Scary or horrendous Content: The content or main application of the apps should not be in the way of creating fear and panic, such as the narrative of real criminal incidents. Of course, in cases where the content of the program has a fiction and entertainment aspect, and it does not report a reality, it probably will not be a problem.

Sensitizing Content: We intend to support mobile apps and avoid controversy. If you want to speak or criticize politics, religion or sect, you can write a book. Programs’ content should not be sensitizing, suspicious or dubious about religions, cultures, peoples, nationalities, and governments. Also, there are no place for issues like sexual relations, marital issues, freemasonry, Satanism, and many other sensitizing issues in the Café Bazaar.

Harmful and Dangerous content: The program and its contents should not harm user's device or interfere with the functionality of other programs.

User-generated content: Programs that user can contribute to the production of content requires a specific structure to monitor content before it is published and to allow users to report inappropriate content and block harassing and trespassing users.

Content Update: Changes to the program after its release should not be done in such a way as to change the nature of the content or application of app.

Content-Wise

Content-wise, you may need to require a specific license for your app before publishing it on CafeBazaar, since social networks and blogs are not necessarily accurate. In cases where content accuracy is more essential, blogs or social media as a source is not valid and it might be needed to acquire certificates from specific resources. The certificate acquisition is the developer's responsibility. Here are some examples:

- Apps with the sensitive contents or sensitive information related to the user requires permission from the "center of development of information technology and digital media Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance".
- Apps with Live IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting) services need to provide license for publishing.
- In some cases of horror games, the developer is required to get the necessary approvals from the "National Foundation of Computer Games".
