What can't I sell on Waise?

The prohibited-use rules in Waise's terms, and what can happen to a store that breaks them.

These rules are in Waise's Terms of Use, section 8, "Prohibited use". This page is a summary; the terms are what apply.

You may not sell, offer or publish

• Products or services that are illegal where you operate or where you ship, or that need a license or permit you do not have.
• Counterfeits, stolen goods, and anything that infringes a trademark, copyright or other right.
• Firearms, ammunition and their parts, explosives and hazardous materials.
• Illegal drugs, prescription drugs without the required authorization, and tobacco, vaping, alcohol or cannabis products in breach of the law or to anyone under the legal age.
• Sexually explicit content, and any content that exploits minors.
• Gambling, paid lotteries, pyramid or multi-level marketing schemes, and investment or financial products.
• False health or safety claims.
• Content that is hateful, threatening, defamatory, harassing or misleading; spam; and anything meant to deceive shoppers or steal their information.
• Malware, or any attempt to harm the service or other stores.

You also may not use Waise if you or your business are subject to sanctions of the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Israel or the United Nations, or to sell to a country or person subject to such sanctions.

What can happen

If Waise finds such use, it may remove content, suspend the store immediately and close the account. Waise may also suspend or limit a store, with notice where practical, if it reasonably believes the store is used for fraud, deceives shoppers, causes unusual chargebacks or complaints, or if a law, court, regulator, card network or provider requires it. If a repeat copyright infringer is found, the account can be terminated.

A suspended store is kept for 90 days, and you can ask for your data as files. See Export or delete your data.
