INTRODUCTION

Welcome to FaithMesh.io. We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all users, including employers, candidates, and community members. To maintain the integrity of our platform and ensure a positive experience for everyone, we have established this Acceptable Use Policy.

This policy outlines the rules and guidelines that govern your use of FaithMesh.io, including job listings, community forums, verification services, and all other features of our platform. By accessing or using FaithMesh.io, you agree to comply with this Acceptable Use Policy and any additional terms that may apply to specific services.

Please review this policy carefully to understand your responsibilities when using FaithMesh.io. We recommend that you also consult our Employer Terms / Terms of Service (as may be applicable to you) for additional information on terms applicable to you when you use our platform. If you have questions or need further clarification about this policy, please contact us at success@faithmesh.io.

1. THINGS TO DO:

   1. Follow the Rules and Laws: Always make sure you’re following the laws that apply to you, whether they’re local, state, or national. This includes rules about employment, anti-discrimination, and protecting privacy.

   2. Be Honest: When you post job listings, create a profile, or provide any other information on the Platform, make sure everything is truthful and accurate. Keeping your details up to date is important, too.

   3. Treat Everyone with Respect: This is a shared space where employers, candidates, and community members come together. Always treat others respectfully and professionally. Avoid using offensive or harmful language.

   4. Use the Platform the Right Way: FaithMesh.io is designed to help connect people and provide resources. Use it for its intended purpose - posting jobs, participating in discussions, and verifying identities - not for anything unrelated.

   5. Keep Your Account Secure: Protect your login information and don’t share your password. If you think someone else has accessed your account, let us know right away so we can help.

   6. Post Content Thoughtfully: Make sure anything you share on the Platform, whether it’s a comment, a job listing, or a photo, follows the rules in our Content Guidelines.

   7. Report Issues: If you see something that doesn’t seem right - whether it’s offensive content or behaviour that violates this policy - let us know by emailing success@faithmesh.io.

   8. Respect Ownership: If you’re posting content like photos or job descriptions, make sure you own the rights or have permission to use them. Don’t use anything that belongs to someone else without their approval.

   9. Act in Good Faith: FaithMesh.io is meant to be a positive and constructive space. Use it with the intent to build a helpful and safe community.

   5. Spam or Overpost: Don’t flood the Platform with duplicate content, spam messages, or excessive postings. This behaviour disrupts the experience for others.

   6. Violate Intellectual Property Rights: Don’t use or share content that you don’t have the right to use, including copyrighted materials, trademarks, or proprietary information of others.

   7. Share Harmful Content: Avoid posting anything that could be harmful, offensive, or inappropriate, such as hate speech, explicit material, or malicious links.
