Thank you Michael, things were going in so many different directions I couldn't keep up. Thanks for setting this up so I can continue to modify it here ~ very cool!
RZA (Rare Zoa Association) Rules of Participation
Grower
reefkprZ will QB the growing of two initial frags. He will be responsible for receiving, growing, fragging and shipping the frags to the waiting participants on the list. Z will recieve a frag off of each colony he grows for free
Planner
COWFISHRULE will be the planner. His job will be to collect the money, order the initial frags, and put the names on the list in the order that they paid. He will also officially close each list on each zoa once the maximum number of participants has been reached. The list must be kept updated, and posted as to who has paid, what order they are in, and when the frags are shipped. He is the only one that may contact the grower in dealing with this whole operation. He is responsible for supplying the addresses of the next receiver to the grower and relaying tracking info. He will also receive a free frag off of each colony that he organizes and handles info for.
Rules of Participation
1. Everyone who participates will contribute $20.00+ to cover the initial cost and shipping charges of the frag they desire
2. Limit of 10 people per frag (those who already indicated they are interested have first crack (since there are only going to be two initial choices there is no limit, but bidding will be round-robin to allow everyone a chance at the zoas) ~ after that it opens up to anyone else who wants in)
3. No one gets a frag until there are enough polyps for everyone to receive their individual 3 polyp frag (that means the original frag has to grow to 36 polyps)
4. Grower and Planner each receive their frag for free
5. Everyone pays final shipping costs over and above initial costs to receive their frag
6. Each individual who receives a frag agrees that if they continue to grow and frag their zoa they will continue to offer it on this forum for the same cost per polyp that they originally paid.
Conditions of Participation
1. Everyone who participates understands that it could be a year or more before they receive their frag.
2. Everyone who participates understands they could lose their initial investment as a result of unforseen circumstances (tank crashes, shipping error, etc.) and agrees not to hold planner or grower or Saltwaterfish.com responsible for their lose
3. Everyone who participates understands that the zoa colony may morph as a result of tank conditions and that the frag they receive may not resemble the original frag that was purchased.
4. Everyone who participates understands that if they violate these rules (for example, by contacting the grower directly) they will be expelled from the association and forfeit their initial investment.
PMs sent to COWFISHRULES to see if he can agree to these terms.
I still agree to these rules and will participate as noted in post 109,
NOTE: If the rules change after this has begun, or expectations of my duties/participation changes without my consent, I will walk away from this project hands down, and not look back.
If such a case occurs I will return the original frag purchased by the Rare Zoa Association (hereafter called RZA) to the organizer (or recipient of the orignizers designation) at its original size/polyp count, at the expense of the RZA.
I'm not saying this to be mean but we need to be 100% sure on what is happening, that wont happen if the rules change after getting everyones consent.
I hope everyone understands this, I dont want anyone to be shafted or confused or mislead.
