Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

Does he have that oversight that often that it's worth for him to do that?

The cameras could malfunction. Bureaucracy is crazy over there. I once got a fare evasion ticket for taking pictures on a platform in Union Station.

$300 even once in a while is a pretty big deal.

A website I frequent has a rule of only one username per person. As far as I know, he has no real good way of enforcing it.

Is it ethical to make and use a second (or more) username?

Is it ethical to use a personal cashback/affiliate acct for a business purchase?

Are cashback portals intended for personal shopping only or does that include business purchases?

This retailer offers services to other small businesses but it's open for personal accts as well. I'm not sure whether they primarily profit from small business orders or personal orders.

My company already gets a % discount at this retailer and I'm afraid that my getting cashback will eat into the retailer's profits.
