Community Guidelines

These Community Guidelines are to be considered part of the full Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Terms of Sale as outlined at https://verysmartdesign.com/about/terms. At Clique, our mission is to provide tools to build the most creative, categorized, connected and empowered digital playground where members of all types can interact positively and safely. To achieve this goal, we ask that all users participate in such a way that promotes a friendly, encouraging and reinforcing experience for our global community. To protect the integrity of our community, as the provider of the service, we at Clique and Very Smart Design reserve the right to suspend any account at any time for any conduct that we determine to be inappropriate or harmful. You are free to appeal your suspension, but we are not required to provide a reason for our decision.

For minor first and second suspensions, your access to the site will be restricted for 24 hours, but there is no fixed time for the length of subsequent suspensions or suspensions for severe violations. We will consider appeals of indefinite suspensions based on our review of your conduct, account standing, and any other information we have. Our Customer Support and Moderation teams review all requests for reinstatement, and we process these along with all other support requests. In addition to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Sale and Terms of Service, we provide the following guidelines for all user conduct and content on our services. These guidelines fall under a common sense philosophy and apply to all user generated content and activity on our services. Violating our Terms or Community Guidelines may lead to the suspension of your account and access to our services, as well as the removal of any associated content. You may not encourage or promote any activity that violates our Terms or Guidelines. This is considered a living document that we regularly update based on the evolution of the Clique Network community and Services.

Categorize your Content Appropriately
You are required to categorize your content appropriately. If there are multiple appropriate games or categories, you are welcome to choose whichever you feel is most appropriate. If there is not an appropriate category for your content, please set your content to "Other" if given the choice, instead of using an inappropriate option.

Comments / Reviews
When leaving comments or reviews on content, keep them relevant to the content you are discussing. When posting reviews, include clear, valuable, and honest information, and do not post fake reviews intended to boost or lower ratings. When posting on content of friends, and especially when commenting on other members of the community, try to be respectful and coherent. Speaking of respecting others, make sure that the things you post publicly follow the behavioral guidelines below to avoid suspension and bans.

Unauthorized Sharing of Private Information
Do not invade the privacy of others. It is prohibited to share content that may reveal private personal information about individuals, or their private residence, without permission. This includes but is not limited to: Sharing personally identifiable information (such as real name, location, or ID), Sharing restricted or protected social profiles or any information from those profiles, or sharing content obtained from filming or streaming in a manner that invades another’s privacy and/or takes place on private property, without permission.

Unauthorized Content Sharing, Copyright Violations and Infringements
Uploading any content that you do not own, do not have the rights to, or are otherwise not authorized to use, violates our Terms of Service and may make your account liable to DMCA takedowns by third-party rights holders. We do not tolerate, for example: intentionally recreating other Clique members’ unique content and labeling it as your own original creation, or uploading content from other sites without permission of the copyright owner. When creating content on or uploading to Clique or Very Smart Design , you should create content that is original or you can share content that you are authorized to share. Content that involves replicas, derivative creations, or performances of others’ copyrighted content may violate another’s intellectual property and be subject to a takedown by a rights holder. We encourage creators to assess their content for adherence to applicable copyright laws, including fair use, and to secure all appropriate rights if needed, before sharing the content on Clique and Very Smart Design . Also, keep in mind Clique applies a repeat infringer policy; multiple copyright strikes on your account will lead to a permanent suspension of your account.
