Pellea Fitness is an online and offline community and marketplace dynamic sub-platform operated by Pellea Inc.

While we believe the free and open exchange of ideas, products or services is a key tenet of commerce, there are some activities that are incompatible with Pellea Fitness’s mission to make our online and offline community and marketplace dynamic sub-platform better for members (“customers” or “clients”), vendors (“merchants” or “suppliers”) and affiliates (“associates”).

[Re: Report AUP Violation]

Illegitimate Profile: You may not create more than one Profile. Duplicating, faking, and joking profiles are not allowed. The first profile that you create must be you and is the only one that you may have. Our trust network needs everyone to stand by his or her reputation.

Don’t Attack Others or Their Content: Personal attacks are not allowed on Pellea, nor are disrespectful or insulting attacks directed at others and their contributions to the community. See Pellea’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Terms of Service for more information.

Retaliation Is Not Okay: It is never okay to violate Pellea’s Policies, even in response to another person who has done so.

THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES ARE ALLOWED:

Be Considerate and Respectful: This is a core Pellea principle that requires you to treat others in the Pellea community with civility, respect, and consideration – both online and offline. Respect opposing or differing opinions and beliefs. Try to listen to and understand others with whom you may disagree. Encourage others in the community to also be welcoming and respectful.

Respect Others: Pellea is a meeting place for people of different cultures, lifestyles, and ideals. By joining our community, you promise to communicate with respect and consideration, even if you meet someone you disagree with.

Work Together to Resolve Disputes: Pellea is always encouraged to work through their member, vendor, or affiliate disputes and problems together with the others. Working together with others and appreciating different viewpoints are important aspects of the Pellea experience.

Use Good Judgment and Be Empathetic: When interacting with others on Pellea, try to see the world from their perspective. People contribute to the Pellea community in their way. Disputes between members, vendors, or affiliates can occur when different cultural norms create a misunderstanding, as many things are acceptable in some cultures and unacceptable in others.

Interactions With Others: It is okay to disagree. Alternative points of view are a key part of cultural exchange as long as your comments are civil, respectful and polite. Remember to give the impression of assuming goodwill on the part of the person with whom you are disagreeing.

Stay Safe: Safety Is a Cornerstone of the Pellea Community. Member, Vendor, and Affiliate safety are very important to Pellea and the health of the community. Please check the Safety Tips section on the Safety Tips page for more information.

Price Right: You may reasonably charge for your products or services. Vendors asking members for money towards paid products or services are allowed.

Leave References: The reference system allows members, vendors, and affiliates to share information about their interactions with others enabling the community to make more informed decisions.

Vendors who have sold to members or members who have bought from vendors are permitted to give private feedback (to Pellea) and public references within 14 days after the offered products or services. Members must have a products or services request with the “Yes” “Maybe” or “Confirmed” status to leave a vendor reference. Other members may create references under the “Other” or “Friend” reference designations (as opposed to “vendor”).

References should be correct and relevant to the experience with the recipient.

Pellea does not generally interfere with reference content left by members, vendors, or affiliates. In extremely rare circumstances, Pellea may censor, temporarily hide, or remove reference content if it violates our Reference Guidelines.

A reference may be censored, temporarily hidden, or removed in the following cases:

Order To Remove: We are served with a court or law enforcement order to remove the reference
Not The Author: The reference entirely reflects the experience of someone other than the author
False Reference: The reference is false, in a meaningful way, according to information in the Pellea system

Note: When contacting us regarding trust and safety, the reporter should provide the false statement, and details of the exact location of the evidence within the Pellea website.

Anonymous: The reference is anonymous

Note: For example, left from a blank profile that was created only to leave the reference.

No Contact: There has been no direct interaction, either offline or over the Pellea system, between the person writing the reference and the person receiving it
Multiple References: There are multiple references for the same confirmed visit from the same member, vendor, or affiliate. In this case, we will keep the first “Vendor” reference left
Private Information: The reference discloses private contact information, medical condition, or legal circumstance

If you’ve received a reference that falls under the above cases, please Contact Us. Please include a link to your profile, the name of the member, vendor or affiliate whose reference you are disputing, and the exact guideline(s) you believe this reference violates.

Pellea is generally unable to verify the accuracy of references describing offline interactions, and only act when a violation of this policy has occurred.

Pellea members, vendors, or affiliates can only report references left on their profile.

Note: Pellea staff reserves the right to remove any reference that undermines the integrity of the Reference System

Report Violations: If you feel another person is violating Pellea’s policies, use the Flagging or Report tools available next to posts, events, messages, and on profiles. You can also Contact Us.
