Community

Community guidelines.

Apex Swipe works because the community works. Here's how we keep it that way.

01

Our values

  • Real over fake. No counterfeits. No misleading listings. No fake picks.
  • Respect. Talk to every buyer, seller, and viewer like a human being.
  • Transparency. Disclose flaws. Show items honestly. Tell the truth about condition.
  • India-first. Indian laws, Indian values, Indian community.
02

For everyone — what we don't allow

  • Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, sexuality, region, language, or any other identity.
  • Threats or doxxing.
  • Spam or scams.
  • Sharing personal contact info to bypass Apex (transactions outside Apex aren't protected and break our terms).
  • Sexual or sexually suggestive content.
  • Politically inflammatory content that violates Indian law.
03

For sellers — listing rules

  • Describe items accurately. Disclose every flaw, no matter how small.
  • Use your own photos and videos. No stock images.
  • No counterfeits. We will permanently ban accounts that sell fakes.
  • No prohibited items: weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, ivory, wildlife products, hazardous materials, currency outside numismatic context, anything illegal under Indian law.
  • Price honestly. No fake "original" prices.
  • No shill picking — using alts or friends to drive up your own prices is fraud and gets you banned permanently.
  • Ship within 48 hours. Communicate proactively if you can't.
04

For buyers — picking rules

  • Picks are binding. Don't pick if you can't pay.
  • No pick-and-bail. Multiple non-payments = permanent ban.
  • Pay on time.
  • File disputes honestly. False disputes hurt sellers and waste everyone's time.
  • Leave honest reviews.
05

Live show etiquette

  • Be kind in chat.
  • Don't spam.
  • Don't promote other platforms or external sales.
  • Don't share illegal or harmful content.
  • Hosts can mute, kick, or ban viewers from their shows. Apex moderators can do the same platform-wide.
06

How we enforce

First offense: warning. Second: temporary suspension. Third or severe first offense: permanent ban. Severe violations (fraud, counterfeits, hate speech, threats) = immediate permanent ban with no warning. We use both human moderators and automated systems. Decisions can be appealed by emailing trust@apexswipe.in within 7 days.
