Prohibited Services
This page is Annexure C to Deepvue’s Terms of Service and forms an integral part of the Agreement. It lists the goods, services, and business categories (the “Blacklisted Categories”) that may not be served using the Services, whether directly or on behalf of a third party.
The Customer shall, at all times, only serve the usecases that it explicitly mentioned at the time of signing up and will not switch or add a new usecase without prior approval from Deepvue. For confirmation, the customer has agreed that it will not serve the following usecases at any point of time (Blacklisted Categories):
Changing or adding a usecase needs prior approval. If your usecase is not the one you declared at sign-up — or you are unsure whether it falls within a category below — write to [email protected] before you go live. Serving a Blacklisted Category is grounds for suspension of the Services under the Terms.
Items keep their number from the executed Annexure C, so numbering is not consecutive within a group — item 6 sits under Adult content, item 22 under Weapons. Numbers are never reused, and anything removed is listed under Amendment history.

No category matches that search. This filter matches the wording of the items above, so a search returning nothing is not confirmation that your usecase is permitted. Check Amendment history for items that have been removed, and write to [email protected] before you go live.
