Players can be transfer listed at anytime you (the manager) wish, as long as you have enough money for the appropriate transfer market fee. The player is transfer listed for a period of 48 hours plus additional time if the player is being bid on less than two (2) minutes before the deadline (the deadline is extended for two (2) minutes each time this happens). If the player was bid on in the alloted time frame he is transfered to the highest bidder after the transfer update that is run every day at 1 AM (server time). If player is sold, the GITD (tax department) charges the seller (not the buyer) with the appropriate amount of tax (see details below). However, if the player received no offers, then he will stay at your (the sellers) team. You may transfer list a player that was already on the transfer market again. This can be done as many times as you wish, as long as you abide by the rules provided.<br /><br />
<div style="padding-left: 10px;"><u>2.1. TRANSFER MARKET FEE</u><br />
You are obligated to pay $ 2,500 to the GI Transfer Market officials in order to put your player on transfer list. This is done automatically as you (the manager) agree to transfer list the player.</div><br />

Transfers that are under the current market conditions too high are considered to be unrealistic and are not allowed. What are the current market conditions? The prices the players reach can change over a period of time. So to evaluate if a transfer or a bid is legal, we need to examine the prices players with approximately the same attributes as the player in question reach at the time of the alleged unrealistic transfer and/or bid.

You are allowed to go into the red numbers with your team (up to $ -400,000), but you will not be allowed to buy new players or facilities if you are down there in the red. If you go over this limit, then your team will receive a warning and 1 week of time to recover your finances and rise above that number again. If you fail to recover your finances within the period given to you by the Grid-Iron Association (7 days), your team will be declared bankrupt and closed down (converted to bot team). This for you (the manager) means that you will be out of a job. Of course, in this case, if you still wish to play Grid-Iron, you may re-apply for a new team immediately after that.

All actions undertaken by you or by your club are your (the managers) responsibility. This includes, but is not limited to, player transfers, safekeeping of your password (NOTE: We do not advise you to access Grid-Iron from a public computer, but if you do so, the least you can do is not store your password on it and log out of the game after you are done), any construction work (facilities, facility upgrades, stadium upgrades and parking spaces)... All such actions are final and cannot be reversed, canceled or refunded.

It is strictly forbidden to harass and/or spam other Grid-Iron users. This applies to:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 10px">- sending personal messages with interrogatory, elitistic and/or verbally abusive content to manager(s) that are bidding for the same player(s) as you<br />
- sending messages to other managers to buy your player(s) and/or to buy someone elses players<br />
- sending messages with verbally abusive content for any reason whatsoever<br />
- sending one message of a similar nature to multiple managers<br />
<div style="padding-left: 10px;"><u>2.1. SPAMMING FOR PERSONAL GAIN</u><br />
Any message(s) sent for your outside (out of Grid-Iron) personal or any company's gain are strictly forbidden and can result in immediate and permanent termination of your Grid-Iron account. This includes, but is not limited to, any and all money making networks, referral programs, etc...
