Sociala is a professional community for content creators focused on sharing knowledge, education, community-building, and growth. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") defines standards of conduct and permitted use of the Sociala website, applications, services, features, communities, creator tools, payment features, messaging tools, Consultations, Broadcasts, Smartlists, and other services that form the Sociala Platform (the "Platform").

This AUP applies to all users, creators, subscribers, fans, Channel owners, Channel administrators, Smartlist creators, Consultation providers, contractors, affiliates, partners, referrers, and any other person or entity that accesses, uses, administers, monetizes, integrates with, or participates in the Platform.

This AUP is intended to help maintain a safe, respectful, secure, age-appropriate, lawful, and productive environment for all users. It should be read together with Sociala's Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Fees and Commissions Policy, Payment Systems Policy, Refund Policy, Community Guidelines, Child Safety / CSAE Standards, Age Assurance and Parental Consent Policy, App Store Compliance Addendum, and all other applicable Platform Policies.

For content standards, child-safety rules, moderation categories, reporting mechanisms, and user-facing community standards, users should also review the Community Guidelines and Child Safety / CSAE Standards. Electronic notices are delivered as described in the Terms of Use.

If this AUP conflicts with the Terms of Use, the Terms of Use control unless the Terms of Use expressly provide otherwise. If applicable law, app-store rules, payment processor requirements, child-safety requirements, or platform distribution requirements impose stricter obligations than this AUP, Sociala may apply the stricter requirement.

Capitalized terms not defined in this AUP have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Use or other applicable Platform Policies.

"Age Assurance Signals" means age category, age range, age-assurance status, parental consent status, purchase approval status, significant-change approval status, consent revocation status, app-store install identifiers, or similar signals received from Apple, Google, app stores, operating systems, parental-control tools, or other legally permitted sources.

"Channel" means a creator-hosted digital space on the Platform where content may be shared with subscribers or other users.

"Consultation" means a one-on-one video consultation, meeting, coaching session, advisory call, real-time communication session, or similar appointment-based interaction made available through the Platform.

"Creator" means any user who creates, uploads, posts, sells, monetizes, offers, broadcasts, administers, or otherwise makes content, services, interactions, Consultations, Channels, Smartlists, or paid features available through the Platform.

"Minor" means a user under the age of eighteen (18). For age-appropriate controls, Sociala may use age categories including under 13, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, and 18 or older, or other categories required by law or app-store rules.

"Paid Interaction" means any paid user-to-user, user-to-creator, or creator-to-user interaction on the Platform, including Paid Messages, paid Consultations, paid reactions, paid boosts, paid dislikes, donations, paid subscriptions, or similar monetized interactions.

"User Content" means content, messages, posts, images, videos, audio, text, comments, links, Smartlists, Broadcasts, Consultation materials, profile information, or other materials created, uploaded, posted, transmitted, shared, or otherwise made available by users.

User-controlled text fields, labels, names, titles, promo codes, Channel names, Smartlist names, Consultation names, profile text, Broadcast subjects, and other user-defined identifiers are subject to this AUP, the Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, and all applicable Platform Policies. Sociala may restrict, reject, remove, rename, hide, age-gate, or disable such text where it is unlawful, deceptive, abusive, infringing, unsafe, misleading, age-inappropriate, or otherwise violates Platform Policies.

Users must not use the Platform to contact, target, exploit, groom, manipulate, endanger, harass, or abuse minors. Users must not upload, create, request, solicit, distribute, promote, monetize, threaten to share, link to, or attempt to obtain CSAM or CSAE-related content or conduct.

Child-safety concerns may be reported through in-app reporting tools or by contacting [email protected]. Sociala may remove content, restrict features, disable accounts, preserve records, cooperate with app stores or payment processors, and report confirmed or suspected child-safety violations to appropriate authorities where required or appropriate under applicable law.

Users must not use the Platform for pornographic content, sexually explicit solicitation, sexual services, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate content, sexualized harassment, or content or conduct that violates theCommunity Guidelines, app-store rules, payment processor rules, or applicable law.

Users must not use paid features, Paid Messages, Consultations, donations, Broadcasts, Smartlists, external links, or off-platform arrangements to solicit, promote, monetize, or facilitate sexually exploitative conduct or age-restricted adult services.

Users must not use the Platform to sell, promote, facilitate, coordinate, or provide access to illegal, restricted, regulated, or unsafe goods or services, including where doing so would violate law, app-store rules, payment processor rules, or Platform Policies.

This includes, without limitation, illegal drugs, controlled substances, dangerous substances, unlawful weapons, counterfeit goods, stolen goods, illegal gambling, unauthorized financial products, unlawful surveillance tools, malicious software, fraud services, human exploitation, illegal professional services, or other goods or services that Sociala determines present legal, safety, payment, app-store, or platform-integrity risk.

Users must not engage in scams, phishing, impersonation, deceptive offers, false endorsements, fake credentials, fake urgency, misleading monetization claims, deceptive subscriptions, fake investment or earnings claims, pyramid-style schemes, credential theft, identity theft, fake support contacts, misleading giveaways, or other fraudulent or deceptive conduct.

Users must not misrepresent the commercial nature, pricing, refundability, sponsorship, affiliation, expected outcome, content access, professional value, licensing status, or availability of any content, Consultation, subscription, donation, Smartlist, Paid Message, or other Platform feature.

Users must not infringe intellectual property rights, including by copying, distributing, sublicensing, monetizing, reselling, reposting, scraping, recording, screen recording, summarizing as a substitute, translating as a substitute, compiling, or otherwise exploiting another creator's content without authorization.

Users must not make another creator's paid content, or access to that paid content, available for free or outside the intended Platform purchase flow, including through free posts, free Channels, free Smartlists, messages, comments, screenshots, recordings, substitute summaries, substitute versions, transcripts, compilations, downloads, external links, or other means intended to bypass paid access.

The Platform hosts User Content. Each user is solely responsible for User Content and activity through their account. Each creator is solely responsible for their content, claims, statements, offers, services, representations, qualifications, pricing, disclosures, and compliance obligations.

• (e) restrict, manage, or avoid communications with other users;

Sociala may review reports, complaints, appeals, technical signals, automated detections, messages, Paid Messages, Consultation recordings, Consultation logs, transaction records, moderation logs, user behavior, and other Platform activity for safety, compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, child safety, enforcement, and platform-integrity purposes.

Sociala does not guarantee that all content will be reviewed before publication or that all objectionable content will be removed immediately. Users may be exposed to content they find objectionable. Users may report such content for review or use available blocking, filtering, or visibility tools.

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their accounts, passwords, authentication credentials, devices, email accounts, payout accounts, magic links, access links, and personal information.

Users must not:

• (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to another user's account, credentials, content, messages, payments, payout account, Consultation, Channel, Smartlist, administrative tools, data, or internal systems;
• (b) bypass, disable, defeat, reverse engineer, interfere with, or manipulate security features, authentication systems, access controls, age-assurance controls, parental consent flows, app-store controls, payment controls, fraud prevention systems, reporting systems, or platform protections;
• (c) test vulnerabilities, conduct penetration attempts, scan, probe, or exploit internal systems without Sociala's prior written authorization;
• (d) distribute malware, exploit code, malicious scripts, phishing tools, credential-stealing tools, harmful automation, or other harmful technical means;

• (f) interfere with, disrupt, overload, degrade, or impair the operation, stability, performance, security, or availability of the Platform;
• (g) manipulate subscription renewals, balance freezing, payment attempts, payout reviews, chargeback handling, referral attribution, app-store billing, purchase approvals, age-assurance flows, or transaction processing systems.

Any attempt to bypass or exploit renewal logic, frozen funds mechanics, payout reviews, charge attempts, chargebacks, fraud controls, age-assurance checks, parental consent flows, purchase approvals, moderation systems, or payment reconciliation processes is a material violation of this AUP.

Users must not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, data miners, scripts, browser automation, automated agents, artificial traffic, or similar means to access, extract, copy, index, collect, monitor, train on, reverse engineer, or analyze data, content, pricing, interactions, user information, messages, Smartlists, Consultations, or Platform systems without Sociala's prior written authorization.

Users must not use automation to create accounts, generate fake engagement, manipulate rankings, abuse referrals, exploit cashback, send mass messages, simulate Paid Message responses, manipulate Consultation attendance, evade fees, bypass purchase controls, scrape paid content, conduct spam, or overload Platform systems.

Users must not use AI-generated content, AI tools, automation, deepfakes, voice clones, synthetic media, or edited media in a way that deceives users, impersonates others, violates intellectual property rights, creates unsafe or exploitative content, bypasses moderation, misrepresents qualifications, generates fake engagement, or violates theCommunity Guidelines or Child Safety / CSAE Standards.

Where Sociala requires labeling, disclosure, verification, consent, or restriction of AI-generated, synthetic, edited, or automated content, users must comply with those requirements.

Users must not create, use, sell, transfer, rent, or coordinate accounts for the purpose of evading enforcement, sanctions screening, identity checks, age restrictions, parental consent requirements, payment processor rules, app-store rules, payout restrictions, referral rules, account limits, bans, moderation actions, or Platform Policies.

Users must not allow third parties to use their account, payout account, Consultation access link, magic link, Channel administration privileges, referral links, payment credentials, or identity verification to access features or receive benefits for which the third party is not eligible.

Multiple user accounts may not be linked to the same payout account where prohibited by the Terms of Use, Payment Systems Policy, Fees and Commissions Policy, or payout provider rules.

Users must not manipulate location, device, storefront, app-store installation source, age signals, user status, billing route, parental approval status, or account structure to obtain unauthorized access, avoid fees, bypass purchase rules, or evade compliance controls.

Content uploaded to the Platform must be original or used with proper authorization. Users must respect creators' pricing, access controls, monetization settings, reposting permissions, Smartlist permissions, distribution restrictions, age ratings, purchase ratings, and other Platform rules.

Users must not:

• (a) copy, distribute, sublicense, commercially exploit, resell, disclose, or otherwise use another creator's content except as expressly permitted by Sociala;
• (b) make another creator's paid content, or access to it, available for free or outside the authorized purchase flow;

• (f) circumvent Channel closure to new subscribers, Channel pause settings, subscription-access expiration controls, or other creator access-management settings;
• (h) attempt to obtain access to paid content, Channels, or subscriptions after a creator has closed enrollment, paused subscription collection, or otherwise restricted new access.
• (i) remove, hide, or misrepresent attribution, ownership, watermarks, metadata, labels, age ratings, content warnings, or access restrictions;
• (j) use purchased content to train, fine-tune, prompt, or operate AI or machine learning systems without authorization.

Use of another creator's paid content in a Smartlist is permitted only to the extent expressly allowed under theTerms of Use and applicable Platform Policies.

Nothing in this AUP limits any additional rights or remedies Sociala or a creator may have under the Terms of Use,Community Guidelines, copyright law, contract law, app-store rules, payment processor rules, or other applicable law.

Users must not use the Platform, off-platform communications, third-party tools, side agreements, links, QR codes, messaging, Broadcasts, Consultations, profile text, external payment services, alternate accounts, or any other arrangement to evade, reduce, avoid, distort, or manipulate Platform fees, app-store billing requirements, commissions, referral structures, payout controls, subscription mechanics, payment processing rules, fraud controls, moderation systems, or payment review processes.

• (f) concealing the commercial nature of transactions conducted through or in connection with the Platform;

• (i) creating artificial subscriptions, repeated subscribe-unsubscribe cycles, coordinated pause-resume activity, or other behavior intended to manipulate subscription metrics, payouts, refunds, referral attribution, or Platform economics.

All Platform fees, commissions, deductions, charges, app-store charges, withdrawal rules, refund rules, chargeback rules, holds, payout restrictions, and related financial rules continue to apply regardless of the payment method, billing route, country, device, app-store version, or platform used.

Any attempt to evade Platform fees, commissions, payment restrictions, payout controls, app-store billing rules, referral rules, monetization requirements, or safety controls may result in immediate enforcement action.

Users must not misuse messaging, Paid Messages, comments, replies, Broadcasts, notifications, Consultation chat, or other communication features.

Adults may not use Paid Messages to initiate paid contact with minors. Minors may not send or receive Paid Messages with adults. Sociala may use age category, parental consent status, account signals, safety signals, reports, blocks, and other Platform data to restrict or prevent Paid Messages involving minors or suspected minors.

Users must be able to report or block abusive users from within or in connection with messaging features where supported. Blocking a user may restrict or end further communication, subject to the Terms of Use and Refund Policy.

Channel Broadcasts are subject to heightened integrity requirements because they may be delivered using Sociala's technical infrastructure and may reach multiple users.

Violations involving Broadcasts may result in immediate suspension or termination of Broadcast privileges, Channel restrictions, loss of monetization, payout holds, content removal, or account suspension or termination.

Users must not misuse Consultation features, video sessions, coaching calls, advisory sessions, real-time communication services, scheduling systems, recording systems, magic links, feedback tools, no-show tools, or dispute systems available through the Platform.

Consultations are intended for users who are at least eighteen (18) years old. Minors may not book, purchase, offer, conduct, receive, or participate in paid Consultations unless Sociala expressly permits such access for a specific feature, jurisdiction, or use case and all required parental consent, age-assurance, recording consent, safety, and legal requirements have been satisfied.

Sociala may review Consultation recordings, attendance records, technical logs, participation records, consent records, moderation reports, fraud indicators, payment records, chargeback records, and related operational data for enforcement, moderation, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, payment review, compliance, safety, and Platform integrity purposes.

Users who do not consent to required recording, verification, or platform controls must not participate in Consultations.

Sociala may restrict features, content, purchases, interactions, messages, Consultations, Channels, Smartlists, Broadcasts, search visibility, recommendations, creator tools, monetization tools, or other Platform experiences based on age category, parental consent status, content rating, purchase rating, device settings, app-store approval status, region, applicable law, or safety concerns.

Users must not:

• (a) help a minor bypass age restrictions, parental consent requirements, app-store approvals, device controls, purchase approvals, content ratings, or Sociala safety controls;

Sociala is a platform provider and does not provide medical, legal, financial, tax, therapeutic, psychological, employment, immigration, investment, or other regulated professional advice.

Users and creators must not misrepresent professional qualifications, licenses, certifications, experience, authority, results, legal status, affiliations, endorsements, or ability to provide regulated services.

Creators offering educational content, coaching, advisory sessions, or Consultations are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy, disclosures, qualifications, licensing, safety, and compliance of their content and services.

Users should independently evaluate creator content and seek qualified professional advice where appropriate.

Sociala may restrict, remove, demonetize, age-gate, or require disclaimers for content, services, or Consultations involving regulated topics, sensitive topics, health-related topics, finance-related topics, legal topics, professional claims, or other areas that create legal, safety, app-store, payment, or user-protection risk.

Users are encouraged to report violations, suspicious behavior, unauthorized access attempts, fraud, impersonation, intellectual property abuse, child-safety concerns, harassment, exploitation, scams, payment abuse, Consultation abuse, messaging abuse, or other misuse of the Platform through in-app reporting tools, Platform support tools, or designated contact channels.

Reports should be made in good faith. Abuse of reporting systems, including knowingly false, retaliatory, coordinated, manipulative, or bad-faith reporting, may itself constitute a violation of Platform Policies.

Where supported, users may block users, restrict communication, manage visibility, hide content, filter objectionable content, submit feedback, report specific content or users, and appeal certain enforcement decisions.

Sociala may review reports and take action based on severity, risk, legal obligations, user safety, child safety, app-store requirements, payment risk, fraud risk, moderation history, available evidence, and Platform integrity.

Sociala does not guarantee any particular outcome from a report, complaint, block, appeal, or review request. Enforcement decisions remain within Sociala's discretion to the maximum extent permitted by law.

• (f) limitation of visibility, distribution, search, recommendation, or promotional eligibility;

• (l) any other action permitted by the Terms of Use, Platform Policies, applicable law, app-store rules, or payment processor rules.

Withholding, setoff, reversal, refund, payout delay, or forfeiture of unpaid earnings or funds is governed by theTerms of Use, Fees and Commissions Policy, Payment Systems Policy, Refund Policy, and applicable law.

Sociala may preserve records, logs, content, communications, Consultation recordings, reports, transaction records, payment records, age-assurance records, consent records, enforcement records, and related data where reasonably necessary or permitted for legal compliance, safety, child safety, moderation, fraud prevention, chargeback review, payment disputes, tax, accounting, app-store compliance, investigation, litigation, or enforcement.

Sociala may cooperate with app stores, payment processors, service providers, infrastructure providers, law enforcement, regulators, child-safety organizations, or other appropriate entities where required or appropriate under applicable law, Platform Policies, app-store rules, payment processor rules, or safety standards.

Sociala may modify or update this AUP from time to time. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, updates will become effective when posted on the Platform or otherwise communicated to users.

Some changes to this AUP or related Platform Policies may constitute significant changes under applicable law or app-store requirements, especially where changes affect minors, age assurance, parental consent, content categories, data categories, monetization features, paid interactions, advertisements, content ratings, purchase ratings, or user experience.

Where required, Sociala may provide notice, request user confirmation, notify app stores, request parental approval, restrict affected features, or delay implementation of a significant change until required approvals or confirmations are obtained.

By continuing to use the Platform after the updated AUP takes effect, users agree to the revised Policy, subject to any consent, parental approval, or app-store approval requirements that apply. Users who do not agree to the updated AUP must stop using the Platform.
