FOR SALE or TRADE / Really helpful tips for sellin...
Last post by SBadmin - June 06, 2009, 06:52:41 AM
Local Upstate New York residents can use this as a great place to buy / trade / sell everything from musical gear to whatever (as long as it's legal  ;) )!

HELPFUL TIPS:

1. You don't have to post your contact information publicly. Registered users can use the Private Message feature here to make contact.

2. It's OK to post links to your eBay auctions, Craig's List ads, etc.. to help draw local attention to items you have listed on those sites.
(Posting a link is simple - just paste the web address (URL) right into your post, and as long as it includes the http:// the board will auto-link it for you).

3. Try to be as descriptive as possible and at least let people know your conditions / price / approximate location (such as your city or town).

4. You can publicly rate your experience with other users here, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DISCLOSE PRIVATE INFO ABOUT THE OTHER USER.


OUR POLICY:

1. SaratogaBands.com and our staff do not get involved in sales/trades, and we are NOT responsible for any business dealings between users.

2. If you choose to post any personal contact information here on the board, rather than using the Private Message feature, we are not responsible for any contact you receive as a result of doing so.

3. In case you missed it, we're not responsible for anything related to your transactions, and as such we do not provide personal information of other users and we don't get involved.

Your privacy is completely respected here at SB and we make every effort to keep your information private. But this, after all, the Internet and we're dealing with computers, so we need to have a policy in place that clearly defines OUR responsibility and YOUR responsibility.

Instead of legal mumbo jumbo, let's put this in straight-forward terms...

OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND PRECAUTIONS:

1. WE DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANYONE (unless we are asked to by law enforcement authorities)

2. WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE.

3. WE NOT NOT PARTICIPATE IN EMAIL MARKETING and WE DO NOT ADD YOU TO THIRD-PARTY MAILING LISTS.

4. OUR SYSTEM DOES COLLECT YOUR IP ADDRESS and DOES USE COOKIES to remember you here, in case we need to track abuse of the system, BUT, YOUR IP ADDRESS IS NOT MADE PUBLIC OR KNOWN TO ANYONE BUT SB ADMINS (unless we are asked to provide it to law enforcement authorities).

5. Althought WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THIS SITE SECURE, we WILL NOT be held responsible or liable for any damages or other negative repercussions IF by some chance a problem occurs with the forum software or the equipment it runs on.

6. We do send out an OCCASIONAL (NOT OFTEN) EMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR MEMBERS, but only when it pertains DIRECTLY to your use of this site and our operations.

7. OUR SYSTEM GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO COMPLETELY HIDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS and YOU CAN USE NICKNAMES on this board. In other words, IF YOU CHOOSE TO POST PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. We will assume NO responsibility for any information you choose to share on this site.

8. WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THE ABILITY TO USE AN ANONYMOUS PERSONA, AND YOU CAN USE OUR PRIVATE MESSAGING SYSTEM TO CORRESPOND WITH OTHER USERS. You do not have to post your email address or phone number or other personally identifying information in public view on this site. That would be YOUR choice.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND PRECAUTIONS:

1. When you register an account here, YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH THE CHOICE TO HIDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS and the CHOICE TO USE A FAKE NAME / NICKNAME. If you make your email address or any other personally identifiable information available in your PUBLIC PROFILE or in your POSTS, that is your own choice and we will not be held liable for anything you experience by doing so.

2. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED to provide ANY information about yourself to the public user community on this board. This is YOUR CHOICE, and again we will not be held responsible or liable in any way for anything that you choose to post or share on this forum.

3. We encourage you to use an assumed identity for your username / nickname on this board. We encourage you to use the option to hide your email address in your Profile. We encourage you to use the Private Message system built into this board for correspondence with other users.

So in other words - this board software gives you the ability to remain anonymous and keep your personal information private. If you choose otherwise, that is your choice.
