Q&A

Question: What happens if people are selling illegal products on my website?

Answer:

As a website owner, you can be held responsible for the material posted on your website and for the conduct of users on your website. If you reasonably suspect that people are selling illegal products through your website, we recommend that you remove the relevant accounts, which you can provide for in your Website Terms of Use.  If you believe it to be necessary you can also report the illegal products/behaviour to the relevant officials such as your hosting provider or the ACCC.
