Hmongbid User Agreement and Privacy Policy
Hmongbid.com User Agreement and Privacy Policy User Agreement THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH HMONGBID OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES. HmongBid is exclusively reserved for the sales and purchase of goods and services ONLY. Before you may become a member of hmongbid, you must read and accept all of the terms and conditions. You are at least 18 years of age and are legal to make a binding contract prior to selling or purchasing. Without limiting other remedies, we may limit, suspend, or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to our website, remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep users off the Site if we think that they are creating problems, possible legal liabilities, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. We also reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts. You may: Create links and Credits from your item listing Hmong Bid allows sellers to place the following types of links in your item's description: One link to a page that further describes the item being sold in that listing. A link to your email address that opens an email client for potential buyers to ask questions about the item in that listing Links to photos of the item for sale. Links to your store profile (in addition to the store profile icon already provided by Hmong Bid). Links that provide credits to third parties. One link to your listing terms and conditions (providing that the most relevant information is within the listing itself and that this page does not include any links off of Hmong Bid) You will not: -post content or items in an inappropriate category or areas on the Site -violate any laws, third party rights, or our policies -fail to deliver payment for items purchased by you, unless the seller has materially changed the item's description after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot authenticate the seller's identity -fail to deliver items purchased from you, unless the buyer fails to meet the posted terms, or you cannot authenticate the buyer's identity -post false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, or libelous content (including personal information) Listing Techniques that Circumvent Hmong Bid's membership fee structure Users may not use systems or techniques to circumvent Hmong Bid fees. Some examples include: Offering in a listing the opportunity to purchase the item or other merchandise outside of Hmong Bid. Listings with low prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling costs. Listing an item that requires or offers an additional purchase. Dutch Avoidance - listing a single item and offering additional identical items for sale in the item description. In these situations, the seller typically instructs buyers to indicate the number of items they want, and states that they can get the same price as the item in the listing. Listings with an e-mail address or domain name in the title. Exception: This will be permissible only in listings that are offering a domain name for sale. Offering items for sale in a manner that circumvents Hmong Bid fees. Listings that circumvent Hmong Bid fees are not permitted and will be ended. Disciplinary action may result in the indefinite suspension of a user's account, temporary suspension, or a formal warning. Hmong Bid will consider the circumstances of an alleged offense and the user's trading records before taking action Reserve Price listing violations Reserve price stated in the description of the item when not listed as a reserve listing. Seller states buyer is obligated to purchase when reserve is not met. Policy: These types of listings are not permitted and will be ended. Terms and Conditions contradictory to any Auction Policy Misleading listing titles Key word spamming Excessive use of key words, including (but not limited to) brand names, which are referenced for the purpose of attracting or diverting buyers to a listing will be considered key word spamming and is not permitted. Payment Surcharges Sellers may not charge Hmong Bid buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment, including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. Such costs should be built into the price of the item -- this policy reduces the potential for confusion among bidders about the true cost of an item. Further, some forms of payment surcharges, such as credit card surcharges, are forbidden under the laws of many states, including California. Lotteries and prize competitions Listings that promote prize draws, prize competitions, lotteries, giveaways or raffles as an enticement for bidders are not permitted on Hmong Bid as these promotions may be illegal lotteries under US law. Can a seller add a surcharge to the final price of a Hmong Bid item? Yes, in three instances. 1. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees can be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. 2. Sellers may pass along the costs associated with using a third party escrow service, if the buyer chooses to use an escrow service. 3. Sellers may choose to accept payment in a different currency than the currency listed on Hmong Bid. If the buyer chooses to take advantage of this optional payment method, the seller may pass along to the buyer any costs associated with the currency exchange, provided that the costs are disclosed and agreed to in advance by the buyer. Profanity Hmong Bid does not allow the use of profanity or patently vulgar language. This includes the use of language that is racist, hateful, sexual, or obscene in nature in a public area. This policy extends to text within auction listings, or anywhere else within Hmong Bid. We make allowances for certain items listed on the core site that may contain profane words that are a part of the title. An example of such an item might be a comic book with profanity in the comic book title. If the profane words are part of a title for the item being sold, we allow sellers to 'blurb' out the bulk of the offending word with asterisks (i.e., s*** or f***). Trade Auctions We do not allow users to post Trades (trades are not auctions and have a high rate of fraud), users posting trades will have their accounts removed. Want To Buy Listings We do allow users to post BN (Buy Now) type auctions, these are not auctions but are selling prices for each individual items. Everyone has the right to auction or to sell their items.Any user posting auctions that suggest outside sales will be removed. You must sell your auction on Hmong Bid, any auction suggesting otherwise will result in the termination of your account. Narcotics, Steroids and Other Controlled Substances Narcotics, steroids or other controlled substances may not be listed on Hmong Bid. Further, gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is unlawful in many jurisdictions, may not be listed on Hmong Bid. Anyone who chooses to list narcotics or any non approved substances will be reported to the Police Department Immediately. Keep in mind that your IP addresses will be recorded for fraud.
