1. GENERAL PROHIBITIONS:
1.1 You may not post or sell any item that is restricted or prohibited by federal, state, or local law in any country or jurisdiction. Please be aware that the www.siraaf.com website functions as a global marketplace, thus the selling or posting of items may be prohibited because of laws outside of the jurisdiction where you reside. Below, we have listed some categories of prohibited or restricted items. However, this list is not exhaustive; you, as the seller, are responsible for ensuring that you are not posting an item that is prohibited by law in any jurisdiction.
1.2 siraaf.com has chosen to also prohibit the posting of other categories of items that may not be restricted or prohibited by law but are nonetheless controversial including:
(a) Items that encourage illegal activities;
(b) Items that are racially, religiously, or ethnically derogatory, or that promote hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance;
(c) Giveaways, lotteries, raffles, or contests;
(d) Stocks, bonds, investment interests, and other securities;
(e) Pornographic materials or items that are sexual in nature;
(f) Items that do not offer a product or service for sale, such as advertisements solely for the purpose of collecting user information.
1.3 siraaf.com, in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to impose additional restrictions and prohibitions.

Some items, such as airline tickets, have terms printed on the item that may limit your ability to sell that item. In other cases, such as when you are distributing a company’s products, you may have signed a separate contract restricting your ability to market the product.
4.2 siraaf.com does not search for items that may raise these types of issues, nor can it review copies of private contracts, or adjudicate or take sides in private contract disputes.
