Community Guidelines

This Community Guidelines (“Guideline”) contains overall use and guidelines of NURITOPIA and its services, provided by NuriFlex Holdings Inc. and/or Nuriworld DMCC.

NURITOPIA is a platform that empowers users, creators, and builders to connect and create beyond physical boundaries. We want our community to thrive on our platform with the many features we provide to support their creativity, free expression, and meaningful connections.

However, when it comes to providing a safe environment for our community, NURITOPIA has strict guidelines. At NURITOPIA, we do not allow content or conduct that impedes other user's safety.

Our Community Guidelines apply to all content, behavior, and interactions in our platform, including but not limited : ID, profile, hashtags, comments, feed, posts, live streams, video (and video descriptions), and any other NURITOPIA product or feature, as well as external links that direct users to other sites or forms, and etc.

We are committed to being transparent, fair, and firm in our enforcement of Community Guidelines, grounded by our key policy values of safety, inclusion, diversity, dignity, and creativity.

Minority Safety

Minors' protection and safety are NURITOPIA's key priority. Violation of minor safety policy is one of the most serious violations of NURITOPIA's community guidelines. NURITOPIA bans sexual, suggestive, or abusive content involving minors under the age of 18 (or younger where applicable by jurisdiction), or someone who appears to be a minor, including NURITOPIA avatars.

We will immediately and permanently ban accounts that engage in Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) and report instances of child sexual exploitation, grooming, and illegal content to authorities.

We will also take off-platform behaviors into consideration when reviewing accounts for Community Guidelines violations if we become aware of harmful behaviors toward minors off-platform with credible evidence.

Prohibited activities :

  • post, share, or solicit any content, including animation or digitally-created or manipulated contents, that depicts abuse, exploitation, or endangerment of minors

We want to create a respectful, inclusive, and safe environment for our community. Therefore, we do not allow sexually explicit content. This rule applies to real-world content, digitally created content, and content featuring NURITOPIA avatars.

Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Sharing of content that promotes, normalizes or glorifies non-consensual sexual acts, sexual violence, or sex trafficking is strictly prohibited. We will immediately and permanently ban any account that posts and shares non-consensual intimate media.

Suicide and Self-Harm

We care deeply about the health and well-being of all members of our community, including our users, creators, and builders. We recognize the importance of raising awareness for mental health and understand sharing stories of contemplating self-harm can help people get the support they need.

But we are mindful of the impact that content on suicide or self-harm may have on those who view them and therefore limit the content that could inadvertently encourage suicide or self-harm.

We define suicide as the act of taking one's life. We define self-harm to include committing acts of self-injury and eating disorders.

We do not allow content that depicts, encourages, routinizes, or glorifies dangerous behavior that could lead to suicide, self-harm, or disability, including graphic images or digital depictions of self-harm. We do not allow sensitive or hurtful content and conduct targeting people who died by suicide, people who self-harm, or suicide survivors.

If you are struggling with suicide, self-harm thoughts, or know someone seriously considering suicide, we recommend immediately contacting your local emergency services or suicide prevention organization. We may alert local emergency services if we identify immediate and credible threats of suicide or self-harm.

Prohibited activities :

  • promote, glorify, or normalize suicide or self-harm
  • provide instructions on suicide or self-harm
  • post graphic content or descriptions of suicide or self-harm
