This is a placeholder template prepared for product review. Final legal text must be reviewed by qualified counsel before public launch. It does not constitute legal advice.
This policy lists the categories of content and behaviour that are not allowed on RuleSell. It applies to every account and supplements our Terms of Service. We update it regularly and keep an audit trail of changes.

You may not: probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of RuleSell or any connected system without prior written permission; use automated systems to exceed published rate limits; impersonate another person, team, or organisation; sell, transfer, or rent your account; circumvent geographic, age, or content restrictions; misrepresent the licence, authorship, or quality of an item; submit fake reviews or coordinate review brigading.
Consequences
Where we identify a breach we may, depending on severity, issue a warning, demote a listing, unpublish an item, suspend or terminate an account, withhold pending payouts, refer the matter to law enforcement, and/or seek injunctive relief. Where we act we provide a Statement of Reasons (DSA Art. 17) explaining the legal basis, the facts relied on, and the available appeal route.
How to report a breach
Use the Report button on the offending listing, review, or profile, or visit /report. We confirm receipt and act without undue delay (DSA Art. 16). Reporters acting in good faith are protected from retaliation.
