Venduka is a marketplace for genuine original creations. This policy explains which products may be sold, how we verify this, and what happens in case of violations.
What is allowed
On Venduka you may sell what you designed or made yourself:
- Handcrafted products you make yourself (e.g. jewellery, ceramics, textiles, woodwork).
- 3D-printed products from your own or properly licensed designs.
- Original digital creations (e.g. print templates, 3D models, sewing patterns, graphics).
- Personalised and made-to-order items.
- Upcycled and creatively transformed products with clear personal craftsmanship.
- Products you designed that are made by a production partner you commissioned — as long as you state this transparently in the listing.
The four product classes
Every listing falls into one of these classes. They determine what you must state in your listing's origin block:
Handmade by me
You make the product yourself — by hand or with your own tools and machines in your workshop.
Designed by me, made externally
The design is yours; production is handled by a partner you commissioned. The partner must be named transparently in the listing.
3D-printed by me
You print the product yourself on your own printers — from your own design or under a licence that explicitly permits commercial sale.
Original digital creation
You sell a file you created yourself (e.g. 3D model, sewing pattern, print template). Simply reselling other people's files is prohibited.
What is prohibited
These practices lead to enforcement action — up to permanent suspension of the shop:
- Dropshipping and reselling: selling purchased goods without your own craftsmanship.
- Mass-produced or factory goods presented as handmade.
- 3D prints from third-party designs without a valid commercial licence.
- Reselling third-party digital files or mass AI output without recognisable original work.
- Counterfeits and products that infringe trademark, copyright or design rights.
- False statements in the origin block (who / what / made with what).
- Evading review through rotating accounts or manipulated photos.
Special rules for 3D printing
For 3D-printed products, the following also applies:
- You need commercial usage rights to the design — either your own design or a licence that explicitly permits sale.
- The licence source must be verifiable on request (e.g. proof of licence from the design provider).
- State in the listing that the product is 3D-printed, including the material used.
- Post-processing (sanding, painting, assembly) counts as your own craftsmanship and may be advertised.
How we review
We review on a risk basis and follow up on every concrete report:
- Automated signals: suspicious listings (e.g. identical stock photos) are flagged for review.
- Manual review: our team examines the listing, shop details and the origin block.
- Proof request: we may request workshop photos, work-in-progress shots or licence documentation.
- Decision: approval, a condition (e.g. correcting the details) or enforcement action in case of violation.
Consequences of violations
Measures depend on the severity and repetition of the violation:
Minor violation
Notice and a deadline to correct (e.g. unclear origin details). The listing stays online if you correct it in time.
Significant violation
Affected listings are taken offline; repeated violations may lead to temporary restrictions on the shop.
Severe violation
Permanent suspension of the shop — e.g. for systematic dropshipping, counterfeits or forged documentation. Pending payouts are released only after clarification.
Appeal
You can appeal any measure: reply directly to our notification or write to [email protected]. We will re-examine your case and explain the decision.
