Aqqaint’s Community Guidelines

 

Last Updated [May 25th, 2018]

Aqqaint was built with the mission of bringing integrity and trust to social marketplaces. We expect each and every one of our users to treat each other with nothing less.

Aqqaint makes it easier and safer than ever to find great deals, reviews and to exchange with people you know. Every exchange requires trust. We expect our users to represent themselves truthfully and accurately, as well as the products or reviews they offer.

First let’s discuss what we expect:

  • Items for sale should be accurately represented in clear, well-lit photos, and accurately represent the condition of the item. Stock photos of an item are only acceptable for recommended products and should not be used for items available for loan, barter, or sale.
  • Prices should be set in good faith and at a price that you intend to accept.
  • You may not spam the listing feed by posting the same item multiple times. Any attempts to circumvent our anti-spam filters will be seen as breach of these guidelines.
  • Product recommendations are a great way to share the items you love with your community. However, if you have a relationship to the seller, manufacturer, or distributor of the product you must make that known in the recommendation. Be honest and clear.

Aqqaint is a community of friends and friends of friends.

It should go with out saying that we follow the Golden Rule at Aqqaint. Treat others as you want to be treated. Be honest in your communication and respectful in your conduct. We feel that buying, selling, loaning, and bartering for used goods is a great way to build community, save money, and de-clutter. However, this all requires trust and respect.

Now let’s discuss what we won’t tolerate:

  • Any form of harassment, intimidation, threats, or abusive behavior
  • Items that promote or support hate groups
  • Items that depict or glorify violence
  • Racial slurs

If you don’t own it you don’t have a right to sell it!

We also will not tolerate the sale of any stolen or items appropriated through unlawful means. So if you don’t have a right to sell it, we don’t want it. We have a zero tolerance policy for stolen goods. This also applies to counterfeit goods and replicas which are sold without the permission of the rightful owner.

Prohibited items include:

  • Counterfeit goods
  • Replicas that are sold without consent from the trademark owner
  • Stocks and other securities, as well as other non-transferable items
  • Stolen goods
  • Hacking tools
  • Vehicles where you are not the titleholder

We follow the law, and we expect you to as well.
