All sellers are expected to adhere to the following policies when listing products on VTT Marketplace. Seller offenses and prohibited content can result in suspension of your VTT Marketplace account.
This policy requires that sellers act fairly and honestly on VTT Market place to ensure a safe buying and selling experience for all. All sellers must adhere to the following code of conduct:
Violating the Code of Conduct or any other VTT Marketplace policies may result in actions against your account, such as cancellation of listings, suspension or forfeiture of payments, and removal of selling privileges. More details about these policies are below.
You must provide accurate information to VTT Marketplace and our customers and update the information if it changes as soon. You are asked to use a business name that accurately identifies your business and services and list your products in the correct category.
You must act fairly and lawfully and may not misuse any service provided by VTT Marketplace. Examples of unfair activities include:
You may not attempt to influence or inflate customers’ ratings, feedback, and reviews. You may request feedback and reviews from your own customers in a neutral manner, but may not:
You may not send unsolicited or inappropriate messages. All communications to customers must be sent through Buyer-Seller Messaging and be necessary for fulfilling the order or providing customer services. Marketing communications are prohibited.
If you receive customer information such as addresses or phone numbers to fulfil orders, you may use that information only to fulfil orders and must delete it after the order has been processed. You may not use customer information to contact customers (except through Buyer-Seller Messaging) or share it with any third-party.
You may not attempt to circumvent the VTT Marketplace sales process or divert VTT Marketplace customers to another website. This means that you may not provide links or messages that prompt users to visit any external website or complete a transaction elsewhere.
You may only maintain one Seller account for each region in which you sell unless you have a legitimate business need to open a second account and all of your accounts are in good standing. If any of your accounts are not in good standing, we may deactivate all of your selling accounts until all accounts are in good standing.
Examples of a legitimate business justification include:
VTT Marketplace understands that many brands may choose to have brand protection agencies or agents report intellectual property infringement on their behalf and accepts submissions from authorized agents. However, VTT Marketplace does not permit individuals with active selling accounts to file infringement notices as an agent of a brand when the filing of those notices could benefit their own selling account (through removing competing listings, for example). Any sellers filing notices as an agent to benefit their own status as a seller may have their selling account terminated.
