Minama Legal
Community Guidelines
Our shared rules for keeping Minama welcoming, trustworthy, and student-first.
Last updated: November 28, 2025
Be Authentic and Honest
Use your real identity, keep your profile accurate, and verify your university email. Describe items honestly, set fair prices, and be upfront about wear, damage, or limitations. Misrepresentation undermines the trust that makes Minama work.
Respectful Communication
- Stay courteous and patient, even when resolving issues or negotiating prices.
- No harassment, bullying, discrimination, or hate speech. Zero tolerance for threats or intimidation.
- Keep conversations relevant to the transaction and avoid spamming multiple users with the same message.
Quality Listings
Upload clear photos, choose accurate categories, and avoid keyword stuffing or misleading tags. Do not post illegal, dangerous, or prohibited items. Duplicate listings or attempts to artificially boost visibility may be removed.
Reliability and Follow-Through
Show up on time, respond promptly, and communicate if plans change. If you agree to a price or pickup time, honor it. Repeated no-shows, cancellations without notice, or attempts to move transactions off-platform can result in account restrictions.
Reporting and Enforcement
Report concerns to support@minama.jp with as much detail as possible. We review reports, may remove content or accounts, and will share information with campus security or law enforcement when required. Serious or repeated violations can lead to suspension or permanent removal.
