Introduction

We continue to work to ensure that participants in the domestic music scene receive the attention and opportunities they deserve. Below you can find the rules required by law for pages of this nature. We know that almost no one reads this, but we ask you to carefully study it so that using the site is simple and hassle-free.

Our Core Principles

1. We will relentlessly eradicate advertisements that appear more than once in the system.

2. Our goal is the cleanliness of the site. We do not support the sale of counterfeit musical instruments and, to the extent of our capabilities, we will take action against fraudsters. Advertising counterfeit goods on the site leads to immediate exclusion.

3. Registered members can be rated (Rating System), so you must be prepared for the ratings displayed on your profile page.

4. We provide space for the "wanted" listing of stolen instruments on a dedicated interface created for this purpose (WANTED Forum).

5. It is forbidden to carry out activities on the site that violate the personal rights of others, or that cause harm to another user or the site operator.

6. It is also forbidden to post advertisements where the title of the advertisement contains entries not expressly related to the subject. e.g.:

   • SALE!!!!
   • PRICE DROP!!!
   • Unbelievable gooood buy!!!!

7. Please avoid cheap, hackneyed advertising tricks in the advertisements. Do not use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in the title or the body of the advertisement.

8. In the advertisement text, use punctuation marks, capital letters at the beginning of sentences, and spaces after punctuation marks. In general, ensure that the advertisement text is well-articulated and contains the essence of the listing. If you list data, use "- " characters, and one data per line...etc

9. We generally like nice-looking sites. If the advertisements look bad, the site will also look bad, and we do not want that.
