These are the terms for members of IMC Institute, in plain words. They sit beside the community guidelines and the privacy notice. They are not legal advice.
Your account
- One person, one account. Use your own name or a fair pseudonym, keep your password to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.
- Approval. New accounts may wait for a moderator. We may decline an account, and we say why.
- Leaving. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.
How to take part
- Be honest and civil. No harassment, spam, impersonation or misleading claims. Do not post other people's personal data or anything confidential.
- Disclose relationships. If you work for, partner with, resell or are paid by a listed platform or agency, say so on your helper profile and on every offer. You may not rate or review something you are connected to.
- Sources over opinions. Facts about a listing need a source the moderators can check.
The help board
Help can be free or paid. Any fee is agreed directly between the two members, off the site. IMC Institute is not a party to that agreement, never handles money or payment details, and does not guarantee anyone's work.
Points and badges
Points and badges are reputation only. They have no cash value and cannot be bought, sold or transferred.
What you post
You keep the rights to what you write. By posting it you let IMC Institute show it on the site and in its open feeds and API, and edit it for length and clarity without changing its meaning. Moderators may decline or remove anything that breaks these terms.
Changes
If these terms change, this page is updated. You can always delete your account instead of accepting a change.
