In principle, all actions are considered appropriate use which will allow a User stay up to date with the development of Collabwith Academy and its products and/or allow the User to gain additional information about an investment round set up by a User.

Unacceptable behaviour shall include the following, but is not limited to this list:

Rude and inappropriate language

The Collabwith Academy community aims to maintain professional integrity and the use of rude and inappropriate language does not fall in line with our beliefs. In order to promote collaboration, we need to pay close attention to what we say and how we say things. Respect for eachother is the cornerstone of a successful collaboration. Meanwhile, kind words create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their business ideas, propelling innovation.

Misrepresentation / Inauthentic behaviour

Inauthentic behaviour and misrepresentation of your business/startup/academic background or university association may create confusion and distrust in the community. When making an account on the Collabwith Academy website, it is crucial that only truthful information is shared and dissiminated. Fake accounts and fake projects are not tolerated on the platform. Our authenticity policies are intended to create a safe environment where people can trust and hold one another accountable. If Collabwith Academy discovers that a user misrepresents themself on the platform or lies about their identity/role in a business, shall be removed from the platform.

Unprofessional Behaviour

In order to maintain a certain level of professionalism on the platform, we expect users to behave and communicate in a professional manner. Using the best of your own judgement to determine professional behaviour is advisable. Generally, this means that users should communicate using appropriate language and share information solely related to the project or collaboration at hand. Having personal conversations cannot be controlled by Collabwith Academy. If a User’s unprofessional behaviour is reported, they shall be removed from the platform.

Spam

All collaborations and posts on the marketplace is highly encouraged! We love to see projects develop and people connecting using the Collabwith Academy platform.

Any attempts to gather sensitive information by deception shall be considered abusive. Any identification of such behaviour will result in the immediate removal of such User from the platform.

Hate Speech / Discrimination

Collabwith Academy has a zero tolerance policy for hate speech and/or discrimination. These actions create an environment of exclusion which goes against Collabwith Academy’s beliefs. Encouraging a platform for collaboration needs to be inclusive, regardless of any differences between people. We must acknowledge that Users come from all over the world and may behave differently. Helping your community understand what is appropriate and what is not will help shape a better society. Anyone experiencing hate speech and/or discrimination should immediately report the User.

The User will ensure that their equipment is adequately secured and their software is protected against viruses and other potentially damaging factors.
