Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Scope Automation provides education, software recommendations, templates, and operator support for sellers building businesses on Walmart Marketplace. By purchasing or accessing any Scope Automation product, you agree to operate your store in compliance with this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), Walmart Marketplace's then-current policies, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

1. You are the seller of record

You — not Scope Automation — are the legal seller of record for every order processed through your Walmart Marketplace account. You are solely responsible for product sourcing, accuracy of listings, pricing, taxes, returns, customer service, intellectual property compliance, and adherence to Walmart's Marketplace Retailer Agreement and Seller Standards.

2. Prohibited conduct

You agree NOT to use any material from Scope Automation to:

  • List counterfeit, infringing, recalled, restricted, or prohibited products.
  • Engage in retail arbitrage from another consumer-facing marketplace where the end customer receives a package or invoice from a third-party retailer (this violates Walmart's Prohibited Products Policy and Drop Ship Vendor terms — see our Compliance & Fulfillment Disclosure).
  • Manipulate reviews, ratings, search ranking, or buy-box placement.
  • Use bots, scripts, scrapers, or automation in any way that violates Walmart Marketplace's terms, exceeds documented API rate limits, or impersonates a human user in Walmart Seller Center.
  • Misrepresent shipping origin, lead times, inventory availability, or product condition.
  • Operate multiple accounts to evade enforcement actions or stacking.
  • Evade taxes, customs, or sales-tax collection obligations.

3. Automation tools

"Automation" in our curriculum refers to legitimate operational software: official Walmart APIs, approved third-party integrations (listing managers, repricers built on the Walmart Repricer API, order/label automation, accounting sync, and virtual-assistant workflows). It does not include bots that scrape Walmart pages, auto-click Seller Center, or otherwise circumvent platform controls. You are responsible for confirming any tool you choose complies with Walmart's API Terms of Use and Marketplace policies before deploying it.

4. Supplier standards

You must source from suppliers who: (a) hold the legal right to distribute the products, (b) can ship under your business name with no third-party retailer branding, packing slips, or invoices, (c) meet Walmart's published handling and delivery SLAs, and (d) provide accurate tracking. See our Compliance & Fulfillment Disclosure for full supplier requirements.

5. Enforcement

We may revoke access, refuse refunds, terminate community membership, and report violations to Walmart, payment processors, or law enforcement if we believe in good faith that you have breached this AUP. This AUP supplements — and does not replace — our Terms of Service.
