General guidelines and process
We at Rangeen Marketplace Ltd. (“Rangeen,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have created the following prohibited products and policies (“Prohibited Products policy”) to expand and clarify Rangeen’s ethical stance. You’re bound to the Prohibited Products policy, too: they’re part of the Agreement, and by using the Service you agree that you have read them, that you understand them, and that you will comply with them.
If you see any capitalized terms that aren’t defined in this Prohibited Products policy, they’ll have the meaning we give them elsewhere in the Agreement.
If a Merchant or Store does not comply with this Prohibited Products policy, access to the Store may be removed without notice for both the Merchant and any Visitors or Users, and the Merchant may be refused further access to the Service.
Animals
Live animals.
Endangered species.
Rangeen observes and enforces the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (“CITES”) http://www.cites.org, which regulates the trade of endangered wildlife and fauna. Products in violation of CITES may not be sold.
Items made from cat and dog parts or pelts.
Products made from the skin of seals.

Investment opportunities or other services that promise high rewards.
Gift cards for external services or products.

Offensive goods
Goods or materials that promote, encourage, or incite violent acts, intolerance or hatred may not be sold or promoted on Rangeen. This includes products or goods that defame or slander any person or groups of people based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, or other factors.
Services that do not deliver a physical or digital product
Sexually explicit products or pornography
We acknowledge that it's often difficult to define what's considered mature content (much of which is allowed on Rangeen), and what’s considered pornography (which isn't allowed). Products that are sex-positive and that celebrate eroticism and the human body can be sold on Rangeen; anything that displays or encourages exploitation and/or the objectification of people cannot. We reserve the right to remove any product that we feel falls under the latter category.
Product images may not be overly sexual, show excessive amounts of skin, or focus unnecessarily on body parts. Thinly veiled cover-ups may not affect our determination of whether an image qualifies as nude or pornographic.
Fine art nude photography sold in Stores may contain non-pornographic depictions of nude body parts, within reason.
Prostitution, or sale of other services of sexual manner (streaming, live shows or other).
Social media activity
Sales of Twitter followers, Facebook likes, YouTube views, and other forms of social media activity.
Stolen goods
Stolen goods may not be sold. Rangeen cooperates with the authorities as required by law.
Tobacco, medicines, or illegal drugs
Tobacco, e-cigarettes, and e-liquid.
Controlled substances, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, designer drugs, research chemicals, drug making ingredients, and cannabidiol (CBD) oil.
Drug paraphernalia (e.g., vaporizers, bongs, grinders, hookahs).
Substances designed to mimic illegal drugs (e.g., salvia, kratom).
Trademarked items
Trademarked items or items for which you do not own the intellectual property rights or the explicitly authorized right to resell.
Used cellphones
Used cell phones may not be sold, due to being classified as a high risk business.
Used products
We discourage sales of used products unless they are considered vintage. A vintage product is one that is at least 25 years old.
If used products are sold, they must be clearly and conspicuously designated as such in the product description. Suitable descriptions such as "Secondhand," "Used," "Refurbished," and "Vintage" may be used.
Merchants must list the details of the product's true condition regardless of whether any flaws are easily observable or not, and also provide information about the product's repair history.
Merchants may not provide fraudulent, misleading, or incorrect descriptions or photographs of used products, but photographs may depict the product as new or in original packaging, as long as it is otherwise clear that the product is used.
Video game or virtual world accounts or credits
Gaming or virtual world accounts, characters or items.
In-game or virtual world currency.
Virtual currency or stored value
e.g., Bitcoin.
Other
If Rangeen is presented with specific cases that do not fall within the guidelines described above, but in Rangeen's reasonable view breaches established moral and ethical boundaries, Rangeen reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the account.
