To ensure a healthy and friendly environment, to ensure that the platform is following the University of Montana’s policies and values, and to ensure that this platform functions in a way that is conducive to the goals of Griz Give-and-Get, we ask that you please respect your fellow Grizzly by following these rules:

Participate as yourself. Since you must sign into Griz Give-and-Get through your University email, your name will be known if you decide to use Griz Give-and-Get. Please be honest about who you are and do not try to be someone who you are not. All users must participate through their own University account (Please do not use other people’s accounts).

• Nothing Illegal (includes pirated material)
• Nothing That Violates the University’s Academic Code of Conduct (e.g. former tests, plagiarized materials, etc.)
• No Drugs or Alcohol
• No Pornography
• No Weapons
• No Live Animals or Pets

Keep it civil

• No Hate Speech

Give Freely! All items that users post on Griz Give-and-Get are free. This means that you must give away items without any money, trading, or other strings attached. If you are looking for a place where you can sell your used goods, please consider selling at a Pawn Shop or using a platform like Craigslist, Ebay, or Facebook Marketplace.

Respect the Privacy of Others. If someone sends you a direct message about how/where you should contact them to receive a good, then never share this information with anyone else. Respect the privacy of others in the same way that you want your privacy to be respected.

We Recommend Not Providing Any Personal Contact Information. Except your University email address (if you want to) in Public Channels. While you may decide that it is easiest to give a getter your personal contact information or address to arrange how you want to gift the getter, we recommend that you do this only through private, direct messages. You can send a direct message to a person by clicking on the “Chat” on the sidebar of Teams. Please see more information on this in the instructions.

Only Come to Get an Item After You Make Arrangements with A Giver. In the event that a giver posts where one can pick up the item, we ask that you please verify with the giver to make sure it is okay for you to come to the location to pick up the item. We want to ensure that nobody causes accidental theft.
