5. User-Generated Content and Postings
a. User Responsibility
All content, Postings, and information posted on AppointmentTrader ("User Content") is the sole responsibility of the user who submits it.
By posting User Content, you grant AppointmentTrader a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and use the content on the platform as needed to operate the service.
b. Content Standards
You may not post content that is:
- Illegal, infringing, or misleading;
- Spam, fraudulent, or deceptive;
- Harmful, abusive, or defamatory;
- Containing malware or security threats.
AppointmentTrader reserves the right, but has no obligation, to remove content that violates these rules.
6. No Endorsement or Guarantee
AppointmentTrader does not endorse, validate, or guarantee any:
- User;
- Posting;
- Outcome of any transaction.
We do not participate in or arrange transactions between users. Users are solely responsible for negotiating, fulfilling, and managing their own Postings and transactions.
7. Transactions and Payments
AppointmentTrader enables users to post and transact Postings. We are not a party to any transaction between users. We do not buy, sell, arrange, or guarantee any posting.
付款和用户收款可能由第三方服务提供商处理。在适用法律允许的范围内，AppointmentTrader可将向任何用户的付款暂缓最多180天，原因包括但不限于防范欺诈、风险审查、争议，或遵守平台政策，例如有关规避质量管控的政策或公开的社区准则。
平台使用费（例如发布费、账户验证费和付款处理费）是为访问和使用AppointmentTrader而收取的，与用户之间的基础交易相互独立。根据我们的社区政策作出的罚款属于独立的执行措施，具体说明如下。
在适用法律及支付服务提供商规则允许的范围内，AppointmentTrader及其支付服务提供商有权收取根据本条款及适用的已公布平台规则到期应付的任何款项，包括Bounty Hunter计划的处罚款项、未到场及取消费用、退款、拒付及其他适用费用。这些款项到期时，可从用户当前或未来的AppointmentTrader余额或其他应付给用户的款项中扣除，或通过与其账户关联的支付方式收取。这适用于买家和卖家，包括余额不足的情况。用户仍须对任何未付款项承担支付责任。
8. Account Verification and Fraud Prevention
We may request documentation (such as identification or tax information) to verify accounts. We reserve the right to delay or restrict payouts, suspend accounts, or take other actions in cases of suspected fraud or policy violations.
社区政策与执行
用户必须遵守AppointmentTrader的社区政策，即本条款中的行为规则，以及平台公布并不时更新的其他社区和交易市场规则。禁止的行为包括故意操纵竞赛式请求的分配，或招揽交易以规避适用的质量管控或其他平台管控。这些示例并非穷尽列举。直接雇用本身并不构成违规。
如果AppointmentTrader在审查现有信息后，合理认定用户行为看起来与规避平台的质量管控或其他社区或交易市场管控直接相关，AppointmentTrader可以通过适用于所有用户的标准审查和执行流程，施加合理罚款。措施还可能包括限制、暂停或关闭账户。仅有举报并不足以成为罚款依据；处理结果取决于行为和具体情况。
到期应付款项的收取适用第7条。
9. Third-Party Content and Links
AppointmentTrader may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of those third parties.
