FaunaClassifieds Terms of Service

Introduction

This page states the Terms and Conditions under which you may use www.FaunaClassifieds.com (the "Web Site"), which is property of FaunaClassifieds, LLC ("FaunaClassifieds"). Please read this page carefully. If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, do not use the Web Site. We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting an update to this page. You should visit this page periodically, because your continued use of the Web Site following the posting of changes to these Terms and Conditions, as well as your use of the site after the initial posting of this document, will mean you accept those changes. It will be presumed that any use of this site, including viewing anonymously, will constitute your acceptance of the terms of the conditions stated within this document. In the case of your disagreeing with the terms stated within this document, your sole recourse is to discontinue use of the website.

Description of Service

We provide a message board system which allows registered members to post messages that are viewable to the general public Some forums for posting are restricted to paying members, but in no event will posts be audited or reviewed prior to their being publicly posted. In specific instances of posts made within the Board of Inquiry forum, no regular member outside of the staff of FaunaClassifieds has the capability of editing nor deleting any words they have submitted to being publicly posted. Any staff member who does have the capability to edit or delete such messages and any others within FaunaClassifieds is not obligated to edit or delete anything posted, and in like kind is not obligated to not edit or delete something, regardless of the content.

Personal Use Only

The Web Site is made available for your personal, non-commercial use only, with specifically granted exceptions. You may not use the Web Site to sell a product or service outside of what is allowable in the classified ad sections, or to increase traffic to your web site for any competitive or commercial reasons without the express permission to do so via specific allowances offered via paid membership levels. Any such allowances can be revoked at any time without recourse on your part, if deemed that such activities are not in the best interests of FaunaClassifieds and its members.
