📋 Terms of Service & Community Guidelines

Age Requirement

We take age verification seriously to ensure our community remains appropriate and safe for all participants.

Core Community Values

1. Be Respectful and Kind

• Treat all users and consultants with courtesy and empathy. Remember that behind every screen is a real person.
• Engage in constructive and supportive communication. Disagreements are natural, but personal attacks, insults, or demeaning language are never acceptable.
• Use positive and encouraging language when providing feedback.

2. Zero Tolerance for Bullying & Harassment

• Any form of bullying, harassment, intimidation, or hate speech is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, derogatory comments based on appearance, background, identity, or beliefs.
• Do not share private information about others without their explicit consent.
• If you encounter or witness bullying, please report it immediately using our in-app reporting tools.
• We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment. Violations will result in account suspension or termination.

3. Maintain a Safe & Comfortable Space

• Keep conversations appropriate for a supportive consultation environment. Avoid sharing explicit, offensive, or graphic content.
• Respect personal boundaries. Do not pressure others to share information they are uncomfortable with.
