Warrior Forum MarketPlace Rules July 30th
Introduction:
The WSO section is a marketplace for high quality Internet Marketing products.
Sellers have purchased these threads as advertisements for their products and services.
While the WSO forum offers great deals and Internet Marketing products, buyers should exercise common sense when considering purchasing a product or service.
At any time, buyers and sellers may report any post or offer within the WSO section to Warrior Forum moderators to investigate. This can be done with the red triangle on the lower left side of each post or via the Warrior Forum support desk, located at https://support.freelancer.com.
When browsing through offers, buyers should be aware that Warrior Payments is the only platform that is endorsed and supported by the Warrior Forum, we also support JVzoo, eJunkie, Paypal and many others - We DO NOT SUPPORT OR ACCEPT WarriorPlus as a payment system.

Buyers: WSO Rules
Rule #1: Asking for Review Copies / Offering Reviews
We do not allowed asking for reviews copies or offering review copies. This is a marketplace and you need to have a product that has been already tested by your market audience.
So no "free reviews" "or limited reviews are allowed"
Rule #2: Reporting Fraudulent or Misleading Offers
If the seller fails to deliver the product or service as advertised, or does not honor a posted refund policy, please report the problem using the Report tool or contact the Helpdesk.
In your report, include enough details to allow them to look into the claim properly, including the thread Url and the seller's username. To report a problem, use the red triangle to the lower left of the post you're reporting. Fill in the necessary information and submit the form. Please keep in mind that investigating a claim requires time and multiple reports should not be submitted.
The forum is not part of the transaction between a buyer and seller. We have no ability to force a refund or any other action by a third party. We are limited to reducing or removing access by parties we believe may be acting improperly or who violate the forum or WSO rules as described here.
Rule #3: Resolving Issues
Buyers should attempt to resolve any issues with sellers privately so the seller has the opportunity to fix any issues. Should the issue remain unresolved, buyers may report the problem or offer for moderators to investigate.
Buyers should be aware that if you have purchased an offer, you may also review the product or service in the seller's thread.
Rule #4: Reviewing a WSO
You may post 1 honest review for any WSO that you have purchased. Reviews should be factual and not mislead in any way. If the product you purchased was sold via Warrior Payments, you can honestly review the product from within both Warrior Payments and also on the seller's thread.
Review guidelines:
- If you are an affiliate or received a review copy of a product, you must state this when posting a review of the product.
- Do not debate the sales process. If you believe something is deceptive, then report this to the moderators.
- You may list the OTOs associated with a product as a part of your review, once
you've purchased the initial offer. Do not argue about them, or make statements beyond the list of what is offered. The seller decides his or her own sales process. You decide if you wish to buy what's offered.
- Multiple reviews within a sales thread are not tolerated.
- Reviews must be of the product, not the seller nor the seller's previous products.
- Personal attacks, name-calling, and unproven accusations are not tolerated. YOU WILL BE BANNED.
While buyers are encouraged to review products and services, buyers must follow these guidelines.
Rule #5: Refunds
While many WSO's are digital products and services, buyers are not automatically entitled to a refund if they are unhappy with the product or service.
If the seller offers a refund period as part of their offer, this will appear on the sales page or in the FAQ of their offer. If there are no mentions of a Refund Policy, buyers should assume all sales are final and no refunds are offered.
If you wish to request a refund from the seller, you should contact the seller privately - either through a private message or via the seller's external support channel. Requests for refunds should only be made on the seller's thread if you do not receive a response from the seller within 2 business days. Keep in mind, sellers may be in a different time zone to you.
If a seller fails to honor a posted refund policy, please report the offer to the moderators.
Products sold on the WSO marketplace are not sold by the Warrior forum but are rather just hosted by the Warrior forum on behalf of the product creators. We allow sellers to set their own policies and processes for refunds. We advise buyers to check the refund policies of products before buying whether by reading the sales copy or by contacting and clarifying with the seller beforehand. Requests for refunds should only be made on the seller's thread if you do not receive a response from the seller within 2 business days. Keep in mind, sellers may be in a different time zone to you.
Imagine this analogy, let's say you bought some dodgy fruit in a farmer's market at a park. In this case, you would demand refunds from the farmer who sold you the fruit, not the park administrators. As with this case, you would get the refunds from the seller of the product, not with Warrior forum.
Rule #6: Etiquette
Buyers are entitled to ask questions and post 1 honest review within the WSO thread for products they have purchased. However, Warrior Forum members are not to engage in running feuds. This applies to both buyers and sellers.
Buyers may not harass, blackmail, personally attack, spam or bully sellers.
Rule #7: No File Sharing
If you have purchased a product or received a review copy, you are not permitted to share, reproduce or sell the product, or part thereof, without the seller's explicit consent.
The WSO section is a marketplace for high quality Internet Marketing products.
