As more fully detailed throughout these Facebook Sales Terms, you agree that:
- The Buy button feature provides you a platform to purchase Products directly from Merchants. When you make a purchase, you are purchasing a Product from the Merchant, and not Facebook.
- Merchants provide the Products and Product Listings (e.g., the pricing, pictures, and descriptions), and not Facebook.
- While Facebook will provide the platform and may help with disputes as described below, Facebook is not responsible for, and has no liability for, the Products, the Product Listings, the Delivery, Return, and Dispute Policy, the Merchant Terms, the order fulfillment and delivery, the Merchants or any interactions or disputes between you and Merchants.

If you pay by credit or debit card, a pre-approval may be obtained from the issuer of the card for an amount, which may be as high as the full amount of the total price of your purchase. Your card will be billed at the time you load funds for your transaction, or shortly thereafter.
