Sanctions Policy – 4D Shops of Imagination
Welcome to the 4D Shops of Imagination—a magical place where creators and buyers from around the world come together! While we love bringing everyone’s creativity to life, there are some important rules we must follow to keep our marketplace safe and fair. Let’s talk about it in a simple and friendly way.
Global Rules We Follow
As a global marketplace, we have to follow special rules (called sanctions and trade restrictions) to make sure we don’t accidentally involve anyone or anything that shouldn’t be part of our marketplace. These rules come from organizations like the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S.
These rules may sound a bit complicated, but they’re all about keeping things fair, safe, and respectful. Everyone in the 4D community needs to follow these rules, no matter where they are.
Places and Items That Are Restricted
We can’t do business with certain places or people named in the rules. This might include certain countries or specific kinds of goods. For example:
- Some geographic areas (like Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and a few others).
- Certain people or organizations listed by international authorities.
- Items made in certain areas or using unfair practices, like forced labor.
We also aren’t allowed to help with the buying or selling of restricted items, like luxury goods to certain regions or some products from Russia or Belarus.
How We Make Sure the Rules Are Followed
To keep things running smoothly:
- We might block accounts or listings if they don’t follow these rules.
- We may ask sellers to share extra info about an item’s origins.
- If we find out someone is breaking the rules, we may need to pause or cancel their shop activities.
Important Extras
Keep in mind that some payment systems, like PayPal, might also check transactions for rule-breaking, and we don’t control their decisions. Also, these rules can change over time, so it’s good to stay informed.
For specific legal advice, you might want to talk to someone qualified in this area. We aim to keep our marketplace magical and creative, so thank you for understanding these important guidelines!
