Unauthorized Copies of Intellectual Property
Do not list unauthorized (pirated, duplicated, backup, bootleg, etc.) copies of software programs, video games, music albums, movies, television programs, or photographs on 12ShowU.Net.
NOTICE: This list should not be considered exhaustive in nature and shall be updated on a continuous basis. If you are unsure about the product you wish to list with 12ShowU.Net in regard to its appropriateness or legality, please contact our customer services department at support@12ShowU.Net.
Counterfeit Currency and Stamps
12ShowU.Net strictly prohibits the sale and purchase of counterfeit currency and stamps, coins, bank notes, bonds, money orders, and other securities, as well as equipment designed to produce such illegal items.
Any "reproduction," "replica," or "copy" coin as a collectible item must be clearly marked with the word COPY, REPRODUCTION or REPLICA. Only under this stipulation, such reproduction coins are permitted.
Contracts and Tickets
Before posting an item on 12ShowU.Net, you should carefully read any contracts that you have entered into that might limit your right to sell your item on 12ShowU.Net. Some items, such as airline tickets, have terms printed on the item that may limit your ability to sell that item. In other cases, such as when you are distributing a company's products, you may have signed a separate contract restricting your ability to market the product.
12ShowU.Net does not search for items that may raise these types of issues, nor can it review copies of private contracts, or adjudicate or take sides in private contract disputes. However, we want you to be aware that posting items in violation of your contractual obligations could put you at risk with third parties. 12ShowU.Net therefore urges that you not list any item until you have reviewed any relevant contracts or agreements, and are confident you can legally sell it on 12ShowU.Net.
We provide this information to assist you in protecting yourself from liability and trading safely on 12ShowU.Net. You are responsible for ensuring that your transaction is lawful. If you have any questions regarding your rights under a contract or agreement, we strongly recommend that you contact the company with whom you entered into the contract and/or consult with an attorney.
Credit Card
12ShowU.Net permits the posting of inactive credit or debit cards, provided that the card has been expired for at least 5 years (this time frame was selected by 12ShowU.Net to define "collectible" credit cards for the purposes of our site.)
Unexpired, active credit or debit cards cannot lawfully be transferred from one person to another, and therefore such items may not be listed on 12ShowU.Net. The transfer of recently expired credit cards raises privacy concerns and creates the potential for abuse, and therefore such items are also prohibited on the site. If posting a picture of the card, you should cover or block out at least part of the name and/or credit card number.
Older, expired credit cards originally issued by credit card companies, gas companies, stores, and banks may have some collectible value. 12ShowU.Net will permit the postings of such expired cards, provided that the expiration date on the face of the card is at least 5 years old. Sellers should also examine the terms and conditions on the card to ensure that the sale of the expired card is not prohibited.
Event Ticket Resale Policy
12ShowU.Net permits the resale of tickets to entertainment events (including sporting events, concerts, and plays) to the fullest extent permitted by law.
However, 12ShowU.Net cannot give you legal advice on your ticket transactions, and you should be aware that there may be laws (such as laws of local municipalities that require resellers to obtain licenses) that may apply to your transaction. The information provided here is simply provided to you as a starting point for your research. As a ticket seller, you are responsible for ensuring that your particular transaction does not violate any applicable law or the terms on the ticket itself.
Financial Services
12ShowU.Net prohibits the providing of financial services, including money transfers, issuing bank guarantees and letters of credit, loans, fundraising and funding for personal investment purposes, etc.
Invoices
The sale of any form of invoices, including but not limited to value added invoice, is strictly prohibited on the 12ShowU.Net site.
Real Estate
When you see a real estate posting, it means that buyers can contact the seller to get more information and express interest about the property listed. This format was created for people selling real estate who want to get in contact with as many interested buyers as possible.
Stolen Property
The sale of stolen property is strictly forbidden on 12ShowU.Net, and violates international law. 12ShowU.Net strongly supports law enforcement efforts to recover stolen property that is listed on its Web site, and urges the prosecution of those responsible for knowingly attempting to sell such items on 12ShowU.Net. Stolen property includes items taken from private individuals, as well as property taken without authorization from companies or governments.
If you see an item on 12ShowU.Net that you believe is stolen, your best course is to contact law enforcement immediately. Under 12ShowU.Net 's privacy rules, our attorneys will provide important records about pending and past postings with an official request from law enforcement officials. Please inform the police officer handling the case that 12ShowU.Net will be pleased to cooperate in the investigation, and ask the officer to contact 12ShowU.Net using our law enforcement specific webform.
It is important that this webform be reserved for law enforcement use only, as it enables us to respond quickly in case of emergencies. Emails directed through this webform that are not from law enforcement will be routed to the appropriate mailbox or individual accordingly and may cause delays in response time.
If you are concerned that the images and/or text in your item description have been used by another 12ShowU.Net user without your authorization, or that your intellectual property rights have been violated by such user, please contact our service team.
Animals and Wildlife Products
Species that are the most endangered among CITES-listed animals and plants are prohibited on 12ShowU.Net. These are threatened with extinction and CITES generally prohibits commercial international trade in specimens of these species. However, trade may be allowed under exceptional circumstances, e.g. for scientific research. In these cases, trade may be authorized by the granting of both an export permit (or re-export certificate) and an import permit. Animals protected under CITES require permits to cross international borders.
Species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled. It also includes so-called "look-alike species", i.e. species of which the specimens in trade look like those of species listed for conservation reasons
Species included at the request of a party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation. International trade in specimens of species listed in this Appendix is allowed only on presentation of the appropriate permits or certificates.
Pelts, skins, internal organs, teeth, claws, shells, bones and other parts of endangered species or protected species, such as leopards, tigers, pandas, mountain zebras, etc., are forbidden on 12ShowU.Net as well.
Exceptions: Poultry, livestock and pets, for commercial purposes, are permitted on 12ShowU.Net.
Drugs & Drug Paraphernalia
Narcotics, steroids, poppy seeds, poppy seed products or other controlled substances cannot be listed on 12ShowU.Net.
Drug paraphernalia, including all items that are primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, concealing, or using a controlled substance shall not be listed on 12ShowU.Net.
Items that are not banned in this section include products traditionally intended for use with tobacco products, including pipes made from materials such as briar, clay, and corncob.
Prohibited items are those used for the ingestion of illicit substances including pipes such as water pipes, carburetor pipes, chamber pipes, ice pipes, bongs, etc.
Prescription Drugs and Devices
12ShowU.Net does not permit the posting of any controlled drug or item that requires a prescription from a licensed practitioner (such as a doctor, dentist, or optometrist) to dispense. Certain drugs, such as insulin, come in prescription and non-prescription forms. Such drugs may also be prohibited. If you are uncertain as to the permissibility of your item, please contact 12ShowU.Net prior to posting.
12ShowU.Net also does not permit unauthorized medical devices such as ear candles.
Veterinary Products and Drugs for Animals
Certain drugs prescribed for animals will require a distribution license. For example, many heart worm medicines (such as Sentinel, Revolution, Heartgard and Interceptor) can only be purchased with a prescription, and these items are therefore not allowed on 12ShowU.Net.
However, a number of flea control products (such as Program, Advantage and Top Spot) can be bought and sold without a prescription, and therefore may be listed on 12ShowU.Net.
Ethnically or Racially Offensive Material
Postings that are ethnically or racially offensive are prohibited on 12ShowU.Net. Sellers and purchasers must ensure that any wording used portrays appropriate sensitivity to those who might read it in their postings, and when they are offering or purchasing potentially offensive items or services.
12ShowU.Net encourages all members to treat others as they themselves would like to be treated.
Government IDs and Licenses
The following items may not be listed on 12ShowU.Net:
- Items that claim to be, or appear similar to, official government identification documents or licenses, such as birth certificates, drivers licenses, visas or passports. Furthermore, completed applications for such documents containing personal information may not be listed.
Fake identification cards, or any items that are designed for the manufacturer of such cards.
Human Parts and Remains
Humans, the human body, or any human body part may not be listed on 12ShowU.Net. Examples of prohibited items include, but are not limited to: organs, bone, blood, waste, sperm, and eggs.
Exceptions: Skulls and skeletons that are used for medical or education purposes may be listed on 12ShowU.Net.
Items made of human hairs, such as wigs for commercial uses, are permitted.
Pornographic Materials or Adult Materials
Pornographic materials are not permitted on 12ShowU.Net, as they violate laws in many countries. 12ShowU.Net strictly prohibits items depicting bestiality, rape sex, incest, or sex with graphic violence or degradation.
12ShowU.Net's site is used by people all over the world. However, many countries have laws regulating adult material that are quite strict, and the law regulating the sale of such items through the Internet across national borders is an unsettled issue.
The majority of the reports received concerning adult/sexually-oriented material are related to magazines and videos. Whether to transfer such items to another category or remove them completely from the site, we consider the overall content of the posting, including photos, pictorials, and text.
12ShowU.Net does not permit the sale of SM products. Novelty sexually explicit items, including various types of toys, collectibles, or food items in the shape of genitalia and primarily intended for adult buyers are permitted in the appropriate category.
Police-Related Items
Legally, you may not list law enforcement badges or official law enforcement equipment from any public entity, including badges issued by the government of any country.
The majority of international law enforcement organizations maintain the position that the sale of police-related items to the public causes concern that individuals may use a badge or other police-related item to misrepresent themselves as a law enforcement officer to the public.
You may list a law enforcement badge on 12ShowU.Net if:
- The law enforcement organization that issues the badge states in writing that it does not object to the sale of the item.
- You post a copy of that letter with a valid law enforcement contact (name and phone number) on the site with the badge.
There are some limited police items that may be listed on our site, provided they observe any noted guidelines.
Authorized general souvenir items, such as hats, mugs, pins, pens, buttons, cuff links, T-shirts, money clips that do not resemble badges, and paperweights that do not contain badges
Badges that are clearly not official (e.g., plastic or cartoon badges)
Historical badges that do not resemble modern law enforcement badges, provided that the item description must clearly state that the badge is a historical piece at least 75 years old or issued by a now-defunct organization
Mini-badges (size approximately 1 inch by 1 inch)
Police uniforms: Uniforms must be obsolete and in no way resemble current issue police uniforms. This fact must be clearly stated within the posting description.
