Welcome to Island Classifieds. By accessing Island Classifieds you are agreeing to the following terms, which are designed to make sure that Island Classifieds works for everyone. This policy is effective April 2 2008.

Using Island Classifieds. You should post in the appropriate category or area and should not do any of the following:

• violate any laws

• infringe any third-party right;
• distribute or contain spam, chain letters, or pyramid schemes;

• collect information about others, including email addresses, without their consent;
• Bypass measures used to prevent or restrict access to Island Classifieds.

Abusing Island Classifieds. Please use the flagging system to tell us about any problems or offensive content so that together we can keep the site working properly. We may limit or terminate our service, remove hosted content and take technical and legal steps to keep users off Island Classifieds if we think that they are creating problems or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off Island Classifieds or not, we do not accept any liability for monitoring Island Classifieds or for unauthorized or unlawful content on Island Classifieds or use of Island Classifieds by users.

Fees and Services. Using Island Classifieds is completely free. This includes posting an Ad, replying to an Ad, posting in the forums, etc. We may charge fees for premium services such as featuring your Ad in the Top Ads section. Our fees are quoted in Canadian Dollars, and we may change them from time to time. Our fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for paying them when they're due. If you don't, we may limit your ability to use the services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms (for accounts over 180 days past due, we may deduct the amount owed from your PayPal account balance).

Content. You agree not to copy, modify, or distribute Island Classifieds our copyrights or trademarks. When you give us content, you are granting us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights to that content. (We need these rights to host and display your content.) If you believe that your rights have been violated, please notify our designated copyright agent Island Classifieds and we will investigate the matter. We reserve the right to remove content where we have grounds for suspecting the violation of these terms or of any party’s rights.

Liability. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do. As most of the content on Island Classifieds comes from other users, we do not guarantee the accuracy of postings or user communications or the quality, safety, or legality of what’s offered. We also cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our services. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted we expressly disclaim all warranties, representations and conditions, express or implied, including those of quality, merchantability, merchantable quality, durability, fitness for a particular purpose and those arising by statute. We are not liable for any loss, whether of money (including profit), goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of Island Classifieds, even if you advise us or we could reasonably foresee the possibility of any such damage occurring. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Despite the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or any third party (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability in tort, by statute or otherwise) is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you pay to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to liability, and (b) 100 dollars.
