CONDITIONS AND GUIDELINES

Due to the increasing amount of problems with overseas advertising, from the 1st August, 2006, this volunteer run site will only accept classifieds from genuine Australian addresses. We regret this step but our legal responsibilities must be considered above all other things. This will exclude genuine family history searches and missing/lost persons classifieds, which will only be placed in the Messages category. All other overseas submitted entries will be deleted without notice.


Due to the continuing abuse of this site, maintained totally by volunteers, conditions have had to be made much stricter. We apologise to genuine users if this causes inconvenience.

Please read these carefully before clicking, at the bottom of the page, to the submission form.

Classifieds are all manually processed once per day, Monday to Saturday.

Text only classifieds, for up to 60 words are FREE. We will accept larger classifieds but you will have to pay a fee before the classified will be listed. Fees will vary according to size.

All submissions of classifieds will receive an acknowledgment of inclusion. If you do not receive any reply within 3-4 days it may mean that your classified submission has not been received. Should you deem that you abided by these conditions, then we apologise and ask that you re-submit your classified.

Alterations to, or withdrawal of, a classified on this site will require a you to request that action using the response email that was sent to you advising of its inclusion. We regret this action but it is to protect the users of this site. There have been instances where people have requested the withdrawal of a classified that did not belong to them.

We can, for legal reasons, only include the information you include in the text of the classified itself. That is, the information contained in the last box on the submission form.

When submitting your classified, please ensure that the text of the classified contains a method of contact such as an Email address, address, phone or web site. Failure to include this will mean the deletion of your classified without further consideration.

When submitting your classified, please include (not for publication) full details of name and contact address. This is required for verification and for legal purposes. This information is not used for any other purpose nor on-sold to any parties. Sections that are required are indicated by * - these sections must contain legitimate data.

Be sure to include the classification or section that you want your classified to appear in. We cannot, for legal reasons, make that choice for you (except for the following clause). If there is no classification set, your submission is automatically deleted.

Because of the abuse of this free site by people wanting to promote work from home schemes, all such classifieds will only be placed in one of the two special categories set up for these, regardless of what else may be requested, with a limit of one per person per section. the owners of this site will make that decision. we apologise to genuine users of the site for this decision.

A single photograph will cost $10.00 for each classified and you must supply the photograph as a graphic file of one of the following formats. Special graphics (such as logos) are classified as photographs. Such graphics may also be supplied on a 3.5" disk in one of the following formats only: GIF or .JPG. Photographs are included in the classified as a thumbnail with a link to a full photograph. Payments must be made before the classified will be placed online.

All classifieds must meet advertising standards and be in keeping with the family aspect of the regional Internet site as a whole. The management reserves the right to not accept any classified submitted for inclusion. Such classifieds will be returned with a covering note.

When submitting items for sale or give-away, it is ideal to include the region that you live in (eg. Tamworth Region or Lismore Region) so that people have an idea where they may need to come to collect the item. This is particularly important for Pets and Livestock classifieds.

Submissions for commercial sites, MUST have a return Email address to that company. This is necessary to prevent the use of the site by URL planters. Such submissions will be automatically deleted.

ALL submissions MUST have a valid return Email address for the submission (the first entry on the form). If there is no Email address or the Email adddress proves to be invalid (that is the acceptance advice is returned as not delivered) then your classified will NOT be accepted. PLEASE TAKE CARE IN ENTERING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. No advice can be given if there is no Email address..

Excessive submissions from a single Email address will cause that Email address to be blacklisted and no further submissions will be accepted. You are allowed one classified of the same (or similar) wording per category.

Excessive product listings which exceed the 60 word limit will be deleted without notice, unless it has been paid for.

Please choose categories carefully. If you attempt to place a classified in an obviously irrelevant category, your submission will be automatically deleted.

Do not place spaces in internet addresses or Email addresses which are not there in reality. We have to remove these to make them work and may remove spaces that should be there.
