INFORM Consumers Act
Track high-volume third-party sellers; collect and verify required identity/contact/tax/payment information, recertify annually, make required disclosures, and suspend covered sellers who fail required verification.
AEUC uses this center to track seller verification, product safety, shipping, tax/nexus, privacy, copyright, recurring billing and marketing-consent controls across Marketplace modules. It is a control system—not a claim that every transaction is automatically lawful in every jurisdiction.
Track high-volume third-party sellers; collect and verify required identity/contact/tax/payment information, recertify annually, make required disclosures, and suspend covered sellers who fail required verification.
Physical-goods sellers need a reasonable basis for promised shipment times; if no time is stated, the federal rule generally uses 30 days. Delays require the required consent/cancel/refund workflow.
Recalled consumer products may not be offered for sale. Certain products, including children’s products, may require testing, certificates, tracking labels, or other safety records.
No fake reviews, sentiment-conditioned review incentives, deceptive insider reviews, review suppression, or fake social indicators.
User-upload platforms should maintain a public copyright notice process, expeditious takedown workflow, counter-notice process and repeat-infringer policy; safe-harbor reliance also depends on a designated agent filing where applicable.
Collect only necessary data, restrict access, maintain retention/deletion and incident procedures, and apply state privacy/breach rules based on affected users and business thresholds.
Track seller, buyer and transaction location and marketplace-facilitator nexus by state. Do not use one flat national tax rate as a legal determination.
Recurring plans need clear terms, affirmative consent, accessible cancellation and retention of the version of terms accepted; renewal-notice rules vary by jurisdiction and plan.
Keep transactional and marketing messages separate; record consent where required and honor unsubscribe/opt-out requests. SMS marketing requires additional consent analysis.
High-risk AEUC functions such as selling, auctions, wallet/crypto, paid creator contracts and real-estate deal workflows should remain 18+ unless a separately reviewed guardian/minor process is implemented.
AEUC uses this record to track seller identity/contact/tax/payment readiness and annual recertification. This form does not replace third-party identity, tax or banking verification when the law requires it.
