PROHIBITED & RESTRICTED ITEMS POLICY

Effective Date: September 13, 2026
Last Updated: September 13, 2026

This Prohibited & Restricted Items Policy establishes the categories of products, content, and transactions that are prohibited or restricted within DOSHE, the creative commerce ecosystem operated by Doshe LLC.

This Policy forms part of the DOSHE Terms of Service and Seller Policy.

Operator: Doshe LLC
United States

Email: info@doshe.store
Website: doshe.store

DOSHE is designed for lawful, creator-led commerce.

A product’s handmade, artistic, customized, collectible, or unique nature does not make the product eligible if its sale, possession, shipment, advertising, manufacture, or distribution is unlawful, unsafe, materially deceptive, or inconsistent with DOSHE policies.

1. Purpose

This Policy exists to:

* protect buyers;
* protect creators;
* protect Doshe LLC;
* prevent unlawful commerce;
* reduce product-safety risks;
* preserve DOSHE as a creator-led ecosystem;
* comply with applicable legal and payment-provider requirements.

2. Seller Responsibility

Every seller is responsible for determining whether a product may lawfully be:

* manufactured;
* possessed;
* advertised;
* listed;
* sold;
* exported;
* imported;
* shipped;
* delivered

in every jurisdiction relevant to the transaction.

Approval, publication, or failure by DOSHE to remove a listing does not constitute legal approval of the product.

3. DOSHE May Establish Stricter Rules Than Applicable Law

DOSHE may prohibit a category even if some sales within that category could otherwise be lawful.

DOSHE is not required to support every category of lawful commerce.
