Acceptable use

Stashed is open to anyone without an application process. That only works if the boundaries are written down. This policy is what we rely on to remove a shop, and it is also what our payment providers require of us — some of these restrictions are theirs, not ours, and we cannot waive them.

It forms part of the terms of service.

• Anything illegal where you are, or where your customer is.
• Weapons, ammunition, explosives, and parts or instructions for making them.
• Illicit drugs, precursors, and paraphernalia marketed for illicit use.
• Prescription medicines, and medical devices or treatments that require a licence you do not hold.
• Tobacco, vaping products and alcohol, unless you hold the licences your jurisdiction requires and comply with them.
• Live animals, and products from endangered or protected species.
• Counterfeit goods, replicas passed off as genuine, and anything infringing someone else’s trade mark, copyright or design.
• Stolen goods, and equipment for defeating security or surveillance.
• Sexual services, and sexually explicit material involving anyone who is not a consenting adult.
• Human remains, organs and bodily fluids.
• Financial instruments, securities, and anything that constitutes a regulated financial product without the licence to offer it.
• Multi-level marketing schemes, pyramid schemes, and get-rich-quick offers.
• Personal data, credentials, and account access.

• Misrepresenting what a product is, where it ships from, when it will arrive, or who is selling it.
• Taking payment for goods you have no intention or ability to supply.
• Using the platform to launder money, evade sanctions, or process payments for a business other than the one your shop describes.
• Harassing, threatening or doxxing anyone, including your own customers.
• Publishing content that incites violence or hatred against a group of people.
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the platform, other shops, or other people’s accounts.
• Scraping, overloading or interfering with the platform or its infrastructure.
• Injecting code into your storefront that harvests customer credentials or payment details.

Some things are lawful but restricted. If you sell them you are responsible for verifying age or eligibility, holding the required licences, and complying with the advertising rules that apply. We may ask you to evidence this and may suspend the shop until you do.

Depending on severity we may remove a listing, restrict a feature, suspend payouts, suspend the shop, or close the account. Where the circumstances allow it we will tell you what the problem is and give you a chance to fix it.

Where the breach involves an immediate risk to customers, a legal obligation, or a payment-provider requirement, we may act without prior notice.

We may report activity to law enforcement where we are required to, or where we believe it is necessary to prevent serious harm.
