HARASSMENT: Independent Creators and Users are prohibited from harassing other Users or Independent Creators. The Platform does not tolerate any form of harassment or attacks against other Creators or Users, including but not limited to, actions occurring within the Platform's own environment or its affiliated Social Media Networks. While we strive to maintain a respectful and safe community, we cannot control or verify comments made on external social media networks (e.g., Twitter, Instagram). Therefore, while we strongly discourage such behavior, the responsibility for monitoring and acting upon such incidents rests with the respective social media platforms. Harassment or attacks that occur on the Platform will result in a ban ranging from three days to permanent, depending on the severity of the offense. It is important to note that if the harassment and or attacks of any kind continue against other users of the Platform, this will constitute a continuing violation of the Code of Conduct, which will require further actions, including a permanent suspension of your account. Each case will be investigated and addressed carefully to ensure that the harassment and or attacks stop. In some cases, and at our discretion, if we observe harassing behavior outside of our website or social media networks that we consider to be a clear attack against another creator, and we believe it is unacceptable, we may ban the account responsible for the harassment. This action will only be taken if there is no doubt that harassment towards another creator on the platform has occurred, and only if we deem it appropriate. The Platform will not report the matter to the authorities, as it is not among our responsibilities. However, all affected parties are encouraged to do so, and we will provide any supporting documentation if requested by the authorities.
SITE SECURITY: The Platform has various security features, and Independent Creators and Users shall not try to defeat or circumvent those security features in any way. Independent Creators and Users will not introduce any malicious code or attempt to otherwise interfere with the operation or security of the Platform or provide links to third party sites on the Platform.

Moreover, Independent Creators and Users will not wear anything resembling religious attire, regardless of the intent or the religion being depicted.
NON-DISPARAGEMENT: Independent Creators and Users agree not to disparage, defame, or criticize the Platform and Tech 555 Inc either verbally or in writing. They additionally agree not to encourage others to make verbal or written statements disparaging, defaming, or criticizing Tech 555 Inc and the Platform.

IDENTITY: Independent Creators and Users shall not attempt to hide or conceal their identities to Tech 555 Inc.
