Terms and conditions

MILITARIA321.COM offers a free market place for individuals and companies.

Like everywhere else, some rules have to be observed.

1. MILITARIA321.COM enables individuals and companies to sell and buy goods via the internet.

2. The company ASA, with its headquarters in Vaduz / Liechtenstein, provides the site MILITARIA321.COM (www.militaria321.com) as a service to buy and sell goods via online auctions. MILITARIA321.COM is, by no means at all, involved in the actual transactions between buyers and sellers. We are therefore not responsible for neither the quality nor the security/legality of the items sold. In addition to that, we do not give any guarantee for the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. Please keep in mind, that problems can occur in transactions with minors or people who made wrong statements. To increase the security of our web site, we introduced a feedback system.

3. We do only accept bids which are made during a regular auction by registered users. Bids are irrevocable and can only be withdrawn under special circumstances. When making a bid, the user obligates himself to buy the item, if his bid is the winning one.

4. Sellers obligate themselves to really own the items they offer at Militaria321.com and sell them afterwards. It is not allowed to offer items that you don’t own! Want ads are not allowed!

5. The highest bidder is generally the winner of the auction. MILITARIA321.com can close auctions at any time, if illegal or dangerous items are sold.

6. Sellers and buyers assure that they do not trade with items of the 3^rd Reich to propagate the national-socialist period. Items of the 3^rd Reich may only be sold under certain circumstances such as: for historical, cultural or scientific purposes, for research and education, to publish time witness reports and to make unconstitutional behaviour visible. MILITARIA321.COM does only allow the trade of such items under these circumstances! 

7. It is forbidden to show items which display anticonstitutional signs (swastika, runes, skulls of the Waffen SS, and so on). If a seller still uploads images with such signs, he does this on his own risk and has to make sure that forbidden symbols are covered 100%. To cover only 90% or to simply cross out the signs is not enough for e.g. the German department of public prosecution! Users uploading such images and violating the laws do not only incur a penalty but are also made responsible for all losses and disadvantages which may arise for MILITARIA321.COM. Further consequences of illegal behaviour are the ban from all auctions and the extradition to the department of public prosecution.

The German law (§§86a ff) as well as  MILITARIA321.COM strictly forbid the sale of the following items:

Literature, DVD´s, MC´s, CD´s, games, videos and other image, sound or data carriers with NAZI propaganda, glorification of violence, antisemitism, invocation of racial hatred and similar contents. More precisely: 

a) Media which are not allowed to be advertised and which may not be accessible to minors, like for example MC´s, CD´s, videos and games which glorifie violence and propaganda material.

That is especially the case with the books: “The Eternal Jew” or “The Jew Süss”

b) Critically regarded literature like eg. “My Struggle/My Battle” may only be offered in private auctions. Please tick the option PRIVATE AUCTION in the main menu for that purpose.

c) The sale of reproductions of flags and brassards with NAZI symbols is strictly forbidden.

8. German citizens absolutely have to stick to article §86 of the ABGB. Citizens from other countries may have to obey other articles of their constitutions.

9. The auction house MILITARIA321.COM offers a serious marketplace for collectors but it absolutely dissociates itself from politically motivated groups. We immediately institute proceedings against criminals. Please inform us if you get aware of any criminal action, as it is not possible for us to supervise every auction.

10. MILITARIA321.COM reserves the right to ban users, who give/gave false statements, from all further auctions.

11. MILITARIA321.COM assumes no liability or responsibility for the content of online auctions. Sellers are responsible for the listings and content of the auctions as well as for the quality, quantity and other guaranteed criteria.

12. Who ever bids on self-owned auctions, or bids through middlemen, has to rest assured to be banned from the auction. Price rigging is not wanted on MILITARIA321.com.

13. Sellers, who have less than 10 positive ratings, could be asked by the buyers to use a well known escrow service. The seller must definitely accept this demand! Both partners can freely agree on an escrow service.

All sellers are free to offer an escrow service on their sales form. An accepted escrow service is moneybookers.com

14. If an auction is listed in a category described as original, started with the guarantee symbol, or if the seller gives any other prove of the authenticity of an item, he automatically offers an unlimited sale or return on authenticity within 31days. This right cannot be limited in the description of the auction. If done so, this restriction is not valid. If the buyer has got a reasonable suspicion concerning the authenticity of the item, he has the right to return it to the seller, no expertise is necessary. ALL costs including the shipping costs have to be refunded to the buyer. Sellers may feel free to list items with an uncertain authenticity in the corresponding categories.

If any suspicion arouses concerning the authenticity of an item, Militaria321.com can delete or move this item to another category at any time. We do not delete or add guarantee symbols!

15. MILITARIA321.COM has the right to electronically administrate the data of registered users and to use the data only for its own purpose. Personal data are not given to a third  party!

16. Registered users obligate themselves to pay  fees resulting from auctions to MILITARIA321.COM. All fees are displayed on the corresponding site. It is not allowed to allocate any fees to buyers. Even if a seller states an allocation of the costs in the description of the auction, it has got no legal significance.
