Sales policy

In my experience of doing sales for a few months now, I think it's
necessary to introduce some more guidelines. if you're interested in
buying, you should read them first.

Requirements

You should be at least 18 years of age and/or capable of downloading,
installing, and configuring some files. Some basic skills like reading,
understanding the content of a manual, and patience are presumed.

• The World speaks English and so shall you. Otherwise get some training
• Vendors don't have the time to teach you how to read. Browse some
  boards on how to unzip password protected files
• Vendors will NOT teach you how to install games or graphic
  drivers. Anything not related to the cheat itself is your problem

Payments

You should own a PayPal/Moneybookers account and have the full amount
of money ready before even talking about a sale. Don't send any money
before you have talked to the vendor and have negotiated a deal.

• Vendors don't accept partial payments
• Identify yourself by your username or first name when transferring money
• Receiving money from a unknown person causes trouble and a lot of
  paperwork for nothing. Add transaction id, your email and name to any
  payment and any correspondence
• If you cannot use paypal, make a friend send the money. Vendors do
  not accept checks or bank transfers

After You Have Paid

Don't start spamming the board or send 1000s of PMs to the coder asking for
the downloads. Most of us have real lives and other stuff to do. Sometimes
we even need some sleep. So be patient and wait for an answer, instead of
wrongly assuming that you've been defrauded.

• Confirm the payment by sending a private message to the vendor,
  including transaction ID, your email address, amount of money and
  anything that will help him to verify your payment easily
• Follow the instructions given by the vendor
• One message is enough. Spamming is not the key to success.

In most cases you're granted access to some protected area or private
board. Make sure to read all the information carefully before asking questions
that have been answered a thousand times before.

Problems

Satisfied customers are what every vendor is looking for. If you're interested
in some feedback, just talk to our customers. However life is trouble and
nothing can be fool-proof. Anything can be sorted out with your help.

• Hacks are "hacks". Bypassing detections and hijacking games by
  undocumented means may cause trouble on certain environments.
  Antivirus- and firewall- software as well as other software changing
  your OS in a fundamental way (also graphic drivers) may interfere
  with intended behaviour.
  
  If a hack does not work on your machine, provide a detailed bug report
  to help to sort things out. Also show some cooperation by switching
  software and/or (un-)installing them.
• Use the support thread if possible instead of private messages. Other
  customers can be of help too
• Use existing threads
• Don't cry for instant money refund. That should be the last resort
