UISWAP shall cooperate with any investigation by any Federal, State, or local body or any court or tribunal. Such cooperation may be without notice to you.

In sum, UISWAP reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time, and to remove any listings or any advertisements for any reason, and without notice.

If there is a dispute between Users of the Site, UISWAP is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You hereby release UISWAP, Strategic Steps, LLC, their officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and / or our service. If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, UISWAP may investigate reports of abuse or misuses and, if appropriate, limit or prohibit Your use of the Site or modify Your user profile to reflect its determinations. UISWAP, however, will not take any other action with respect to a complaint and will not make determinations that will exempt any party from concluding a particular transaction. That determination may only be made by a court of competent jurisdiction or a mutually acceptable third party. All determinations are final and are made at the sole discretion of UISWAP. In agreeing to these Terms of Service, You agree to participate in investigations and be bound by UISWAP's determination. There are three steps in our Offenses and Enforcement Policy.

  1. Reporting of the Offense- In order for an offense to be investigated, it must be reported to UISWAP. Users may file reports if they fall victim to, or are aware of, any enforceable offenses. In addition, UISWAP reserves the right to initiate investigations even in the absence of a report.

  2. Investigating the Offense- Once a report has been filed, the details will be investigated by UISWAP. Several factors will be looked at to determine the legitimacy of the report and level of offense before enforcement. If the report and/or response warrants it, additional proof or information may be requested from all involved parties.

  3. Enforcing the Offense- Offenses fall into two categories: (a) Violations, and (b) Zero Tolerance. If an offense is determined to be a violation, UISWAP will issue a warning on the first and second offenses, and a third offense will result in the permanent suspension of the user account. If a User commits a Zero Tolerance offense, the User account will be revoked immediately. It is important to note that, if a User's account is suspended, UISWAP will not refund any fees paid to it by the User. When your account is suspended, You will not be able to perform any transactions in the UISWAP community as either a Buyer or a Seller, your listings will be removed from the Site, and any ongoing negotiations you may have will be cancelled. Any party with whom you are engaged in an ongoing negotiation at the time of your suspension will be notified via email of your suspension.

The first two violations will result in warnings. UISWAP will send an email to the address provided by you at registration to notify that you have committed a Violation and we have placed a mark on your account. A third offense will result in the permanent suspension of your account.

Examples of Violations:

  • Nonpayment or failing to deliver a traded/sold product from a closed transaction. At any time during the negotiation process, You may walk away from the transaction without penalty, provided an offer has not been accepted. Once the Buyer or Seller accepts an offer, the transaction is complete, and a binding agreement is formed. Failure of the Buyer or Seller to fulfill his or her portion of the agreement constitutes a violation.

  • Failure to pay transaction fees. In order to Sell an Item on UISWAP, you must provide a valid credit card for the collection of listing and final transaction fees. If the credit card number is incorrect, or if the credit card has expired, resulting in failure to pay fees, such failure constitutes a violation.

  • Violation of Content Policy. Listing a "prohibited" Item on the UISWAP system will result in the prompt removal of the listing, as well as a Violation on Your account. It is important to note, however, that if the Item is in blatant disregard of our Terms of Service (for example: drugs), the listing may be considered a Zero Tolerance offense and will be handled accordingly (see below).

  • Misrepresentation of an item for sale. Item listings should clearly represent and display the actual Item that the Buyer is negotiating for. A violation will be recorded against Sellers who misrepresent an Item, falsify information in a listing, deliver Items other than what is listed, Sell copies or fakes of original Items, or in any way Sell an Item to the Buyer under the pretense that it is something else.

  • Providing incorrect or outdated Contact Information.Contact information must be valid in order to perform transactions on UISWAP. Providing incorrect information will result in a Violation. If your contact information changes (if you move, etc.), please update your Contact Information as soon as possible to avoid a Violation.

  • Using someone else's User ID.Using another user's ID, for any purpose, constitutes a Violation. Performing transactions under someone else's ID, using another ID to help build your rating, "stuffing" the queue to misrepresent the demand of your Item, or using another User's ID to attack or leave negative ratings on other Users are all examples of Violations.

  • User Rating Threat/Extortion/Solicitation.The User Rating system has been put into place as a reference base for other Users to determine how a User performs transactions within the UISWAP community. Threatening other Users with negative ratings unless they comply with certain demands, prices, etc. is a Violation of the system. Additionally, selling, trading or exchanging positive ratings in any way outside of normal function will not be tolerated. Ratings are to be left as an accurate, honest depiction of how You felt the User behaved in the negotiation.

  • Using UISWAP system for advertising, solicitation or "SPAM" lists. UISWAP is an online marketplace for Traders, Buyers and Sellers to trade, move and purchase products in a more efficient manner. Use of listings for the purpose of advertising, solicitation of services or any other purpose not related to UISWAP is a Violation.

  • Misuse or abuse of other users' personal information.UISWAP prides itself on maintaining our Users' privacy. Publishing, selling, exchanging, distributing or using another User's personal information in any way outside of completing the transaction is a Violation. Additionally, contacting another User for any purpose outside of the closing of a transaction is a Violation. For further information regarding this, please see our Privacy Policy.

  • Use of profanity in listings or communication. UISWAP routinely checks listings for profanity and other questionable content. Profanity will not be tolerated in the Item listing, the Ask a Question portion or in communications between Buyers and Sellers or with UISWAP. Profanity in any of the above listed forms will result in a Violation being placed on your account, and may also result in the removal of your listing. It is important to note, however, that if the use is extreme, defamatory, or contains racial or ethnic slurs, hate messages, etc., it will be considered a Zero Tolerance offense and be enforced accordingly. (See below)

  • Creating a new User account to escape bad reputation or after being indefinitely suspended. The ratings and violations systems have been put into place to help other Users see how You do business online. Any attempt to deceive Users are Violations.

  • Wrongful accusations against other Users within the UISWAP community.
  • False accusations and misrepresentations in reporting of offenses by other Users will not be tolerated by UISWAP, and are Violations by the reporting User.
    Zero tolerance offenses are the most serious offenses in the UISWAP community. If, after investigation, it is determined that the reported offense is a Zero Tolerance offense, permanent suspension of your account will go into effect immediately.

Examples of Zero Tolerance offenses:


  • Under age users. Minors (people under the age of majority in their state or province of residence) are not eligible to use our services. Violation of this policy is a Zero Tolerance offense, and your account will be suspended immediately. When you reach the age of majority, however, you will be permitted to rejoin UISWAP.

  • Representing as a UISWAP or Strategic Steps, LLC employee. Any attempt to represent yourself in any way as an employee of either UISWAP or Strategic Steps, LLC is a Zero Tolerance offense.

  • Intentional use of false contact information (including credit card information, addresses, and inactive email accounts). In order to transact in the UISWAP community, you must provide accurate, valid contact and billing information. Intentional failure to do so will result in the prompt removal of your account.

  • Use of slanderous remarks, hate messages, racial or ethnic slurs, or other defamatory remarks. Any use of the aforementioned in descriptions, Ask a Question, email correspondence between the Buyer and Seller or with UISWAP will not be tolerated.

  • Threats of bodily harm, extortion or blackmail. Any such threats will result in the immediate permanent suspension of the offending User's account.

  • Interfering with UISWAP Site or operations. Any attempt to interfere with, cause damage to, or in any way abuse or violate the security and integrity of the UISWAP system is a Zero Tolerance offense. Additionally, UISWAP may report such activity to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

  • Failure to participate in the reporting and investigation process. Failure to respond in a timely fashion to a notice that an investigation that could result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account is a Zero Tolerance offense and your account will be suspended permanently.

Please note that every case is different, and UISWAP will take each reported account into consideration during the investigation process before making a decision. Violations and Zero Tolerance offenses are not limited to the above-listed offenses. If an offense has been investigated that does not fall into any pre-defined category, UISWAP reserves the right to suspend any User or remove any listing.

Please note that other than noting violations and/or temporarily or permanently suspending an account, UISWAP will not take any other action. Under no circumstances will we attempt to avoid a sale or compel its completion. These remedies are only available through a court or other mutually acceptable third party.

You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if it becomes necessary for UISWAP to pursue legal action to enforce the Terms of Use, you will be liable to pay UISWAP the following amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of UISWAP's damages for the specified breaches of the Terms of Use:

  1. If you post a message that (1) impersonates any person or entity; (2) falsely states or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity; or (3) that includes personal or identifying information about another person without that person's explicit consent, you agree to pay craigslist one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each such message. This provision does not apply to messages that are lawful non-deceptive parodies of public figures.

  2. If UISWAP establishes limits on the frequency with which you may access the Service, or terminates your access to or use of the Service, you agree to pay UISWAP one hundred dollars ($100) for each message posted in excess of such limits or for each day on which you access UISWAP in excess of such limits, whichever is higher.

USER FURTHER AGREES THAT UISWAP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION WAS JUSTIFIED OR NOT, NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL, INADVERTENT OR ADVERTENT. USER AGREES THAT UISWAP SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO USER, OR ANYONE, FOR THE STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. In no event shall UISWAP total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount paid by you to UISWAP, if any, that is related to the cause of action.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages so some of the above may not apply to You.

Indemnity: You agree to defend, indemnify and hold UISWAP and Strategic Steps, LLC, and (as applicable) its officers, directors, employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, partners and affiliates harmless against any and all claims made by or liabilities to any third party resulting from any activities conducted under your Account, your use or misuse of the Site, including, but not limited to, posting content on the Website, entering into transactions with other Website users, contacting others as a result of their posting(s) on the Website, infringing a third party's intellectual property or other rights, failing to deliver goods or payment to other Website users or otherwise arising out of your breach of any Terms of this Agreement.
