Land Rover Exchange Rules and Feedback
The basic services offered at this site are available at no cost to those who are willing to accept and follow the rules contained herein. Failure to follow these rules when you place your ad will lead to suspension of your account privileges. If your account has been suspended, you will be required, in most cases, either (1) to pay a fee of USD$ 50 or (2) have your account privileges suspended for at least 90 days (as described herein).
In order to insure fairness and to maximize the effectiveness of this service, all persons placing advertisements at this site are asked to observe the rules presented below.
- If you have any doubts regarding whether your ad belongs at the Land Rover Exchange, please read over this entire page and then contact us BEFORE you post your ad. We are much more likely to be accommodating if you contact us before placing a questionable ad. (Contact instructions can be found further down on this page.)
- This service is intended for individuals (whether as private persons or owners or employees of Land Rover related businesses) who are actually trying to sell or buy specific Land Rover vehicles and/or parts. Unless LAND ROVER EXCHANGE grants you an exemption, any vehicles and/or parts which you advertise for sale must be owned by you and/or your company.
The advertisement of services of any kind and/or any advertisement which constitutes a general business promotion notice shall NOT be allowed unless the advertiser is an LAND ROVER EXCHANGE sponsor.
- This IS NOT a question and answer forum. The Land Rover Exchange should not be used for sharing or collecting information. This page is intended to promote the purchase and sale of specific Land Rover vehicles and parts, subject to the other restrictions contained herein. If you have questions or want to share information about Land Rovers, use the Land Rover Forum. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE LAND ROVER EXCHANGE BE USED TO POST MESSAGES, ANNOUNCEMENTS, OPINIONS OR ANY OTHER NOTICE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF SPECIFIC LAND ROVER VEHICLES OR PARTS.
- The following is a partial list of some of the other kinds ads which are not allowed at this site unless (a) you are a sponsor or (b) such ad is explicitly approved in advance: (1) employment related advertisements, (2) advertisements for the sale or purchase of businesses, (3) advertisements for Land Rover related excursions, trips, etc., (4) advertisements, promotions or other references to Internet sites competing with this site, (5) announcements of auctions (or raffles) of Land Rover vehicles or parts (if you are conducting an auction yourself, please write us directly and give us details), (6) advertisement of vehicles or parts that are being auctioned at commercial auction sites, (7) advertisements for Land Rover vehicles or parts which you or your company does not own at the time your ad is placed (for example, free ads for services that don't acquire the vehicle they are advertising until after a buyer has already been found are not allowed at LANDROVEREXCHANGE.COM), (8) advertisements for Land Rover vehicles or parts which are being refinished, rebuilt or refurbished but which are not available for sale until such process has been completed, (9) vehicles offered for sale in any market area if the vehicles themselves are not physically present in that area at the time the ad is placed, (10) requests for donations or below market transfers of Land Rover vehicles for any charitable, educational, religious or other purpose, (11) advertisements to buy or sell non-Land Rover vehicles, (12) advertisements for Land Rover "merchandise" such as clothing, mementoes, scale models, etc. (Land Rover sponsors may post ads for Land Rover "merchandise" using the MERCHANDISE category.)
- This service is not intended for third parties who are representing others in their attempts to buy or sell a vehicle or parts unless such third parties are explicitly approved by the Land Rover Exchange in advance and all advertisements by such third parties contain an approved disclosure notice to this effect. (Please note: It is perfectly permissible for an individual to post an advertisement on behalf of a friend who does not have e-mail or Internet access.)
- Only Land Rover vehicles and parts and related accessories may be advertised at this site.
- Ads which promote Land Rover related businesses and services are not allowed unless the advertiser is a paid sponsor. If you wish to advertise a Land Rover business -- such as a dealership, parts distributor, service facility, warranty extension or insurance program, etc. -- the only way to do this is to become a paid sponsor of the Land Rover Exchange. For information on sponsorship, please click HERE. PLEASE NOTE: Unless you are a sponsor, you are not allowed to place ads describing yourself as a buyer of Land Rover vehicles generally. These ads are deemed to be ads for your business and are permitted only if you are a sponsor. All ads for the purchase of vehicles, other than ads placed by sponsors, must relate to a single, specific vehicle with a stated model type within a specified range of model years.
- If you are representing a business and you are not a sponsor, it is acceptable to place one or more ads for specific vehicles or parts where each ad includes a one line reference to your company web site and/or your company name and telephone number. (This reference information is intended to be informational, not promotional.) If you represent a Land Rover business and you place one or more ads which list a selection of specific parts or vehicles which you are selling, be sure (1) to include specific prices for each item listed and (2) to avoid including any general promotion of your business (other than the basic information noted above).
The following is a good example of a general business ad. Only sponsors are allowed to place an ad like this:

- A maximum of three free ads is allowed per advertiser and/or business (whichever is less) unless you are a Sponsor or a Supporter. All ads for any individual/family and/or business must use the same e-mail address. All ads placed by a business or person (including ads from different persons at the same business) MUST use the same e-mail address and user account. All salesmen and/or other employees and/or agents for any company or dealer must all use the same e-mail address and user account regardless of whether or not they work for independent sale commissions.
- Advertisers, including Sponsors and Supporters, may not use their advertising space to promote independent or non-affiliated businesses.
- The e-mail address that you use to establish your account MUST be your contact e-mail address. It must be a valid, working e-mail address at which you can receive incoming messages. It is a violation of LAND ROVER EXCHANGE rules to request that people contact you using a different e-mail address from the address used to establish your account. If your e-mail address has changed you must delete all ads using the account associated with your old e-mail address and replace those ads using a new account created using your new e-mail address. (If you are a paid sponsor or supporter, write to us and we'll handle this change for you.)
- The e-mail address in each ad published at LAND ROVER EXCHANGE is provided ONLY for the purpose of contacting the advertiser identified regarding the item or items described in the corresponding ad. Notice is hereby given that any other use of this e-mail address is unauthorized and that any unauthorized use of this e-mail address may result in a formal complaint against the sender for distributing unsolicited commercial e-mail. LANDROVEREXCHANGE.COM will not rent, sell or otherwise release your account information (including your e-mail address) to any other party. LANDROVEREXCHANGE.COM periodically contacts individuals who have an advertisement posted. If you do not have a current advertisement posted, you will not receive any mail from LANDROVEREXCHANGE.COM. Since your e-mail address will be accessible from the LAND ROVER EXCHANGE system when you have one or more ads outstanding, there is the possibility, notwithstanding the prohibition noted earlier in this paragraph, that you will receive unsolicited, junk e-mail messages from individuals who are not interested in your property. We urge you to report such messages, if you receive them, to the appropriate parties. (For more information on reporting unsolicited commercial e-mail, please visit ABUSE.NET.)
- Vehicle and other trades may be posted only if the vehicle or parts you are offering is a Land Rover product. If you're trying to trade your 1980 VW convertible (or any other non-Land Rover vehicle) for a Land Rover or Range Rover, your ad does NOT belong here. The same prohibition applies to anyone offering any kind of service in exchange for acquiring Land Rover vehicles or parts.
- Please include only one vehicle per advertisement; if you are advertising multiple vehicles, please post a separate ad for each vehicle you are selling. Only one advertisement per vehicle (or for one or more specific parts). Don't place multiple ads for the same vehicle (or for one or more specific parts). If two or more of the vehicles you are selling are identical in all respects (this would typically only apply to a new vehicle dealer with a very large inventory), you should place only one ad which should describe one of the identical vehicles.
- In placing your free ad at LANDROVEREXCHANGE.COM, you must provide your full, real name (not corporate name) and e-mail address. (In other words: "John Smith" and "John Smith,
Westlake Motors" are fine, "John" and "Westlake Motors" are not.) Paid sponsors, at their option, may include only a corporate name with their ad.
-
If you are selling a vehicle or parts, the city, state and country should refer to the current location of the item(s) you are selling.
- Except as noted herein, all input fields are required and must be completed. The model type and model year are only required if you are selling a vehicle; these two fields are optional for all other categories of ads. The HTTP Photo Address field is optional in all cases.
- In choosing the "Vehicle Type", please note that the NAS DEFENDER category is reserved exclusively for those Defender vehicles shipped into the USA and Canada by Land Rover North America in the model years 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997. If the vehicle you are advertising belongs to one of these model years and was originally sold by a Land Rover dealer in the USA or Canada, NAS DEFENDER is the correct category. (NAS stands for North American Specification.) Please note that the DEFENDER category is intended for all other Defenders, notably those originally sold in markets other than the USA and Canada. If the Defender you are advertising was originally sold overseas and was subsequently imported to the USA or Canada, DEFENDER is the appropriate category to use. If the NAS DEFENDER category applies to your vehicle, you should use this category rather than DEFENDER. The NAS DEFENDER is the category that applies to most Defenders offerred for sale in the USA and Canada. For more information on determining whether or not a particular Defender is an NAS Defender, please refer to the Defender Registry.
- If you include a photo with your ad, it must be in the GIF or JPG format and must have a *.gif or *.jpg file extension. Once you have placed or updated your ad, you must confirm that your photo appears correctly in your ad. If it doesn't, you must (a) correct the photo link or upload so it does appear correctly, (b) remove the photo link, or (c) contact us immediately for assistance (provide specific details regarding what you did and how the system failed). If you choose to host a photo for your ad on a server other than LAND ROVER EXCHANGE's, it is your responsibility to make sure that that server continues to host that photo and that that photo is accessible to LAND ROVER EXCHANGE. Some Internet Service Providers, notably ANGELFIRE.COM, YAHOO.COM (through YIMG.COM), XOOM.COM, GEOCITIES.COM among others, do not allow links to photos hosted on their servers. If you try to link to a photo on their server, they return an image which is a commercial message for their service or a null file. As a result, links to images hosted on their servers are prohibited.
Photos hosted on the LAND ROVER EXCHANGE server are intended only for use at the LAND ROVER EXCHANGE web site. Including links to these photos at other web sites is not allowed.
For information on including a photo with your ad, including free hosting on the LAND ROVER EXCHANGE server, please refer to the Include A Photo With Your Ad page.
- Advertisements not updated will be automatically deleted after 60 days.
- Advertisement content must be truthful and in good taste.
- By advertising to sell vehicles, parts or other merchandise at this site, you agree that any dispute arising between you and the buyer of any item or items purchased as a result of an advertisement posted at this site shall be subject to adjudication and settlement by the Better Business Bureau or other independent non-profit or governmental entity as determined by the buyer of said item or items.
- Because this is an automated service, you are responsible for updating and/or deleting your ad yourself. If requested, LAND ROVER EXCHANGE will perform such service only upon the advance receipt of a payment of USD$ 25 for each update or deletion requested. In placing an ad at LAND ROVER EXCHANGE you acknowledge that a request that LAND ROVER EXCHANGE update or delete your ad for you will be subject to our prior receipt of this payment.
- If your account has been suspended for an LAND ROVER EXCHANGE rules violation and you wish to have it restored and this is your first account suspension, you must, in most cases, either (1) make a payment of USD$ 50 to immediately restore your account privileges (but in no event will your account privileges be restored sooner than our receipt of the funds noted herein) or (2) schedule a free account reinstatement 90 days following your request for such free reinstatement. If you opt for the free account reinstatement, you must send us a message requesting free account reinstatement, we must agree that you qualify by sending you a return e-mail acknowledging your request, and you must send us a copy of that return e-mail after 90 days have elapsed in order for us to process your account reinstatment.
- Failure to comply with any of the preceding rules will result in our suspending your right to use the Land Rover Exchange and Land Rover Forum.
Questions
Before you write us with comments or questions, please be sure you've read the rules on this page as well as the Land Rover Exchange Instructions page. We keep this service free by keeping it as automated as possible. If you're having problems or difficulties, you must be specific. For example, the following real life inquiry (repeated in its entirety) is NOT in the least bit helpful and probably could have been avoided if the sender had read the rules and instructions pages:
How do you go about posting a for sale ad on your website?
