Acceptable Use Policy

_Last updated: 2026_

This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") governs what you may buy, sell, and do on Cinderella. It supplements our Terms of Service and Seller Agreement. By using Cinderella you agree to follow it. We may update it as the marketplace grows.

1. You must have the right to sell what you list

You may only list code, ideas, or assets that you own or are authorized to sell. That means:

• You wrote it, or you hold a license that permits resale/transfer.
• You are not violating an employer agreement, contractor agreement, NDA, or

open-source license by selling it.

• You are transferring rights you actually hold, on the terms stated in the

listing (full, exclusive, or non-exclusive).

Misrepresenting ownership or the rights conveyed is grounds for immediate removal and account termination.

2. Prohibited content

Do not upload, list, or transmit anything that:

• Contains live secrets or personal data you haven't cleared — API keys,

credentials, tokens, customer data, or PII. Our scrubber is a safety net, not a license to be careless.

• Is malware or intentionally harmful — viruses, backdoors, spyware,

crypto-miners, credential stealers, or code designed to damage or gain unauthorized access to systems.

• Infringes intellectual property — stolen code, pirated software, or

content that violates someone else's copyright, trademark, or patent.

• Is illegal or facilitates illegal activity, fraud, or the circumvention

of security or access controls.

• Is sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, or violent.
• Deceives buyers — fake metrics, fabricated readiness, plagiarized

descriptions, or listings that misrepresent what's being sold.

3. Prohibited conduct

Do not:

• Scrape, resell, or bulk-download the marketplace or its listings.
• Circumvent fees by moving a Cinderella-originated deal off-platform to avoid

commission.

• Manipulate reviews, offers, or reputation (self-dealing, fake accounts, review

trading).

• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems without permission, or

breach any security or authentication measures.

• Abuse, threaten, or harass other users, or impersonate anyone.
• Use the platform to spam or send unsolicited marketing.

4. Buyers

Buying a listing transfers the rights described in that listing — nothing more. You are responsible for your own due diligence, for reviewing the scrub report, and for using purchased code lawfully. Reselling a non-exclusive purchase as if it were exclusive is a violation of this Policy.

5. Reporting

If you see a listing that violates this Policy — stolen code, leaked secrets, malware, or misrepresentation — use the report link on the listing or contact us via support. Copyright complaints are handled under our Takedown Policy.

6. Enforcement

We may remove content, freeze escrow, withhold payouts, and suspend or terminate accounts for violations, with or without notice depending on severity. Serious violations (fraud, malware, IP theft) may be reported to the relevant authorities and rights holders.
