Recommended Posts

Gamerscoalition Terms and Conditions as relates to using our IPB Nexus storefront and/or contributing funds for Coalition memberships, tee-shirts, other merchandise, and donations.

 

(Last updated July 22nd, 2013)

 

By contributing to Gamerscoalition (GC) whether for membership, donations, tee-shirts or other apparel/merchandise you agree to the following:

 

 

1) GC is not responsible for anything bad that happens to you during the course of the financial transaction you are undertaking with us including frozen financial accounts, held funds, bounced checks, and any other adverse money crap that you may try to pin on us.

 

Seriously.

 

You are giving us a few bucks for server reserves, donations, and tee-shirts. It is not and will not be our problem if you go nuts and get your credit card account closed or PayPal account frozen for some strange reason and we just happened to be the last transaction that pushed you over the edge. However, if there was a software glitch (I'm looking at you Invision...) that does end up borking you financially let us know, we'll reverse or do what we can to make things as better as we can but understand that if it puts you hundreds or thousands of dollars in the hole you agree to take no legal action against any of the GC Board Members or others in the Coalition. We don't have that kind of money to make things that right (and you'd be better off targeting Invision in this instance although the way software licenses are written these days I wouldn't hold out hope...)

 

 

2) On rare occasions people who have no business being involved in GC contribute funds for a Coalition membership and then proceed to act like asses everywhere. Had we known that you were going to be a dick we would never have let you join. You agree that we (Board Members specifically) can and will keep your contribution for the organization and will kick you out of the Coalition, remove your forum access and terminate your server reserves if this situation arises.

 

 

3) You agree to TALK to us first to resolve any problems regarding merchandise, reserves, etc. before you start getting your undies in a bundle and talking to various financial institutions you are involved with.

 

None of us are getting paid for this stuff, give us a break. The full extent of "making it right" for your problem(s) will be at our discretion and will be limited to refund of monies contributed. THIS EXCLUDES BUYER'S REMORSE FOR BOTH MERCHANDISE AND COALITION MEMBERSHIP AND SITUATIONS WHERE A COALITION MEMBER IS REMOVED FROM GC FOR TRANGRESSING OUR SERVER AND COMMUNITY STANDARDS. SEE FURTHER DOWN FOR ACTUAL EXCEPTIONS.

 

Example: You contribute for Coalition membership primarily for a server reserve slot. Six months later you are bored with the game and never became a part of the broader GC community. Additionally, you're broke, and you have an immediate hunger for pizza. You ask for your Coalition membership contribution of $15 be refunded so you can get yourself a tasty slice.

 

Get bent.

 

 

4) If for some strange reason you go on a rage bender and consider taking legal action against us (for what I can't even begin to fathom...) you agree, over and above any other legal jurisdictions and rights you may assert, that any and all adjudication will take place in the good old state of Texas (USA) where the stars are bright and big at night (clap clap clap clap) and Flitterkill happens to have a cabal of lawyerly types malingering about who'd be glad to engage you in the insane intellectual and legal challenges you bring. Also they won't charge me (much...)

 

This is not to imply that Flitterkill is in anyway the sole and direct responsible authority for GC; only that he has lawyers he can call on to do GC, in the vernacular, "a solid".

 

Naturally we'd love to not have any terms and conditions but such is the way of the world and now that we are taking credit cards for contributions and tee-shirts it seems best we have at least something that sounds vaguely formal and legal (clap clap clap clap...)

 

 

5) Refunds and Returns

 

Tee doesn't fit? If we've got the stock to swap out the size we'll do it.

Buyer's remorse and the tee isn't all stinky or damaged? You've got a week to return from when you receive it.

Pint glasses? Did they arrive broken? If we have the stock we can replace.

 

Everything else regarding tees and pint glasses or any other merchandise the best we can do is refund your payments.

 

Contributing for a Coalition membership or Admin privileges is non-refundable.

 

 

GC uses PayPal and Stripe for payments. PayPal you are no doubt familiar with. Stripe is a new, super-simple credit/debit card processor. You can choose to store your card info with them for future billing or not - either way your actual CC#, although entered here, do not actually get stored on our end. HTTPS secured of course all around.

 

 

6) Privacy Policy

 

We have your contact information and email address. We'll use that to send you stuff you contribute/donate for (tee-shirts, pint glasses), gifts bestowed upon the membership because we like you, or bother you on occasion about stuff going on in the GC community. Outside of those things we will not do anything else with your contact information.

 

Your financial information is *NOT* stored on GC servers nor is it accessible in any meaningful way by GC Board members.

 

If some company approaches us and says "Let us give you thousands of dollars for the handful of addresses you've accumulated so we may spam them with offers to increase the size and/or girth of various portions of their anatomy" we'll tell them "NO! Our community member's various anatomical parts are the correct size and/or girth for our respective heights and weights."

 

If something oddly awesome does show up on our doorstep (as TypeFrag did) and they'd like to send you stuff we will listen to their offer but ASK YOU FIRST before allowing anyone to spam you. The chances of anyone approaching us for the couple hundred of names and addresses we actual end up having through this storefront are pretty much slim to none. This has never happened in GC's 10+ years of existence.

 

Note that the only exception to this is the "oddly awesome" one above. No way this side or any side of hell will you get spammed regarding browser plugin bars, meebo crap, or any other internet annoyances we all hate.

 

- The GC Board
