Content Guidelines

Items sold on Vegavend.com must follow our content policy and guidelines, detailed below.

Producers or Vendors of items are expected to conduct proper research to ensure that the items created to be sold on Vegavend.com are in compliance with all local, national, and international laws. If Vegavend.com determines that the content of an item is prohibited, we may summarily remove or alter it without returning any fees the listing has incurred. Vegavend.com reserves the right to make judgements about whether or not content is appropriate.

Content guidelines for books can be viewed here.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with some examples of prohibited content:

• Pornography. Pornography; X-rated movies; home porn; hard-core material, including magazines, that depict graphic sexual acts; amateur porn; soiled undergarments; sexual aid devices; and adult-only novelty items that are primarily sold through adult-only novelty stores and erotic boutiques are not permitted. Unrated erotic videos and DVDs and properly censored erotic artwork and magazines of the type you’d find at a typical bookstore are permitted. Nudity, graphic titles, and descriptions must be sufficiently concealed with censor strips on all items containing such content.
• Offensive material. What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect. This includes items such as crime-scene photos or human organs and body parts. Vegavend.com reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of items sold on our site. Also, be aware of cultural differences and sensitivities. Some items may be acceptable in one country, but unacceptable in another. Please keep in mind our global community of customers.
• Illegal items. Items sold on the Vegavend.com Web site must adhere to all applicable laws. Some items that may not be sold include any products which may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity.
• Stolen goods. If Vegavend.com learns that an item is not the property of the Vendor, or was obtained through illegal means, we’ll immediately remove the item from our Web site.
• Items that infringe upon an individual’s privacy. Vegavend.com holds personal privacy in the highest regard. Therefore, items that infringe upon, or have potential to infringe upon, an individual’s privacy are prohibited. Additionally, the sale of marketing lists (bulk e-mail lists, direct-mail marketing lists, etc.) is prohibited.
• Solutions manuals. Manuals or teacher’s editions that provide answer keys to student textbook editions are prohibited.
• Recopied media. Copies, dubs, duplicates, or transfers of books, music, videos, software, images, etc., are prohibited. Just as you can’t sell a photocopied book without the author’s permission, you can’t sell copies or duplicates of videos, music, video games, software, photos, etc. Likewise, you can’t sell transferred media–whether laserdisc to video, CD-ROM to cassette tape, or from the Internet to any digital format–unless explicitly approved by the author. In any event, you can’t sell items consisting entirely, or largely, of content that is freely available on and/or originates from the web.
