1. Permitted Use

You may use Major to sell items and services you own and have the right to offer, upload compliant content, and browse, message, and purchase from other users.

2. Prohibited Use

You may not use Major to break the law, sell prohibited items, post false or harmful content, use others' data without consent, hack or disrupt our services, harass or impersonate others, dropship items you don't own, coordinate prices, or create multiple accounts. Account sharing or transfer is also prohibited. Violations may result in suspension, listing removal, or legal action.

3. Payments and Transactions

All payments must be completed in-app through Stripe. Sellers must connect a verified Stripe account. Off-app payments (Venmo, Cash App, cash, etc.) are prohibited. Major may temporarily hold funds for fraud review. All disputes and refunds follow Stripe's policies.
