Terms of Service | NetworQ Social

Effective Date: August 28, 2025
Last Updated: August 28, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using NetworQ Social (the “Platform”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and any community guidelines, policies, or rules that we publish or update from time to time.

These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including but not limited to coaches, creators, entrepreneurs, learners, group or page administrators, marketplace sellers, and community members who participate in courses, events, forums, or reels.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

By accepting these Terms, you also confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old, or of the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, to enter into a binding agreement.

• You have the authority to create an account and, if applicable, act on behalf of your business, brand, or organization.

• You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations while using the Platform.

Your participation on NetworQ Social is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, our community standards, or any applicable law.

2. Community Guidelines

NetworQ Social is a community-first learning and earning platform. Our mission is to create a space where coaches, creators, entrepreneurs, and learners can share knowledge, build relationships, and grow together. To keep the Platform safe, supportive, and valuable for everyone, you agree to follow these guidelines:

Respectful Conduct

• Treat all members with respect, even if you disagree.

• Do not post harmful, abusive, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise offensive content.

• Harassment, bullying, or targeted attacks against individuals or groups are strictly prohibited.

Honest Participation

• Use your real name and provide accurate information in your profile (business names belong on Pages and Groups, not personal accounts).

• Do not impersonate others or misrepresent your identity.

• Share knowledge, resources, and opportunities in good faith — not to mislead or exploit.

Safe & Legal Use

• Do not post or distribute unlawful content, including threats, incitement, or content that violates intellectual property rights.

• Prohibited activities include scams, pyramid schemes, or the sale of counterfeit, restricted, or illegal products.

• Do not attempt to upload, transmit, or distribute malware, viruses, or any harmful code.

No Spam or Manipulation

• Avoid repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional spam in posts, comments, or messages.

• Do not artificially manipulate visibility (e.g., fake likes, fake followers, or coordinated inauthentic behavior).

• Backlinks and business promotion are welcome only when paired with valuable content that serves learners and the community.

Accountability & Consequences

• Violations of these guidelines may result in warnings, content removal, restricted features, account suspension, or permanent termination.

• Serious violations (such as fraud, harassment, or threats) may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

We believe that NetworQ thrives when knowledge-sharing comes first. By following these guidelines, you help us maintain a platform that empowers everyone to learn, teach, and earn responsibly.

3. User Responsibilities

To participate in NetworQ Social and access its features, you must create and maintain a valid account. A complete and authentic profile helps us build a trusted community. When registering, you agree to provide the following:

• Your real first and last name (business names belong on Pages or Groups, not personal profiles).

• A valid email address that you actively check for verification and communication.

• A current profile photo of yourself (logos, stock images, or misleading photos are not permitted).

• Your country and city/state location for transparency and to help members connect locally when desired.

By maintaining your account, you agree to the following responsibilities:

Accuracy & Authenticity

• Keep your profile information true, accurate, and up to date.

• Do not create multiple accounts, fake accounts, or impersonate others.

• Use your account for personal participation — business representation should be managed through Pages, Groups, or Marketplace listings.

Account Security

• You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials (email and password).

• All activity that occurs under your account is your responsibility.

• Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access or a security breach.

Community Trust

• Use your account to contribute positively to the Platform — whether by sharing knowledge, joining discussions, enrolling in courses, posting gigs, or creating content.

• Do not lend, sell, or transfer your account to another individual or entity.

• Respect the rights, privacy, and safety of other members.

Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in account restrictions, suspension, or termination. Our goal is to ensure every member can confidently connect, learn, and earn in a safe and authentic environment.

Your Rights

Content Removal & Retention
