Prohibited and restricted purchases

The following baseline applies in every country, even where a particular item might otherwise be lawful:

• Firearms, ammunition, explosives, weapons and products primarily designed to injure or incapacitate.
• Illicit drugs, drug-manufacturing or drug-use equipment, and unlawful controlled substances.
• Stolen, counterfeit, pirated or illegally traded goods; forged documents and stolen credentials.
• Human exploitation, trafficking, sexual exploitation, criminal violence and malicious cyber services.
• Human organs or body parts, prohibited hazardous materials, illegal wildlife products, and goods subject to a product ban or recall.
• Any other product or service that is unlawful in a relevant country or route.

Age-restricted goods, medicines and medical devices, financial products, gambling, animals, hazardous chemicals and other regulated categories are not admitted to the marketplace through the open Bounty form. A request may be held privately for review, but a restricted category can operate only after BountyHunt approves the exact country, category and service region, including its legal, licensing, merchant, payment and support controls.

• Bounty details are screened on the server before they can enter the marketplace.
• A prohibited request is rejected and is not sent to businesses.
• An uncertain or unapproved request must remain private until an authorised person resolves it.
• Editing, inviting businesses, publishing offers, releasing contact details, recording purchase completion, approving a Reward and submitting its cashback refund must each re-check the current policy state.

BountyHunt may block a request, preserve a limited safety record, restrict an account, or report information where the law requires it. A customer can ask support to review a mistaken decision. We may give a useful reason without revealing detection methods that would help someone evade the controls.

This policy is a platform rule, not a statement that an unlisted purchase is lawful. Buyers and businesses remain responsible for applicable law, licences, import and export rules, sanctions, product-safety requirements and their own contracts. Live availability is activated market by market; a global BountyHunt front door does not mean every category is available everywhere.
