Prohibited content

This policy applies to everything a seller submits: the product file, its name, description, images, previews and version notes, and the seller profile. Three controls stand behind it today:

• Human review before publication. Every listing enters a review queue when submitted and is published only by a Marketplace moderator; sellers cannot self-publish. A listing that breaches this policy is rejected with a reason.
• Seller suspension. A seller who lists prohibited content may be suspended, which immediately hides all of their listings from the catalog and search and blocks purchases. Serious breaches — CSAM, malware, fraud — result in permanent removal and, where required, a report to the authorities.
• File integrity checks on every upload. Uploads are limited to an allow-list of file types (no SVG, no HTML), the declared type must match the file's real bytes, and executables and scripts are rejected outright.

The categories below are not exhaustive; we may reject or remove content that is harmful, unlawful or contrary to the spirit of the Marketplace even if it is not named here, and the list may change as card-network and payment-processing rules change.

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, real or simulated, and any content that sexualises minors — zero tolerance; we report it to the authorities and permanently remove the account
• Content that facilitates human trafficking, exploitation or abuse
• Instructions or tools whose primary purpose is committing a crime, including credential theft, fraud kits, and unlawful surveillance
• Anything illegal to sell or distribute in the United States or in the seller’s or buyer’s jurisdiction

• Pornography and sexually explicit content created for sexual gratification, in any medium — PayGate cannot process payments for it, so it cannot be sold here
• Sexual content depicting real, identifiable people without their documented consent, including AI-generated likenesses
• Escort, sexual or intimate services of any kind

Artistic nudity in a non-sexual context (figure studies, classical art references, anatomy) may be listed if it is clearly labelled in the description and the preview images are not explicit. When in doubt, ask before you submit.

• Files you do not own or have no licence to sell — including resold ebooks, fonts, stock media, courses, samples, plugins, themes and code
• Unauthorised copies, cracks, keygens, "nulled" software, licence-bypass tools and modified versions of others’ products
• Counterfeit goods, and products that use a third party’s trademarks, characters or brands without permission
• Scraped, ripped or mirrored content from other creators, platforms or websites
• AI-generated content that reproduces a living artist’s name, style or work as a selling point without their consent

Rights holders can send a notice under the Copyright & DMCA policy; repeat infringers are removed.

• Malware, spyware, adware, ransomware, miners, or code with hidden functionality of any kind
• Software that collects, transmits or stores user or workspace data without clear disclosure in the listing
• Obfuscated code sold as a product, and software that downloads and executes remote code not described in the listing
• Tools designed to circumvent security controls, licence checks, rate limits, DRM or tenant isolation
• Bots, automation or scripts intended for spam, fake engagement, credential stuffing or scraping

Products that need network access, credentials or workspace permissions must say so, and why, in the listing. See the Listing guidelines for what software listings must disclose.

• "Get rich quick", guaranteed-return, multi-level marketing, and investment or trading "systems" presented as sure things
• Fake reviews, testimonials, followers, engagement or credentials, and products that generate them
• Products that misrepresent what they are, what they contain, who made them, or what results they deliver
• Diplomas, certifications, IDs or official documents, real or imitation
• Medical, health or pseudo-pharmaceutical products making unproven claims

• Content that attacks or dehumanises people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or similar characteristics
• Content that incites or glorifies violence, terrorism or self-harm
• Harassment, doxxing, threats, or content created to target or humiliate an individual

• Weapons, weapon parts, 3D-printable weapon files, explosives and instructions for making them
• Drugs, controlled substances, drug paraphernalia and products designed to pass drug tests
• Gambling, lotteries, sweepstakes and betting products or systems
• Tobacco, vaping and alcohol products
• Anything else PayGate cannot process payments for (section 08 links the underlying list)

PayGate's payment processing is provided by Stripe, so the underlying list is Stripe's Restricted Businesses page; it can change without notice from us.

• Personal data of others: contact lists, leads databases, scraped profiles, or any dataset containing personal information collected without a lawful basis
• Accounts, logins, in-game currency or virtual items belonging to other platforms, and access to services you do not control
• Products whose only value is bypassing another platform’s terms
