Brazos Classifieds - Terms of Use
By using the Brazos Internet's Classified Ads service (the “Service”) you acknowledge receipt of the following Disclosures and Warnings and expressly agree to the following Terms and Conditions of Use as hereafter stated:
DISCLOSURES:
North Texas Cellular, Inc d/b/a Brazos Internet ( “Brazos Internet”) provides this Service for free as a benefit and service to its subscribers and the community. Please patronize those sponsors listed on the pages which help make the free provision of this Service possible.
To reduce abuse of the Service, Brazos Internet has adopted the following security and approval policies:
Accounts with a local e-mail address or e-mail addresses from anonymous providers such as yahoo.com, hotmail.com or gmail.com that have local account information such as a mailing address or phone number will be allowed to post listings immediately. Accounts from anonymous or unverifiable e-mail domains, or whose account information is not local, will have posted listings held for approval. New accounts from anonymous or unverifiable email domains will be subject to review periodically for account verification.
If your account is subject to manual approval for posted listings, and you feel you should become a verified user, please contact Brazos Internet, for verification, during business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Central Time).
Each account holder will be required to accept any updates to the Terms and Conditions prior to posting new listings on the Service.
Please keep in mind:
- We reserve the right to remove any listing or account at any time without prior notification to the use if it has violated the Terms and Use of the Service.
- We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any listing or communication; it is the responsibility of the potential buyer or seller to verify authenticity of the other party.

WARNINGS:
Before using the Service, you should become informed of common scams and frauds which are commonplace on listing services, which may include:
- individuals from overseas wanting a cashier's check cashed and any amount over and above the selling price wired back to the individual who sent the cashier's check, which inevitably turn out to be bogus.
- Work from Home scams
- Listing frauds, often wanting to sell vehicles or animals at an unusually low price and are from out of state.
More information on common fraudulent schemes can be obtained from the Texas Attorney General's office at: http://www.oag.tx.us/consumer and from your local Better Business Bureau.
