Also, take advantage of the open, friendly nature of the forums and join right in. Remember, our advertisers are welcome to mention their websites on the forums when the context is appropriate.

Now, here are the excerpts from the Swap Policies that pertain to our advertisers. Please take the time to read through them!

Dealer Account: An individual or family business that buys and sells books and materials for profit. (If the materials were not purchased for your own use, but with the intent to resell, you need the Dealer Account.) All sales transacted as a result of Swap affiliation will be expected to be sold as advertised, in the condition advertised, and delivered in a timely manner. Remember, if you post as, or for, a third party, you are considered a Dealer, even if you're doing it for a friend. The Dealer Account is $25 for three months, due in advance, as of February 1, 1998.

No Dealers may place ads on the Classifieds pages. You may place one ad promoting your business on the Business Index page only. We will accept additional ads from Dealers if the businesses are distinct from one another. Your ad should consist of:
1. Business name
2. brief description of the nature of the business--no more than 10 lines
3. the way you can be reached.

Any abuse of the Swap's good will, its members or visitors, its integrity, or its purpose in existing will result in revocation of the dealer's advertisement. Please see the Swap's Policy Page for further details.

Additionally, two (2) confirmed complaints of abuses as listed above, or of non-delivered goods, or of misrepresented goods, will result in revocation of the dealer's advertisement with no refund of monies paid.

Misuse of Swap Information:

Garnering email addresses from Swap ads or forum posts in order to use them for personal or business mailings is not allowed. This will be grounds for the recipient of the mail to file a formal complaint with the Swap management. Swap addresses are never to be used as targets for unsolicited mail--this is called junk mail, or spam. Access will be pulled and denied if such actions are confirmed.

In the unhappy and unlikely event of a bad check that is not covered, promised goods that are paid for but not delivered, repeated emails that are ignored when a problem has occurred, or other abuse of the Swap's mission, advertisements may be revoked and a list will be kept in order to prevent further abuses of the good will of our patrons. The Site Co-Managers have no intention of playing "SwapCops", but will take reasonable, legal steps to protect all those who frequent the Swap. The Site Co-Managers will NOT intervene in actual disputes between users, but will maintain a collection of information about those who abuse the Swap in any way, whether it be the disregard of Swap rules or a blatant abuse of the trust that others have placed in them.

No Dealer-to-Dealer or Dealer-to-customer disputes will be handled by the Swap management. Dealers are responsible for their own transactions and all details involved, as is true for all independent businesses.

Disclaimer of Responsibility:

Due to the nature of the transactions that occur via the Swap, Swap management is not able to guarantee the content, condition, or availability of any items advertised here or on sites linked to the Swap, nor the continuing existence or availablity of the Swap itself throughout any subscription period.

All transactions are solely at the risk of buyer and seller.

Swap management is not and will not be held responsible in any way for any trouble arising from any difficulties between any users of the Swap, whether those users are paying subscribers, Dealers, or non-paying buyers.

All situations involving revocation of passwords will be at the sole discretion of the Swap Management, and their decision is final.
