The Dizpins
Terms of Use for All Message Boards
|
Last revised
December 14, 2008 11:58 AM
|
These boards will stay open under specific guidelines, and the Administrators
and Moderators reserve the right to close them at any time without notice. All
posts on the Discussion Board will pertain to Disney Pin Trading and Collecting
only. Any posts that do not adhere to Disney Pin Trading and Collecting will
be deleted or moved to the appropriate board at the discretion of the Moderators.
The Dizpins Boards are open and available for anyone to post. We reserve the
right to delete, edit or close posts that make personal references, contain
obscenities, are inflammatory, contain personal attacks, or are in anyway inappropriate
as per the judgment of the Administration. All posts that become excessively
negative in the judgment of the moderators will also be closed, edited, or deleted.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for whatever material you submit, and
you, not Dizpins, has full responsibility for the message, including its legality,
reliability, appropriateness, originality and copyright.
Dizpins will also not be liable for any personal attacks made on this web site.
The Dizpins Boards are provided for entertainment and informational purposes
only. Opinions or views expressed on the Boards do not necessarily reflect those
of Dizpins.
Please confine posts for trades and sales to the proper boards, and combine
your posts into one post. The Moderators will edit or delete multiple posts
by the same user or combine them into one post, if applicable.
The general discussion board is for pin information and discussion only. All
other posts will be confined to the proper board, i.e., Cruise Posts on the
Cruise Board and any Off Topic Posts will be placed in the Dizpins Coffee Shop
and OT Forum.
Dizpins does not permit the use of these Boards for commercial purposes of any
kind, with the exception of the personal sale of pins and pin trading items
on the Dizpins Sale Board. Any other solicitation, such as charity or the sale
of other items, must be requested in writing to the Administrator of the Board
before posting. Dizpins is not responsible for any contests, pin swaps, etc.
conducted by individual members.
Contests, Zaps and Pin Swaps
may be started by any member and will be placed in the Zaps, Swaps and Contests
Forum. If you start a contest and/or pin swap, the rules and guidelines must
be posted. Dizpins is not responsible for any contests, pin swaps, etc. conducted
by individual members.
Links to personal pages for display or sharing of pin related materials are
permitted. If a linked, urled page or a link to another site and/or forum is
posted, either in the body content of the post or the poster's signature, we
respectfully request a return link to Dizpins. Appropriate informational links
are allowed, however, we reserve the right to remove any link and/or reference
to inappropriate sites and/or material content. Inappropriate links in signature
lines or in posts, per the judgment of the Administration, will be deleted.
Due to the controversial issues sometimes associated with links contained within
myspace.com, we will not permit links to myspace.com.
The use of any technology which harvests/exstracts our content, including e-mail
addresses from members, is also forbidden, including but not limited to Offline,
Stripper, Webzip, and Web Downloader. If we catch you violating these terms
we won't issue a warning. We will invoke our ZERO TOLERANCE policy and lodge
formal complaints with your ISP, Web Hosting Company, master domain that hosts
your site if you do own a domain, Upstream Providers, and applicable federal
and state authorities. In other words, you agree that you will not use
Dizpins to transmit spam, bulk or unsolicited communications. Your membership
to Dizpins will also be terminated and that termination will be permanent.
No links or references to auctions are permitted on ANY board or in your personal
profile or signature. Links to auctions such as charities or the solicitation
of funds solely for the use for Dizpins and Pinpics maintenance, must be requested
in writing to the Administrator of the Board before posting.
There have been many posts about auctions that we find on the various auction
sites. Ultimately, these posts tend to discuss either the bidder or the seller
or both.
We do not know the circumstances surrounding auctions, such as why a seller
is selling a pin; how he or she acquired the pin; or what a person bids on a
pin. We want to avoid any misunderstandings or personal feelings, as many of
the posters on this board buy and sell on auction sites.
As such, we ask that you be respectful of people by refraining from discussing
auctions, prices, buyers and sellers. These posts will be deleted.
However, if a
member makes an informational post, and that member requests a trade for that
pin or involving that pin, we will allow it to stay on the Discussion Board.
ALL pin trading posts will be confined to the Trade Board. This board is for
the trading of Disney pins and pin related items ONLY. Please combine your postings
to save on space and for the consideration of others. The moderators reserve
the right to edit and/or combine any and all trade posts. If you are trading
pins for any items other than pins, please post on the Dizpins Coffee Shop.
Please help keep the boards clean! Once you have sold or traded your pin(s),
or you've found the pin(s) you're looking for, please edit the subject line
of your post to say, "PLEASE DELETE". This will inform the moderators, and all
the other members, that your sale or trade is complete. At that point, one of
the moderators will delete your post. You will not be notified of the deletion
via email or private message.
Any transactions completed on the Boards, including sales and trades, are not
under the control of Dizpins and therefore Dizpins cannot be held liable.
If you are selling any item other than pins, please post on the Dizpins Coffee
Shop. Posts on the Sale Board listing any and all non-pin items will be moved
to the Dizpins Coffee Shop. If
listing items for sale on the Coffee Shop, you
must state a specific price for the item(s) you are selling, and you must adhere
to the prices you list. No "make offers" or links or references to personal
auctions are permitted.
Japan Disney Mall pins being sold by members of the Ohana may be stickied to the Sale Board with a closed reference post on the Discussion Board.
If you have a question
about a post, please e-mail info@dizpins.com
and the appropriate Terms of Use will be forwarded to you with the statement
“This communication is intended for the use of the individual or entity
to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary,
confidential and exempt from disclosure”.
The Administrators and Moderators of Dizpins reserve the right to suspend or
ban any person from posting on these boards with or without cause. We also reserve
the right to forego account suspension and immediately ban anyone from posting
on the boards at any time, with or without following the protocol below.
Banning is a private matter
between the Moderators and person banned and will not be discussed publicly
or through third parties. It is not acceptable to return to the boards under
another username, if you are banned. If you do, your ban will be permanent,
including banning of your ISP.
When any member violates the Dizpins Boards Terms of Use, the Administrators
have the right to use the following protocol:
First Offense - A warning email will be sent to the member, if their e-mail
is public and/or they have their ezboard inbox activated.
Second Offense - 30 day suspension and warning of possible ban. After the 30
days has passed, the suspended member will email info@dizpins.com
with "Suspension" in the subject line, if they desire to have their account
reinstated.
Third Offense - Permanent Banning from the Dizpins Boards.
**Please note that any person permanently banned from the Dizpins Boards
for bad trading and/or bad selling practices or any person banned from Pinpics,
will also have their references removed, if present, from the Dizpins Reference
Center.

Legalities
Dizpins does not undertake to monitor every communication or monitor the conduct
of every user of the Chat Service. Dizpins Moderators will be on-line from time
to time, in order to help ensure that other users are adhering to the conditions
of use. Dizpins cannot guarantee the prompt editing or removal of any content.
Dizpins is not liable for the content of any material accessed via the internet
or any adverse treatment of any information placed by you anywhere on the internet
or any loss or damage that you may suffer as a result. Dizpins does not endorse
any opinions expressed by other users of Dizpins Chat. Dizpins reserves the
right at its sole discretion to remove material from Dizpins Chat or close the
chat room at any time with or without notice. Dizpins chat consists of information
posted by third parties. As a result Dizpins accepts no liability in respect
to the accuracy or truthfulness of any advice, information or data posted on-line
or any responsibility for the consequences of your acting in reliance on such
information. If you fail to observe these conditions of use or the Dizpins Conditions
of Membership at any time, Dizpins reserves the right to exclude you (either
temporarily or permanently) from Dizpins Chat and/or the Dizpins Community depending
on the nature and severity of your breach. Dizpins reserves the right to deny
access to Dizpins Chat to repeated breaches of these conditions of use or our
Conditions of Membership.
Dizpins is not responsible for the content or context of any chats that do not
occur in the Dizpins Chat Room. Dizpins is not responsible for any chat(s) that
occur at any other website other than Dizpins, which is not Dizpins sanctioned
and as such, we are not responsible and therefore, cannot be held liable.
The originator of the co-op may post on the Discussion Board that they will be running a co-op for merchandise, either a DA LE 100 Pin co-op or a co-op of merchandise from an event and that post will contain a link to a post on the Sale Board for interested parties. The post on the Discussion Board will then be closed. All interested parties will post to the thread on the Sale Board. The post on the Sale Board will be stickied, and once the co-op has been completed, the post will be closed and moved to the Closed Topic Board for reference.
If you are a confirmed registrant for an event, you may make a "co-op interest" post on the Sale Board stating that there is NO GUARANTEE that the item will be won on your RSP and there is a chance that you and the interested parties may not get this merchandise. Only confirmed registrants to an event may start a post for a co-op interest thread for event merchandise and this person will run the co-op. These posts will not be stickied. "Interest" posts will not be permitted on any forum except the Sale Board. Any interested parties will post in the interest thread on the Sale Board and e-mail the confirmed event registrant who will be putting the merchandise on his or her RSP and thus running the co-op. Any and all business transactions regarding this co-op will then be handled through personal e-mails.
Co-ops for Disney Framed Sets may be started on the Sale Board. If you are the person who will purchase the Framed Set, your post will be stickied on the Sale Board. The terms of your purchasing of the Framed Set and the terms of your co-op must be stated in your post. If the purchase of the Framed Set is confirmed, the buyer of the Framed Set may post on the Discussion Board that they will be running a co-op for the Framed Set and that post will contain a link to a post on the Sale Board for interested parties. The post on the Discussion Board will then be closed.
"Interest" posts for Framed Sets may be started on the Sale Board. In other words, if you are interested in a certain pin or pins from a Framed Set, you may post an "interest" post on the Sale Board. Others may post on this thread if they are also interested in any pins from the Framed Set. Once a "buyer" has been found, please e-mail Joette (wmchugh@rochester.rr.com) or Bev (niawen@aol.com) and we will edit the thread to state that it is a confirmed co-op for a framed set. The confirmed buyer will then start a new post with what pins have been taken and what pins are still available, as well as posting the terms of the co-op. Interest posts will not count against your one post on the Sale Board.
Out of courtesy
for others posting on the Sale Board, we ask that only one interest thread per
Framed Set be used.
