CRAIGSLIST TERMS OF USE
Last Updated: February 14, 2012

1. GENERAL

craigslist, Inc. ("CL") provides services through its websites, programs and computer servers, including but not limited to classified advertising, forums, and email forwarding. (All such services are referred to collectively herein as "craigslist.") By accessing or using craigslist, you are a "user" and you accept and agree to the terms below (the "Terms of Use" or "TOU") as a legal contract between you and CL. The TOU include and incorporate additional terms ("guidelines") applicable to particular categories or services available on craigslist as set forth to users upon access to such categories or services. CL may post changes to the TOU at any time, and any such changes will be applicable to all subsequent access to or use of craigslist.

If you do not accept and agree to all provisions of the TOU, now or in the future, you may reject the TOU by immediately terminating all access and use of craigslist, in which case any continuing access or use of craigslist is unauthorized.

You are also required to comply with, and to ensure compliance with, all laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to your activities on craigslist.

craigslist is intended and designed for users 18 years of age and older, and access or use by anyone younger is not authorized.

The TOU grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to access craigslist and use craigslist, in whole or in part, including but not limited to CL intellectual property therein, solely in compliance with the TOU.

"CRAIGSLIST" and "CL" are trademarks of CL and are protected by United States and international laws. The TOU do not authorize you to use "CRAIGSLIST," "CL" or any similar or related marks (including, for example and without limitation, "Craigs," "Craig," "Craig's" and "_______list") for any use pertaining to classified advertising, Internet advertising, social networks, online forums, online communication services or any similar or related use, or any other use that is likely to cause confusion on the part of, to cause mistake by or to deceive the public as to any affiliation, connection, association, origin, sponsorship, approval or endorsement by or with CL.

2. MODERATION

CL has the right, but not the obligation, to regulate content (which includes but is not limited to postings, text, code, images, video, binary files, ads, accounts, account information, flags, emails, messages and any other user communications ("content")) posted to, stored on or transmitted via craigslist by any user (or any other third party in any manner); to regulate conduct (including but not limited to any authorized or unauthorized access to or use of craigslist) by any user (or any other third party in any manner); and to enforce the TOU, for any reason and in any manner or by any means that CL, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate (including but not limited to automated and manual screening, blocking, filtering, exclusion from index pages, exclusion from search results, requiring the use of an application programming interface (API), requiring the use of a bulk posting interface, authorization, verification, and the deletion and/or termination of content, accounts and/or all or any use or access). CL may, in its sole discretion and without notice, start, stop or modify any regulation or enforcement measures at any time. CL action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of the TOU by any user (or any other third party) does not waive CL's right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct or potential TOU violation.

You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by CL or any of its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, "CL Representatives") to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential TOU violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither CL nor any CL Representative shall be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of the TOU.

Although CL Representatives may moderate content, conduct and TOU compliance on craigslist at CL's discretion, CL Representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on behalf of CL will "take care" of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on behalf of CL will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported TOU violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by any CL Representative (or by anyone else acting on behalf of CL or by anyone purportedly acting on behalf of CL) that CL (including but not limited to any CL Representative, anyone else acting on behalf of CL, or anyone purportedly acting on behalf of CL) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that CL, CL Representatives and anyone else authorized to act on behalf of CL shall in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that CL, a CL Representative or anyone else on behalf of CL would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by CL's Chief Executive Officer and dated and signed by the individual or entity to whom the modification, waiver or release is granted.

CL also has the right in its sole discretion to limit, modify, interrupt, suspend or discontinue all or any portions of craigslist at any time without notice. CL and CL Representatives shall not be liable for any such limitations, modifications, interruptions, suspensions or discontinuance, or any purported losses, harm or damages arising from or related thereto.

You also expressly grant and assign to CL all rights and causes of action to prohibit and enforce against any unauthorized copying, performance, display, distribution, use or exploitation of, or creation of derivative works from, any content that you post (including but not limited to any unauthorized downloading, extraction, harvesting, collection or aggregation of content that you post).

This indemnification obligation includes payment of any attorneys' fees and costs incurred by CL or CL Representatives.

4. POSTING AND ACCOUNTS

This section 4 applies to all uses and users of craigslist, unless CL has specifically authorized an exception to a particular term for a particular user in a written agreement. CL has sole and absolute discretion to authorize or deny any exception or exceptions to the terms in this section 4.

a. Postings

craigslist is intended and designed as a local service. A user may post content only to the single specific geographic area offered on craigslist (see http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites) for which that content is most relevant. The same or substantially similar content (for example, an ad for a particular item or service, a particular offer, a particular message or a particular comment) may not be posted to or communicated via more than one such geographic area. Content that is equally relevant to multiple (i.e., more than one) geographic areas should not be posted on craigslist.

The same or substantially similar content may not be posted in more than one craigslist category. A user may post content only in the single craigslist category to which it is most relevant, and must not post content to inappropriate categories. For example, content advertising classes or vocational training must be posted under the "classes" category of the "community" section and may not be posted in any "jobs" category. Likewise, content advertising auto financing must be posted under the "financial" category of the "services" sections and not under "cars/trucks" category in the "for sale" section. Similarly, services relating to real estate must be posted under "real estate" category of the "services" section and may not be posted to any category within the "housing" section.

A user may post the same or substantially similar content no more than once every 48 hours.

Where a craigslist category provides specific subcategories for posts by particular types of users (e.g., car sales "by-owners" versus "by-dealers," and real estate for sale "by-owner" versus "by-broker"), a user may post content only in the single user sub-category most accurate for that user. In particular, no user acting as a broker, agent or dealer may post in any "by owner" category.

Users may not circumvent any technological measure implemented by CL to restrict the manner in which content may be posted on craigslist or to regulate the manner in which content (including but not limited to email) may be transmitted to other users. This prohibition includes, without limitation, a ban on the use of multiple email addresses (created via an email address generator or otherwise); the use of multiple IP addresses (via proxy servers, modem toggling, or otherwise); CAPTCHA circumvention, automation or outsourcing; multiple and/or fraudulent craigslist accounts, including phone-verified accounts; URL shortening, obfuscation or redirection; use of multiple phone lines or phone forwarding for verification; and content obfuscation via HTML techniques, printing text on images, inserting random text or content "spinning."

It is expressly prohibited for any third party to post content to craigslist on behalf of another. Users must post content only on their own behalf, and may not permit, enable, induce or encourage any third party to post content for them.

It is expressly prohibited to post content to craigslist using any automated means. Users must post all content personally and manually through all steps of the posting process. It is also expressly prohibited for any user to develop, offer, market, sell, distribute or provide an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part). Any user who develops, offers, markets, sells, distributes or provides an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part) shall be responsible and liable to CL for each instance of access to craigslist (by any user or other third party) using that automated means.



c. Flagging

A user shall not "flag" (or otherwise seek removal of) content on craigslist without a personal, good-faith belief that the content violates the TOU. A user may flag content only on his/her own behalf. A user must not permit, enable, induce or encourage others to flag content for them. A user must not flag content for others.

A user may flag a specific item of content only once.

A user flagging content must do so manually and may not employ any automated means, products (including, without limitation, software programs) or services to flag content. A user must not circumvent any technological restrictions (security measures) in the flagging process. Without limitation, this prohibition includes a ban on the use of multiple IP addresses for flagging (by use of proxy servers or any means whatsoever).

5. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS AND ACTIVITIES

This section 5 applies to all uses and users of craigslist, unless CL has specifically authorized an exception to a particular term for a particular user in a written agreement. CL has sole and absolute discretion to authorize or deny any exception or exceptions to the terms in this section 5.

To maintain the integrity and functionality of craigslist for its users, access to craigslist and/or activities related to craigslist that are harmful to, inconsistent with or disruptive of craigslist and/or its users' beneficial use and enjoyment of craigslist are expressly unauthorized and prohibited. For example, without limitation:

The collection of craigslist users' personal information (including but not limited to email addresses, IP addresses and telephone numbers) is not allowed for any purpose.

Any copying, aggregation, display, distribution, performance or derivative use of craigslist or any content posted on craigslist whether done directly or through intermediaries (including but not limited to by means of spiders, robots, crawlers, scrapers, framing, iframes or RSS feeds) is prohibited. As a limited exception, general purpose Internet search engines and noncommercial public archives will be entitled to access craigslist without individual written agreements executed with CL that specifically authorize an exception to this prohibition if, in all cases and individual instances: (a) they provide a direct hyperlink to the relevant craigslist website, service, forum or content; (b) they access craigslist from a stable IP address using an easily identifiable agent; and (c) they comply with CL's robots.txt file; provided however, that CL may terminate this limited exception as to any search engine or public archive (or any person or entity relying on this provision to access craigslist without their own written agreement executed with CL), at any time and in its sole discretion, upon written notice, including, without limitation, by email notice.

Any access to or use of craigslist to design, develop, test, update, operate, modify, maintain, support, market, advertise, distribute or otherwise make available any program, application or service (including, without limitation, any device, technology, product, computer program, mobile device application, website, or mechanical or personal service) that enables or provides access to, use of, operation of or interoperation with craigslist (including, without limitation, to access content, post content, cross-post content, re-post content, respond or reply to content, verify content, transmit content, create accounts, verify accounts, use accounts, circumvent and/or automate technological security measures or restrictions, or flag content) is prohibited. This prohibition specifically applies but is not limited to software, programs, applications and services for use or operation on or by any computer and/or any electronic, wireless and/or mobile device, technology or product that exists now or in the future.

If you access craigslist or copy, display, distribute, perform or create derivative works from craigslist webpages or other CL intellectual property in violation of the TOU or for purposes inconsistent with the TOU, your access, copying, display, distribution, performance or derivative work is unauthorized. Circumvention of any technological restriction or security measure on craigslist or any provision of the TOU that restricts content, conduct, accounts or access is expressly prohibited. For purposes of this paragraph, you agree that cached copies of craigslist webpages on your computer or computer server constitute "copies" under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101. For purposes of this paragraph, you further agree that CAPTCHAs and telephone verification are "technological measures" that effectively control access to copyright-protected components and rights of CL pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 1201.

Any effort to decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer all or any part of craigslist in order to identify, acquire, copy or emulate any source code or object code is expressly prohibited.

Any activities (including but not limited to posting voluminous content) that are inconsistent with use of craigslist in compliance with the TOU or that may impair or interfere with the integrity, functionality, performance, usefulness, usability, signal-to-noise ratio or quality of all or any part of craigslist in any manner are expressly prohibited.

Any attempt (whether or not successful) to engage in, or to enable, induce, encourage, cause or assist anyone else to engage in, any of the above unauthorized and prohibited access and activities is also expressly prohibited and is a violation of the TOU.

6. USER COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, INTERACTIONS, DISPUTES AND RELATIONS

CL and CL Representatives are not parties to, have no involvement or interest in, make no representations or warranties as to, and have no responsibility or liability with respect to any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other user, person or organization ("your interactions with others"). You must conduct any necessary, appropriate, prudent or judicious investigation, inquiry, research or due diligence with respect to your interactions with others.

You agree to indemnify and hold CL and CL Representatives harmless from and against any third-party claim, cause of action, demand or damages related to or arising out of your interactions with others. This indemnification obligation includes payment of any attorneys' fees and costs incurred by CL or CL Representatives.

8. DISCLAIMERS

YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF AND RELIANCE ON CRAIGSLIST AND CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH CRAIGSLIST IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. CRAIGSLIST (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WEBSITES, PROGRAMS, SERVICES, FORUMS AND CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH THE WEBSITES, PROGRAMS, SERVICES AND FORUMS) IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" OR "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS) ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

THESE DISCLAIMERS SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT

11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

You acknowledge and agree that any violation or breach of the TOU may cause CL immediate and irreparable harm and damages; consequently, notwithstanding any other provision of the TOU or other applicable legal requirements, CL has the right to, and may in its discretion, immediately obtain preliminary injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders) and seek permanent injunctive relief regarding any violation or breach of the TOU. In addition to any and all other remedies available to CL in law or in equity, CL may seek specific performance of any term in the TOU, including but not limited to by preliminary or permanent injunction.

On Nov. 4, Americans will once again set our clocks back from Daylight Saving Time. But why? Why wouldn?t we want to save daylight all year around?

On Oct. 29, the esteemed British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a paper urging the end of regular time altogether and moving us permanently to what the British call ?summer time.? According to the paper, ?people are happier, more energetic, and less likely to be sick in the longer and brighter days of summer, whereas their mood tends to decline ? and anxious and depressive states to intensify ? during the shorter and duller days of winter.? The paper also notes that kids can be let out to play ? and therefore get more exercise ? if it?s not dark. The paper predicts fewer car crashes and more sports events when we extend daylight hours. (More on Time.com: 5 Ways to Beat the Winter Doldrums).

And yet, a skeptical note: more sports events will almost certainly lead to more drinking before driving, which will almost certainly lead to more car crashes.

Don?t get me wrong: I love the gloaming of a summer day, when sand smells combine pleasantly with those of tanning oil, gin, lime and tonic. But inasmuch as one would love summer to last forever, winter does come. The author of the BMJ paper, Senior Fellow Mayer Hillman of the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) in London, found that changing the clocks permanently to summer time would result in only a 0.2% reduction in road casualties, which ? statistically speaking ? means his models produced no significant change whatsoever. Even Hillman admits that a 0.2% difference means no reliably different change in driving behavior with the extra light. A single thunderstorm could produce change just as large. (More on Time.com: Want Good Health? There Are 10 Apps for That).

Then again, I do like the idea of grilling steaks in natural light in December. The primary defenders of regular time are farmers and others who must rise early. There?s only so much daylight, and how we apportion it by the clock can become a political and personal issue. No one enjoys having to get up when it?s dark, which is what Daylight Saving Time does: it pushes the earlier hours into deeper darkness in exchange for more light after work. In a new paper Hillman wrote for PSI, he acknowledged that going to permanent summer hours would mean roughly 60 days spent in total darkness for Scottish farmworkers who must rise early to tend to animals.

And yet Hillman counters that most people who don?t farm spend most of their post-work waking hours ? four or five hours per day ? in the dark during winter. We are less likely to exercise and make plans with friends during those long, dreary January and February days when 7 p.m. feels like midnight. Hillman doesn?t quite have the data to prove it, but he has a strong common-sense argument that giving people an extra hour or two of light each evening would push them from routines that otherwise might involve only television and a tray of brownies. He writes: ?We spend, on average, about five hours of our waking hours before midday ? very few of them when it is dark ? but nearly half of the 10 to 11 of our waking hours after midday when it is dark and before going to bed. The critical limiting factor is obviously the onset of dusk.? (More on Time.com: Photos: Dr. Mehmet Oz: Medicine Man)

Like all proselytizers, Hillman seems a little obsessed: he has been working on changing the clocks since the 1980s. Also, it?s not at all clear that people will use extra daylight hours during the winter to go outside to exercise. One Indiana study found that people merely run their air conditioners longer when time changes.

And yet in the end it?s hard to argue with Hillman?s idea. We are already wired to so much fake light ? so many pixils from so many screens ? that a little extra real day wouldn?t hurt. So this year, instead of spending time setting the clocks back, let?s have an experiment: do nothing. Leave the clocks where they are. Let the sunshine in.

I am chris AND divina and am very jealous of anyone successful.

Bought bunch of gear from me.  No Problem.

Someone with a suspicious email address responded to a Craigslist Ad I posted and told me to call this number. I'm relatively sure it's a scam.
