Are there any items prohibited from being advertised on RVCN sites? [top of list]

Do to recent events, we have added a list of items prohibited from being advertised in our classifieds. Some items seem silly to post here, but we live in a bizarre world, and RVCN takes seriously our policies to ensure compliance.

It is the responsibility of both the seller and the buyer to ensure that the items or services listed for sale and bought by users are appropriate for sale under all applicable laws and regulations. You may not sell the following items or services under any circumstances:

1. Any item or service that is harmful to minors, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
2. Illegal or restricted weapons and related accessories, including the following:
   • Firearms and firearm accessories, including ammunition, scopes, and silencers
   • Switchblade knives.
   • Any concealed weapon.
   • Any explosive device.
   • Martial arts weapons.
3. Cigarettes, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia (including items to grow, manufacture, or distribute the same), prescription drugs, and medical devices, including any medical device that requires fitting by a certified practitioner or licensed seller.

5. Any item that infringes the rights of a third party, including items that violate copyrights, trademarks, publicity, or privacy rights of third parties. Examples include, but are not limited to:
• Unauthorized copies of software, music, video games, movies, photos, or other media.
• Bootleg recordings of concerts, movies, or other performances.
• Sale of back-up copies of software.
6. Any item that is counterfeit or stolen, including items that are:
• "Replicas," "knock-offs," in the same "style" as, or "fake" versions of a name brand product.
• Counterfeit, or for the purpose of producing counterfeit, currency, stamps, government identification.
• Inauthentic sports collectibles, celebrity autographs, or otherwise inauthentic versions of memorabilia or other items with inauthentic signatures.
• Any item for gaining unauthorized entry to a place or vehicle including lock-picking devices, vehicle master keys, and other devices.
7. Any item that promotes, glorifies, or is directly associated with groups or individuals known principally for hateful or violent positions or acts, such as Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan. Official government-issue stamps and coins are not prohibited under this policy. Expressive media, such as books and films, may be subject to more permissive standards as determined by RVCN in its sole discretion.
8. Any animal items that are subject to regulations or laws for the protection of live animals, including endangered species and domesticated animals, as well as any products made from or including any parts of an animal protected by law or regulation.
9. Any item that has been the subject of a product recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, other government agency, or product manufacturer.

20. Any items that are "adult oriented" in nature or marketed in an objectionable manner, as determined in RVCN's sole discretion.
21. Any other item or service that violates any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation or which RVCN determines, in its sole discretion, is inappropriate for sale through the services provided by RVCN.

Can I post anything in the classifieds? [top of list]

Classifieds are provided for RV, bus conversion and camping related items. Our purpose is not to list anything and everything our users want; only those things that would be useful for other RVers or campers, and that they might look for here.

Here are things you must not do:

1. Fraud. You may not use or manipulate this service for any fraudulent activity or purpose, including collecting payment from buyers and not providing the item or service purchased, or filing false claims for insurance payments.
2. Interference. You may not spam our system and/or impose an unreasonably or disproportionately large load on our system. You may not put any material on RVCN Classifieds that contains any viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer programming routines that may damage, interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information. You may not solicit RVCN Classifieds users to post ads on other classifieds sites.
3. Passwords. You are solely responsible for actions taken under your password and should not disclose it to anyone else. You cannot use your password for any unauthorized purpose.

Can I post what some may refer to as SPAM (not the meat product)? [top of list]

RVCN Classifieds encourages you to post ads in RVCN Classifieds as long as they are not duplicates or other forms of spam, or otherwise inconsistent with the RVCN Classifieds Guidelines. RVCN may take action to delete classifieds ads and/or RVCN user accounts that we believe are misusing this service. Prohibited spam or otherwise impermissible marketing activities in RVCN Classifieds may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Posting an ad that is unrelated to the category in which the ad is placed.
2. Posting identical ads in the same category and location.
3. Posting an ad with inappropriate links, titles, descriptions, or unauthorized use of content to which the person posting does not have rights.
4. Posting a multi-level marketing position or other non-traditional job not involving a W2 or 1099.
5. Posting an ad for the sole purpose of collecting user information or raising money.
6. Posting an ad that contains unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional materials. This may include an ad that instruct the user(s) to contact the person/company posting the ad for more information and then require the user to pay a fee for that information.
7. Posting a job ad that requires a monetary investment by the user at any time.
8. Posting an ad that requires a user to register before getting detailed information about the product or position.
9. Posting an ad through unauthorized robots (crawling software).
10. Soliciting a RVCN Classifieds user to post an ad in another classifieds site.

RVCN Classifieds users do not appreciate spam. Spamming gives you and your service a bad name and decreases the effectiveness of your ads. RVCN may take corrective action, at our discretion, when prohibited activities or other misuses of the service become apparent.

Do you have seller guidelines? [top of list]

Yes, we do. All sellers must:

1. Comply with applicable laws. You may not offer for sale or sell an item or service to any buyer in a jurisdiction where the item, service, or terms of the sale violate applicable laws or regulations. You also may not offer for sale any item or service that violates RVCN’s policies as described below in "Prohibited Items and Services."
2. Provide accurate information. You must accurately describe the item you are selling. You may not include any language in your ad, including the ad title, which may confuse potential buyers or cause your ad to be included in search results to which it is not responsive.
3. Place item in the appropriate category. You must list your item in the most appropriate category. Each item can only be listed in one category.
4. Avoid inappropriate ad content. You may not link to, post, or include advertisements for goods or other materials that: (a) describe items or services that you are not selling in RVCN Classifieds, or (b) you do not have right to link to or include. You also may not include any content or images in your ad that are obscene, offensive, harmful to minors, invasive of anyone’s privacy, or otherwise inappropriate. RVCN reserves the right to modify your ad, if necessary, to remove content not in compliance.
5. Have the rights to and possession of item. You may not offer any item for sale that is not in your possession, you do not have the right to sell, or that does not exist at the time of the ad.
