Guidelines on Merchandise
- Items offered for sale in the Flüüfff Dealers' Den should be related to the anthropomorphic theme of the convention or should have a broad appeal to furries and others in attendance of Flüüfff.
- Typical items for sale include (but are not limited to) commissions (e.g. badges or sketchbooks), original furry artwork featuring characters with two, four, or any number of limbs or body configurations, as well as prints, digital media, furry-themed jewelry, fursuit materials, and plushies made of faux fur.
- Any item that is prohibited for sale is also not permitted for display, giveaway, advertisement or delivery. Items generally prohibited for sale include, but are not limited to:
- weapons and weapon look-alikes,
- items and symbols of forbidden organizations according to §19 Belgian Constitution (Nazi symbols and others),
- items with symbols relating to groups associated with the "alt furry" movement,
- items with variations or modifications similar enough to be mistaken for a symbol mentioned above or intentionally obscured renderings of those symbols,
- any kind of drugs and medications,
- items depicting pedophilia or zoophilia,
- items depicting any kind of excessive violence, cruelty or rape.
- Items made of real fur or animal body parts, including taxidermy, clothing or accessories are prohibited. Items made from leather are accepted.
- The sale of food and beverages for direct consumption is not allowed anywhere in, including the Dealers' Den. Consumable items in closed containers can be permitted for sale with explicit (written) permission of the Dealers' Den Team in individual cases.
- The sale or offering of items that reproduce or otherwise directly imitate third parties' copyrighted material without explicit, written permission from the copyright holder is strictly forbidden. The responsibility to ensure proper permission for use of copyrighted material rests solely with the Dealer. It is the Dealer's responsibility to ensure that the written permission is available to Dealers' Den Team in either English, Dutch or French. Other languages require a certified written translation.
If an item or service requires a specific permit or a license for offering or selling the item or service, the Dealer is required to present the permit or license upon request at any time.
Any item that violates this policy may be banned from display or sale on the sole discretion of the Dealers' Den Team. Copyrighted items prohibited for sale include, but are not limited to, unlicensed depictions of any characters appearing in any media or counterfeit merchandise of any kind.
- Items that were created using any kind of AI based generators are excluded from sale, display, trade or giveaway. This also applies to works (e.g. stories, audio, backgrounds), that are derived from such items.
- No items shall be produced, displayed, given away, advertised, delivered or sold that bear the official "Flüüfff" logo or CI without explicit, written permission of the Board of Directors.
If the Flüüfff team receives a credible complaint or identifies a potential infringement, we reserve the right to:
- Request clarification or proof of rights from the seller
- Ask that specific items be removed from sale
- Remove the seller's table or access to the venue without refund, if necessary
Flüüfff is not liable for disputes between artists, sellers, or third parties regarding intellectual property. However, we will always act in good faith to maintain a respectful, legal, and community-focused environment.
