Product Listing Policy
1. GENERAL PROHIBITIONS:
1.1 You may not post or sell any item that is restricted or prohibited by law in any country or jurisdiction. Please be aware that the www.My-Shoppe.com website ("Site") functions as a global marketplace, thus the selling or posting of items may be prohibited because of laws outside of the jurisdiction where you reside. Below, we have listed some categories of prohibited or restricted items. However, this list is not exhaustive; you, as the seller, are responsible for ensuring that you are not posting an item that is prohibited by law in any jurisdiction.
1.2 My-Shoppe.com has chosen to also prohibit the posting of other categories of items which may not be restricted or prohibited by law but are nonetheless controversial including: (a) Items that encourage illegal activities; (b) Items that are racially, religiously or ethnically derogatory, or that promote hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance; (c) Giveaways, lotteries, raffles, or contests; (d) Stocks, bonds, investment interests, and other securities; (e) Pornographic materials or items that are sexual in nature; (f) Items that do not offer a product or service for sale, such as advertisements solely for the purpose of collecting user information.
1.3 My-Shoppe.com, in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to impose additional restrictions and prohibitions.
2. CONTRACTS
2.1 You are responsible for ensuring that your transaction is lawful and not in violation of any contractual obligation. Before posting an item on the Site, you should carefully read any contracts that you have entered into that might limit your right to sell your item on the Site. In other cases, such as when you are distributing a company's products, you may have signed a separate contract restricting your ability to market the product.
2.2 My-Shoppe.com does not search for items that may raise these types of issues, nor can it review copies of private contracts, or adjudicate or take sides in private contract disputes. However, we want you to be aware that posting items in violation of your contractual obligations could put you at risk with third parties. My-Shoppe.com therefore urges that you not list any item until you have reviewed any relevant contracts or agreements, and are confident you can legally sell it on the Site.
2.3 If you have any questions regarding your rights under a contract or agreement, we strongly recommend that you contact the company with whom you entered into the contract and/or consult with an attorney.
