Third Party Vendors.  You may engage one or more third party vendors for the purpose of completing and fulfilling an Online Transaction such as the warehousing and logistic service companies, shipping agents, inspection agents, insurance companies, warranty, etc.   Some of such third party vendors may be partners of HBBMarketplace.com and thus designated by HBBMarketplace.com to you.  Among such designated partners, you may be required to agree and accept the terms and conditions of their services online within the Sites. You agree that unless otherwise arranged between HBBMarketplace.com and you, the buyers and sellers on HBBMarketplace.com platform are responsible for arranging for the shipment of the products independently of the HBBMarketplace.com platform.
