Applications for prohibited products are declined, and existing accounts found selling them are subject to removal. #### 1. Not a digital product * Physical goods of any kind * Services of any kind — including marketing, design, web development, consulting, and other freelance or agency services * Donations or charity giving where no product exists or the price exceeds the product's value * Timeshares and real estate #### 2. Crypto and financial products * Tokens, NFTs, or any crypto-asset products; token sales or launches * Trading signals, investment advice, or investment schemes of any kind * Regulated financial services — lending, banking, currency exchange, debt relief, collections, insurance, warranties * Gambling, pay-to-play auctions, sweepstakes, and lotteries Note: PingBusiness settles to you in stablecoins — but that is a settlement method, not a product category. Selling crypto-financial products to buyers is prohibited. #### 3. Intellectual property and integrity * Products or content for which you do not hold proper license or IP rights * Counterfeit goods * Private Label Rights (PLR) or Master Resell Rights (MRR) products — anything you are licensed to resell but did not originally create * Homework or essay mills * Multi-level marketing, pyramid, or "business-in-a-box" / get-rich-quick schemes #### 4. Content and conduct * Sexually-oriented or pornographic content of any kind, including NSFW chatbots * Spyware, stalkerware, or covert monitoring apps * Malware, hacking tools, or products designed to circumvent security * IPTV services * Job boards, dating sites, and advertising placements (in newsletters, websites, or social posts) * Marketplaces — using your PingBusiness account to sell other people's products as a "partner" #### 5. Illegal and regulated goods * Illegal or age-restricted products: drugs and paraphernalia, alcohol, tobacco, vaping products * Pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and CBD products * Weapons and ammunition * Anything restricted by our payment or settlement partners ### Prohibited Conduct Regardless of what you sell, you must not: * **Misrepresent your products** — sell something different from what you declared in your application or product listings ("transaction laundering"); * **Process fake or self-dealt transactions**, including using your own store to move funds; * **Change your business** — switch product categories or add materially different products without notifying us (this may trigger re-review); * **Sell to or operate from restricted jurisdictions** listed in our onboarding requirements; * **Deceive buyers** — misleading marketing, failure to deliver what was sold, or refusing to honor your stated refund terms; * **Abuse the platform** — circumvent review, share accounts, resell your account, or misuse our APIs. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
