The users agree that CMV is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers and that CMV is not a party to the contract. You will promptly deliver payment for an item or service purchased by you unless (a) the seller fails to meet the material terms of the contract, or (b) you cannot authenticate the seller’s identity.
