4. Marketplace Conduct

4.1 Seller Obligations

Sellers participating in the SpecimenOS Marketplace must not:

List fraudulent, plagiarized, or otherwise deceptive SOPs, protocols, or cultivation materials.
Misrepresent the contents, expected results, species compatibility, difficulty level, or any other material aspect of a listed protocol.
Manipulate reviews, ratings, or feedback through fake accounts, paid reviews, review exchanges, or any other deceptive means.

5. Cultivation Compliance

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that all cultivation activities recorded, managed, or tracked through the Service comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, laws governing controlled substances, agricultural chemicals, plant quarantine, phytosanitary requirements, and environmental protection.

The Service is a recordkeeping and operational management tool. It does not validate, verify, or assess the legality of any cultivation operation, species selection, or growing practice. The presence of any feature, field, or workflow within the Service does not constitute approval or endorsement of any particular cultivation activity.

You must not use the Service to facilitate, organize, document, or otherwise support any cultivation activity that is illegal in your jurisdiction.

Cannomic reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to take any of the following actions in response to violations of this Policy:

Issue warnings to Users who have committed minor or first-time violations.
Suspend accounts temporarily while an investigation is conducted or to prevent ongoing harm.
Terminate accounts permanently for severe or repeated violations.
Remove content that violates this Policy, without prior notice.
Report violations to law enforcement authorities when Cannomic believes, in good faith, that a violation involves illegal activity.

Cannomic investigates reported violations in good faith and endeavors to respond in a timely manner. However, Cannomic is not obligated to actively monitor all user activity on the Service and does not guarantee that all violations will be detected or addressed.
