Please read this document completely and carefully before applying for membership in Panty Trust as it directly reflects your membership and outlines instances that may result in a member’s suspension or termination of membership. Refunds of the membership fee are not provided once a membership has been activated.

The members of Panty Trust take fair business practice, civil conduct, and honesty very seriously and have worked very hard to develop the credibility that Panty Trust and its members now enjoy. As the actions of one Panty Trust member reflect on all members of the Panty Trust organization, this code of conduct has been developed by the Panty Trust membership to address important issues. Panty Trust is not for everyone. Panty buyers and Panty Trust members expect all members to be a cut above the typical lingerie seller.

A member must agree these terms to gain membership in Panty Trust.

Membership

Used lingerie sellers who join Panty Trust are expected to have joined because they have a commitment to furthering fair business practices, honesty, and trust in the used lingerie trade. Panty Trust is not simply a method to “advertise” your products or web site.

When listing an item or service for sale anywhere, members agree to post an accurate description of what a buyer is purchasing, and to provide the item as described upon payment.

If a delay or change affects the delivery of an item, members agree to contact the buyer in a timely fashion to keep them informed and/or make them aware of any changes. Members agree to communicate in a respectful manner with buyers.

Links and Contact Information

Members agree to keep their contact information and links on their Panty Trust page current at all times by informing the webmaster of Panty Trust of any changes.

Suspension or Termination of Membership

The board of directors of Panty Trust will consider the cases of members who do not meet or violate the conditions for membership as stated above. The board will solicit and consider input from the general membership to determine if suspension or termination of a membership is warranted. The board will inform the member of its decision and the member may appeal to the board if they believe that they have extenuating circumstances that the board was not aware of at the time of the decision.

Broken Link/Contact clause – If it is reasonably determined that a member is no longer active in selling used lingerie as evidenced by  a member’s links to their web site being dead/broken and/or their contact email address no longer is valid, the member’s Panty Trust page and their listing on the “All members” page will be suspended. The member will simply need to contact Panty Trust with their current information to have their page and listing reinstated. If a member’s page has been suspended for three months and the member has made no contact with Panty Trust, the membership will be terminated.

Immediate Termination of Membership

In some situations a member’s membership may be terminated immediately by a manager of Panty Trust without involvement a board of directors’ review. The following will result in immediate termination of a member account:

1. Evidence of an activity considered to be illegal
