Prohibited & Restricted Products Policy
Items that may never be sold and those requiring authorisation.
1. Purpose and scope#
1.1 This Prohibited & Restricted Products Policy ("Policy") identifies products and content that may not be sold ("Prohibited Items") or that may be sold only subject to conditions and approvals ("Restricted Items") on the Fawran marketplace ("Platform").

6. Fawran's rights and enforcement#
6.1 Fawran may, at any time and without prior notice where appropriate: refuse, remove, or suppress Listings; restrict or revoke category or model eligibility; require documentation or pre-approval; quarantine, return, or dispose of non-compliant inventory (including FBF inventory, subject to the Commission & Fee Policy — FBF); withhold or reserve funds; suspend or terminate the Seller; and report to authorities and rights holders.
6.2 The Seller is liable for all consequences of listing or selling Prohibited or non-compliant Restricted Items, including refunds, removal, disposal, fines, claims, and Fawran's losses, and shall indemnify Fawran accordingly.
7. Consumer protection and safety#
7.1 This Policy supports compliance with the Consumer Protection Law No. 7 of 2017 and product-safety requirements. Nothing in this Policy limits Buyers' statutory rights or the Seller's responsibility for the safety and legality of its Items.
8. Amendments, electronic acceptance, governing law, and disputes#
8.1 Fawran may update this Policy, including the lists of Prohibited and Restricted Items, at any time in accordance with the Seller Agreement; changes are effective on publication or as stated, given the safety and legal importance of this Policy.
