"Buyer beware" is not a legal term nor does not provide immunity to anyone involved in a transaction.

Like it or not, as part of the transaction between those offering service and those soliciting services, this site does has obligations if it wants to avoid potential liability. Companies like eBay routinely remove fraudulent sellers and buyers from their site - for good reason.

On this site JelSoft offers a services forum for people to solicit business; as part of the transaction, there is the element of liability and responsibility on their part.

As forum owners I would think you would be a little better versed in your potential liability for the services you provide.
