"You agree not to do any of the following: Post, upload, publish, submit or transmit any User Content that: (i) infringes, misappropriates or violates a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy; (ii) violates, or encourages any conduct that would violate, any applicable law or regulation or would give rise to civil liability; (iii) is fraudulent, false, misleading or deceptive; (iv) is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, vulgar or offensive; (v) promotes discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment or harm against any individual or group; (vi) is violent or threatening or promotes violence or actions that are threatening to any person or entity; or (vii) promotes illegal or harmful activities or substances.Excerpt from Faire's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Acceptable use provisions engage the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for IP infringement, the FTC Act for fraudulent or misleading content, and applicable state and federal law for defamation and harmful content. Brands operating in regulated product categories (food, health, cosmetics) should note that the prohibition on misleading content applies to product descriptions submitted through the platform. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low-Medium. The acceptable use standards are broadly consistent with industry norms for B2B marketplace platforms; the key compliance risk arises from the interaction between these standards and the no-notice account suspension provision. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: The prohibition on content violating 'any applicable law or regulation' is a catch-all that incorporates jurisdiction-specific requirements; brands selling internationally should assess whether their product descriptions comply with applicable law in all jurisdictions where Faire operates. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Brands using third-party content (photography, copy, licensed imagery) in product listings should confirm that their licenses permit sublicensing to Faire under the content license clause, and that the content complies with the acceptable use prohibitions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Marketing and catalog management teams should establish a review process to confirm that product listings submitted to Faire comply with the acceptable use standards and applicable product description regulations in relevant jurisdictions.
