Acceptable Use Policy
This policy applies to every merchant storefront, product, design, show listing, and message sent through SeatMerch. Last updated November 1, 2026.
Draft — subject to change. This policy is still being finalized and may be revised or replaced. It is provided for reference only and is not the final, binding version.
- Content that infringes copyright, trademark, or publicity rights (see the IP Policy).
- Hate speech or imagery attacking people based on race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- Threats, harassment, incitement to violence, or glorification of mass violence.
- Sexually explicit material, and any sexualized depiction of minors.
- Content promoting illegal drugs, weapons, or regulated goods.
- Deceptive claims, impersonation of another artist, venue, or brand, or artwork designed to pass as an official product.
- Malware, phishing links, or scam offers in storefront copy or fan emails.
Our print partners apply their own content standards and may refuse a job. If a partner rejects a design, the listing is disabled and the merchant is notified. Repeated rejections may lead to storefront suspension.
- Fan contact data collected through SeatMerch may be used only for that merchant's own show, drop, and release announcements.
- Do not sell, rent, or transfer fan data to third parties.
- Honor unsubscribe requests; suppression is enforced platform-wide.
- Do not upload purchased or scraped contact lists.
- No self-purchasing or fake orders to inflate rankings or trigger payouts.
- No fraudulent chargebacks, payment testing, or laundering of funds.
- No scraping, automated bulk access, or attempts to bypass access controls.
- No sharing of merchant dashboard credentials with people outside your act or venue.
Depending on severity, we may remove a design, unpublish a storefront, hold settlements, suspend the merchant account, or terminate it. Serious or repeated violations result in termination without notice. Anyone can report a violation using the takedown & report form.
