By registering for a user account, and posting ads, you are indicating your agreement with the following terms and conditions. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in suspension or termination of your account.

Classified ad posting services are provided "as is" with no warranty implied or expressed.

50StatesClassifieds is a North American based company, servicing the USA. All goods and services must be both originating from, and directed towards, that market, and all verbiage must be in US English. Based on this focus, we will not accept, and actively deny, services and goods that originate from outside the servicing area unless we feel it is of special interest to users in the 50 United States. We thank you for your consideration of this when posting your ad.

These terms are subject to change at any time, without warning.

Anyone is welcome to post a few free ads, no strings attached, as long as they adhere to our Terms of Use. Featured Members may post unlimited ads in any and all states and categories. Free users may not post multiple ads with identical titles, descriptions, or pictures. Just changing a word or two does not make an ad unique. We reserve the right to refuse any ad or user account that we feel does not comply with our Terms of Use.

If you belong to an MLM or affiliate program, please follow this important guideline:
A huge number of affiliates visit our site each day and post multiple identical ads in multiple states for the same exact business. You are most likely not the only affiliate from your company posting here. We do not want every single category in every single state filled with endless pages of identical copy-paste affiliate ads for the same 10 companies. We consider it spam.

If you sell Avon in Louisiana, ONLY post in Louisiana. If you are an affiliate who sells candles in Oregon, ONLY post in Oregon. Do not attempt to post 50 identical ads if you have not paid for the upgrade which allows you to do so.

Please, follow the rules, or your entire MLM or affiliate program will be permanently banned as a time saving measure.

Common reasons that we deny ads and/or terminate user accounts include, but are not limited to:

• Entering false contact information during the User Registration process. We do not share this information with any third party, nor do we use it for anything on our end, but we ban any user who has filled in gibberish, swear words, or other rude / fake / offensive information.
• Duplicate accounts, or similar registration information to that which has been previously entered by other users is prohibited. If you contact us ahead of time and ask permission, we can certainly consider giving you duplicate accounts if there is a good reason. But if we find 15 identical free accounts posting identical free ads without asking permission first, we will delete them and ban the company from posting in the future. So please, contact us first if you anticipate needing more than one account, and let us know that you're not just another automated spam-bot, and we'll be happy to accommodate your needs as long as your ads conform to this terms of service.
• Duplicate ads. As a Free user, you are limited to a few ads of similar (but not identical) content. Featured Members do not have this restriction.
• Posting a website URL or link in the title of an ad.
• Multiple external links per ad and linkspamming. One website reference per ad, please. There are clearly labelled areas where you may post your links in each ad.
• Hidden text of any kind (clear text, html hiding, color masking, keyword stuffing to the point of it just being a big spammy list of unappealing and intentionally misspelled gibberish, and all other SEO no-no's. A little SEO is fine - we don't mind - but there is a big difference between a respectable amount of SEO, and a disrespectful amount of spam.)
• CAPS LOCK / SHOUTING - If you notice that you are typing in capital letters only, on the left side of your keyboard, press the Caps Lock key to turn your caps off.
• Any business opportunities originating from outside North America.
• Misleading ads - Be up front and honest in your descriptions of your products or services. Do not force people to give you their email address, phone number, credit card number, or other personal information, in order to simply find out what your "fabulous business opportunity of a lifetime" is. If there is no way to tell what specific product or service you're selling, we will delete it.
• Cash Gifting, Pyramid Schemes, Ponzi Schemes, Online Surveys, Secret Shoppers, win a free laptop/ipod/ipad/iphone/etc, and all other similar scams
• Illegal products as determined by current local and federal laws. You are required to comply with the law in your city and state. It is not our responsibility to know every single law in every single city, state, and county. You are solely responsible for checking the lawfulness of your listing..
• Profanity, sexual or pornographic content, graphic photographs or descriptions of violent acts, or any other content which may disturb sensitive viewers and children is absolutely prohibited.
• Materials or content which promote hate, discrimination, or intolerance of any kind - Please, be respectful of all people regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, viewpoints, etc.
• Any material which violates copyright laws, or information which violates the rights or privacy of any 3rd party.
• Personal identity information of any party other than your business or your self. (home addresses and phone numbers which do not belong to you must never be shared, but we also caution you against sharing your own personal information on the Internet. It's a big world and there are a lot of strange people out there. Be careful!)
• We may modify this document to include new terms at any time. It is your responsibility to check this space and stay up to date with the rules.

We do not allow ads for Loans, Credit Repair, Home Loan Modification, or any related industries, for the simple reason that it is a high-scam industry, there are too many of these companies trying to post for free, and as a free website who is trying to keep our overhead down, we have no time to research every single company that tries to post an ad.

Each free basic classified ad includes: easy ad editor to help you make an attractive ad, 1 free picture, links may be posted in clearly designated areas of your ad, a free counter to track your visitors, and a public profile page which you can use to describe your seller policies, your business, etc.

We also offer very affordable upgrades to make your ad stand out! Register for an account for more information.

We hand screen each and every ad before it is approved for quality control. If you see spam on our site which has somehow snuck by (perhaps our hand slipped, or the ad was particularly convincing, or we've just never ran into that type of scam before), please let us know! Send the Ad# of the ad you feel is spam to webmaster@50statesclassifieds.com

Duplicate free ads will be deleted. Please do not spam us by posting identical free ads in every state without explicit prior permission from one of our staff. We do allow multiple free ads per user, as long as they are unique and meet all of our guidelines. I
