Last updated: 12 April 2026

Unisphere HQ Limited ("UnisphereHQ", "we", "us", "our") is building a platform where professionals and creators connect authentically. These Community Guidelines set the standard for behaviour across all of UnisphereHQ — including communities, messaging, posts, events, and all user interactions. These guidelines form part of our Terms of Service. Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

By using UnisphereHQ, you agree to follow these guidelines. Violations may result in content removal, account restrictions, or permanent suspension.

1. Age Requirement

UnisphereHQ is for users aged 18 and over. If we become aware that someone under 18 is using the platform, their account will be terminated and their data deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6. Community Management

Community Administrators

• Community administrators are responsible for enforcing these guidelines within their communities.

• Administrators must not abuse their position to harass, discriminate against, or unfairly target members.

Paid Communities

• Misleading descriptions of paid community benefits may result in community removal.

7. AI Features (UVA)

• Do not attempt to manipulate or exploit AI features for harmful purposes.
• Do not use AI-generated content to impersonate real people or spread misinformation.
• Remember that AI responses are generated by machine learning models and may not always be accurate.

8. Events

• Event hosts are responsible for the accuracy of event information.
• Do not create events for fraudulent purposes or to mislead attendees.
• Cancelled events should be communicated to attendees promptly.

9. Enforcement

Violations of these guidelines may result in:

1. Warning — A notification explaining the violation and expected behaviour change.
2. Content Removal — Removal of specific content that violates guidelines.
3. Temporary Restriction — Temporary suspension of certain account features.
4. Account Suspension — Temporary suspension of the entire account.
5. Permanent Ban — Permanent removal from UnisphereHQ.

The severity of the response depends on the nature and frequency of violations. Serious violations (such as illegal activity, threats of violence, or child exploitation material) will result in immediate permanent ban and reporting to relevant authorities.
