personal data as described

Services at any time. Owlting may release certain Services or their features in a beta version, which may not
work correctly or in the same way the final version may work, and we shall not be held liable in such instances.
