Acceptable Use Policy

You may not use PaySovra to sell, facilitate, or fund any of the following:

• Child sexual abuse material, or any sexual content involving minors.
• Transactions involving persons, entities, or jurisdictions subject to applicable sanctions (including OFAC-sanctioned parties).
• Trafficking in weapons, explosives, or controlled military goods.
• Illegal drugs or substances illegal in the jurisdiction of sale.
• Stolen goods, stolen data, or proceeds of crime, including money laundering.
• Malware, ransomware operations, or services that facilitate fraud (including phishing, fake documents, and account-takeover tooling).
• Human trafficking or sexual services involving coercion.
• Financing of terrorism or violent extremism.
• Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, or deceptive investment products.

Some categories are legal in certain jurisdictions but carry elevated platform risk. These are served under additional conditions rather than banned:

• Cannabis and cannabis products, where legal in the jurisdiction of sale.
• Gambling and games of chance, where licensed and legal.
• Adult content and services, where legal and involving only consenting adults.
• Tobacco, vaping products, and alcohol, where legally sold.

Conditions for restricted categories:

• You must accurately declare your business category during onboarding.
• A paid plan is required.
• PaySovra branding is removed from your checkout surfaces and hosted pages, and your business is excluded from any PaySovra merchant directory or marketing.
• You remain solely responsible for the legality of every sale you make.

Misrepresenting your business category — in either direction — is a violation of this policy. Declaring a standard business as restricted to obtain branding removal, or declaring a restricted business as standard to avoid the conditions above, may result in plan correction, suspension, or termination.

In addition to the category rules above, you may not:

• Probe, scan, or attack the Services, or attempt to access other merchants' data.
• Abuse address pools, rate limits, or free-tier quotas through automation.
• Resell or white-label the Services as your own platform without an Enterprise agreement.
• Use PaySovra checkout surfaces to harvest data unrelated to a genuine purchase.

We review reports, perform spot checks of hosted pages, and act on violations proportionally: warning, feature restriction, suspension, or termination. Because PaySovra is non-custodial, enforcement never touches funds you have already received. Where the law requires it, we may report activity to authorities.

To report a merchant or page that violates this policy, email abuse@paysovra.com with the page link and a short description. We review every report.
