ICONICLIs Community Standards

Last Updated: October 2023-07-17

Introduction

ICONICLI is a platform aiming to democratize and innovate the modeling, creative, and marketing industries. Our mission is to foster global diversity, acceptance, and facilitate a broader understanding and acceptance of our diverse global societies. Our community of Models, Brands, and Partners around the globe uses ICONICLI daily, creating impactful and valuable content they are proud of. They use it for growth, marketing strategies, and to create a strong presence in their respective industries. Their inspirational efforts reinforce our motto, "The One for All."

Our community standards, which reflect our core values of Safety, Diversity, Fun, and Creativity, serve as a guideline for behavior within our community. While not legally binding, these standards define platform policies, shape social norms, and establish expectations for our users. These standards are designed to evolve and adapt, just like our diverse and dynamic community. They contain examples of activities deemed unacceptable on ICONICLI, serving as reference points and not exhaustive directives.

We strongly encourage our community members to use our reporting tools for any content or behavior they deem unacceptable. We respectfully ask everyone to adhere to these guidelines, promoting a respectful, enjoyable, and creative community experience for all."

Integrity and Authenticity

Misrepresentation

Misrepresentation refers to fraudulent, negligent, or innocent misstatements, or the omission of a material fact. These acts are against our policy as they disrupt the trust and transparency we aim to foster within the ICONICLI community.

Maintaining Accurate Profile Information

Please avoid:

• Providing false personal details like name, location, gender, age, or portfolio content.

• Duplicating descriptions, photos, or from other users.

• Supplying fraudulent identification documents when requested.

• Incorporating misleading data in your profile description, skills, or education.

• Sharing misleading or incorrect information during chat conversations with other users.

• Posting non-original content, or content you do not have the rights to use on your profile.

Remember, honesty in your profile promotes a trustworthy community environment.

Maintaining Genuine Gig and profile Elements

Please avoid:

• Duplicating Gig descriptions, photos, or titles from other users.

• Reducing the Gig Payment Amount in private messages before or after booking an Icon.

• Posting non-original images or images you do not have the rights to use in your Gig or profile.

Promoting Authenticity

Please avoid:

• Requesting or offering services designed to deceive others.

• Generating false engagement or traffic such as offering or requesting followers, subscribers, fans, or views on social media platforms.

• Making promises about a service outcome that is not within your control.

Remember, Models are discouraged from making guarantees about outcomes that are not under their direct control, as this can mislead Brands.

Respecting Third-Party Terms

Please avoid:

• Offering, requesting, or posting services that infringe upon third-party terms of service.

As esteemed ICONICLI community members, we ask you to respect the larger Internet community and abstain from such infringements. Services flagged for violations of third-party terms of service will be removed from the marketplace.

Promoting Ethical Services

ICONICLI's marketplace is designed to support Models in offering modeling services. In this spirit, we kindly ask you to avoid providing any services that may be deemed unethical.

Respecting Boundaries: Avoid Spam

On ICONICLI, we consider spam to be any unwanted, repetitive, and disruptive messaging activity. This can include unsolicited offers, commercially-driven solicitations, or efforts to drive attention towards external websites, products, or services.

We ask you to respect the privacy of our members by limiting your communication to discussions directly related to Gigs.

Please avoid:

1. Contacting our users about offers, questions, suggestions, or anything not directly related to their Gigs or offers.

2. Sending numerous unsolicited or misleading messages.

3. Misusing our communication tools to distribute mass messages.

Objectionable Content

Promoting Respect: No Room for Hate Speech

ICONICLI identifies hate speech as language or ideas aimed to incite violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on attributes such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or other similar aspects. We believe that the propagation of hate speech not only affects those directly targeted but also negatively influences our society, including advocates for freedom, tolerance, and non-discrimination.

While ICONICLI staunchly upholds the principle of freedom of expression---which encompasses not just positive, neutral, or harmless ideas but also those expressions that some might find offensive, shocking, or disturbing---we are equally committed to swiftly investigating any behavior reported as hate speech. We respond in alignment with applicable laws and the company's core values.

We take violations involving hate speech seriously. Any users employing hate speech towards other members or our customer support representatives will face removal from ICONICLI. We will also act against any user requesting or promoting hate speech-related content on ICONICLI.

Please avoid:

1. Using language that is violent or dehumanizing towards individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or similar attributes.

2. Publishing, offering, or requesting any content that endorses discriminatory ideas.

We do permit the offer or request for content related to the study of hate speech or initiatives aimed at preventing hate speech.

Promoting Equality: No Room for Discrimination

ICONICLI defines discrimination as unfair or unequal treatment of an individual or group based on aspects such as age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, race, or religion under our community standards.

We address allegations of discrimination on a case-by-case basis, committed to defending the rights of vulnerable groups whenever possible.

Please avoid:

1. Demonstrating reluctance or refusal to work with individuals or groups based on their age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, race, religion, or any similar attributes.

2. Publishing, offering, or requesting any content that endorses discriminatory ideas.

Preserving Decency: No Adult Content, Nudity, or Sexual Activity

Please avoid sharing explicit content intended for sexual gratification on ICONICLI. Any detected or reported sexually explicit content will be blocked, with potential consequences including a ban from the marketplace. Gigs depicting violent, graphic, or humiliating fetishes are strictly prohibited.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for sexually explicit content involving minors or content that seeks to exploit minors. Violations of this policy are immediately reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which collaborates with law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Documentary Exception Rule

While ICONICLI generally restricts nudity, exceptions are made when the primary purpose is educational, scientific, or artistic, and isn't gratuitous. For instance, a video ordered by a midwife demonstrating proper breastfeeding techniques would be acceptable. However, using clips from the same film out of context for sexual gratification wouldn't be permissible. Out-of-context nudity from indigenous communities, protests, medical procedures, childbirth, artistic performances, breastfeeding, or similar situations may not qualify under our documentary exception.

Please avoid posting, offering, or asking for:

1. Nude or adult-themed images or videos.

2. References to sex or sexual partners.

3. Sex chats or explicit conversations.

4. Execution of fetish scenarios.

5. Sexually gratifying modeling.

6. Content that displays explicit sexual activity, unless it fits within the 'documentary exception' criteria.

Transactions involving child nudity will be promptly blocked, and the related account flagged for review.

Intellectual Property Rights

The content on ICONICLI largely consists of User Generated Content (UGC). If you suspect that any uploaded content infringes upon your copyright or a related exclusive right, we urge you to follow the procedure outlined in our IP Claims Policy, accessible through the provided link.

Upon receiving a report from a rights holder or their authorized representative, we will act to remove or restrict content involved in:

1. Copyright infringement

2. Trademark infringement

Violence and Criminal Behavior

Threats

Even casual threats or expressions of violence can risk the safety of our community. Although we strive to consider the context and language, we prioritize safety above all. Any credible threats will result in immediate action from ICONICLI, potentially involving law enforcement.

Please avoid:

1. Threatening violence against any community member.

Incitement

Incitement, or urging others to commit illegal activities, can be a crime in itself.

Please avoid:

1. Encouraging or instructing individuals to engage in illegal activities.

2. Participating in activities of questionable legality.

Terrorism

Terrorist organizations often use online platforms to disseminate propaganda and foster harmful activities. We are committed to mitigating this global security threat.

Please avoid offering or requesting:

1. The promotion of terrorist activities.

2. Services or products related to terrorist organizations or acts.

3. Creation of content linked to terrorist acts.

4. Recruitment for terrorist organizations.

However, content related to the research or prevention of terrorism is permitted.

Safety

ICONICLI is deeply concerned about the wellbeing of its community members. If you encounter a user expressing suicidal thoughts or engaging in self-harm, alert local authorities immediately and report the content to our Customer Support Team.

If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts or self-harm, we implore you to seek immediate assistance. For 24-hour free, confidential, and immediate support, please see: Befrienders Worldwide - Global Suicide Prevention
