("Bird Dawg," "we," "us," or "our"). By using any of the Sites, you explicitly agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions" or "Agreement"), and all policies, rules, instructions, and additional terms posted on or through the Sites, all of which are incorporated into this Agreement.

By registering for, logging into, visiting, and/or otherwise using any Site in any way, you indicate that you understand, intend to be legally bound by, and accept these Terms and Conditions. Bird Dawg may change these Terms and Conditions at any time. Your continued use of any Site following appropriate notice of such modifications will be conclusively deemed acceptance of any changes to these Terms and Conditions. At all times, you are bound by the then-current version of these Terms and Conditions and all applicable laws.

2. ABOUT OUR SITES AND SERVICES

Bird Dawg operates the following digital properties:

birddawg.shop — A marketplace platform where users can research item values using real market data, list items for sale, and purchase items from other users. Services include a valuation tool, listing bucket system, fixed-price listings with offers, and escrow-protected transactions.
birddawg.net — The primary Bird Dawg corporate domain used for communications, legal notices, and administrative purposes.
birddawgnetwork.com — A retail property featuring aggregated auto lease specials, manufacturer incentives, rebates, cash-back offers, and 0% APR deals from automobile manufacturers.

These Terms and Conditions apply equally to all three Sites and all services offered through them.

3. ELIGIBILITY

All buyers, sellers, and registered users must be at least 18 years old to use the Sites. By using the Sites, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.

4. USER ACCOUNTS AND REGISTRATION

To access certain features of the Sites, you may be required to create an account. You agree to:

Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration;
Maintain and promptly update your account information;
Maintain the security of your password and account;
Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account;
Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Bird Dawg reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms and Conditions.

5. USER ROLES

Visitor: May browse the marketplace and use the valuation tool without creating an account.
Buyer (Verified): May browse the marketplace, make offers, purchase items, initiate disputes, and leave reviews. Login and identity verification required to transact.
Seller (Verified): May use the valuation tool, research item values, upload photos for verification, create listing buckets, pay listing fees, set prices, accept offers, ship items, respond to disputes, and receive payouts. Login and identity verification required.
Admin: May manage verification, disputes, user accounts, bans, and reporting.

6. VALUATION TOOL

Bird Dawg provides a "What's It Worth?" valuation tool that estimates the market value of items using publicly available market data. The valuation tool is available at birddawg.shop/value and does not require an account to use.

IMPORTANT: Valuations are estimates only and are provided for informational purposes. Bird Dawg makes no guarantees, warranties, or representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any valuation. Valuations should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any purchase, sale, or financial decision. You should conduct your own research and seek independent professional advice before making any transaction.

7. MARKETPLACE LISTINGS AND TRANSACTIONS

a. Listing Fees

Sellers are charged a non-refundable listing fee of $1.00 per item, payable via Stripe prior to publication. Items will not be published until the listing fee has been paid. We may change listing fees at any time in our sole discretion.

b. Commission Structure

Bird Dawg lists items at the seller's asking price plus 20%. The following commission structure applies:

If the item sells at the listed price or up to 10% over the seller's asking price: a flat 5% seller fee is charged on the total sale amount.
If the item sells at 10–20% over the seller's asking price: Bird Dawg and the seller split the overage amount 50/50.
Buyers pay a 5% fee on the total sale price for every transaction.
Shipping and insurance costs are paid by the buyer as a pass-through; Bird Dawg does not charge a platform fee on shipping.

c. Vehicle Listings

The vehicle section uses the same commission model above. Vehicles are identified via VIN decoder. Supercars, collectible cars, vintage cars, and historical cars are excluded from the vehicle section and are routed to the collectibles marketplace.

d. As-Is Sales

All sales through the marketplace are "as-is." Buyers have a 3-day dispute window after confirmed delivery. Disputes may take up to 7 days to resolve before an administrative decision is made by Bird Dawg.

e. Bird Dawg Is Not a Party to Transactions

BIRD DAWG IS NOT A BROKER, DEALER, OR PARTY TO ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS. Bird Dawg does not own, possess, inspect, buy, or sell any items or vehicles listed on the Sites. All transactions are between the buyer and the seller. Bird Dawg provides the platform and related services only.

Information about items and vehicles is supplied by the seller, not by Bird Dawg. The buyer is solely responsible for reviewing the full listing before making a commitment to buy. Bird Dawg is not responsible for incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information provided by sellers or other third parties, including but not limited to item descriptions, condition, photos, history, mileage, or identity of buyers or sellers.

8. ESCROW AND PAYMENT PROTECTION

Bird Dawg may hold buyer funds in escrow until delivery is confirmed via signature-required shipping. Funds are released to the seller only after the dispute window has closed and no dispute has been filed, or after a dispute has been resolved. The specific terms of escrow are governed by the transaction process as described on the applicable Site at the time of purchase.

9. IDENTITY VERIFICATION

To reduce fraud, Bird Dawg may require identity verification for buyers and sellers, which may include email verification, phone verification, government-issued photo ID upload, and automated identity matching. By using the Sites, you consent to these verification processes and agree to provide accurate identification information.

10. AUTO LEASE INCENTIVES (BIRDDAWGNETWORK.COM)

birddawgnetwork.com aggregates and displays current auto manufacturer lease specials, rebates, cash-back offers, and 0% APR deals. These incentive products are listed at $0.00 and include metadata such as brand, vendor, expiration date, and lease terms.

IMPORTANT: Bird Dawg does not manufacture, endorse, or guarantee any auto lease incentive, rebate, or offer displayed on birddawgnetwork.com. All incentive information is sourced from publicly available manufacturer data and is subject to change without notice. You should verify all incentive details directly with the applicable manufacturer or dealer before making any financial decision.

Incentive listings are refreshed monthly. Previous month listings may be removed and replaced with current offers.
