Creator Guidelines

By operating a storefront on Protocat, you agree to follow these standards in addition to our Terms of Service.

Last updated: May 2, 2026

1. Honest listings

Describe products accurately, including materials, sizing, lead times, and shipping regions. Do not mislead buyers with fake reviews, stock levels, or discounts.

2. Fulfillment & communication

Respond to enquiries in a timely, professional manner. Honor agreed prices and delivery expectations. If you cannot fulfill an order, communicate clearly and refund or resolve according to your stated policies and applicable law.

3. Prohibited items

Do not list illegal, unsafe, or stolen goods; items that infringe intellectual property; or services that facilitate fraud, harassment, or harm. We may remove listings or suspend shops that violate this rule.

4. Respect & safety

Treat buyers and other community members with respect. Do not use Protocat to spam, discriminate unlawfully, or collect personal data beyond what you need to complete a sale.

5. Payments

Where Protocat does not process payments, you are responsible for compliant payment collection and record keeping. Follow local tax and consumer regulations.

6. Enforcement

We may warn, restrict visibility, or remove accounts that breach these guidelines or the Terms of Service. Serious or repeated violations may result in permanent suspension.
