  • Honor Commitments: Meet agreed-upon deadlines, deliver work as specified, and honor payment terms. If circumstances change, communicate promptly and work toward fair solutions.
  • Respect Intellectual Property: Protect confidential information, respect copyright and licensing agreements, and only share work you have rights to distribute.

5. Content Guidelines

Profile Content: All profile information must be accurate, professional, and appropriate. Avoid misleading claims, inappropriate images, or content that violates intellectual property rights.

Job Postings: Job descriptions must clearly state requirements, deliverables, and compensation. Do not post jobs seeking illegal activities, containing discriminatory requirements, or offering unrealistic terms.

Communications: Keep all project-related communications professional and on-platform. Do not share inappropriate content, make threats, or use abusive language.

6. Reporting Violations

If you witness or experience a violation of this Code of Conduct, please report it immediately:

  • Use the "Report" feature on any profile, job posting, or message
  • Contact our support team with details of the incident
  • Include relevant screenshots, messages, or documentation

All reports are treated confidentially. We prohibit retaliation against users who report violations in good faith. False reports made with malicious intent are themselves a violation of this code.

7. Enforcement

We take violations seriously and investigate all reports thoroughly. Consequences are proportional to the severity and frequency of violations:

  • Warning: First-time minor violations typically receive a formal warning with guidance on expected behavior
  • Temporary Suspension: Repeated violations or more serious misconduct may result in temporary account suspension (7-30 days)
  • Permanent Ban: Severe violations, fraud, or continued misconduct after warnings will result in permanent removal from the platform
  • Legal Action: In cases involving illegal activity, fraud, or significant harm, we may pursue legal remedies

Users may appeal enforcement decisions by contacting our support team within 14 days. Appeals are reviewed by a senior team member not involved in the original decision.

8. Our Commitment

CNXION is committed to maintaining a trusted, professional community. We continuously monitor platform activity, respond promptly to reports, and update our standards as needed. Our goal is to ensure that every client finds excellent AI and blockchain talent, and every service provider has access to meaningful projects in a safe, fair environment.
