If the member doesn’t take these actions within the requested frame of time, their item remains hidden.
● If a reported listing includes a forbidden item, we remove the listing from the member’s wardrobe and we send them a message informing about the reason for such removal.
● If a member uploads forbidden items (i.e. items which fall within a prohibited items list as described above, items of commercial nature and all other items which breach our T&C and/or catalogue rules) repeatedly, we can suspend their account (e.g. for a period of 7 days) or even block it permanently depending on the cases, and we send a message to the member informing them about it.
Our team reserves the right to change the above-stated rules as needed. If you have any questions regarding the above-stated rules – contact us and we’ll be happy to assist you.
