Blueleo Listings Guidelines

Date of Last Revision: April 17, 2009

Welcome to the Blueleo website (the "Site" or "Blueleo"). Please take a few minutes to review these Listing Guidelines.

Blueleo is a communication, event management, calendar, classified listing and resource tool intended for parents and is operated by Blueleo LLC ("us", "we" or "our"). One such tool enables users to connect with each other by posting classified ads on Blueleo ("Blueleo Listings"). Users can use Blueleo Listings to post a classified ad for: (i) buying, selling, trading or donating items and services including Baby & Kid Products, Baby & Kid Clothing, Baby & Kid Furniture, Strollers, Games, Toys, Books, DVDs, Maternity Wear, Sporting Equipment, Music Instruments, Electronics, Tickets and such other categories as we may add from time to times; and (ii) finding resources and services including Babysitters, Nannies, Babynurses, Tutors, Housecleaners, Real Estate or Volunteer Opportunities and such other resources and services as we may add from time to time.

All Blueleo Listings posted on or through the Site and all transactions conducted in connection therewith, are subject to and governed by these Blueleo Listings Guidelines (the "Guidelines") as well as the Terms of Use. When you use Blueleo Listings in any manner you are agreeing to abide by these Guidelines and any other terms set forth in our Terms of Use.
