About Classifieds: The Canadian Rodder Forum is a place for enthusiasts to get together and DISCUSS our hobby. All other functions are secondary. It is NOT an online marketplace. The Classifieds section of this forum is provided as a secondary courtesy for SUPPORTING MEMBERS to place classifieds for car-related items for sale. We do not provide a secure transaction environment. The actual transactions and interactions are, and should be, entirely separate from this forum. This is NOT a trading community. As a result, since it is part of the transaction, transaction feedback, positive and negative, is NOT WELCOME.

Note that it is impossible for us to confirm the validity of posts on this forum. Please remember that we DO NOT actively monitor the posted messages and are not responsible for their content. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information presented. The messages express the views of the author, not necessarily the views of Canadian Rodder. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator of this forum immediately. We have the rights to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy goes for member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this forum, and any related websites to this forum. We also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any information we have about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any information posted by you.

You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another member, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another member's account to post messages or browse this forum.

After you register and log into this forum, you can fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information we deem inaccurate or vulgar will be removed.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

We recommended, but do not insist, that you, immediately after registering, proceed to the Introductions sub-forum and post a few lines about yourself, your automotive interests, your location and anything else you feel appropriate. While this is not mandatory, the other forum members regard this as an act of "comrodderie" and appropriate to the spirit of this community. Besides, the other members are truly interested in what brought you here and what you hope to get out of this forum.

These terms may be changed at any time without notice.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not register or use the Service. Use of the Service constitutes acceptance of these terms. If you wish to close your account, please contact us.
