GATE Management's Authority is Final

GATE has no authority over any business transaction within or without GATE Village and offers absolutely no remedy or warranty for any failed transaction between any parties (unless one of those parties is a GATE Employee). This remains true regardless of any information objects that may be put in the GATE Registered System of Records All business transactions are between independent business concerns and have exactly the same legal effect with or without the existence or use of GATE Village. GATE does not have the authority nor the intent to involve itself in such independent business transactions before, during or after the transaction.

When a Trust Investigation Request is received (or an investigation is triggered due to GATE monitoring and auditing activities), GATE reviews the activities only as they relate to the trustworthiness of the parties involved – and thus GATE feels it reasonable not to allow an endless stream of appeals and other legal proceedings. All GATE Members and Vendors agree to give up their right to sue GATE Employees, Directors, or Officers for any GATE Trust Investigation related activity.

GATE Management's Authority is absolute and final, any verdict is final and the only remedy a GATE Member has is to leave GATE Village. That being said, GATE Village only works if the GATE Membership believes it will work and so GATE Management will continue to work with the membership to revise and update the GATE Trust Policy and GATE Conflict of Interest Policy so as to meet the Mission of GATE: Global Alliance of Trusted Experts Inc., to manage GATE Village, the Member-Owned, Member-Focused Online Community of Trusted Experts doing Trusted Commerce.
