Acceptable Use Policy

1 Prohibited Businesses, Products, and Services

Sellers and Service Providers may not use OO1Market to list, sell, or facilitate the exchange of the following prohibited items and services. This list strictly adheres to the regulations of our payment processors and the Federal Republic of Nigeria:

2 Prohibited Platform Activities

Because OO1Market utilizes a zero-trust managed Escrow system via official payment gateway subaccounts, attempting to bypass or manipulate the financial engine is strictly forbidden. You agree not to engage in:

• Escrow Circumvention & Local Meetups: Attempting to take marketplace transactions off-platform or asking buyers to transfer funds directly to external bank accounts instead of utilizing the OO1Market Escrow checkout is strictly forbidden. All physical logistics must be conducted as a "Local Meetup (Escrow Protected)", where the buyer pays into the OO1Market Escrow first, meets locally to inspect the item, and then approves the release of funds. Unprotected "Direct Meetups" or "Pay on Delivery" are strictly prohibited.
• Unregulated Remittance & Gift Coin Abuse: Attempting to use the platform as an unlicensed peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfer service. Gift Coins may only be given to creators via public feed interactions as a reward for content. Attempting to bypass this by exchanging funds privately in chat to evade Escrow or launder money is strictly prohibited. While legitimately earned Gift Coins can be converted to withdrawable Cash Earnings, directly purchased coins are strictly non-refundable and non-withdrawable.
• Milestone & Delivery Fraud: Submitting false delivery proofs (e.g., uploading empty .zip files for digital services or submitting fraudulent courier tracking numbers for physical goods) to trigger the 72-hour auto-release timer.
• API & System Abuse: Using automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to manipulate the "People Nearby" algorithm, artificially inflate "View Status" counts, or overwhelm the database via chat injection.

3 Social Commerce & Content Standards

OO1Market integrates social discovery tools. When using features like Status Updates, Localised Search, and Universal Chat, users must not upload or transmit content that:

• Promotes hate speech, violence, racial intolerance, or terrorism.
• Harasses, stalks, extorts, or threatens other buyers, sellers, or OO1Market staff.
• Contains malware, trojan horses, or attempts to execute DOM-based XSS attacks via chat/review injections.
• Exposes the personal, private information (doxxing) of third parties.

4 Investigations & Enforcement

To maintain a safe zero-trust environment, OO1Market employs active transaction monitoring and automated interventions.

• State Freezing: If a transaction is flagged for fraud or a dispute is formally submitted, OO1Market will instantly execute a "State Freeze" on the order. This halts the Escrow payout timer indefinitely until arbitration is concluded.
• Account Suspension: We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates this AUP.
• Funds Forfeiture & Reversal: If a seller is found guilty of fraud, selling prohibited items, or violating AML compliance, OO1Market and our payment partners reserve the right to unilaterally execute a refund via the payment gateway to return funds to the buyer from the seller’s subaccount.
• Law Enforcement: Severe violations will be immediately reported to the appropriate Nigerian law enforcement agencies and our payment gateway partners.
