• Misinformation that poses immediate risk.
• Spam, fake reviews, engagement bait, bots, or automation without permission.
• Solicitation for paid adult services or exploitative content.

uNepal is a community-first platform, not a broker. You are responsible for legal compliance and honesty in listings.

• Circles and moderation: Circle creators and admins must moderate effectively and fairly in line with global uNepal rules.
• Local privacy warning: Joining hyper-local groups can reveal approximate demographic or suburb-level signals.
• Pages: Use Pages for official updates, offers, and service info. Keep business identity current.
• Directory: Only legitimate businesses. Verified badges, if offered, can be removed for misuse.

• Quality through voting: Our discussion forums rely on user voting to surface quality content.
• Downvoting rules: Downvoting is meant for low-quality content, off-topic spam, or misleading information, not harmless disagreement.
• Vote manipulation: Coordinated brigading against a specific user or group is considered harassment.

• News: Clearly state sources, distinguish reporting from opinion, and avoid plagiarism.
• Blogs: Use your own words, cite references, and debate ideas rather than attacking people.
• Recipes: Share ingredients and steps, and use your own photos or licensed images.

• No spam or mass unsolicited messages.
• No harassment, stalking, threats of physical harm, or pressure for money or sensitive documents.
• Keep disagreements civil. Attack ideas, not people.
• Do not publish private messages without consent unless reporting abuse to us.
• Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, so avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial details.
• Use block, mute, and report tools when someone is abusive or unsafe.

• Reviews must reflect first-hand experience. No review swaps or paid or fake ratings.
• Businesses and Pages may reply politely to feedback but must not disclose private customer information.
• Coordinated brigading to manipulate ratings is prohibited.

• Get consent before posting identifiable photos or videos of others.
• Take extra care with minors. Avoid school uniforms, precise locations, and full names.
• Remove media upon a valid privacy request, such as a parent requesting removal of a child's image.

These are informational tools only, not financial, legal, medical, or migration advice.

• Financial data: Market data is informational only. uNepal is not a registered financial adviser or broker.
• Forex and calculators: Informational only. Verify with official sources before decisions.
• Astrology and Rashifal: Provided for entertainment purposes only.

• Do not flood feeds. Reposting identical promos daily or blasting multiple Circles will be treated as spam.
• Disclose paid partnerships or sponsorships with clear labels.
• Keep promotions accurate. No bait pricing or bait-and-switch.
• Advertisers and brands are legally responsible for the claims, offers, and compliance of their own ads.

We look at severity, intent, impact, and history. Possible actions include:

• Educate and nudge: Labels, edit suggestions, re-categorise, or merge duplicates.
• Remove or limit: Delete content, hide it from discovery, limit posting or messaging, or require verification.
• Suspend: Temporary account restriction.
• Ban: Permanent removal for egregious or repeated violations.
• Device ban: Permanent device-level restrictions for severe abuse or repeated enforcement evasion.
• Escalate: Contact venues, platforms, or authorities where legally required or to prevent harm.

• Tap Report on any post, profile, or listing, or email hello@unepal.com for urgent issues.
• Use block or mute tools immediately if another user is abusive or unsafe.
• Include links, screenshots, and a short description of the problem.
• We prioritise valid child-safety and serious-abuse reports for action within 24 hours.
• If your post is removed or your account restricted, you can appeal within 14 days.

• Do not use uNepal's brand, logos, or UI elements without permission.
• Do not imitate official government or emergency service logos, and clearly identify parody or satire.

• Politics and public interest: Debate is welcome; hate or targeted harassment is not.
• Health and crisis events: Avoid harmful misinformation and link to official guidance when in doubt.
• Fundraising: Be transparent about who receives funds, how, and through what platform.

We may update these Guidelines as features or laws change. Major updates will be announced in-app. Questions or feedback can be sent to hello@unepal.com.
