Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using the MarketLink mobile application (“App”) operated by LiinksGroup (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using MarketLink, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
- Acceptance of Terms
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and LiinksGroup. You must be at least 13 years old to use MarketLink. By using the App you represent that you are at least 13 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

- Description of Service
MarketLink is a peer-to-peer marketplace platform that allows users to list, browse, buy, and sell physical goods through in-person meetup transactions. The App also includes community features such as The Lounge (group chat rooms), direct messaging between users, video calling, and a rating system.
LiinksGroup is a technology platform provider. We are not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers. We do not buy, sell, inspect, or take possession of any items listed on the App.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to notify us immediately at support@liinksgroup.com if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
3.3 One Account Per Person
You may not create multiple accounts or use another person’s account without their permission. We reserve the right to terminate duplicate accounts.

5.1 Your Content
You retain ownership of photos, videos, descriptions, and other content you post on MarketLink (“Your Content”).

We reserve the right to remove any listing at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
5.3 Content Moderation
We use automated moderation tools (including AI-based content analysis) and human review to detect policy-violating content. You may report listings or users that violate these Terms through the in-app report feature. We will investigate reports and take appropriate action, which may include removing content or suspending accounts.
- Transactions
6.1 Buyer and Seller Responsibility
Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for the transactions they enter into through MarketLink. We strongly recommend that users:
- Meet in safe, public locations during daylight hours.
- Inspect items thoroughly before completing a transaction.
- Never wire money, send gift cards, or use payment methods outside the App.
- Trust your instincts — if something feels unsafe, cancel the meetup.
6.2 Deposits and Escrow
MarketLink offers an optional buyer deposit feature that holds funds in escrow via our payment processor Stripe until a meetup is confirmed. By using this feature, you agree to Stripe’s Terms of Service and Connected Account Agreement. LiinksGroup is not responsible for payment disputes arising from Stripe’s processing decisions.
6.3 Fees
Use of the basic MarketLink marketplace is currently free for individual users. We reserve the right to introduce fees in the future with advance notice to users.
6.4 Disputes Between Users
LiinksGroup is not obligated to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers. If you have a dispute with another user, we encourage you to communicate directly to resolve it. You release LiinksGroup and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, demands, and damages arising out of or in connection with any dispute with another user.
- Ratings and Reviews
After a completed transaction, users may leave ratings and written reviews. You agree that all reviews you submit are honest, accurate, and based on your genuine experience. You may not post fake reviews, incentivized reviews, or reviews designed to manipulate a seller’s or buyer’s reputation. We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate these Terms.
- The Lounge (Community Chat)
The Lounge provides community chat rooms for MarketLink users. By participating in The Lounge, you agree to treat other users with respect and to comply with all conduct rules in Section 4.
