Prohibited Items Policy

Syfted is a curated multi-brand fashion marketplace. All brands approved to sell on Syfted agree to our Brand & Seller Agreement, which includes obligations around product quality, authenticity, safety, and regulatory compliance. This Prohibited Items Policy specifies the categories of products that brands may not list on the Platform under any circumstances.

Syfted reserves the right to remove any listing that violates this policy, without notice, and to suspend or terminate the brand account responsible. The categories below are not exhaustive — Syfted may prohibit additional items at its sole discretion.

1. Counterfeit and Infringing Products

Brands may not list:

• Counterfeit goods — products that copy or imitate the trademark, trade dress, or branding of another brand without authorization, including fake designer labels, replicas, and knockoffs.
• Products that infringe any third-party copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right — including unauthorized use of licensed characters, sports team logos, band names, or artist imagery on apparel or accessories.
• Products sold under a brand name or using imagery that the seller does not own or have a valid license to use.

2. Recalled and Unsafe Products

Brands may not list:

• Any product subject to an active recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or any other applicable regulatory authority.
• Products that fail to meet applicable federal or state consumer product safety standards, including the flammability standard for clothing textiles (16 CFR Part 1610) and other CPSC-regulated product categories.
• Products that contain materials known to be hazardous to health and banned or restricted under applicable law (such as jewelry over California’s lead limits, Health and Safety Code §25214.2).
• Products with defects or manufacturing flaws that create an unreasonable risk of injury.
• Any product designed or intended primarily for children 12 or younger, even if it meets the safety standards above, including children’s sleepwear, and children’s upper outerwear in sizes 2T to 16. Syfted does not accept children’s products at this time.

3. Mislabeled and Misrepresented Products

Brands may not list:

• Products with inaccurate, false, or materially misleading descriptions, images, or product titles.
• Apparel and textile products that do not comply with the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act or the Wool Products Labeling Act — including products missing required fiber content labels.
• Products that falsely claim to be made in the USA, handmade, sustainable, organic, or any other attribute that the product does not genuinely possess.
• Products listed at prices that are artificially inflated to create a false sense of discount.

4. Illegal and Regulated Items

Brands may not list:

• Any item whose sale, distribution, or importation is prohibited or restricted under applicable U.S. federal or state law.
• Products manufactured using forced, child, or otherwise illegal labor in violation of applicable law.
• Products subject to U.S. export control restrictions or sanctions that cannot lawfully be sold domestically to sanctioned parties.
• Items imported in violation of U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations or that infringe trade restrictions on goods from embargoed countries.

5. Hazardous Materials

Brands may not list:

• Products containing hazardous substances that cannot be legally shipped via standard carrier networks.
• Any product that requires a California Proposition 65 warning. Syfted cannot currently show one before purchase, as California requires for online sales.
• Textile articles, including clothing, that contain intentionally added PFAS or PFAS above the limits set by California Health and Safety Code §108970 and similar state laws, and outdoor apparel for severe wet conditions that must carry a “Made with PFAS chemicals” disclosure.

6. Weapons and Dangerous Items

Syfted is a fashion marketplace. Brands may not list weapons, firearm accessories, ammunition, knives intended as weapons, or any item whose primary purpose is to cause harm. This restriction applies regardless of whether the item is legal to sell in the seller’s jurisdiction.

7. Adult and Obscene Content

Brands may not list:

• Sexually explicit or obscene products or products displaying sexually explicit imagery.
• Products depicting or promoting hate, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.
• Products targeting or designed for use by minors that contain adult content.

8. Stolen and Misappropriated Goods

Brands may not list items that are stolen, misappropriated, or acquired through fraudulent means. Syfted cooperates with law enforcement in investigations involving stolen goods sold through the Platform.

8A. Fur and Protected Animals

Brands may not list:

• Products made in whole or in part of real animal fur. Leather, cowhide and shearling are permitted.
• Products containing parts of any animal that is protected or restricted under federal or California law, including the Endangered Species Act, the Lacey Act, Penal Code §653o (for example python and kangaroo leather) and Fish and Game Code §2022 (ivory).

9. Items Outside Syfted’s Category Scope

Syfted is a clothing and fashion accessories marketplace. Brands may only list items that fall within Syfted’s approved product categories, which currently include apparel, footwear, bags, jewelry, and fashion accessories. The following are not permitted regardless of legality:

• Food, beverages, or consumables
• Electronics or technology products
• Digital goods or downloadable content
• Services or subscriptions
• Pharmaceuticals, supplements, or personal care products not directly related to fashion
• Furniture, home goods, or non-wearable lifestyle products

Syfted may update the list of approved categories over time. Brands will be notified of category changes that affect their existing listings.
