Digitally delivered goods policy

Your listing has to clearly state that you legally own the information (sometimes called intellectual property) or you've been authorized to sell it.
Your items can't have any sexually-oriented adult (pornographic) content.
Your item can't include software that would damage anyone's computer, could be used for malicious purposes like sending spam emails or spreading a computer virus, or would violate anyone's privacy (spyware or cookies, for example). For more details, see our HTML and JavaScript policy.
