2. Scam Awareness and Liability

At Senior Off-Road ADV Riders, we are committed to providing a safe and trustworthy platform for motorcycle enthusiasts to connect, buy, sell, and trade motorcycles and accessories. However, like all online marketplaces, there is always a risk of encountering fraudulent activity. We want to ensure that you are fully aware of potential scams and take proactive steps to protect yourself. While we work hard to maintain a safe and secure environment, Senior Off-Road ADV Riders is not responsible for transactions between users. All transactions, including but not limited to the sale of motorcycles and accessories, are conducted directly between users. By using our platform, you agree to the following:

Stay Vigilant – Protect Yourself from Scams:

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is: Be cautious of unusually generous deals, especially for high-ticket items like motorcycles. Scammers often offer prices far below market value to lure victims.

Do not buy motorcycles sight unseen: Always inspect the item in person or arrange for a trusted third party to inspect it before finalizing the transaction. Avoid sending money for items you have not physically seen or verified.

Always verify seller and product information: Research the seller’s reputation, check for reviews, ratings, and any red flags. Be wary of sellers unwilling to provide full details, such as pictures, proof of ownership, or contact information.

Secure Payment Methods Only: Avoid sending money via unsecured methods like wire transfers, gift cards, or money transfer services. Use secure, traceable payment systems such as PayPal or credit cards that offer fraud protection.

Report suspicious activity: If you encounter any suspicious activity or believe you’ve been targeted by a scammer, please report it to us immediately via our support page.

No Liability for Scams: Senior Off-Road ADV Riders does not guarantee the accuracy, legitimacy, or safety of any transaction or the authenticity of any listings. We are not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from transactions made on our platform.

Use at Your Own Risk: By engaging with other members, you assume full responsibility for your interactions, and you agree that Senior Off-Road ADV Riders is not liable for any financial loss, emotional distress, or legal consequences resulting from fraudulent activity or scams.

Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute or scam, Senior Off-Road ADV Riders encourages users to resolve matters directly with the other party involved. However, we will take appropriate action if we determine that our platform has been used to perpetrate fraud, including account suspension or removal.

We continuously work to provide a platform that encourages transparency, safety, and trust. However, we urge all members to remain cautious, trust their instincts, and be diligent in their transactions. Your safety and peace of mind are important to us.
