A few Questions and Answers!

Q: Why is the site called Xpoit.com?
A: If you noticed our logo you'll see its made up of two words, "Xpo" and "It", the word Xpo coming from the word Expo which is short for exposition or exhibition, the definition of which is a large collection of things put on display which is essentially what this site allows its users to do. So if you've got something you'd like to display or show off, why not Xpo it, i.e. Xpoit.com

Q: Is Xpoit.com an online shop or store?
A: No, Xpoit.com is an online collectors/social networking site, we have added an option that allows users to set their uploaded items at "Sale Considered" or "Not For Sale" but this is to notify other users as to whether they can contact another collector and ask if they'd be willing to sell their item or not. Any sales carried out as a result of contacting another user through Xpoit.com are done so in private and at each user's own risk.

Q: Does Xpoit.com buy items from users?
A: No, Xpoit.com is just a place for users to display their collectors items and get in touch with other collectors, we don't currently consider ANY items for sale nor do we sell any items through the site.

Q: Does Xpoit.com pay me for uploading content to the site?
A: Unfortunatley not, Xpoit.com does not offer any kind of payment for the uploading of content to the site, we currently offer FREE accounts to users to host their collections and help them archive it and quite possibly help generate interest in particular collectors items. But we do not pay for any usage of content uploaded by you (the user). For more information please read our User Agreement.

Q: I took some photos at a museum, can I upload these?
A: No, not unless you have permission (written) from the museum or owner of the items. For further information on this please read the User Agreement. Some private and public museum artifacts and collections on display are protected and therefore cannot be publicly displayed without the owners permission, so please be careful to ensure you have permission or own the items in the photos you are uploading!

Q: Can I upload photographs of scenery and stuff?
A: Not really, if we see any uploads that are not considered to be of items or collections such as a photo of a sunset or a snap of you and your friends on a night out, its more than likely going to be deleted off the site as we need to keep room on our server for actual collectors items and memorabilia, any user who keeps uploading such photos will eventually have their account deleted with Xpoit.com and any user who uploads inappropriate or illegal material will be reported to the relevant authorities.

Q: I'm not sure I own the copyright to a photo I want to upload?
A: Copyright can be a confusing subject but the best way to ensure your not infringing anyone elses copyright is by knowing whether or not you took the photograph and/or if you own the item in the photograph. If so then you own the copyright to that image (but any brands or trademarks contained within that image are the property of their respective owners). If you didn't take the photograph and know who did then you'll need their permission to use it or if you just took the photograph from google or the internet, you don't own it and someone else does and you should not upload this as you will be infringing someone else copyright and you maybe liable if any costs are inccured to Xpoit.com as a result of this. For further information please search online for Copyright laws specific to your area.

Q: What's the point of this site?
A: The main goal of having this site online is to hopefully, with the help of our users create a searchable online exhibition of collector's items, memorabilia and general interesting items and stuff for both collectors themselves and also for the general public to browse through and use as a reference.

Q: Is the site free to use?
