Merchant Code
Standards of Transmission.
01. Signal Objective
The Merchant Objective is to maintain a high-fidelity marketplace. Every signal broadcasted to the radar must be an accurate representation of reality.
Ghost listings and data-noise degrade the terminal experience. Merchants are committed to purging unavailable assets immediately to ensure the neighborhood radar remains a reliable tool for all users.
02. Terminal Protocol
Active Response
A Merchant's reputation is tied to their signal responsiveness. Inquiries must be addressed within a 24-hour window to maintain high-priority radar visibility.
Pricing Integrity
The price broadcasted on the radar is the final expectation. Undisclosed surcharges or bait-and-switch tactics represent a protocol violation.
03. Exchange Tenets
Verification
Never request digital deposits or "holds." Merchants agree that all value exchange happens physically at the point of inspection.
Safe-Zone Mandate
First-time handshakes must occur in high-visibility Neutral Zones. Private residence meetings for initial contact are strictly discouraged.
Terminal Containment
Communications must remain within the Alora Terminal. Moving to third-party apps compromises the safety filter and merchant history.
