Prohibited Items Policy

Decor Encore is a marketplace for event decor and related event styling items. This Prohibited Items Policy explains what may not be listed, sold, promoted, requested, or exchanged through the platform.

We may remove any listing or restrict any account if we believe an item violates this policy, creates safety concerns, violates the law, harms marketplace trust, or does not fit the purpose of Decor Encore.

  • Incorrect condition labels
  • Bait-and-switch listings
  • Listings for items not actually available

8. Non-Decor or Off-Category Items

Decor Encore is focused on event decor and related event styling items. We may remove listings that do not fit the marketplace.

Examples of items that may be removed include:

  • General household goods unrelated to events
  • Clothing or accessories not tied to event decor
  • Personal services not supported by the platform
  • Random resale inventory unrelated to celebrations or styling

9. Food, Perishables, and Consumables

Food, beverages, perishables, and consumables are generally not permitted unless Decor Encore later creates a specific supported category with additional rules.

10. Live Plants, Florals, and Organic Materials

Artificial florals and reusable event florals may be allowed. Live plants, fresh florals, or organic materials may be restricted or removed if they create safety, spoilage, pest, transport, or compliance concerns.

11. Services and Rentals

Decor Encore may support resale, rental, or service-related features in the future. Unless clearly supported, sellers should not list services, staffing, setup labor, rentals, or venue services as standard decor items.

12. Items Requiring Special Disclosure

Some items may be allowed only if accurately disclosed. Sellers must clearly identify defects, risks, missing parts, sizing issues, setup requirements, fragility, or special handling needs.

  • Large arches, stands, or backdrops
  • Glassware, mirrors, candles, or fragile decor
  • Electrical or battery-powered decor
  • Personalized signage
  • Decor with visible wear or damage

13. Enforcement

Decor Encore may remove listings, limit visibility, request edits, suspend seller tools, restrict accounts, or terminate accounts if we believe this policy has been violated.

We may also take action if an item creates legal, safety, reputational, or marketplace-quality concerns, even if it is not specifically listed in this policy.

14. Reporting Prohibited Items

Users may report listings they believe violate this policy. Decor Encore may review reports and take action at its discretion.

15. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Prohibited Items Policy from time to time. Continued use of Decor Encore after updates become effective means you accept the updated policy.
