XVII. SELLER POLICY

  1. Marketing and Advertising

My Precious World offers sellers multiple advertising channels to promote their listings or shops. This Marketing and advertising policy explains your rights and responsibilities when using our advertising services.

  • – Paid Advertising

Sellers are able to buy paid advertising using our advert dashboard. This could either be through Display Adverts, Promoted listings i.e. advertising on My Precious World itself and/or through Google ads or other third parties.

Promoted Listings display a seller’s items or shop prominently on My Precious World’s website. There are some major determinants of the location in which your item may appear. These are: relevancy to an item search by a user, quality of listing (including compliance with My Precious World’s policies), the amount bid to display the listing, and for some listings, likelihood of sale. You may choose to promote some or all of your listings or shops as Promoted Listings.

Google Shopping ads display a seller’s listings directly in Google search results and through the Google Shopping service based on search relevancy, listing quality (including compliance with My Precious World’s and/or Google’s policies), and the amount bid to display the listing. You may choose to promote some or all of your listings or shops through Google Shopping ads. By participating in paid advertising on My Precious World that includes Google Shopping ads, you agree to comply with Google’s policies, including Google Shopping policies and Google Advertising Programme Terms. Violation of these policies may result in the suspension or termination of your Google Shopping campaign and/or action by My Precious World on your account for violation of My Precious World’s Terms.

My Precious World may, and you give My Precious World permission to, automate parts or all of an advertising service provided, including combining bids across listings, geographical regions, keywords, ad formats, verticals, and on and off-My Precious World marketing channels and platforms. You give My Precious World permission to do so, with notice from My Precious World, even if those features or options replace the parameters and options you set for the particular advertising service.

In the event My Precious World begins, ends or modifies an advertising service, you give My Precious World permission to transfer your bids, budgets, and campaigns to that new program, to the extent transferable for the defaults and features of the new or modified advertising service. My Precious World will provide notice in the event of any such transfer.

You may be given the opportunity to participate in beta tests of advertising services offered by My Precious World and/or third party channels. Those beta services are subject to separate terms for a particular program provided to you as part of your participation in that program, as well as this policy and the overall My Precious World Terms.

  • About Google Shopping

My Precious World’s paid advertising services available from your My Precious World account may include Google Shopping ads. Google’s advertising system uses an auction to determine cost and placement of ads, so the cost may vary based on time of day, demand, and availability.

For Google Shopping ads purchased as part of paid advertising, you must enter an average daily budget, which must be set at or above a predetermined minimum set by Google or My Precious World, and set in GBP or USD. This average budget may be for one or more forms of paid advertising, depending on advertising services provided. Please note that Google manages campaigns to optimize results on a monthly rather than a daily basis. That means for paid advertising that includes Google Shopping ads, your average daily budget may be exceeded by up to 100% on any given day. However, if you maintain the same average daily budget for a month, you won’t be charged more than your average daily budget multiplied by the average number of days in a month (30.4). Click here to read more about Google Shopping ad pricing.

By purchasing paid advertising that includes Google Shopping ads, you will be automatically opted out of My Precious World’s separate and free Google Shopping Engine Ads if available to you.

Your listings or shops may also be included, at My Precious World’s sole discretion, in other marketing and third party advertising programs. For example, My Precious World may include your listings or shops in programs such as My Precious World’s Shopping Engine Ads, Facebook Shopping, Instagram Shopping on multiple platforms.

  • Shopping Engine Ads

Shopping Engine Ads is only available to Premium account subscribers, My Precious World may promote your listings or shops on third-party shopping engines in our sole discretion. If you are eligible for, and are included in, the Shopping Engine Ads program, you may opt out at any time by sending an email to orders@mypreciousworldfamily.com. If you purchase Google Shopping ads, you’ll be automatically opted out of My Precious World’s free Google Shopping Engine ads. However, if you pause or end your paid campaign, you’ll be automatically re-enrolled into Google Shopping Engine Ads, contingent on program availability for your account.

My Precious World’s network of participating shopping engines may change at any time. My Precious World currently syndicates listings to a variety of channels, such as:

  • – Google Shopping
  • – Bing
  • – Facebook
  • – Instagram
  • – Pinterest

Participation in the Shopping Engine Ads is currently available for Premium Product, Enhanced Vendor and Premium Vendor subscribers. That means that while shopping engines do charge a fee to list products, My Precious World is currently paying these fees as part of your subscription plan. My Precious World reserves the right to change the terms of this program at any time, including addition of fees, addition or removal of platforms, or end the program (in whole or part) at any time. We will notify you of major changes.

Shopping Engine Ads are subject to the terms and policies set forth by each participating shopping engine, which may be different from My Precious World’s. You are responsible for complying with the terms and policies of the participating third party sites. By failing to do so, your Shopping Engine Ad may be removed, and you may be prohibited from participating in the Shopping Engine Ad programme, or My Precious World may take appropriate action against your account under My Precious World’s Terms.

  • – Shop-Specific Promotions

     

    • – Sales and Coupons

Sellers on My Precious World may choose to offer promotions specifically for their own shops and/or items. My Precious World currently offers two promotional tools: Sales and Coupons.

A Sale is a promotion that offers free shipping or discounts your listing price(s) by a percentage. You can run a sale on a single listing or on multiple listings.

Sellers are responsible for following My Precious World’s policies and all applicable laws associated with Sales and Coupons. For Sales, it’s your responsibility to set the terms and conditions for the promotion in your terms and conditions section. For Coupons, it’s your responsibility to communicate any terms or limitations for the promotion to buyers when sharing the Coupon code. Sales and Coupons may not be used for fee avoidance.

  • – Targeted Offers

The following types of items are prohibited or restricted on My Precious World:

  • Hate Items: Items that Promote, Support, or Glorify Hatred

My Precious World does not allow items or listings that promote, support or glorify hatred towards people or otherwise demean people based upon: race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation (collectively, “protected groups”). We also prohibit items or content that promote organizations or people with such views.

  • Illegal Items, Items Promoting Illegal Activity, and Highly Regulated Items

Illegal items, items that promote illegal activity, and stolen items are not allowed on My Precious World. Neither are certain items that are subject to complex legal regulations or registration systems. Because My Precious World will be a global Company, it’s important to abide by the laws of the markets in which you are selling. What is legal in one country may be illegal in another. All forms of illegal activity are strictly prohibited. Listings may not facilitate or promote illegal acts.

  • Counterfeit or unauthorized items are prohibited on My Precious World. We consider counterfeit or unauthorized goods to be items that imitate an authentic good, particularly by using a brand’s name, logo, or protected design without the brand owner’s consent. Examples of prohibited counterfeit or unauthorized goods include replica luxury bags and branded apparel. If any one sees this listed on our site, kindly use the ‘Report Abuse’ functionality on the relevant product listing page to report any counterfeits.

We require sellers to follow all applicable laws for the items they list.

  • Internationally Regulated Items

When buying and selling internationally, you should comply with your local laws and be aware that other countries may have their own restrictions. You might be prohibited from exporting or importing certain items under international laws and regulations. Some transactions may require licenses, permits, or other documentation. If you have questions about how to comply with the law, we recommend that you speak to a qualified professional.

When you use My Precious World’s services, you are also responsible for complying with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including those implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the US Department of the Treasury. All My Precious World members must comply with our Sanctions Policy, regardless of their location.

My Precious World reserves the right to request that sellers provide additional information, disclose an item’s country of origin in a listing, or take other steps to meet compliance obligations.

You should be aware that third-party payment processors may independently monitor transactions for sanctions compliance and may block some transactions as part of their own compliance programmes. My Precious World has no authority or control over the independent decision-making of these providers.

  • Pornography and Mature Content

Pornography of any sort is prohibited on My Precious World, whereas mature content is restricted. Although pornography can be difficult to define, an item generally qualifies as pornography when it contains extreme or explicit version of sexual content.

We define mature content as depictions of human genitalia, sexual activity or content, profane language, sexual wellness items, violent images, and explicit types or representations of taxidermy.

Not all nudity is considered mature, and examples are listed below. If you find yourself questioning whether your item is mature, then it is likely a good idea to assume that it is mature content, and you should label it as such.

When deciding whether mature content crosses over the threshold into pornography, we take into consideration the explicitness of depictions of sexual activity or content.

Examples of What is Allowed Without Restriction:

  • Non-pornographic nude photography and depictions of breasts
  • Non-pornographic depictions of buttocks
  • Abstracted or cartoonish depictions, within reason
  • Violent Items: Items that Promote, Support, or Glorify Violence

We do not allow items or listings that promote, support or glorify acts of violence or harm towards self or others, including credible threats of harm.

The following items are not allowed on My Precious World:

  • Items that glorify human suffering or tragedies, including items that commemorate or honor serial killers
  • Items that attempt to exploit natural disasters or human tragedies
  • Items that encourage, glorify, or celebrate acts of violence against individuals or groups
  • Items that encourage self-mutilation, starvation or other self-harm
