Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ripped Off? Was I?
I went to place a deposit for a snake for 1000, and before paying i verified that I read the TOS the breeder made me read. The only problem is that since alot of the information was repeated again and again, I didnt bother to read the whole thing because I just figured it was an error. However, somewhere within the TOS it said 'you must know whether or not your animal is shippable. we are not liable for any losses if you neglect to do so. some animals can not be shipped.' I wont post the site, because its not there anymore. I didnt see that! I thought the animal could be shipped. So yeah, the deposit was nonrefundable and the breeder claims I cant get my money back. Who is in the wrong? Any help?

I think it says something about the business if the TOS is no longer there. It is true that you should have read and understood the TOS before making your deposit....but it is really sleazy in my opinion not to return a thousand dollar deposit over a misunderstanding. Wheather it was in the TOS or not, a stand up guy/gal would have refunded the money or at least a large portion of it. I would like to know who it is, and see any correspondence between you and the seller. And what kind of animal can't be shipped? If it can't be.....maybe HE should make that clear BEFORE accepting peoples money.

Interesting... Loren, please elaborate more about the situation, like the name of the company/person, when you put the money down, the type of snake, etc?
We can't help you if you don't give us the full story!

Was the deposit $1000.00 or was the deposit for a $1000.00 animal?

Seems reading site rules,terms of service, etc.... isn't this persons strong suit.
Make a new thread with the persons name in the title, post up the name of the person, business, and specifics of your deal, along with any e-mails you have regarding the deal and people will be able to try and help.
