RULES

Three strikes rule, two warnings and after the third violation of any of these rules, buyer or seller is banned FOREVER (there are exceptions to this rule, some violations will result in an automatic ban, no strikes, no warnings)

It is 100% the user’s responsibility to KNOW these rules and the laws – this is not a classroom, admin is not here to teach you, this is a real platform with real consequences

No illegal activity or sales ever

Any user that conducts illegal sales or activities on this platform will be permanently banned from the site and the illegal activity will be reported to Federal Fish & Wildlife Enforcement and the user’s local/state Fish & Wildlife Enforcement

I DO NOT WANT TO GET ANYONE IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW – PLEASE – JUST DON’T DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL

If selling any part of a US protected species, it must be sold and advertised with CITES tags – bobcat, fisher, mountain lion, wolf, etc.

Any listing that needs a CITES tag must have a clear photo of the tag in the listing – no blurry or unreadable photos of the text on the tag

No sales of any marine mammals

No sales of any protected birds under the Migratory Birds Act

No sales of anything protected by the Lacey Act

No sales of anything illegal to own in that particular state/region – for seller or buyer

Sellers cannot list or sell anything illegal to own or sell in their own state/region

Buyers cannot purchase anything illegal to own or buy in their own state/region

If a verified purchase of an item that is illegal to sell, own, or buy, is made, this will result in a permanent and immediate ban for both buyer and seller – no strikes, no chances

Any sales of illegal items will be cancelled, sellers will not receive payment for the sale, buyers will not receive the item sold, and both seller and buyer will be banned

State and regional laws must be applied and is the responsibility of the user to know their own state/regional laws, not the responsibility of the site/admin

Even if a user claims they “didn’t know” about a certain site rule, law, or regulation, they will be issued the exact same warning/strike or ban that they would have if they “knew” the rules – there is no excuse to not know!

Make all sales though the WILDCAT : MARKETPLACE platform/website ONLY – for buyer and seller protection

Any sales that are made that were initiated on the WILDCAT : MARKETPLACE site but were conducted off the site will result in a permanent ban for BOTH buyer and seller – no strikes, no chances

Harassment, bullying, or any foul play/conversation will not be tolerated for any user towards anyone on the site, seller, buyer, or admin – be nice, be polite, and be a good human being

Only one warning will be given for harassment/bullying/foul wording offences, the following harassment offence will result in a ban

Sexual harassment of any kind, including “just flirting” will result in one warning, the next sexual harassment offence will result in a ban – this is a marketplace, not a dating site

Any strikes or bans administered to a user will be decided by a real human, not a bot or AI, humans make mistakes, so users may appeal the decision

Any determination made by an admin about a strike or a ban may be appealed by the affected user one time – after the review of the appeal, the decision is final and my not be appealed or removed

Any appeals about a strike or a ban will be reviewed by a real human/admin, not a bot or AI

Strikes and bans are permanent and will follow the user if they create a new account on this platform – for example, if a user has two strikes and tries to make a new account, that account will automatically also have two strikes on record

There will be a checkbox during the account creation process and the listing process that confirms the user has read and agreed to all of these terms and that they accept responsibility for everything they do on the site

If a user does not know or is unsure about a law, rule, or regulation, ASK THE ADMIN, there is a live chat function in the site that will allow you to ask questions and raise concerns

Strict NO AI policy, no AI enhanced photos or artwork or descriptions AT ALL – write your own descriptions, take your own pictures, make your own art

Each listing with any AI components will receive one strike

Any attempt to scam a buyer or seller out of money or an item will result in a permanent ban, no strikes, no chances

It is not the admin’s goal to administer strikes or bans, but it will be admin’s responsibility to do so if necessary
