Here you can find answers to questions about how the board works. Use the links or search box below to find your way around.
1.) No posts regarding religion or politics. They are not appropriate for BYT.
2.) Treat other members as you wish to be treated. If you have nothing nice to say about another member (or their truck etc), keep your mouth shut.
3.) No profanity or slander. If you see that a particular word in your post has been replaced with asterisks *****, that means it has been deemed not appropriate for BYT, which is a family safe forum. Please edit your post and remove the word and refrain from using any profanity. Violating this rule will get you a warning and if you choose not to play by the rules, you will be banned. Profanity is for those who lack the creativity and intelligence to otherwise express themselves.
4.) No threats of harm to body or property.
5.) Any pictures, videos or web site links displayed MUST be appropriate for all ages.
6.) If your post needs an interpreter, it may get deleted. Take the time to spell check!
If there is a problem with a particular post or members behavior, contact a moderator or Chris immediately.

Welcome to the user agreement (the "Agreement" or "User Agreement") for www.beatyourtruck.com. This Agreement describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services available under the domain and sub-domains of beatyourtruck.com (the "Site") and the general principles for the websites of any subsidiaries. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use or access the beatyourtruck.com web site.
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 beatyourtruck.com. By accepting this User Agreement, you also agree that your use of any part of the beatyourtruck.com website will be governed by the User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site. Except as stated below, all amended terms shall automatically be effective 1 day after they are initially posted on the Site.

This Agreement is effective upon acceptance in registration for beatyourtruck.com forum members, and is otherwise effective on April 1, 2004 for all users.
1. beatyourtruck.com is a Venue. beatyourtruck.com is not an Auctioneer. 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 advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, 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. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of Ca. Com. Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Com. Code § 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller.
2. Release. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release beatyourtruck.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. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site.

Rule to stop people from joining Beat Your Truck to just sell their stuff.
A minimum of 50 posts is required to be able to view or post in the RC Trade & Sell Forum.
The RC Trade & Sell Forum is for Beat Your Truck members. It was not meant to be a place for people to stop in and sell their stuff to our members.
This may cause some problems for recent members that may already have a post in the RC Trade & Sell Forum but do not have 50 posts yet....now they can't get in. I am sorry for this but you will have to browse the forum and find some topics to participate in until your post count gets to 50.
Thanks for your understanding and support!
