We retain the right but not the obligation to remove any listing or part of a listing that contains content that we, in our sole discretion, believe to be harmful, offensive, illegal, or inappropriate in any way.

The Integritybusinessreferrals.com service allows registered users to post links hosted on Integritybusinessreferrals.com to outside websites, especially as part of business listings.

It is highly recommended that in order to help other Christian businesses prosper, it would be beneficial to post a link on your website back to Integritybusinessreferrals.com.

We do not claim any intellectual property rights over what you provide to the Integritybusinessreferrals.com service.  All your information remains yours.  You can remove your profile and listing at any time by deleting your account.  Your removal of such listing does not require us to refund any prepaid fees that you have paid.

You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this User Agreement and the Privacy Policy, which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference, before you may become a member of Integritybusinessreferrals.com

If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

Memberships are personal memberships, not corporate or any other business entity.  In other words, if you leave the business you were with when you joined Integritybusinessreferrals.com,the membership goes with you.  We are not familiar with any business entity that has ever been saved!

There is a fee for listing your businesses on Integritybusinessreferrals.com. The  Fee is $177.00 for a 1 year Premier - Networking Membership and $99 for a 1 year Basic - Internet Membership.  This fee will cover your listing in up to 5 classifications.     We may change our Fees and Credits Policy and the fees for our services from time to time.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service and the Site and all applicable taxes.

Integritybusinessreferrals.com is a Venue

Integritybusinessreferrals.com is not a Retailer. Although we are commonly referred to as an online marketplace, it is important to realize that we are not a traditional "retailer." Instead, the Site acts as a venue to connect buyers and sellers of goods and services. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items or services purchased, the truth or accuracy of any claims by the seller, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

Prayer is always the best guide for doing business!

Identity & Character Verification (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)

We use many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site.  Integritybusinessreferrals.com does confirm each user's purported identity and does verify each users membership, tithing status and reputation with their pastor or other Christian leaders in their community when possible. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on the Site. You may also wish to consider using a third party escrow service or services that provide additional user verification.  However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, and because telephone and email contacts cannot always be verified, Integritybusinessreferrals.com does not guarantee the authenticity of all verifications received.

Release

Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Integritybusinessreferrals.com (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

Information Control

We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You may find other users' information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign nationals. By using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and Integritybusinessreferrals.com is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Site.

Your Information

Definition: “Your Information" is defined as any information you provide to us or other users in the registration, listing process, in any public message area (including the Forums or the feedback area) or through any email feature. You are solely responsible for Your Information, and we act as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of Your Information.

Restricted Activities: Your Information and your activities on the Site shall not: (a) be false, inaccurate or misleading; (b) be fraudulent or involve the sale of counterfeit or stolen items; (c) infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (d) violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, antidiscrimination or false advertising); (e) be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (f) be obscene or contain child pornography or, otherwise adult in nature or harmful to minors; (g) contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or other computer programming routines that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; (h) create liability for us or cause us to lose (in whole or in part) the services of our ISPs or other suppliers; and (i) link directly or indirectly to or include descriptions of goods or services that: (j) are prohibited under this Agreement; (k) or you do not have a right to link to or include.

Prohibited, Questionable and Infringing Items

Integritybusinessreferrals.com will only use Your Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Access and Interference

The Site may contain robot exclusion headers. Much of the information on the Site is updated on a real time basis and is proprietary or is licensed to Integritybusinessreferrals.com by our users or third parties. You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Site for any purpose without our express written permission. Additionally, you agree that you will not: (i) take any action that imposes, or may impose in our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (ii) copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute or publicly display any content (except for Your Information) from the Site without the prior expressed written permission of Integritybusinessreferrals.com and the appropriate third party, as applicable; (iii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any activities conducted on the Site; or (iv) bypass our robot exclusion headers or other measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Site.

Feedback

Integrity: You may not take any actions that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system.  

Export: You acknowledge that your feedback consists of comments left by other users and a composite feedback number compiled by Integritybusinessreferrals.com, and that the composite number without the comments does not convey your full user profile. Because feedback ratings are not designed for any purpose other than for facilitating trading between Integritybusinessreferrals.com listed businesses and consumers, you agree that you shall not market or export your Integritybusinessreferrals.com feedback rating in any venue other than a Integritybusinessreferrals.com operated website.

Import: We do not provide you with the technical ability to import feedback from other (non- Integritybusinessreferrals.com operated) websites to Integritybusinessreferrals.com because a composite number, without the corresponding feedback does not reflect your true online reputation within our community.

Our rights in Feedback: Integritybusinessreferrals.com reserves the right to monitor all feedback to make sure, as much as is reasonably possible, that all feedback is done in good taste and does not unjustly defame any business or customer.  We reserve the right to remove any feedback that, in our sole discretion, violates those standards.

Breach

Privacy

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for any reason. We view protection of users' privacy as a very important community principle. We understand clearly that you and your information is one of our most important assets. We store and process your information on computers located in the United States that are protected by physical as well as technological security devices. If you object to your Information being transferred or used in this way please do not use our services.
