2. Provide complete contact information on their web site(s), including the physical address at which the site owner may be contacted. (Members may opt to display EITHER a valid email address OR a functioning telephone number. Both are not required. However, if a telephone number is displayed, the available hours for contact should also be displayed)
    
3. Provide only secure and industry-accepted payment options on their web site(s) for payment by credit card or bank debit card.

7. Refrain from sending unsolicited commercial bulk email (SPAM) for any marketing purpose whatsoever. (We urge all our members to sign "The Boulder Pledge" - see below)

9. Not participate in the sale or distribution of any personal information of site visitors or customers to third parties.
    
10. Not participate in any affiliate program that sells, or supports in any way, any questionable or unethical business practice.
     
11. Not participate in any affiliate program that sells, or supports marketing courses teaching how to use "spam", or any product designed to collect email addresses from the Web without permission, or any program that does not protect the privacy rights of participants, or any product or service that invades the privacy of others.
     
12. Comply with all regulations prohibiting discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
     
13. Not participate in any illegal activities, or any violation of intellectual property rights.
     
14. Comply with all local laws pertinent to the geographical areas covered by their web site(s)
     
15. Encourage responsible filtering programs like CyberPatrol, CyberSitter and NetNanny so that minors do not get access to adult material
     
16. Where necessary, alert surfers that sexually-explicit materials will be found on their site. This measure is designed to prevent those who are either unwilling or legally unable to view adult materials from accidentally stumbling upon this content; and is an indication that the website owners are making a good-faith attempt to restrict access to their content to those willing and legally able to view sexually-explicit materials
     
17. Where required, display a legal, correctly formatted and presented ’2257 statement

Web sites that do not meet these guidelines, are not be allowed to display the Adult-Trust Seal of Integrity

These terms may be adjusted from time to time to suit market conditions, as needed. Current Adult-Trust members will have 60 days following notification of changes to either comply, or remove the Adult-Trust seal(s) from their web site(s).

Any Adult-Trust member who participates in the use of "spam" in any way, will be have all their Adult-Trust privileges revoked immediately and without recourse.

No responsibility or liability is taken/accepted by Adult-Trust for anything arising from the rejection of any application for use or continued use of the seal, for any reason.

• Consumers should carefully read ALL parts of the merchant's website/auctions before purchasing any products/services, in order to be totally aware of any aspects and possible consequences involved in the transaction.
   
• Consumers should not at any time defame or/and libel, post and/or publish abusive content with the intent of deliberately attacking a merchant reputation.
   
• Consumers should not initiate a Credit Card dispute if they have received what is stated on the merchant's website/auction. In case of services or digital goods, if the merchant offers no refund on the web site or auction, the it is unethical to demand your money back just because you have changed your mind, so, think before you buy!
   
• Consumers should try to work pro-actively together with the merchant, before initiating any dispute. Give the merchant a chance to fix any mistake. Sending a support request or complaining about a product/service and expecting to get an answer or/and a solution within minutes is not realistic. Even internet merchants have the right to time with their families!
   
• Consumers should provide correct personal information when ordering, and advise the merchant of any changes of their contact information.
