TRADING/BUYING/SELLING GUIDELINES FOR IMPERIALSHIPYARDS.NET
FIRST AND FOREMOST, ALL DEALS MADE HERE ON THESE FORUMS ARE THE BUSINESS OF THE MEMBERS ENTERING INTO SUCH AGREEMENTS. THE ADMIN AND STAFF OF IMPERIALSHIPYARDS.NET IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEALS. WE WILL NOT INTERVENE, WE WILL NOT FORCE ANYONE'S HAND. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DEALING WITH SOMEONE, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THAT ISN'T BEING RESOLVED, YOU MAY CONTACT ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATORS, AND WE WILL SEND THEM A MESSAGE ASKING FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE DEAL, BUT THAT IS THE EXTENT OF OUR INVOLVEMENT. YOU MUST PRESENT PROOF OF A DEAL GONE BAD, OR WE WILL NOT EVEN RESPOND TO YOU. WE WILL NOT PLAY HE SAID/SHE SAID GAMES. ALL MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED AND HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO READ THE MEMBER'S FEEDBACK THREAD TO DETERMINE THEIR WORTHINESS. FAILURE TO DO SO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TRADING GUIDELINES:
IF YOU INITIATE THE TRADE, AS IN, YOU ASK SOMEONE TO TRADE WITH YOU, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SENDING OUT YOUR ITEM FIRST. ONCE THE OTHER MEMBER RECEIVES THE ITEM, THEY WILL THEN SEND OUT YOURS. USING TRACKING THROUGH USPS OR UPS OR FEDEX IS RECOMMENDED. IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED A TRADE, ONCE YOU RECEIVE THE ITEM FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO INITIATED THE TRADE, YOU MUST SEND OUT YOUR ITEM WITHING 3 BUSINESS DAYS. FAILURE TO SEND THE ITEM IN THAT TIME PERIOD WILL RESULT IN A NEGATIVE POINT LEFT IN YOUR FEEDBACK.
BUYING GUIDELINES:
IF YOU ARE BUYING SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER MEMBER, YOU MUST SEND YOUR PAYMENT TO THAT INDIVIDUAL WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE AGREEMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED UPON BY BOTH THE SELLER AND YOURSELF. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PAYMENT IN THE ALLOTTED TIME WILL RESULT IN A NEGATIVE POINT LEFT IN YOUR FEEDBACK.
SELLING GUIDELINES:
IF YOU ARE SELLING AN ITEM, SELLING A CUSTOM ITEM, OR MAKING AN ITEM FOR ANOTHER MEMBER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BEGIN WORK OR PACKAGING OF THAT ITEM UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED PAYMENT. IF YOU MAKE AN ITEM FOR A MEMBER, AND THAT MEMBER BACKS OUT OF THE DEAL, IT IS THE FAULT OF YOUR OWN FOR STARTING EARLY. FURTHERMORE, ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED PAYMENT, YOU SHOULD SHIP YOUR SOLD ITEM(S) OUT NO LATER THAN 3 BUSINESS DAYS. EXCEPTIONS TO THIS IS IF YOU ARE MAKING A CUSTOM PIECE OR CASTING AN ITEM AND IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THE 3 DAYS TO COMPLETE. IN THIS CASE, YOU SHOULD INFORM THE BUYER OF THE TIME FRAME IN WHICH THE ITEM WILL BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THEM SENDING YOU THE MONEY, SO THAT BOTH PARTIES ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.
BACKING OUT OF DEALS:
SOMETIMES, THINGS HAPPEN THAT FORCE US TO ABANDON A DEAL BEFORE IT BECOMES A REALITY. THAT HAPPENS, AND MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU MAKE IT A HABIT, YOU PLACE YOUR REPUTATION IN JEOPARDY. HENCEFORTH, IF YOU BACK OUT OF 4 DEALS OR MORE, A NEGATIVE POINT WILL BE PLACED IN YOUR FEEDBACK, AND THE MEMBER WHO YOU HAVE BACKED OUT FROM MAY POST THIS FACT ON YOUR FEEDBACK THREAD. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS, OR CANNOT AFFORD TO COMPLETE THESE DEALS, THEN DO NOT MAKE THEM.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK:
IF YOU ACCUMULATE 10 NEGATIVE POINTS IN YOUR FEEDBACK, YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR A PERIOD OF ONE WEEK. IN ADDITION, A NOTATION WILL BE PLACED IN YOUR FEEDBACK THREAD TO WARN OTHERS. YOU WILL ALSO BE PROHIBITED FROM MAKING DEALS FOR A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS. IF YOU UNDERTAKE A DEAL WITH A MEMBER WHO IS PROHIBITED FROM DEALING DURING THIS TIME, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. FINALLY, IF YOU GET A TOTAL OF 12 NEGATIVE POINTS IN YOUR FEEDBACK, YOU WILL BE BANNED PERMANENTLY.
