Welcome to rhodesmarket.com!
Whether you’re a dealer or an end user, rhodesmarket.com is the place to buy and sell your business and personal items and to advertise your business.
Just like anything else you do today, there are rules. We have these rules because somewhere out there, there is someone who wants to make it complicated for the rest of us by doing something that has forced the issue to enforce a rule. Since rules sound so elementary, we are going to call them policies. So, here we go with our policies.
This website, as well as the websites of our affiliates and subsidiaries, is being provided free-of-charge to you. The terms "you", "your", and "yours" refer to persons utilizing our website(s). The terms "Rhodesmarket.com”, “Rhodesmarket”, "we", "us", and "our" refer to rhodesmarket.com, and its affiliates, and subsidiaries. We reserve the right to change the nature of this relationship at any time and to revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time as we see fit. If you violate the terms of this Agreement you will have your access canceled and you may be permanently banned from using the website and any interactive services. You should check these terms and conditions periodically. By using the website after we post changes to these Terms and Conditions, you agree to accept those changes, whether or not you actually reviewed them.
