You have to agree to the following terms before using this service.
This service gives you no warranty for placed or missed bids. Although it’s theoretically possible to miss your bid, but practically the rate of missing bids is very low and we continue working on improvement anyway.
All bids are placed on your behalf, but we are not involved in the actual transaction between you and your seller and so we are not responsible for any issues you might come up with your auction.
Your eBay account must be in good standing. If it has any limitations, the same applies to the sniper.
The service is being provided on AS IS basis. No liability for damages, fit for purpose, data loss, loss of profits or any other kind of loss.
We keep the right to deny the service to anyone at any time for any or no reasons.
When you link your eBay account to your sniper’s account, it will not share your password information with the sniper. Your eBay account will be used to place bids on your behalf
only. You have to use your own eBay account with this service.
You have to agree to all eBay agreements whichever applies to auctions you are managing.
Item purchases are subject to eBay terms. eBay listings are the sole responsibility of the individual sellers.
Security is important for us: The sniper does not store your passwords. Your snipe data will be removed from our system automatically when inactive. You can always re-activate your account by loging in.
All client-server communications are encrypted.
Your bids are placed by a remote server no matter if your computer is online or offline. This means that you are not required to install any special software to use this web service. All access to the service such as IP addresses are logged for security reasons and fraud
prevention, and so required for normal service operation. Anonymized statistical information
and crash reports are gathered for service’s improvements.
All source code (including add-ons and other related plug-ins) is copyrighted material.
