Review the Neargroups Rules, which are part of the User Agreement and which describe the prohibitions on the Services. You may use the Services only if you comply with these Terms and with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
NearGroups Rules
We believe that everyone should be able to meet people through our services instantly, without any obstacles. In order to protect the security and user experience of Neargroups, we have set some limits on the type of content and behaviors tolerated. These limits are stipulated below in the Neargroups Rules.
The Neargroups Rules (and all policies incorporated therein), the Privacy Policy, and the Terms and Conditions together comprise the 'Neargroups User Agreement' which governs users' access to and use of Neargroups services.
All persons accessing or using Neargroups services must abide by the policies set forth in the Neargroups Rules. If they do not, Neargroups may take one or more of the following steps to ensure compliance:
- request that you remove prohibited content as a condition of continuing to create new posts and interact with other Neargroups users;
- temporarily limit your ability to create posts or interact with other Neargroups users;
- request that you verify ownership of your account with a phone number or email address;
- or permanently suspend the account(s).
If you try to avoid a permanent suspension by creating new accounts, we will suspend the new accounts.
We reserve the right to modify the Rules when necessary.
The policies stipulated in these Neargroups Rules govern the organic content of our platform.
Rules: Content limitations and use of Neargroups
Brand: We reserve the right to suspend your account(s) or take other appropriate action if you use another's brand or trademark in a manner that may mislead or confuse others as to your affiliation with that trademark.
Copyright: We will respond to clear and complete notices of alleged copyright infringement.
Graphic violence and content not suitable for minors, We consider graphic violence any type of gruesome multimedia content that shows death, serious injury, violence or surgical procedures. We consider unsuitable content for Neargroups any media content that is pornographic or intended to generate sexual arousal.
Unlawful use: You may not use our service for illegal purposes or for the promotion of illegal activities. By using Neargroups, you agree to comply with all applicable laws governing your online behavior and content posted on the Internet.
Inactive accounts: Neargroups can also delete accounts that remain inactive for more than six (6) months.
Mailing errors: If you indicate to us a mail that does not exist, or that marks us as spam, or that has the full hard disk or simply marks us error when sending any type of email, we keep the right to eliminate that account at any time.
Rules: Abusive behavior
We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but this fundamental philosophy is of little use if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak out. To ensure that everyone feels safe to express diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behaviour that enters the realm of abuse, and that includes harassment, intimidation or the use of fear to silence the voice of others.
Context is relevant when assessing abusive behaviour and determining appropriate measures to ensure compliance with policies. Factors we may consider include, but are not limited to, the following:
the behavior is directed at a particular person or group of people;
the complainant is either the recipient of the abuse or a witness;
the behavior is newsworthy and of genuine public interest.
Rules: Violence and physical harm
Violence: You cannot make specific threats of violence or express a desire for physical harm, illness or death to a person or group of people. This includes, but is not limited to, threatening acts of terrorism or promoting terrorism. Nor can you affiliate with organisations which, either through their own statements or activities both inside and outside the platform, use or encourage violence against civilians to benefit their causes.
Suicide and self-harm: You cannot encourage or promote suicide or self-harm. If we receive a report that a person is threatening to commit suicide or self-harm, we can take a number of steps to help the person. For example, we can contact the person and offer resources, such as contact information for our mental health partners.
Sexual exploitation of children: You can't encourage the sexual exploitation of children. We have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation.
Rules: Abuse and Hate Speeding Behavior
Abuse: you cannot participate in harassment directed at a person or incite others to do so. We consider it abusive behavior to attempt to harass, intimidate or silence another person's voice.
Unwanted sexual advances: You can't behave abusively toward another person by sending them unwanted sexual content, sexually objectifying them, or engaging in other inappropriate sexual behavior.
Hate speech behaviour: you may not encourage, threaten or harass others because of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or serious illness
Visible images and names that incite hatred or denote sexuality: you may not use hate speech images or symbols in any image or profile name. You also may not use your username, visible name, or profile biography to engage in abusive behavior, such as conducting targeted harassment or expressing hate against a protected person, group, or category.
Rules: Private information and intimate multimedia content
Private information: You may not publish other people's private information without their express authorization and permission. The definition of private information may vary depending on local laws.
Intimate multimedia content: you may not post or share intimate photos or videos of another person that have been produced or distributed without that person's consent
Threats of disclosure or hacking: You may not threaten to disclose another person's private information or intimate media content. You also may not threaten to hack or illegally access another person's digital information.
Rules: Impersonation
You may not impersonate other people, groups or organizations in a way that attempts, or in fact succeeds, in confusing, misleading or communicating a wrong idea to others. While you can manage parody accounts, news sources, comments and fans, you cannot do so if the purpose of the account is to send spam or commit abuse.
