Overview
Antistock is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and legal compliance in the financial technology ecosystem. This policy establishes clear guidelines for restricted activities to protect our platform, our merchants, their customers, and the broader financial system.
Any violation of these guidelines may result in immediate consequences, including account suspension or termination.
Restricted Activities and Transactions
Illegal Activities
Antistock strictly prohibits any transactions or activities that constitute financial crimes or illegal operations. The platform has zero tolerance for activities that undermine legal and ethical business practices. Specific restricted illegal activities include:

Terrorist financing or supporting terrorist-related activities
Sanctions evasion that circumvents international economic restrictions
Tax evasion through financial misrepresentation
Fraud in any form, including documentational or transactional deception
Processing transactions involving proceeds from unlawful activities

Certain business categories are inherently high-risk or potentially illegal, and therefore cannot be processed through the Antistock platform. The platform maintains strict standards to prevent engagement with potentially harmful or illegal business models. Specifically restricted business categories include:
Illegal drugs and controlled substances without proper governmental licensing
Unlicensed or illegal gambling operations
Illegal financial schemes, including Ponzi and pyramid schemes

Counterfeit goods that imitate protected products
Unauthorized copies of copyrighted materials
Products infringing on existing patents, trademarks, or trade secrets
Selling or distributing items that violate established intellectual property rights
Restricted Transaction Practices
Certain transactional practices are explicitly forbidden on the Antistock platform to maintain the integrity of the payment ecosystem. Merchants are restricted from engaging in the following practices:
Payment aggregation without explicit Antistock approval
Processing transactions for undisclosed third parties
Conducting transactions with unreasonable chargeback or fraud risks
Attempting to bypass security measures or fraud prevention mechanisms
Manipulating transaction data or routing to circumvent platform controls
Misrepresentation and Fraud
Absolute transparency is a core requirement for all merchants on the Antistock platform. The following forms of misrepresentation and fraud are strictly restricted:
Providing false or misleading information to Antistock, customers, or regulatory authorities
Transaction laundering through shell companies or front companies
Deliberately obscuring the true nature of commercial activities
Creating complex corporate structures designed to hide transactional details
Misrepresenting business operations or financial activities
Consequences of Violation
Violations of this policy are treated with the utmost seriousness. Merchants who fail to comply with these guidelines may face immediate account suspension or complete termination of their Antistock account.
Depending on the severity of the violation, Antistock may be obligated to report activities to relevant regulatory authorities. This can include law enforcement agencies, financial crime units, and other governmental bodies. Legal action may be pursued to protect Antistock's interests and those of the broader financial ecosystem.
Compliance Obligations
Merchants are required to maintain comprehensive documentation demonstrating their compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes conducting thorough customer due diligence, implementing robust internal controls, and maintaining detailed records of all transactions.
Continuous monitoring of transaction activities is mandatory, with merchants expected to promptly identify and address any suspicious activities. Proactive compliance is not just a requirement but a fundamental responsibility of operating on the Antistock platform.
Reporting
Merchants have a critical role in maintaining the platform's integrity. They are required to immediately report any potentially restricted activities to Antistock's compliance team. This includes any suspicious transactions, potential violations observed within their own operations, or any concerns about potential misuse of the platform.
Timely and transparent reporting is crucial in preventing financial crimes and maintaining the platform's security.
Ongoing Monitoring
Antistock employs sophisticated monitoring systems to continuously assess transaction activities and account behaviors. The platform reserves the absolute right to investigate, review, and take action on any transactions or accounts that may potentially violate this policy.
This ongoing monitoring is implemented through advanced technological tools, including machine learning algorithms, pattern recognition systems, and manual review processes. Merchants should understand that compliance is a continuous process, not a one-time requirement.
