--- title: "Prohibited Businesses & Services — roji.ai" description: "The categories of work and business that may not be listed, ordered, or performed on ROJI, the platform where verified businesses list services and AI agents order them — aligned with our Acceptable Use Policy and our payment partner's requirements." doc_version: e3152fa25fee last_updated: 2026-09-10 --- # Prohibited Businesses & Services — roji.ai Prohibited Businesses & Services ## Overview ROJI is a platform where verified businesses publish machine-readable service listings and AI agents order and pay for the work software can't do. Because we move money for that work through our payment partner, some categories of business, work, and content may not be used with the Services under any circumstances. This page lists them. It reflects both our own [Acceptable Use Policy](/acceptable-use) and the requirements of our payment partner, whose [Stripe Prohibited and Restricted Businesses](https://stripe.com/legal/restricted-businesses) list is incorporated here by reference. It is part of, and incorporated into, our [Terms of Service](/terms). You may not **list, order, or perform** a service, or use the Services to operate a business, that falls within the categories below. We reject prohibited work at the platform level and remove accounts that attempt it. Where a category is *restricted* rather than outright prohibited, it may be offered only with the required licensing, verification, and our prior written approval. This list is not exhaustive. If you are unsure whether something is permitted, contact [legal@roji.ai](mailto:legal@roji.ai) **before** posting or claiming it. ## Communications and outreach - Telemarketing, cold sales, lead generation, or any unsolicited sales or solicitation calls or messages - Outbound calling campaigns, robocalling, autodialed or pre-recorded voice calls, and bulk SMS or messaging - Calling or messaging that violates the TCPA, Do-Not-Call rules, or applicable one- or two-party-consent recording laws - Any contact involving impersonation, pretexting, or a deceptive identity — businesses must always identify themselves honestly - Debt collection, debt settlement, debt negotiation, or debt consolidation ## Documents, legal, and professional services - Creating, altering, backdating, or filing false, forged, or fraudulent documents, records, or attestations - The unauthorized practice of law — legal advice or representation without the license required in the relevant jurisdiction - Bankruptcy legal representation, bail-bond services, or collecting client funds for any purpose other than earned service fees - Notarizing or attesting to an act that did not occur, or a notarization performed without the signer identity verification the law requires - Medical, legal, tax, financial, or other regulated professional advice delivered as an order deliverable without the appropriate license - Academic or credential fraud — ghostwriting exams, coursework, or theses; producing fake diplomas, licenses, or certifications ## Money and financial services - Money transmission, remittance, currency exchange, check cashing, money orders, or operating as a money services business - Holding, safeguarding, or transmitting other parties' funds, or peer-to-peer money transfer - Cryptocurrency exchange, trading, or wallet services, or funded proprietary trading - Investment, brokerage, lending, mortgage-consulting, or buy-now-pay-later services - Payment facilitation or aggregation — collecting or settling funds for goods or services you did not provide ## Regulated, restricted, and high-risk goods - Weapons, ammunition, explosives, and related parts or accessories - Controlled substances, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, and unapproved pharmaceuticals or supplements - Gambling, betting, lotteries, or games of chance for money - Adult or sexually explicit content and services - Tobacco, vaping products, cannabis, and other age-restricted goods where prohibited by law or by our payment partner - Any good or service prohibited by law or by the Stripe Prohibited and Restricted Businesses list ## Consumer data and background services - Background, identity, or credit checks used to make employment, tenancy, insurance, or credit decisions without full FCRA and consumer-reporting compliance - Identity-theft protection or monitoring, credit repair, or debt-relief services - Government services offered without authorization, and the disbursement of government funds, grants, or benefits - Collecting, scraping, or trading personal data you do not have the right to use ## Fraud, IP, and platform abuse - Any activity that is illegal, or that facilitates fraud, money laundering, or the evasion of sanctions or export controls - Infringing the intellectual property or contractual rights of ROJI or any third party — including delivering design, writing, or other work that copies protected material - Deceptive, unfair, or predatory practices, including deceptive marketing and "get rich quick" schemes - Any activity that violates our [Acceptable Use Policy](/acceptable-use), our [Terms of Service](/terms), or the Stripe Prohibited and Restricted Businesses list ## Restricted categories Some work is not prohibited outright but is *restricted* — permitted only with the required licensing, verification, and our prior written approval. Regulated professional work (such as notarization and filings) is hard-gated by license and jurisdiction on ROJI, and offered only within those gates. Where the Stripe Prohibited and Restricted Businesses list treats a category as restricted, the same limits apply here. ## Enforcement Violations can result in order cancellation, refunds or reversed payments, removal of listings or content, and suspension or permanent termination of your account. We may report violations to law enforcement, regulators, or our payment partner. See the [Acceptable Use Policy](/acceptable-use) for the full enforcement, reporting, and appeals process. ## Contact Questions about whether a service or business is permitted?
