At DeaLinko, we aim to create a positive, safe, and enjoyable space for users to buy and sell second-hand goods. Our community thrives on trust, respect, and transparency, which is why we’ve established these guidelines to ensure everyone can have a great experience on our platform. By using DeaLinko, you agree to follow these rules.

1. Be Respectful and Kind

• Treat others with respect: Whether you are a buyer or a seller, always interact politely and courteously. We encourage open communication, but any form of harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory behavior is strictly prohibited.
• Be professional: Use clear, polite, and professional language when communicating with others. Respect everyone’s time and effort, whether you’re negotiating, asking questions, or finalizing a deal.

2. Post Accurate and Honest Listings

• Honesty is essential: When listing items for sale, provide truthful and accurate descriptions, including the condition of the product. Do not mislead or misrepresent the item’s quality, features, or condition.
• Upload real images: Only upload photos of the actual item you’re selling. Do not use stock photos or images that do not accurately represent the product.

3. Avoid Prohibited Content

• No illegal items: Do not post or sell items that are illegal, banned, or prohibited by law. This includes counterfeit goods, stolen items, and other products that violate local or national regulations.
• Respect intellectual property: Do not list items that infringe on trademarks, copyrights, or patents. This includes counterfeit, pirated, or unauthorized copies of products.
• No harmful or inappropriate content: Content that promotes violence, hate speech, explicit material, or anything that may harm or offend other users is strictly prohibited.

4. Promote Fair Trading Practices

• No spam or multiple identical ads: Avoid posting multiple listings for the same item or excessive ads for similar items. Each item should have its own listing with relevant and accurate details.
• Fair pricing: Set a reasonable and competitive price for your products. If your price is too high or unfair, it may discourage potential buyers.
• Honoring agreements: Both buyers and sellers are expected to honor their commitments once a deal has been agreed upon. If either party needs to cancel or adjust the agreement, communicate respectfully and promptly.

5. Protect Privacy and Security

• Do not share sensitive information: For your safety and privacy, do not share personal information such as passwords, banking details, or private identification numbers on public areas of the site. Use secure methods for transactions, and always verify payment methods before completing a deal.
• Respect others’ privacy: Do not share the personal information of other users, including their contact details, without permission.

6. Report Misconduct

• Report violations: If you encounter suspicious behavior, offensive content, or any violations of these guidelines, please report them to us immediately. We take violations seriously and will investigate any complaints promptly.
• Trust the process: If you feel you’ve been treated unfairly or are having issues with another user, follow the platform’s processes for resolving disputes. We encourage direct communication first, but we are here to help if needed.

7. Be Honest in Reviews and Feedback

• Leave constructive feedback: After completing a transaction, leave a fair and honest review of your experience. Positive reviews help build trust within the community, while constructive criticism can help improve the service.
• Be respectful: Reviews should reflect your true experience. Avoid posting malicious, misleading, or defamatory comments about sellers or buyers.

8. Follow Local Laws

• Know and follow the law: All users must comply with local, state, and national laws regarding the sale, purchase, and shipment of goods. Make sure the items you are selling or buying are legal in your region.
• Respect customs regulations: If shipping items internationally, be aware of any customs regulations and ensure your item is permissible for export or import.

9. Maintain the Integrity of the Platform

• No manipulation: Do not attempt to manipulate or cheat the system, such as posting fake reviews, misleading listings, or using multiple accounts to artificially inflate your seller profile.
• No fraudulent activity: Fraudulent activity, such as offering items you don’t actually own, intentionally deceiving buyers, or charging for non-existent items, will result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.
