# Prohibited Items Policy

Everything sold on Tilt must be genuine, accurately described and legal in the country you sell from.

#### Not allowed: trading cards and sealed product

* Fake cards: proxies, unofficial reprints, fan-made cards, or anything sold as an official print when it isn't.
* Fake slabs: graded cards in fake grading cases.
* Altered cards: trimmed, recoloured, restored or otherwise modified cards, unless this is clearly stated in the listing.
* Tampered sealed product: resealed packs or boxes, and products that have been searched, weighed or otherwise tampered with.

#### Not allowed: everything else

* Counterfeit and replica items: anything that copies a brand's product or design without permission, including replica football shirts and designer goods.
* Infringing designs: unauthorised use of protected logos, patterns or trademarks.
* Illegal items: anything banned or restricted by law, such as items made from prohibited animal materials.
* Deposit listings: listings that ask for a deposit or pre-payment instead of the full price.

#### Describing your items

* Describe every item accurately. For cards, that means the set, edition, language, condition and grade. For other items, the brand, condition and materials.
* Use clear photos of the actual item. Stock photos aren't allowed unless the brand has given permission.
* Don't use words like "inspired by", "replica" or "fake", or brand names in a way that suggests a connection that doesn't exist.

#### Jewellery and watches

* Allowed: fashion jewellery, fine and luxury jewellery, sterling silver, plated items, and fashion and luxury watches.
* For precious metals, gemstones and luxury brands, you must provide proof of authenticity (certificates, hallmarks, receipts or appraisals) when asked.
* Always state the materials, such as solid gold, sterling silver or plated, and whether the stones are genuine or imitation.

#### Proof of authenticity

We may ask you to prove an item is genuine, especially for high-value cards, luxury brands and other high-risk items. Proof can include receipts, proof of purchase or grading certificates.

#### What happens if you break this policy

* The listing is removed straight away.
* Your account may be suspended, and serious cases may be referred to the authorities.
* Repeated violations lead to a permanent ban.
