This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to every customer of Checkout Page Technologies, Inc. (“Checkout Page”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By using the Checkout Page platform you agree to comply with:

1. this AUP;

2. all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction where you operate or serve customers; and

3. the acceptable-use and compliance policies of every payment processor you connect to your Checkout Page account (“payment partners”).

Failure to follow any of the above can result in transaction holds, account suspension, or termination without notice.

You may not use Checkout Page for any activity that:

1. Violates law or facilitates harm – selling illegal goods, promoting violence or discrimination, fraud, money-laundering, or terrorist financing.

• pornography, prostitution, sexually oriented dating services;
• gambling, lotteries, sweepstakes with a material prize;
• pyramid or “get rich quick” schemes;
• stolen or hacked digital items.

4. Involves sanctioned persons or jurisdictions – any dealings with Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, or individuals on U.S./U.K./E.U./U.N. sanctions lists.
