Community Guidelines 

Last Updated, August 10, 2023

Our Community Guidelines along with relevant portions of the Terms of Service (collectively, the "Guidelines") govern your relationship with and use of Cupix and are enforced by us, the admins.

Cupix is committed to providing a happy, safe and healthy community environment for all community members. Cupix intends to show ordinary, real, and diverse communities of people through the livestreams. We are a platform of neutrality where users can converse and discover the world around them through livestreams.
To accomplish this, we generally allow Cupix users to moderate and curate their own content but also have set basic Guidelines to protect the safety and privacy of our users and others. To that end, our Guidelines are based on Equality, Unbiasedness, Respect, and Law.

You must follow each of the below "Overarching Principles," as well as any other principles outlined in the Guidelines. Users who violate any of the Guidelines may be restricted, suspended, or otherwise banned, at our sole discretion. Again, our hope is that the Cupix community is defined by you, but the Cupix admins must reserve the right to revoke access or remove content for any reason, without notice, especially when it comes to the safety and privacy of our users and others.

Overarching Principles

  • No attacks on others.All Cupix users are humans, which means they FEEL. We strictly do not allow harassment, bullying, identity-based attacks, racism, impersonation, threats, advocation, or provocation of violence on our platform.
  • No violations of privacy.You may not post others’ confidential, non-consensual, and/or sensitive details or impersonate others. Further, you may not post or threaten to post intimate or sexually-explicit media without the subject’s consent.
  • No illegality or tortious activity. You may not post anything that is illegal, tortious, or that violates any law or regulation, nor may you use Cupix to solicit or facilitate illegal, tortious, or prohibited activities or transactions, including but not limited to those involving controlled substances or contraband.
  • No explicit or suggestive content involving minors.You may not post or encourage others to post sexual or suggestive content involving minors.
  • No spamming, phishing, bots or malicious software. You may not post, distribute, facilitate, or use Cupix in furtherance of phishing schemes, spam, malware, or other malicious code, nor may you use bots on Cupix.
  • No sexually explicit content or nudity. You may not post genitals, sexual acts or sex toys while using Cupix.

In order to be more fair and transparent, we have different alert provisions to implement these guidelines, including but not limited to temporary suspension of accounts, deletion of account or device ban fully revoking access to the Cupix platform. And we will make decisions according to the severity of violations. The final interpretation right belongs to Cupix.

Safety

Content Moderation

If someone has not violated any of the Rules, but you would still prefer not to interact with them, here are some tools you can utilize.

Anyone can decide who they interact with:

Leave Group or live: You can leave the group or live at any time. To do so, navigate to the group settings and tap on the button "Leave this Group".

Block: You can block a user at any time. After block, you and the people you block can't join each other's group.

Reporting Violations


Cupix is content-neutral, such that we won’t remove posts or users based solely on their expressed viewpoints.

That said, to ensure the safety and privacy of our users and others, Cupix relies upon its users to report violations of these Guidelines.

To report a violation for a user, a video and a comment:
  • Visit the relevant user’s profile page and click the horizontal dots in the top right, and select "Report"
  • Select a reason
  • Provide Description(option but important) as much detail as possible and attach screenshots as evident.

Here’s what you should know about reporting another user for a Rule violation:

  • If you submit a report, we will not share your identity with the person you are reporting.
  • Please submit a report with attached evidence (screenshot, picture) or we can’t enforce it without them.
  • All reports that are submitted will be reviewed and investigated. The need for any type of corrective or disciplinary action needed will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
  • We seek to be fair, consistent, and responsive in addressing all reported incidents.
  • If the violation directly targeted you, we will share certain information about the process and resolution with you (e.g., the stage of the investigation, any concerns that you may be at risk for immediate harm, information on how the resolution could impact you).
  • Intentional, false reports of violations are treated as a violation of the Rules.
If another user has reported you for violating a Rule, here’s what you should know:

  • If a report has been filed against you, we will review and investigate your case. We may keep some details private in order to protect the reporting user(s).
  • After reviewing your case, if you violated the community guidelines, you will receive notifications in the App, if you are not violated them, you won’t receive any notifications.
  • We will notify you of the result of the investigation and its potential impact on you.
  • If you believe a report has been falsely filed against you or you would like to appeal a decision, please click "Appeal" and submit as much context (words, video, picture) as possible. If your case was appealed successfully, your account will be restored. If not, you can resubmit the second appeal, which would be the final review of your account.
  • Any attempt to retaliate against users who participate in reporting or investigation is a violation.

We understand that not all Cupix users will share our views as to what constitutes a violation of these Community Guidelines. However, to operate a functional platform, we must reserve the right to determine in our sole discretion what constitutes a violation.

Before reporting violations, please keep in mind that people have differing opinions, reporting doesn’t guarantee a certain result, and we reserve the right to decide whether to remove content or users at our sole discretion. For additional details see Section 9 of the Terms of Use.
