PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
This Acceptable Use Policy sets out the rules for using 4EstateSale.com. It tells you what items you may and
may not advertise, what conduct is prohibited, what happens if you break the rules, and what rights the platform
has to remove content and terminate accounts. By using the platform, you agree to follow every rule in this
policy.
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP" or "Policy") is published by Prime Partners Group, LLC, a Florida limited

The Platform is an online advertising marketplace that enables estate sale companies, auction companies,
individual sellers, and related professionals to advertise estate sales, auctions, and liquidation events to the general
public. The Platform provides advertising space, listing tools, and audience reach — it does not participate in,
broker, guarantee, or take responsibility for the underlying sales transactions, the accuracy of listings, the quality
of items advertised, or the conduct of any User.
The purpose of this AUP is to:
- Define the standards of conduct that all Users must observe when using the Platform;
- Identify categories of items that may not be advertised on the Platform;
- Describe the Company's enforcement mechanisms and the consequences of policy violations;
- Protect the Platform, its Users, buyers who attend sales, and the general public from fraud, abuse, illegal
activity, and harmful conduct;
- Establish a framework that maximizes the Company's legal protections under applicable federal and Florida
law, including the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230), the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(17 U.S.C. §§ 512 et seq.), and applicable Florida statutes.
This AUP is designed to be comprehensive and strictly enforced. Users who violate this AUP risk immediate
removal of their content, suspension, permanent account termination, forfeiture of subscription fees, civil liability,
and referral to law enforcement. The Company takes the integrity of the Platform seriously and will not hesitate to
act against Users who endanger the Platform's community or reputation.

27.1 How to Report a Violation

The "Report This Listing" or "Contact Us" link available on each Listing page;
The Contact form at https://www.4estatesale.com, selecting "Report a Violation" as the subject;
Email communications directed to the Company's abuse or content moderation team through the Contact

To facilitate efficient investigation, reports should include:
- The URL or Listing ID of the allegedly violating Listing or content;
- A clear description of the specific violation alleged;
- Any supporting documentation, screenshots, or evidence;
- Your contact information (reports may be submitted anonymously, but providing contact information allows
us to follow up with you).
27.3 Platform's Investigation Process
Upon receiving a report, the Company will:
- Log the report and assign it to a content moderation team member;
- Review the reported Content against the standards in this AUP;

RESPONSE TO ANY REPORT, OR THAT IT WILL INVESTIGATE ALL REPORTS WITHIN ANY

CONTENT ENFORCEMENT ARE FINAL AND MADE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.
Part VI — Reporting, Enforcement & Platform Rights
www.4estatesale.com
27.5 No Retaliation
The Company strictly prohibits retaliation against any User or third party who in good faith reports a suspected
violation of this AUP. Retaliation includes but is not limited to threats, harassment campaigns, filing false counter-
reports, or any other action intended to punish or deter a person from reporting violations. Retaliation is itself a
serious AUP violation subject to immediate account termination.
27.6 False and Abusive Reports
Filing reports that you know to be false — for example, reporting a legitimate competitor's Listing to harm their
business — is prohibited and constitutes an AUP violation. The Company reserves the right to take enforcement
action against Users who file systematic false reports, including account suspension and termination.
28
Enforcement Framework & Consequence Tiers
Enforcement Philosophy
The Company uses a tiered enforcement framework that calibrates consequences to the severity and nature of the
violation. However, the Company reserves the absolute right to skip any tier and proceed directly to immediate
account termination for violations it deems sufficiently serious, without prior notice. No User is entitled to
progress through lower tiers before being subject to termination for serious violations.
Tier 1 — Formal Warning
When Applied: Minor, first-time, technical, or inadvertent violations — such as minor listing inaccuracies, failure to
update a listing for a changed sale date, minor content formatting violations, or use of stock photography without clear
fraudulent intent.
Actions Taken: Written warning by email identifying the specific violation, the content or conduct that triggered the
warning, and the required corrective action. The User is given a specified period (typically 48–72 hours) to correct the
violation.
Consequences of Non-Compliance: Failure to take the required corrective action within the specified period will result
in escalation to Tier 2 or higher.
Record: Warning is recorded in the User's account history. Accumulation of warnings across multiple incidents may
result in escalation.
Part VI — Reporting, Enforcement & Platform Rights
www.4estatesale.com
Tier 2 — Content Removal & Listing Suspension
When Applied: Repeated minor violations; moderate violations including misleading listing content, unauthorized use
of brand names, duplicate listings, spam conduct, or failure to respond to a Tier 1 warning.
Actions Taken: Removal of specific non-compliant Listings from public view; notification to the Subscriber identifying
the removed Listing(s) and the reason for removal; instruction on what must be corrected before Listings may be
resubmitted.
Consequences: Removed Listings may not be republished until the violation is corrected and the Company approves
reinstatement. Subscription fees continue to accrue during the Listing suspension period — no credit or refund is
provided for suspended Listings.
Record: Removal recorded in account history. Multiple Tier 2 actions will result in escalation.
Tier 3 — Account Suspension
When Applied: Serious violations including: significant listing fraud or misrepresentation; harassment of Buyers or
other Users; attempted platform fee circumvention; unauthorized data collection; multiple simultaneous account
creation; failure to respond to Tier 2 enforcement; third DMCA violation within 12 months.
Actions Taken: All active Listings unpublished immediately; login access restricted to read-only or fully suspended;
notification sent to Subscriber identifying the violations and the suspension period (typically 7–30 days).
During Suspension: Subscription fees continue to accrue unless the suspension triggers cancellation. The Company
may offer a path to reinstatement, which may include written acknowledgment of the violation, removal of offending
content, and payment of any outstanding fees.
No Refund: No refund is issued for any portion of a Billing Period during which the account is suspended for an AUP
violation.
Tier 4 — Permanent Account Termination
When Applied Immediately (No Warning Required): Listing of Absolutely Prohibited Items; confirmed listing of
stolen property; fraud or deception causing actual harm to Buyers; confirmed counterfeit goods listings; any listing
involving CSAM or exploitation of minors; chargeback fraud; identity fraud; technical attacks on the Platform; ban
evasion after prior permanent termination; cooperation with law enforcement investigation.
When Applied After Prior Tiers: Failure to comply with a Tier 3 suspension resolution; repeated serious violations
after prior Tier 3 suspension; pattern of escalating violations demonstrating unwillingness to comply with AUP.
Actions Taken: Permanent deactivation of account; all Listings removed immediately; payment method blocked;
Subscriber permanently prohibited from creating new accounts; notification sent to Subscriber.
No Refund: ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID UP TO AND INCLUDING THE BILLING PERIOD IN WHICH
TERMINATION OCCURS ARE FORFEITED. NO REFUND WILL BE ISSUED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
FOR TERMINATION CAUSED BY AN AUP VIOLATION.
Additional Remedies: The Company reserves the right to seek injunctive relief, civil damages, and to refer serious
violations to law enforcement authorities.
Part VI — Reporting, Enforcement & Platform Rights
www.4estatesale.com
28.1 Reinstatement After Termination
Accounts terminated under Tier 4 for serious violations (Absolutely Prohibited Items, fraud, CSAM, confirmed
stolen goods, or chargeback fraud) are permanently ineligible for reinstatement under any circumstances. For Tier
4 terminations resulting from accumulated lesser violations, reinstatement may be sought through a written appeal
submitted to the Company within 30 days of the termination notice. Reinstatement is granted solely at the
Company's discretion and requires: (a) full payment of all outstanding subscription fees; (b) a written
acknowledgment of the violations; (c) a written remediation plan; and (d) payment of a reinstatement fee of
$100.00 USD, which is non-refundable.
28.2 No Entitlement to Progressive Enforcement
The tiered enforcement framework is provided as a general guideline only. The Company is under no obligation to
follow any particular sequence of enforcement steps and may skip directly to any enforcement tier — including
immediate permanent termination — based on the nature, severity, and circumstances of the violation. By
agreeing to this AUP, you waive any claim that the Company failed to provide a warning or progressive
opportunity to cure before taking enforcement action, except as expressly required by applicable Florida law.
29
Platform Rights & Discretionary Authority
Prime Partners Group, LLC expressly reserves and retains the following rights, each of which may be exercised in
the Company's sole and absolute discretion without prior notice to the affected User:
29.1 Right to Remove Content
The Company may remove, hide, edit, modify, or refuse to publish any Listing, photograph, description, or other
Content that:
Violates or is suspected to violate this AUP, the Terms of Service, or any applicable law;

the Platform's commercial objectives;
Is the subject of a complaint by a Buyer, third party, or regulatory authority;
Includes Content over which the Platform has received a valid DMCA takedown notice;
The Company determines poses a risk of legal liability to the Company, its partners, or its Users.
Content removal does not entitle the Subscriber to any refund, credit, or compensation.
29.2 Right to Suspend or Terminate Accounts
The Company may suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without cause, subject only to the notice
and refund provisions in the Refund and Cancellation Policy for terminations without cause. For terminations for
cause (AUP violations), no prior notice is required and no refund will be issued.
Part VI — Reporting, Enforcement & Platform Rights
www.4estatesale.com
29.3 Right to Modify Listing Features
The Company may modify, enhance, reduce, or discontinue any Platform feature, tool, or service — including
Listing display options, search functionality, buyer notification features, and geographic reach — at any time,
without incurring any obligation to provide a refund to Subscribers for changes to feature sets.
29.4 Right to Disclose Information
The Company may disclose any User information, Listing content, account records, or other Platform data to: (a)
law enforcement or regulatory authorities in response to lawful requests; (b) civil litigants pursuant to valid legal
process (subpoena, court order, civil investigative demand); or (c) third parties whose intellectual property rights
have been allegedly infringed, as necessary to facilitate DMCA compliance and dispute resolution.
29.5 Right to Verify User Information
The Company reserves the right to verify the accuracy of User-provided information — including business name,
licensing status, location, and item descriptions — through third-party verification services, public records, and
direct requests to the User. Failure to provide requested verification information within a reasonable time may
result in Listing suspension or account termination.
30
No Monitoring Obligation & Section 230
30.1 No Monitoring Obligation
The Company has no obligation to monitor, review, screen, edit, or verify any User-Generated Content submitted
to the Platform before or after publication. The Company is not a publisher or speaker of User-Generated Content
within the meaning of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230). The Company
provides a passive publishing platform and does not exercise editorial control over the substance of individual
Listings.
30.2 Section 230 Notice
The Company claims the protections afforded by Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act. Pursuant to
47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), the Company shall not be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided
by another information content provider. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(2), the Company shall not be held liable
for any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the Company
considers to be objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.
30.3 Voluntary Enforcement
When the Company does voluntarily review Content and takes enforcement action, such action is taken in the
Company's sole discretion as a matter of platform integrity. Voluntary enforcement in one instance does not create
an obligation to enforce in all instances, does not establish any pattern of monitoring, and does not waive any
Part VI — Reporting, Enforcement & Platform Rights

CDA Section 230 protection.
31

31.3 Voluntary Reporting
The Company may voluntarily report suspected criminal activity to law enforcement, even in the absence of a
formal law enforcement request, where the Company reasonably believes that criminal conduct is being facilitated

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
35.1 Governing Law
This AUP and all disputes arising under or related to it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its choice-of-law principles. Applicable Florida statutes, including
the Florida Consumer Protection Act, Florida Computer Crimes Act, Florida Auctioneer Law, and Florida
Information Protection Act, shall govern where relevant.
35.2 Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue
Any legal action or proceeding arising under or related to this AUP or your use of the Platform shall be brought
exclusively in the state courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, or in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, Miami Division. You hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of
such courts and waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue on grounds of inconvenience or otherwise. This is a
mandatory forum selection clause.
35.3 Informal Resolution
Prior to initiating any formal legal proceeding, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any AUP-
related dispute through direct negotiation for a period of at least 30 days following written notice from the
aggrieved party to the other. This obligation does not apply to: (a) the Company seeking emergency injunctive or
equitable relief; or (b) law enforcement proceedings.
35.4 Class Action Waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE TO BRING ANY CLAIM ARISING
UNDER THIS AUP IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING.
35.5 Equitable Relief
You acknowledge that a breach of this AUP — particularly provisions relating to intellectual property,
confidentiality, technical attacks, or use of Prohibited Items — may cause the Company irreparable harm for
which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement of posting a
bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages.
