It is very important you read this entire message before posting.
By posting in this forum, you are agreeing to the following rules. If you do not agree with these rules, or feel that you cannot abide by them, do not post. A single post signifies your agreement to these rules.
HCRealms Neutral Ground Forum Usage Agreement
1. We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site. Except as stated below, all amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our site.
2. Membership Eligibility.
Our services are available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended eBay members. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parents or guardians. If you do not qualify, please do not use our services.
3. HCRealms is a Venue.
3.1 Our site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer and trade just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of trading formats. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
3.2 Identity Verification. We use many techniques to identify our users when they register on our site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, HCRealms cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established a user-initiated feedback system to help you evaluate with whom you are dealing. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on our site. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification
3.3 Release. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release HCRealms (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
3.4 Information Control. We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using our site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign nationals.
4. Listing and Selling.
4.1 Listing Description. You must be legally able to trade the item(s) you list on our site. You must describe your item and all terms for trade on the Trading Forum of our site. Your listings may only include text descriptions and other content relevant to the trade of that item.
4.2 Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, HCRealms may suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our site.
5. Restricted Activities.
