2. When exhibiting, I agree to display only material from my own collection or else to state clearly.

3. I agree neither to buy nor sell philatelic items of which the ownership is questionable.

4. I agree not knowingly to sell, trade, produce, or advertise repaired, altered, or otherwise modified philatelic items unless that condition is clearly stated.

5. I agree not to knowingly participate in any way in the advertisement, sale, or trade of any philatelic material using any deceptive practices.

6. I agree to conduct myself by accepted standards of morality and courtesy in philatelic activities not specifically cited in the code.
