By creating an account, accessing, browsing, or utilizing the Palix platform ("Palix", "we", "our", or "us"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.
⚠️ Strict Age Requirement (18 Years and Older):
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to register an account, post trade listings, initiate proposals, or execute barter swaps on Palix. If you are under 18 years old, you are strictly prohibited from using this platform. By registering, you warrant and represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
Palix is an independent software application and communications platform facilitating peer-to-peer item swapping and barter discovery between registered users in the Philippines.
Commercial Center Non-Affiliation Notice:
Palix is NOT affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, partnered with, or operated by SM Prime Holdings, Inc., SM Supermalls, SM Cyberzone, or any shopping mall or commercial real estate operator. All mall names, brands, trademarks, and registered logos referenced across the platform are used solely and strictly for geographic identification and convenient public meetup location suggestions. Palix does not manage physical kiosks, does not provide security guards or surveillance services, and does not operate official exchange stations inside any commercial mall or property.
Palix functions purely as an online directory and communication intermediary connecting individual users interested in bartering or trading pre-loved personal items. Palix is not an auctioneer, retailer, broker, pawnbroker, or monetary financial institution. Palix does not hold, take possession of, inspect, authenticate, ship, or store any physical items traded by users. All swap proposals, agreements, valuations, and physical handshakes are conducted solely and directly between the respective trading parties.
Users acknowledge that in-person swaps require meeting other individuals in physical locations. You expressly understand, agree, and accept that:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW:
THE PALIX SERVICE AND ALL USER LISTINGS, DESCRIPTIONS, IMAGES, AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
PALIX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AUTHENTICITY, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PALIX MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY, SAFETY, LEGALITY, WORKING ORDER, FUNCTIONALITY, OR ORIGIN OF ANY ITEMS LISTED OR EXCHANGED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
Users are strictly prohibited from listing, offering, promoting, requesting, or trading any of the following items or services on Palix:
Violation of this policy will result in immediate listing removal, permanent account termination, and potential referral to Philippine law enforcement agencies (such as the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group or NBI).
In compliance with the Internet Transactions Act of 2023 (Republic Act No. 11967) and applicable consumer protection statutes:
Palix operates a functional Notice-and-Takedown mechanism. Any brand owner, intellectual property holder, authorized representative, law enforcement official, or registered user may submit a formal notice of infringement, counterfeit listing, stolen property claim, or illicit activity directly through our in-app "Report Listing" system or via email to GieExe@protonmail.com.
Upon receipt of a substantiated complaint, Palix expeditiously removes or disables access to the flagged listing, issues a warning or suspension to the trader, and cooperates with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and competent authorities.
You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and current information when registering. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree not to engage in identity fraud, automated scraping, bot manipulation, artificial karma inflating, or deceptive feedback reviews. Verification badges (such as Google Auth, Dual-QR handshakes, or 3-photo swap proof) represent historical interaction records and do not constitute an official government background check or commercial guarantee.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL PALIX, ITS CREATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, HOSTING PARTNERS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR:
These Terms shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be instituted exclusively in the competent courts of Metro Manila, Philippines.
Users agree that any dispute between barter participants regarding trade fairness, item quality, or terms shall be handled directly and amicably between the parties. Palix is under no obligation to intervene, arbitrate, or compensate parties for barter disputes.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time. When modifications occur, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Continued use of Palix after changes take effect constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated terms.
