Publisher Terms

Last updated: October 20, 2026

A showcase is a website you publish. These terms say what you take on when you publish one. They add to our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. "You" here means the owner of a showcase: whoever holds its key.

You are the publisher, and the seller

Everything on your showcase is published by you, under your name, not by Manolab. When someone buys from you, you are the seller. We aren't part of the sale and don't see it: there is no checkout, no payment and no message through us. Your listings, your prices, the items, how you deliver them, your returns and warranties, and the taxes on what you sell are yours to get right.

What you promise

When you publish a listing, you promise that:

  • it is real. You have the item, or the right to sell it, and it is available as described, or marked otherwise (Pending, On hold, Sold);
  • it is accurate. Its title, price, fields, description and photos fairly describe this item, including its condition and any defect a buyer would want to know about;
  • it stays accurate. You change the price, the status or the description when they change, and mark an item sold or hide it when it is no longer for sale;
  • you have the rights to every photo, video and word in it, and the permission of anyone who appears in a photo where the law requires it;
  • it is lawful to offer where you are and where your buyers are, and it follows the Acceptable Use Policy;
  • your contact details are yours, or you have the right to publish them, and you answer the people who use them.

Honest pictures

A photo of a one-off thing is evidence that this exact thing exists. The App helps you keep it that way: it resizes your photos and strips their location and camera details before upload, and it never edits, generates or "enhances" anything in them. You promise the same:

  • show the item listed, not a similar one, a stock photo or a manufacturer's picture presented as this item;
  • don't edit a photo to hide a defect, change the item's color or condition, or add what isn't there;
  • don't use AI-generated or AI-altered images of the item, unless the listing says so plainly;
  • show the condition as it is, including damage a buyer would want to see.

The law that comes with selling

You are responsible for knowing and following the law that applies to what you sell, where you sell it and where your buyers are. Showcaser's listing schemas and their fields are a convenience; they don't tell you what the law requires you to disclose, and filling them in doesn't satisfy any law. Some examples, never a complete list:

  • Vehicles. In the US, the FTC's Used Car Rule requires a dealer who sells or offers more than five used vehicles in 12 months to display a Buyers Guide on each one offered. States license dealers, require odometer and title disclosures, regulate advertised prices and fees, and have their own rules for consignment, salvage and flood titles, open recalls and "as is" sales. A dealer's advertising, including a showcase, is usually covered by those rules.
  • Real estate and rentals. Fair housing law forbids discriminatory housing advertisements. Brokers and agents must follow their licensing rules, including how they identify themselves in an advertisement. Sellers and landlords have disclosure duties (for example, lead-based paint in older US housing).
  • Art, antiques and collectibles. Be accurate about who made a work, its date, edition and provenance; some materials (ivory, certain woods, cultural property) are restricted.
  • Jewelry and precious metals. Claims about metal content, stones, weight and treatment are regulated in the US by the FTC's Jewelry Guides and elsewhere by local law.
  • Anything with a license, a permit or an age limit: see Listed only where the law allows in the Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Consumer law: price and fee advertising, warranties and their disclaimers, cooling-off and return rights where they apply, and the taxes on your sales.

If you aren't sure what applies to you, ask a lawyer or the agency that licenses your business.

Your visitors' trust

  • Contact details. People will call, text, email and visit you because of your showcase. Treat what they tell you as the law requires, and don't use their details for anything they didn't ask for.
  • Other people in your listings. Don't publish anyone else's personal information (a previous owner's name on a title photo, a license plate, a face in the background) without a reason and the right to.
  • Requests about your showcase. If someone asks you to change or remove something about them, answer them. We may forward you such a request, and we may act on it ourselves under the Acceptable Use Policy.

What we check, and what we don't

We check that every change to your showcase is signed by its key, that files fit our size and shape limits, and that what we serve is cleaned of anything that isn't plain text, the typographic subset of markdown, and pictures. We don't review, approve, verify or monitor listings, prices, descriptions, photos or owners, and we don't promise anything about them. A showcase is not a statement by Manolab about anything on it.

Taking a listing down

You can hide or delete a listing, or a whole page, at any time, from the App. It leaves your website within minutes, as browsers and our host refresh their copies. Copies other people or search engines already made stay with them.

We may take down a listing, a page or a photo, or take your showcase offline, as section 16 of the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy describe. Where it is reasonable, lawful and safe, we tell you why first, through your showcase's contact details, and give you a chance to fix it.

Liability

Your showcase, and every sale that comes from it, are covered by the disclaimers, the limitation of liability and the indemnity in our Terms of Service.
