Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Working version. This document was reviewed by counsel at a preliminary level and is in use for our test environment. A full legal audit is scheduled before public launch. Please email legal@fitzzy.com with questions.

Fitzzy is a marketplace for healthcare professionals and approved resellers to trade pre-loved medical apparel. To keep the community trustworthy, every listing must follow this policy. Violations can result in listing removal, account suspension, or permanent ban.

What you CAN sell

  • Medical scrub tops, pants, joggers, and matching sets
  • Lab coats and white coats
  • Underscrubs (long-sleeve and short-sleeve compression layers)
  • Scrub jackets, vests, and warm-up tops
  • Surgical caps and bouffants (clean, unworn or laundered)
  • Compression socks (new or laundered)
  • Scrub-related accessories (belts, badge reels, pen lights, stethoscopes; see condition rules below)

What you CANNOT sell

Health & safety violations

  • Scrubs that haven't been laundered after their last wear
  • Items with visible stains, blood, biological material, or odors
  • Items with rips, holes, or major fabric damage
  • Anything described as “PPE” or potentially contaminated (gowns from clinical use, masks, gloves)
  • Items exposed to hazardous materials or used in known infectious environments
HIPAA & patient privacy. Photos must not show patient names, faces, medical record numbers, room numbers, or any other Protected Health Information (PHI). If a name badge is visible in your photo, blur it out before listing. Violations are removed immediately and may be reported to relevant authorities.

Counterfeit or misrepresented items

  • Counterfeit scrubs marketed as a real brand (FIGS, Jaanuu, Cherokee, etc.)
  • Items where you misstate the brand, size, color, or condition
  • Used items listed as “New With Tags” when the tags were reattached

Off-platform items

  • Anything that isn't medical apparel or directly scrub-adjacent
  • Personal items, household goods, electronics, fashion clothing unrelated to healthcare work
  • Services, tickets, gift cards, or digital goods

Regulated & restricted

  • Prescription medications, controlled substances, or medical devices that require licensed sale
  • Sharps (needles, scalpels) or anything requiring biohazard disposal
  • Items containing latex when not clearly disclosed
  • Items prohibited by U.S. federal or state law, or applicable international law in the buyer's jurisdiction

Photography rules

  • You must own the photo or have explicit permission to use it. Don't lift photos from another seller's listing or from a brand's website.
  • Photos must show the actual item being sold, not a stock image or a “similar” item.
  • The first photo should be a clear shot of the front. Show fabric close-ups, any wear, and back/sides in additional photos.
  • No filters that alter the item's color significantly.
  • No watermarks, contact info, or off-platform promotions.

Reseller-specific rules

If you signed up as a Reseller, you also agree to:

  • Clearly disclose if items were obtained from sample sales, store returns, customer returns, or wholesale lots.
  • Not represent yourself as a healthcare worker or claim items came “from your closet” unless they actually did.
  • Inspect, launder if needed, and accurately grade condition before listing.
  • Provide proof of purchase or sourcing if Fitzzy requests verification of an item's legitimacy.

Buyer behavior

Buyers must:

  • Pay for items they win or commit to purchase.
  • Provide accurate shipping addresses.
  • Not use the dispute system to obtain refunds dishonestly.
  • Treat sellers respectfully in all communications.

Communication & community standards

  • No harassment, threats, hate speech, or discrimination.
  • No spam, off-platform solicitation, or attempts to take transactions outside Fitzzy.
  • No sharing personal contact info (phone, address, social handles) until after a sale is confirmed.
  • No fake reviews, yours or anyone else's.

How we enforce

If we believe a listing or account violates this policy, we may (without prior notice when warranted):

  • Hide or remove the listing
  • Issue a warning
  • Suspend or terminate the account
  • Withhold payouts pending investigation
  • Refund affected buyers
  • Report serious violations to law enforcement or industry regulators

Reporting violations

See a listing or message that breaks these rules? Use the “Report” button on any listing or profile, or email trust@fitzzy.com. We review every report.

Questions

Email trust@fitzzy.com if you're unsure whether something is allowed before you list it. We'd much rather answer questions upfront than take down listings later.
