 The G/K43 Community is not an ad driven site, nor do we derive any
income from this site. Once
per year we have an annual piggy bank drive. When the pink piggy
appears, we depend on member donations to pay for the bulletin board
software, hosting and any add on products that we use for the benefit
of our membership. Our Sponsors are members who have donated $100 per
year or more and receive the Sponsor status. Last year, in October
2007 it took approximately 15 days to pay for this site and then el'
Oinker was closed until this coming October 2008.
Contributing
members who donate less than $100 dollars are not considered Sponsors
but known as Contributors.

Transaction
guidelines and disclaimer
Transactions
should be in accordance with all local, State, and Federal laws. All
International laws should also be observed, if applicable.
Buyers
and Sellers assume all risks in any transaction and agree to this by
using the G/K43 forum to buy and sell anything. The G/K43 forum will
not be responsible for any disputed transaction. CAVEAT
EMPTOR applies in all transactions.
Obtaining
the personal information of sellers by Moderators or Administrators
As
a seller, using any of the various for sale forums, Moderators or
Administrators may ask for valid contact information at any time to
ensure proper use of the board by all members. Sellers are required
to provide valid information within 48 hours of any request. Sellers,
who do not respond within the allotted time period, will have their
listings removed from the system until the requested information is
obtained. Requests of this nature will only be made using the board
Private Messaging system (PM) and not by email. Do not respond to any
emails asking for personal information. Such requests will rarely be
made, and all information obtained will be in strict accordance of
our forum privacy policy.
Reporting
a problem with a registered member
If
any buyer or seller encounters a severe problem in a transaction
with a registered member, please post all information in the
“Buyer Beware” section of the forum. Post the name, mailing
address, phone number, and seller ID with a brief description of the incident.
The
following are examples where board staff 'may' offer limited assistance:
1.)
Transactions involving non-receipt of a paid item.
2.)
Receiving an item that is significantly different than advertised.
The
following are examples where board staff will NOT offer assistance:
1.)
Any request for assistance in obtaining a refund or adjustment.
2.)
Item was lost, damaged or stolen while being shipped and out of
direct control of the seller. This also applies to a buyer returning
an item for a refund.
3.)
Minor problems with an article not mentioned or pictured by the
seller. (Note - buyers are responsible to ask any and all questions
before completing a transaction).
4.)
Item arrived late or was shipped late.
5.)
A buyer agreed to buy an item, but never sent payment.
6.)
Seller overcharged in shipping and handling.
Contact
a member of the Administration Staff and provide pertinent
information of the problem. If after a review of the facts provided
by both the buyer and seller, and if the situation clearly warrants
action, the offending member will lose all future selling privileges
and/or banned from using the GK43 site entirely. Any assistance
provided by the board staff is limited and in no way will an attempt
be made to obtain any refunds or adjustments. Again, CAVEAT
EMPTOR applies in all transactions.
