As a global company based in the UK with operations in other countries, Osbisy must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions. This means that Osbisy or anyone using our Services can’t take part in transactions that involve designated people, places, or items that originate from those places, as determined by UK sanctions made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018.

This policy applies to anyone that uses our Services, regardless of their location. It is up to you to familiarise yourself with these restrictions.

For example, these restrictions generally prohibit, but are not limited to, transactions involving:

1. 1. Individuals or entities identified on sanctions lists such as the UK Sanctions List.
2. 2. Items originating from areas including Cuba, North Korea, Iran, or Crimea, with the exception of informational materials such as publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, tapes, compact disks, and certain artworks.

In order to protect our community and marketplace, Osbisy takes steps to ensure compliance with sanctions programmes. For example, Osbisy prohibits members from using their accounts while in certain geographic locations. If we have reason to believe you are operating your account from a sanctioned location, such as any of the places listed above, or are otherwise in violation of any economic sanction or trade restriction, we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services. Members are generally not permitted to list, buy, or sell items that originate from sanctioned areas. This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location. Osbisy 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. We may disable listings or cancel transactions that present a risk of violating this policy.

In addition to complying with The UK Sanctions list and applicable local laws, Osbisy members should be aware that other countries may have their own trade restrictions and that certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws. You should consult the laws of any jurisdiction when a transaction involves international parties.

Finally, Osbisy members should be aware that third-party payment processors, such as PayPal and Stripe, may independently monitor transactions for sanctions compliance and may block transactions as part of their own compliance programmes. Osbisy has no authority or control over the independent decision-making of these providers.

The economic sanctions and trade restrictions that apply to your use of the Services are subject to change, so members should check sanctions resources regularly. For legal advice, please consult a qualified professional.
