2. Description. The title you select for your Ad must be concise and limited to the specific goods or services offered for sale. You may not list multiple brands, makes, models or locations in the text or title of your Ad as a means to generate unwarranted search results.
3. Content. All Ads must be in good taste and may not contain any objectionable content, as determined by Operator in its discretion. Ads for adult goods or services are prohibited. All Ads must be for goods or services that are permitted under Michigan law. You are responsible for the content of your Ad.

Individuals may post more than five (5) Ads on the Site at any time.

Operator may act to prevent anyone who violates these Classified Terms from posting or viewing Ads on the Site and may block access to the Site. Please report all violations using the link provided with each Ad.
No Liability. Operator is not involved in the actual transaction between a seller posting an Ad for goods or services and the buyer purchasing the goods or services.
