and all terms of sale in Your listing. If someone buys your Item, You are

your profile information or the profile information of other users in any other
venue.
14. Violation: If Trashbank, in its sole discretion,

pursue any of its legal remedies, including, but not limited to, the filing of
a complaint, the immediate deletion of any offending material from the Website,
cancellation of Your account and /or the exclusion of any person(s) who may
have violated any Terms. Trashbank shall cooperate with any investigation by
any Federal, State, or local body or any court or tribunal. Such cooperation
may be without notice to You. If Trashbank believes in its sole discretion that
any listing may create liability for Trashbank, Trashbank may take any actions
that it believes are prudent or necessary to minimize or eliminate its
potential liability, including, but not limited to, releasing User information
and/or filing a report with the appropriate authorities. In sum, Trashbank
reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time, and to remove any
listings or any advertisements for any reason, and without notice.
If there is a dispute between Users of the Site, Trashbank is under no
obligation to become involved. In the event that You have a dispute with one or
more Users, You hereby release Trashbank, Trashbank, LLC, their officers,
employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages
(actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected
and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way
related to such disputes and / or our service. If You are a California
resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says "A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by
him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trashbank may investigate reports of abuse or
misuses and, if appropriate, limit or prohibit Your use of the Site or modify
Your user profile to reflect its determinations. Trashbank, however, will not
take any other action with respect to a complaint and will not make
determinations that will exempt any party from concluding a particular
transaction. That determination may only be made by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a mutually acceptable third party. All determinations are final
and are made at the sole discretion of Trashbank. In agreeing to these Terms of
Service, You agree to participate in investigations and be bound by Trashbank's
determination. There are three steps in our Offenses and Enforcement Policy.
1. Reporting of the Offense - In order for an offense to be
investigated, it must be reported to Trashbank. Users may file reports if they
fall victim to, or are aware of, any enforceable offenses. In addition,
Trashbank reserves the right to initiate investigations even in the absence of
a report.
2. Investigating the Offense - Once a report has been filed,
the details will be investigated by Trashbank. Several factors will be looked
at to determine the legitimacy of the report and level of offense before
enforcement. If the report and/or response warrants it, additional proof or
information may be requested from all involved parties.
3. Enforcing the Offense - Offenses fall into two categories:
(a) Violations, and (b) Zero Tolerance. If an offense is determined to be a
violation, Trashbank will issue a warning on the first and second offenses, and
a third offense will result in the permanent suspension of the user account. If
a User commits a Zero Tolerance offense, the User account will be revoked
immediately. It is important to note that, if a User's account is suspended,
Trashbank will not refund any fees paid to it by the User. When Your account is
suspended, You will not be able to perform any transactions in the Trashbank
community as either a Buyer or a Seller, Your listings will be removed from the
Site, and any ongoing negotiations You may have will be cancelled. Any party
with whom You are engaged in an ongoing negotiation at the time of Your
suspension will be notified via email of Your suspension.
The first two violations will result in warnings. Trashbank will send an email
to the address provided by You at registration to notify that you have
committed a Violation and we have placed a mark on your account. A third
offense will result in the permanent suspension of your account.
Examples of Violations:
-
Nonpayment or failing to deliver a traded/sold product from a closed
transaction. At any time during the negotiation process, You may
walk away from the transaction without penalty, provided an offer has not been
accepted. Once the Buyer or Seller accepts an offer, the transaction is
complete, and a binding agreement is formed. Failure of the Buyer or Seller to
fulfill his or her portion of the agreement constitutes a violation.
-
Failure to pay transaction fees. In order to Sell an Item on
Trashbank, you must provide a valid credit card for the collection of listing
and final transaction fees. If the credit card number is incorrect, or if the
credit card has expired, resulting in failure to pay fees, such failure
constitutes a violation.
-
Violation of Content Policy. Listing a "prohibited" Item on
the Trashbank system will result in the prompt removal of the listing, as well
as a Violation on Your account. It is important to note, however, that if the
Item is in blatant disregard of our Terms of Service (for example: drugs), the
listing may be considered a Zero Tolerance offense and will be handled
accordingly (see below).
-
Misrepresentation of an item for sale. Item listings should
clearly represent and display the actual Item that the Buyer is negotiating
for. A violation will be recorded against Sellers who misrepresent an Item,
falsify information in a listing, deliver Items other than what is listed, Sell
copies or fakes of original Items, or in any way Sell an Item to the Buyer
under the pretense that it is something else.
-
Providing incorrect or outdated Contact Information. Contact
information must be valid in order to perform transactions on Trashbank.
Providing incorrect information will result in a Violation. If your contact
information changes (if you move, etc.), please update your Contact Information
as soon as possible to avoid a Violation.
-
Using someone else's User ID. Using another user's ID, for any
purpose, constitutes a Violation. Performing transactions under someone else's
ID, using another ID to help build your rating, "stuffing" the queue to
misrepresent the demand of your Item, or using another User's ID to attack or
leave negative ratings on other Users are all examples of Violations.
-
User Rating Threat/Extortion/Solicitation. The User Rating
system has been put into place as a reference base for other Users to determine
how a User performs transactions within the Trashbank community. Threatening
other Users with negative ratings unless they comply with certain demands,
prices, etc. is a Violation of the system. Additionally, selling, trading or
exchanging positive ratings in any way outside of normal function will not be
tolerated. Ratings are to be left as an accurate, honest depiction of how You
felt the User behaved in the negotiation.
-
Using Trashbank system for advertising, solicitation or "SPAM" lists.
Trashbank is an online marketplace for Traders, Buyers and Sellers to trade,
move and purchase products in a more efficient manner. Use of listings for the
purpose of advertising, solicitation of services or any other purpose not
related to Trashbank is a Violation.
-
Misuse or abuse of other users' personal information. Trashbank
prides itself on maintaining our Users' privacy. Publishing, selling,
exchanging, distributing or using another User's personal information in any
way outside of completing the transaction is a Violation. Additionally,
contacting another User for any purpose outside of the closing of a transaction
is a Violation. For further information regarding this, please see our Privacy
Policy.
-
Use of profanity in listings or communication. Trashbank
routinely checks listings for profanity and other questionable content.
Profanity will not be tolerated in the Item listing, the Ask a Question portion
or in communications between Buyers and Sellers or with Trashbank. Profanity in
any of the above listed forms will result in a Violation being placed on your
account, and may also result in the removal of your listing. It is important to
note, however, that if the use is extreme, defamatory, or contains racial or
ethnic slurs, hate messages, etc., it will be considered a Zero Tolerance
offense and be enforced accordingly. (See below)
-
Creating a new User account to escape bad reputation or after being
indefinitely suspended. The ratings and violations systems have
been put into place to help other Users see how You do business online. Any
attempt to deceive Users are Violations.
-
Wrongful accusations against other Users within the Trashbank community.
False accusations and misrepresentations in reporting of offenses by other
Users will not be tolerated by Trashbank, and are Violations by the reporting
User.
Zero tolerance offenses are the most serious offenses in the Trashbank
community. If, after investigation, it is determined that the reported offense
is a Zero Tolerance offense, permanent suspension of your account will go into
effect immediately.
Examples of Zero Tolerance offenses:
-
Under age users. Minors (people under the age of majority in
their state or province of residence) are not eligible to use our services.
Violation of this policy is a Zero Tolerance offense, and your account will be
suspended immediately. When you reach the age of majority, however, you will be
permitted to rejoin Trashbank.
-
Representing as a Trashbank or Trashbank, LLC employee. Any
attempt to represent yourself in any way as an employee of either Trashbank or
Trashbank, LLC is a Zero Tolerance offense.
-
Intentional use of false contact information (including credit card
information, addresses, and inactive email accounts). In order to
transact in the Trashbank community, you must provide accurate, valid contact
and billing information. Intentional failure to do so will result in the prompt
removal of your account.
-
Use of slanderous remarks, hate messages, racial or ethnic slurs, or other
defamatory remarks. Any use of the aforementioned in descriptions,
Ask a Question, email correspondence between the Buyer and Seller or with
Trashbank will not be tolerated.
-
Threats of bodily harm, extortion or blackmail. Any such
threats will result in the immediate permanent suspension of the offending
User's account.
-
Interfering with Trashbank Site or operations. Any attempt to interfere with,
cause damage to, or in any way abuse or violate the security and integrity of
the Trashbank system is a Zero Tolerance offense. Additionally, Trashbank may
report such activity to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
-
Failure to participate in the reporting and investigation process.
Failure to respond in a timely fashion to a notice that an investigation that
could result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account is a Zero
Tolerance offense and your account will be suspended permanently.
Please note that every case is different, and Trashbank will take each reported
account into consideration during the investigation process before making a
decision. Violations and Zero Tolerance offenses are not limited to the
above-listed offenses. If an offense has been investigated that does not fall
into any pre-defined category, Trashbank reserves the right to suspend any User
or remove any listing.
Please note that other than noting violations and/or temporarily or permanently
suspending an account, Trashbank will not take any other action. Under no
circumstances will we attempt to avoid a sale or compel its completion. These
remedies are only available through a court or other mutually acceptable third
party.

SERVICE IS AT USER'S SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND ON AN

INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR
TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE OR RESULTING FROM
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF USER'S TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA OR ARISING

appearance of ad must be submitted in writing to advertise@trashbank.com. Any
changes to the content or appearance of an ad and the timing of those changes
are at the sole discretion of Trashbank.
Trashbank will determine acceptable content for banner advertising and reserves
the right to remove any banner ad at any time if it deems the content to be
unacceptable. Unacceptable content includes but is not limited to:
-
banner ads which contain material that infringes the rights of others
(including but not limited to copyright and other intellectual property rights)
or which promote copyright piracy (i.e., unauthorized MP3s, roms, 'warez',
emulators, or cracks, etc.)
-
banner ads with pornography, adult content, sexual or erotic material or banner
ads that contain links to such content
-
banner ads with gratuitous displays of violence, obscene or vulgar language,
and abusive content or content which endorses or threatens physical harm
-
banner ads promoting any type of hate-mongering (i.e., racial, political,
ethnic, religious, gender-based, sexuality-based or personal, etc.)
-
banner ads that participate in or transmit inappropriate newsgroup postings or
unsolicited e-mail (spam)
-
banner ads promoting any type of illegal substance or activity (i.e., how to
build a bomb, hacking, 'phreaking', etc.)
-
banner ads with illegal, false or deceptive investment advice and money-making
opportunities
-
banner ads that provide incentives of any nature to require or encourage users
to click on paid links and ad banners (i.e., charity, sweepstakes, etc.)
-
banner ads with any type of content reasonable public consensus deems to be
improper or inappropriate.
At any time, at its sole discretion, Trashbank may discontinue running Your
ad(s), for any reason including without limitation, if Trashbank judges that
Your ad(s) do not meet Trashbank's content standards or would be potentially
actionable. This right to remove an ad does not constitute endorsement of any
ad that is accepted by Trashbank, nor does it constitute a warranty that
Trashbank will continue to run an ad once posted.
3. Banner Advertisement Positioning: The specific positioning of the
banner advertisement will be as determined by Trashbank according to the rules
set out in Banner Help section of the Site and at Trashbank's sole discretion.
The ads from the 30 highest offers will be rendered into 30 reserved spots of
the ad space. These 30 ads are presented in order by price, starting with the
ad with the highest bid price and time posted. Ads with bids not in the top 30
are randomly generated and are displayed in the 10 slots below the reserved
spots at each page refresh. Your ad's position will adjust in accordance with
the posting and expiration of other people's ads.
At the time a banner ad is submitted Trashbank will inform You of the ad's
position at that moment in comparison with other posted ads in that category.
This information is approximate. Because this advertising system is dynamic,
the banner position in the final review prior to submission is not guaranteed.
If another Advertiser submits a higher or equal bid during the time You execute
the final submission step, Your banner position will be adjusted accordingly.
Trashbank reserves the right to change ad positioning rules at any time and is
not obligated to inform the Advertiser.
Trashbank offers no guarantee of the frequency of display of banner ads
allocated to the random spot category. The display sequence of random banner
ads is generated randomly and not on an equal timed rotation.
Trashbank will issue no refunds on the basis of banner ad placement.
4. Termination of Advertiser's Account: Trashbank reserves the right to
terminate the participation of any Advertiser without reason but expressly
including any Advertiser that Trashbank judges to be in violation of the Terms
and Conditions.

liable for any delay or failure in its obligations hereunder that result from

The Advertiser shall keep Trashbank indemnified in full and at all times
relating to any contaminated file, virus, worm or Trojan horse originating from
