We have a targeted audience for your business to gain customers and a great reputation from.
TERMS OF USE
DISCUSSING TOPICS WITH "SUPPORTING" VENDORS:
Oftentimes "supporting" vendors or their staff will post messages and replies on our message board. We encourage our "supporting" vendors to be a part of our community like any other member. (See "Non-supporting Vendors") However, from time-to-time members have problems or issues with "supporting" vendors pertaining to product performance claims, shipping schedules, pricing, returning phone calls, etc. It is important for all members (and "supporting" vendors) to understand that discussing opposing views, beyond a point of logical and sound business principles, offers nothing beneficial for either side.
Angry arguments, harmful accusations or damaging comments will not be permitted. Neither party benefits when this happens! If you must discuss personal matters (that is of no interest to members) with a "supporting" vendor, please communicate in private by phone or e-mail.
In all due respect, we remind members to accept that supporting vendors may be biased toward their own products when discussing comparison products. In turn, we remind "supporting" vendors that members may have different viewpoints or opinions about their products. Both "supporting" vendors and members have the rights and freedom to express these viewpoints and opinions in the open forum of our message board as long as discussions are constructive, beneficial to other members and carried out in a thoughtful and professional business-like manner.
NON-SUPPORTING VENDORS:
Non-supporting vendors are welcome to participate on the board and use its many features with full privileges. However, we must ask that all non-supporting vendors (including agents, dealers, staff, etc.) not advertise or promote any companies, products or services in any way. The use of text, logos, images, links or any other means to advertise, promote or obtain potential business while participating on the message board will not be allowed.
This includes, but is not limited to, all messages, profile signatures or any other communicative features available on FJCCentral.com. A list of our supporting vendors can be viewed on the Supporting Vendors Forum.
Leaders and members of other boards are also welcome to participate on the board and use its many features with full privileges. However, as with non-supporting vendors, we also request that you not advertise or promote your board in any way.
All sponsorship money goes to the continued operation of FJCCentral.com. It offsets our server and domain hosting, licensing costs and other site related expenditures. in the unlikely event that the forum should permanently or temporarily cease operations, please note that no refunds partial or in full will be made. We will however make all efforts possible to alert you, in advance should this occur.
We reserve the right to modify or adjust these terms or our sponsorship plans/policies to meet the needs of our members and/or vendors should we deem it necessary. Please note that the plans outline what you will receive for your sponsorship. There should be no expectation of special privileges and/or exceptions to the Forum Rules.
