Trepup Prohibited Listings Policy
Effective: 27 January 2025
Enforcing standards, upholding integrity
At Trepup, trust, integrity, and accountability shape every interaction across our store‑embedded, socially powered ecosystem. Our goal is to foster a responsible, inclusive, and compliant environment where users can engage confidently — whether listing products, offering services, or sharing content through stores, posts, or stories.
This Trepup Prohibited Listings Policy ("prohibited listings policy") defines clear boundaries on what can and cannot be listed — ensuring alignment with global legal standards, international trade norms, and ethical principles across every country and territory we serve. By following this prohibited listings policy, users help maintain a secure, transparent, and accountable store‑level marketplace — one that encourages innovation while protecting platform integrity.
This prohibited listings policy applies to all Trepup users — including individuals, store owners, affiliates, and third‑party representatives — and governs all listing behavior across store surfaces, social content placements, and service pages made available through the platform. It works in harmony with the Trepup Terms of Service ("terms of service") and Trepup Legal Policies ("legal policies"), creating a cohesive framework for responsible commerce and connection.
library_booksProhibited categories
At Trepup, we uphold a platform where commerce meets community — a space for ethical exchange, creative freedom, and shared trust. To ensure all listings reflect these values, we prohibit products, services, and content that compromise safety, legality, or platform integrity — whether offered through stores, surfaced in posts or stories, or shared via social interactions.
These standards apply to all listings — including products, services, and promotional content — across every store, social surface, and integrated marketplace experience within the platform. Upholding them ensures Trepup remains a globally compliant, inclusive, and forward‑thinking ecosystem for responsible commerce and creative connection.
Adult content
We are committed to maintaining a platform where all individuals can engage without encountering harmful, explicit, or exploitative content — across stores, posts, stories, or other social surfaces. We prohibit:
- Sexually explicit material, including pornography, which undermines our commitment to professionalism, safety, and respect.
- Sexual services or escort offers, including listings or promotional content that depict or facilitate adult service transactions, as these are incompatible with our global safety standards and the social‑powered nature of our platform.
- Adult products and accessories, unless they comply with all applicable legal, cultural, and ethical standards for responsible distribution — and do not conflict with Trepup's commitment to a respectful, inclusive environment. Even where local standards permit, Trepup may impose platform‑wide restrictions to ensure user safety and brand consistency across all territories.
- Content depicting minors in harmful or inappropriate contexts, in alignment with our obligation to protect individuals — especially minors — from exploitation or endangerment.
- Any material that enables or promotes sexual exploitation, including trafficking or abusive behavior, regardless of format or intent.
Drugs and substances
We uphold strict legal compliance and promote user well‑being, fostering a responsible environment where health and safety come first — whether through stores, social posts, or service offerings. We prohibit:
- Controlled substances, including narcotics, opioids, and any substances banned or restricted under international law or relevant national regulations.
- Tobacco and alcohol‑related products, including vape items and alcoholic beverages, due to their health risks and inconsistency with Trepup's ethical and community‑focused standards.
- Drug paraphernalia, such as bongs, pipes, or materials used in the production or consumption of illegal drugs, as these compromise the platform's safety and legality.
- Service offerings or content that promote or facilitate the use, sale, or distribution of restricted substances — including under the guise of wellness or therapeutic practices.
These restrictions apply globally across all surfaces and services within the platform. Where local laws are more permissive, Trepup maintains a platform‑wide baseline of compliance to ensure a safe and trustworthy experience for all. Even where local laws permit tobacco or alcohol sales, Trepup may restrict such listings to uphold health and ethical standards.
Weapons
We place high importance on security, peace, and respect. To uphold this, we prohibit the listing, promotion, or social amplification of:
- Firearms, ammunition, explosives, or any items that pose inherent danger to individuals or communities — whether as products, services, or promotional content.
- Weapons designed to harm, including melee weapons, chemical agents, or stun guns, as they undermine Trepup's commitment to constructive, peaceful participation.
- Military‑grade or tactical gear, such as body armor, night‑vision equipment, or weapon schematics, which are incompatible with an inclusive ecosystem that prioritizes trust and responsible commerce.
Gambling and chance mechanics
To preserve fairness, transparency, and user protection across a global, socially powered ecosystem, we prohibit the listing, promotion, or amplification of:
- Chance‑based contests, such as raffles, lotteries, or sweepstakes — including promotional offers — that may violate global regulations or undermine equal access and trust across the platform.
- Gambling machines or devices, including slot machines, betting terminals, or games of chance that detract from the platform's creative, entrepreneurial intent.
- Contests or services involving gambling mechanics, where outcomes are influenced by chance rather than skill — including paid entry formats — as these introduce legal risks and conflict with Trepup's commitment to fairness and responsible engagement.
Metaphysical claims
Trepup encourages the exchange of ideas, insights, and services rooted in authenticity, responsibility, and constructive contribution. To protect users from deceptive or misleading practices, we prohibit the listing, promotion, or amplification of:
- Metaphysical services that rely on unverifiable or belief‑based systems — including psychic readings, tarot card predictions, energy alignments, or spell‑casting — as these may exploit vulnerable users or misrepresent service outcomes.
- Claims involving supernatural entities, including offers to sell ghosts, souls, or spirits, which can mislead or cause psychological harm.
- Items promoted as cursed, haunted, or imbued with supernatural forces, which detract from Trepup's commitment to ethical commerce and evidence‑informed creativity.
Harmful and deceptive content
Trepup is committed to fostering a space built on respect, trust, and shared values — across every store, post, story, and social interaction. To protect the integrity of our community, we take clear, consistent action against:
- Hate speech or any content that promotes violence, discrimination, or harmful ideologies based on identity, including race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
- Content that incites harm or exploitation, including human trafficking, child abuse, violent extremism, or coordinated harassment.
- Deceptive practices — including fraud, misinformation, impersonation, and scams — that compromise safety, mislead users, or undermine trust in Trepup's socially powered commerce ecosystem.

Respect for community values
We maintain a platform rooted in respect, responsibility, and inclusion. Any listing or interaction that violates these values — whether involving products, services, or content — will be removed. We ask all users to support these standards, helping Trepup remain a safe, ethical, and socially powered space where collaboration and commerce can thrive.
