Allowed Items
Only used electronics are allowed to be listed for sale on our platform. Any items that do not fall within this category are not permitted and may result in consequences such as termination or suspension of your access to our platform.

Listing Accuracy and Returns
When listing an item for sale on the GizmoGrind Marketplace, it is the responsibility of the seller to ensure that the item is accurately described and in the condition stated during the listing process. If an item is found to be in a lower condition or not as advertised, the buyer is responsible for return shipping with a valid tracking number. The seller is required to provide a full refund upon receipt of the return. It is important that sellers correctly select the condition that corresponds to their used device to avoid permanent removal from the platform.

Pre-approval Requirements for Listings
All market listings require pre-approval before the listing is live. Our team will:

a) Check for a photo with a provided code visible to verify photo authenticity.
b) Review the user's account for any previous suspicious activity or violations.
c) Verify the IMEI, where applicable, to ensure non-blacklisted phones are listed.
d) Assess the model and condition based on provided photos to ensure they match the seller's claimed model and condition.

Third-Party Engagement
We provide various channels for third parties to report potential AUP violations or concerns, such as:

a) A dedicated email address or contact form for reporting problematic content or activity.
b) A separate channel for rights owners to report alleged intellectual property rights concerns.
c) A direct line of communication for law enforcement officials or regulators to engage with our team.

AUP Enforcement
To ensure effective enforcement of our AUP, we implement the following measures:

a) Pre-screening measures for customers before allowing their products/services on our platform.

c) Clearly outlining the consequences of non-adherence to the AUP in our terms of service, including warnings, temporary or permanent suspension, and potential legal action.
d) Employing staff dedicated to enforcing the AUP, including pre-screening, continuous monitoring, and addressing third-party reports.
