Your feedback will be displayed along with your user ID on the Site. You cannot retract the feedback once you have left it. Petrostores.com will not be responsible or liable in any way for the feedback that you post on the Site.

Petrostores.com does not provide the technical ability to allow you to import feedback from other websites to the Site because a composite number, without the corresponding feedback does not reflect your true online reputation within our community.
