1. Core Rule
You may not use Merchant Mesh for illegal activity, fraud, sanctions evasion, deceptive conduct, money laundering, malware distribution, phishing, harassment, intellectual property infringement, or other conduct that harms users, rights holders, counterparties, or the platform.
Merchant Mesh is an independent software tool platform. Merchants remain responsible for ensuring that their own business activity, content, offers, and customer transactions are lawful and compliant.
2. Explicitly Prohibited Activities
- Fraud, impersonation, counterfeit goods, scam offers, pyramid or Ponzi-type schemes, and deceptive solicitation.
- Illegal gambling, unlicensed wagering, prohibited raffles, or other restricted gaming activity.
- Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, pirated content, and unauthorized resale of protected works.
- Malware, hacking tools, ransomware support, credential theft, phishing, or exploit distribution.
- Illegal drugs, weapons, human trafficking, or any other unlawful goods or services.
- Sanctions evasion, dealings with prohibited jurisdictions or blocked persons, or attempts to hide transaction purpose or origin.
- Using the platform to process payments for third parties in a way that obscures the true seller, beneficiary, or funds flow.
3. High-Risk Activity Review
Adult content, medical products, financial products, token fundraising, sweepstakes, regulated memberships, high-risk cross-border commerce, and similar activity may be restricted, reviewed, or rejected at the platform's discretion.
4. Enforcement
If Merchant Mesh detects or reasonably suspects prohibited or high-risk use, it may suspend accounts, disable payment links, limit API or dashboard access, preserve logs, request information, respond to complaints, remove affected content, or terminate service without prior notice where appropriate.
The platform does not promise to pre-screen every merchant in advance. However, complaints, rights-holder notices, abuse signals, sanctions concerns, and abnormal behavior may trigger review and enforcement action.
