Your privacy is very important to us. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to BBN Network by email to privacy@asiaBarterZone.com. Please allow ten (10) business days for a response to your inquiry.

As part of the normal operation of our services we collect and, in some cases, disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy because we believe you should know as much as possible about asiaBarterZone.com's practices so that you can make an informed decision.

By using the BBN Network, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy. Changes to the Privacy Policy are effective after the posting of such changes on the announcement board. Any such change shall become effective on the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the initial posting of such change. Your continued use of the BBN Network following notification of changes to our Privacy Policy will mean that you accept those changes.

As described below, some of your personally identifiable information is disclosed to third parties and used by third parties and us. By accepting the BBN Network Client Agreement, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information as set fourth in this policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the BBN Network Client Agreement.

1. Information We Collect
   BBN Network will explicitly ask when we need information that identifies your business or allows us or other participating clients to contact You ("Your Information"). Generally this information is requested when registering on asiaBarterZone.com

2. Our Use of Your Information
   2.1 We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize asiaBarterZone.com's content, layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve the BBN Network and better tailor it to meet our clients' needs.
   2.2 We use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the BBN Network. If you do not wish to receive these communications, you have the ability to opt out.
   2.3 If you choose to conduct trades on the BBN Network or open a credit account, we use your address and billing information to bill you and provide associated support.
   2.4 We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the BBN Network, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Client Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple clients to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular, on rare occasions, we may evaluate your information to look for clients using multiple BBN Network Identification card numbers or aliases.
   2.5 We use your information to assess your credit worthiness.

3. Our Disclosure of Your Information
   3.1 As a general practice, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party. The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.
   3.2 The BBN Network. Throughout the asiaBarterZone.com Network, clients can search and view information on other clients, including business name, contact name and contact information. As a result, other clients and third parties might send you unsolicited correspondence and be able to identify your activities on the asiaBarterZone.com Network. We also provide a number of ways to find out more about you and your site activities, such as viewing all of the goods and services you are offering at the time.
   3.3 Legal Requests. The Company cooperates with law enforcement inquires and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. Therefore, intellectual property and other rights owners, and local, state, federal and international law enforcement can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.
   3.4 Credit Reporting Agencies. We may disclose your information to credit reporting agencies.
   3.5 Due to the regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, and company information as we in our sole discretion believe is necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications would remain private.

4. Your Use of Other Clients' Information
   4.1 In order to facilitate interaction among all BBN Network clients, our service allows you to access other clients' contact information. Further, as a seller you will be sent via email or by other online means the BBN Network account number, email address and other information of the interested buyer(s), and as a buyer you will be sent via email the BBN Network account number, email address and other information of the seller.
   4.2 By entering into our Client Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other client's personally identifiable information that you obtain through the BBN Network or through a BBN Network-related communication or asiaBarterZone.com - facilitated transaction, you may use such information only for: (a) BBN Network-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, and (b) any other purpose to which such client expressly consents after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In all cases, you must give clients an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this section, can you disclose personally identifiable information about another client to any third party without our consent and the consent of such other client after adequate disclosure.
   4.3 BBN Network and our clients do not tolerate spam. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you may not add a BBN Network client (even a client who has purchased an item from you) to your mail list (email or physical mail) without that client's express consent after adequate disclosure. 

5. Control of Your Personal Identification Number (PIN)
   5.1 You may not disclose or share your BBN Network PIN (also known as "password") to or with any third parties. If you lose control of your PIN, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. If your PIN has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your PIN.

6. Reviewing and Changing Your Information
   6.1 Following registration, you can review and may be able to change the information you submitted during registration including:

• Your name, company, registration no., address, city, state, post code, country, phone number, , fax number

• Your PIN

• Your credit card number and expiration date

6.2 You must promptly update your information if it changes.
6.3 In responding to a request to have your personally identifiable information removed from our databases, you should not expect that all of your information would be completely removed. In some circumstances, we will maintain your information in order to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Client Agreement. Furthermore, technical constraints (related to database architecture and programming) prevent us from completely removing such information. 

7. Other Information Collectors
   7.1 Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are buyers or sellers on our system, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. Since BBN Network does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

8. Security
   8.1 BBN Network uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

	Fee Policy

	Inventory Policy

To help clients properly list products and services, we've highlighted some inventory policies and describe how we handle inventory violations when they are reported to us.

Pricing
Inventory items listed on the BBN Network must be priced in Trade Ringgit (denoted as TRM). The value of TRM1.00 is equivalent to 1.00 Malaysian (denoted as "RM" or "cash"). All goods and services shall be listed for sale at a TRM price equal to the client's prevailing cash price (e.g. an item that normally sells for RM99.95 cash must be listed at 99.95TRM on the BBN Network).

Transactions via the BBN Network use TRM
BBN Network clients can only use Trade Ringgit (denoted as "TRM") when trading products and/or services via the asiaBarterZone.com Network.

Proper Inventory Category
Inventory must be listed in the appropriate category. Inventory that doesn't belong in a category will be moved to the appropriate category.

Key Word Spamming
Inventory that includes unrelated key word terms used in effort to gain unfair exposure for seller's inventory is not permitted and will be deleted.

Links
Users may place a simple link to another web page in the description portion of their inventory to help provide more information about the listed item. However, the following links are not permitted:

1. links to sites offering merchandise prohibited on the BBN Network's website
2. links to other online barter exchanges
3. links to sites offering the same merchandise for cash, or for the same or lower price

The links described above are not permitted and will be deleted.

	Tax Policy

A Trade may be treated as taxable event for the purposes of Federal and State government tax purposes and the obligation to declare, report and account for all Federal and State government tax purposes resulting from the Trades rests with the Members participating in the Trade Transaction. Each Member hereby indemnifies BBN Network in respect of any penalty charge or cost which may be imposed or incurred in respect of any failure to comply with Federal or State government tax laws in respect of any Trade in which the Member participates. Members acknowledge and agree that BBN Network may be required from time to time to make disclosure to Federal and State government authorities in relation to Trades. BBN Network is authorized to provide any information to and to co-operate at any way with such authorities, in such manner as they in their absolute discretion think fit, and whether or not BBN Network is obliged by law to furnish such information or to provide such co-operation. BBN Network shall not be liable to any Member in respect of information furnished to or co-operation with such authorities, in any circumstances whatsoever.

	Restricted Items Policy

You are responsible for making sure that selling your inventory is (1) not prohibited by law and (2) is allowed on the BBN Network or its website.

The following guidelines will help you properly list items and understand what is allowed on the BBN Network or its website.

1. "Prohibited" means that these inventory items may not be listed, bought or sold on the BBN Network.

Prohibited

• Copyrighted material without the written authorization of the copyright owner
• Counterfeit and illegally duplicated items
• Drugs & drug paraphernalia
• Embargoed items
• Firearms
• Government IDs and licenses
• Human parts and remains
• Prescription drugs/materials
• Stocks and other securities

Important note: Even if you offer to give away for "free" (rather than sell) a prohibited, questionable, or infringing inventory item, this will not relieve you of potential liability. This applies to both seller and buyer.

This list is updated from time to time and is incorporated by reference into the Client Agreement. Notice of updates to this list will be posted on the Announcement Board on the BBN Network on the day of the change.

These guidelines do not constitute legal advice and do not pertain to any particular company's practices. When in doubt, check with law enforcement agencies, a lawyer, the law or with a copyright, trademark or other rights owner for clarification. BBN Network also has adopted certain policies regarding prohibited items, regardless of the legality of the item. As stated in the Client Agreement, you agree to hold BBN Network harmless from and against any and all claims arising out of your violation of any law or your violation or infringement of the rights of any third party as a result of listing products and services on the BBN Network.
