These guidelines may be modified as time goes. Please follow them as closely as possible. Anyone who abuse this forum will have posting privileges revoked.

This forum was originally conceived as a repository for vendors to make announcements; limited to 4x4 goods and/or services (no Ponzi schemes or software sales, this is purely 4WD), sales, product developments, availability of new products, special offers. Readers will be allowed to interact w/ the vendors. [color:"yellow"] References to auction sites are not allowed[/color]

This forum has since undergone a transformation. In addition to the said above, this is the place to post deal findings and group buys by readers. A link to an eBay auction with a low starting price does not constitute a deal; however, an eBay listing with a good Buy It Now price can be.

This forum will NOT: allow customer service issues to come up; no flaming or bashing, just like on regular forums; non-4WD related announcements.

Be sure to include contact info: phone, email, and/or website. Also, include a brief history/description of your organization.

Vendors are encouraged to participate in tech discussions on the vehicle specific forums related to their products.

Do not reply just to bring the post up to the top more than once a month. If the listing is still valid or is ongoing, feel free to "bump" it back up after 30 days.

If your website has a section for outside links, we would appreciate a reference as a return gesture.

Please, check back periodically for public replies. Take advantage of the "email notification" feature. Reference to any auction site is limited to vendors with an advertisement contract and primarily does transactions via auction.

Originally, this forum was created so that vendors can make their prescense know to the 4x4wire community. Vendors were able to post announcements and specials. Group Buys were added to allow for all readers to take advantage of non-vehicle specific deals. For example, we have had readers do group buys ranging from tow straps to winches on vehicle specific forums.

What Our Readers Need to Know:
- 4x4Wire does not arrange for, sponsor, validate, or in any way support or profit from the group buys. We view group buys as informational and a service to our communities. We bear no responsibility whatsoever for group buys, we only make their availability known.
- The reader/vendor who brings up the group buy is solely responsible for the entire process.
- At minimum, the following details must be disclosed in a group buy posting: item, minimum quantity required, price, time-frame of delivery, any special terms/conditions.
- Please, keep group buys to 4x4-related items: parts, accessories, tools...

What we will NOT do:
- We will not sponsor a group buy.
- We will not intervene in the process.
- We will not get involved in problem resolution or failure to deliver. Caveat emptor!
- In short, neither 4x4Wire, staff or non-staff volunteers will be involved in sponsoring buys or in helping anyone resolve issues related to them.
