Community Guidelines

Welcome to Celebut! Our platform is designed around a singular purpose: helping people celebrate life's moments, host milestone events, and exchange meaningful gifts across a global community. Celebut is a global platform designed to celebrate people, achievements, milestones, creativity, generosity, culture, and meaningful human connections. Our goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and positive environment where users can engage with one another, share content, express appreciation, support creators, and participate in community experiences.

Celebut integrates real-world social interaction with financial gifting features; maintaining safety, transparency, and authentic celebration is vital. These guidelines explain how our features work and the rules every member must follow. They establish the standards of conduct expected from all users of the Celebut platform. They are intended to protect the integrity of the community, promote user safety, support lawful activity, and preserve trust in the platform.

By accessing or using Celebut, you agree to comply with these Community Guidelines, our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, applicable payment and financial policies, and all applicable laws and regulations. Violations may result in content removal, account restrictions, financial limitations, suspension, termination, or referral to appropriate authorities.

1. Scope and Application

These Guidelines apply to all individuals and entities using or interacting with Celebut, including registered users, guests, verified celebrants, creators, influencers, gift senders, gift recipients, advertisers, partners, agencies, and commercial collaborators.

The Guidelines apply to all activities occurring on the platform, including content posted, messages exchanged, profile information, gifting activity, promotional campaigns, verification requests, financial transactions, and any conduct that affects the safety, security, integrity, or reputation of the Celebut community.

Where conduct occurring off-platform presents a credible risk to users, the platform, or public safety, Celebut reserves the right to consider such conduct when making moderation and enforcement decisions.

2. Milestone Registries & Event Hosting

Users can create digital registries and event hubs to celebrate birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduations, and personal achievements.

Trust is essential to the Celebut community. Users must provide accurate information when creating and maintaining their accounts.

Impersonation of another person, public figure, organisation, brand, or entity is prohibited unless expressly authorised or clearly disclosed in a manner approved by Celebut. Users may not create misleading profiles, falsify verification credentials, manipulate identity information, or otherwise misrepresent who they are.

Accounts created for deceptive purposes, fraudulent activity, coordinated manipulation, or evasion of enforcement actions may be removed without notice.

2.1 Host Etiquette Note

While event hosts are encouraged to set custom event guidelines, Celebut acts as a passive platform and will not intervene in civil disputes regarding bespoke party rules or social expectations.

2.2 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Cash & Digital Gifting

Celebut's creator and celebration economy allows members to send interactive digital gifts and direct cash contributions. All gifts on the platform are process via a licensed third-party payment processor.

Gifts are deemed voluntary, final and non-refundable.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

Users must meet the minimum age requirements established by Celebut and applicable law.

Individuals under the age of 18 may access certain features of the platform only where permitted and subject to any restrictions imposed by Celebut. Monetisation features, gifting withdrawals, creator earnings, verification privileges, and any financial functionality may be restricted to users who have reached the age of 18 or the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

Celebut may require age verification, identity verification, parental consent, or other documentation at any time to confirm eligibility. Failure to provide requested information may result in restricted access, suspension, or account termination.

Users must not misrepresent their age, identity, or eligibility status.

4. Key Rules for Gifting:

4.1 Gifts are Final and Non-Refundable

All cash and digital gifts sent on Celebut are legally deemed voluntary, gratuitous transfers. Sending a gift does not establish a contract, commercial obligation, or entitlement to goods/services from the recipient.

4.2 Account-Closure Refund Policy Only

The platform software does not support point-of-sale refunds or transaction reversals. Refund inquiries are evaluated only during a formal account closure/liquidation process, during which transactions undergo strict anti-fraud checks.

4.3 No Off-Platform Circumvention

All gifts associated with Celebut events must be processed using internal Celebut channels. Posting external wire details, third-party payment tags, or links in bios to evade platform verification or fees is strictly prohibited.

4.4 Internal Platform Balances & Bank Payouts

Your Celebut Balance reflects settled gifting funds on the platform. It is an internal ledger—not a bank account, checking account, or generalized digital wallet.

5. Withdrawal Requirements

To protect our ecosystem against money laundering, account hijacking, and financial fraud, payouts must follow this mandatory flow:

5.1 Zero Name Mismatch

You can only withdraw funds to an external bank account whose legal registration details exactly match your verified Celebut identity profile.

5.2 Residence Rules

Bank accounts must be with licensed institutions located within your verified country of residence.

5.3 Tax Responsibilities

Recipients bear exclusive responsibility for declaring and paying any national, state, or localized taxes arising from received gifts.

6. Core Community Standards

Celebut is founded upon principles of respect, safety, authenticity, celebration, accountability, and lawful participation. Users are expected to engage with others in good faith and to contribute positively to the community.

Users must respect the dignity, privacy, and rights of others. Content and conduct that seek to intimidate, exploit, deceive, manipulate, harass, or endanger individuals or groups are inconsistent with the purpose of the platform and may result in enforcement action.

Users must not use Celebut in any manner that undermines trust, disrupts platform operations, circumvents security controls, or facilitates unlawful activity.

In addition to feature rules, all members must abide by core platform safety principles:

6.1 Safety & Respect

• No Harassment or Bullying: Targeting individuals with abusive comments, persistent unwanted contact, personal attacks, or doxing is banned.
• No Hate Speech: Content promoting violence or inciting hatred against protected groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, orientation, or gender identity is strictly prohibited.
• Age Restrictions (18+): Full access, event creation, and financial gifting require users to be at least 18 years old. Accounts for users under 18 operate with restricted functionality—gifting and public tools are strictly disabled.

6.2 Authenticity & Copyright

• No Impersonation: Profiles must represent your real identity. Fake profiles, unauthorized fan accounts, or fake charity profiles will be terminated.
• Respect Intellectual Property: Only upload media, audio, and content that you own or have explicit, documented permission to use. Users must respect the intellectual property rights, publicity rights, privacy rights, and other legal rights of others. Content that infringes copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, image rights, publicity rights, or other proprietary rights may be removed. Users must not upload, reproduce, distribute, or monetise content without appropriate rights, permissions, licences, or legal authority. Celebut may remove content upon receipt of a valid rights-holder complaint or where infringement is otherwise reasonably suspected.
• No Platform Scraping or Bots: Automated tools (scrapers, bots, crawlers) designed to extract user data or disrupt platform infrastructure are prohibited.

7. Acceptable Content

Celebut encourages content that celebrates achievements, milestones, special occasions, artistic expression, education, entertainment, charitable causes, cultural experiences, talent, inspiration, and positive community engagement.

Users may share content they have the legal right to use, provided that such content complies with these Guidelines and applicable laws. Content should be suitable for a diverse international audience and should not expose others to harm, exploitation, unlawful activity, or significant risk.

Celebut reserves the right to determine whether content aligns with the values and objectives of the platform.

8. Prohibited Content and Conduct

Users must not post, upload, distribute, transmit, promote, facilitate, or engage in content or conduct that violates these Guidelines.

Content or behaviour that promotes, glorifies, supports, encourages, or facilitates hatred, discrimination, violence, criminal activity, exploitation, or abuse is prohibited. This includes attacks directed at individuals or groups based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or similar protected status.

Harassment, bullying, intimidation, stalking, threats, extortion, blackmail, unwanted sexual conduct, coordinated abuse campaigns, doxxing, invasions of privacy, and repeated unwanted contact are not permitted.

Pornographic material, sexually explicit content, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual solicitation, trafficking-related activity, and any sexual content involving minors are strictly prohibited. Celebut maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Users may not post content depicting, encouraging, or glorifying self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, dangerous challenges, animal cruelty, torture, or graphic violence. Content that creates a credible risk of physical injury or public harm may be removed immediately.

Celebut prohibits misinformation and deceptive practices that may cause harm to individuals, communities, public institutions, elections, public health initiatives, or financial systems. False endorsements, fabricated testimonials, manipulated media intended to deceive, and impersonation of public figures are prohibited.

Users may not engage in spam, coordinated inauthentic behaviour, mass solicitation, automated posting, engagement manipulation, fake follower schemes, bot activity, or attempts to artificially influence platform metrics or visibility.

9. Gifting, Monetisation and Financial Integrity

9.1 Celebut's gifting and monetisation features are intended to enable appreciation, celebration, recognition, and lawful support of creators and users. These features are not intended to operate as banking services, remittance services, payment processors, money transmission systems, investment products, fundraising platforms, or alternative financial networks.

9.2 Users must not use the platform to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, sanctions evasion, tax evasion, bribery, corruption, organised crime, illegal gambling, prostitution-related enterprises, or any other unlawful financial activity.

9.3 Artificial gifting schemes, transaction cycling, coordinated withdrawals, self-gifting, account farming, synthetic activity, structured transactions designed to evade monitoring, or attempts to manipulate financial systems are prohibited.

9.4 Celebut may conduct identity verification, source-of-funds reviews, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, fraud prevention checks, and anti-money laundering assessments at any time. We reserve the right to delay, reject, reverse, suspend, restrict, or withhold transactions where required by law, regulation, risk management procedures, court orders, or legitimate business needs.

9.5 Where suspicious activity is identified, Celebut may cooperate with financial institutions, regulators, law enforcement agencies, and other competent authorities.

10. Creator, Influencer and Verified Account Responsibilities

10.1 Users granted verified status, creator privileges, influencer recognition, or similar designations are expected to maintain a higher standard of conduct because of their visibility and influence within the community.

10.2 Verified users must provide truthful information, comply with advertising and consumer protection laws, clearly disclose sponsored content and commercial relationships, avoid misleading promotions, and refrain from encouraging unsafe, exploitative, deceptive, or unlawful conduct.

10.3 Celebut may suspend, revoke, or refuse verification status at its sole discretion.

11. Child Safety and Protection of Vulnerable Persons

11.1 Protecting children and vulnerable individuals is a fundamental priority.

11.2 Any content, communication, activity, or behaviour that exploits, endangers, targets, manipulates, grooms, sexualises, traffics, or otherwise harms children or vulnerable persons is prohibited and may result in immediate account termination and referral to law enforcement authorities.

11.3 Celebut may proactively investigate suspected violations, preserve relevant information where legally permitted, and cooperate with child protection agencies and relevant authorities.

12. Reporting and Cooperation

Users are encouraged to report content, accounts, transactions, or behaviour that may violate these Guidelines or present a risk to community safety.

Reports may be submitted through platform reporting tools, support channels, or designated reporting mechanisms. Users are expected to provide accurate information when making reports.

Knowingly submitting false, malicious, abusive, or fraudulent reports may itself constitute a violation of these Guidelines.

Users may be required to cooperate with investigations relating to safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or platform integrity.

13. Enforcement and Moderation

Celebut reserves the right to investigate potential violations and take any action reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with legal obligations, maintain platform integrity, or reduce risk.

Enforcement actions may include content removal, visibility reduction, warning notices, feature restrictions, age-gating, verification revocation, account suspension, account termination, transaction limitations, withholding of funds, cancellation of withdrawals, recovery of improperly obtained benefits, referral to law enforcement, or any other action deemed appropriate.

Celebut may take enforcement action based on available evidence, risk assessments, legal obligations, user reports, automated detection systems, human review, or information obtained from trusted third parties.

Not every violation will result in prior notice, warning, or an opportunity to correct conduct. Depending on the severity of the violation, Celebut may:

• Remove Content: Hide or delete violating posts, events, or registry descriptions.
• Freeze Balances: Hold or restrict payout rights on unsettled cash gifts if fraud or impersonation is suspected.
• Clawback Funds: Cancel or reverse pending gifts that have not settled into external bank accounts if an event is proven fraudulent.
• Permanent Termination: Ban account access, forfeit unpaid platform balances, and report fraudulent activity to local law enforcement and regulatory authorities.

14. Appeals

Where eligible, users may request a review of certain moderation or enforcement decisions by submitting an appeal through Celebut's designated support process within fourteen (14) days of notification. To report a post or profile:

• Report an Event or Profile: Tap the ... icon on any event, post, or profile to submit a confidential safety flag, or contact our support team.
• Submit an Appeal : If you believe your account was restricted or a registry was removed in error, you may file an appeal through our support portal within 30 days of the enforcement action.

Appeals may require supporting information or documentation. Celebut will review appeals in good faith and may uphold, modify, or reverse the original decision.

Following completion of the review process, Celebut's decision will be final except where otherwise required by law.

15. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of Celebut complies with all laws, regulations, licensing requirements, sanctions regimes, tax obligations, consumer protection laws, intellectual property laws, financial crime regulations, child protection requirements, and other legal obligations applicable in their jurisdiction.

Nothing in these Guidelines shall be interpreted as limiting Celebut's ability to comply with legal requests, regulatory obligations, court orders, governmental directives, or law enforcement investigations.

16. Platform Monitoring and Risk Management

To promote safety, security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance, Celebut may use automated systems, machine learning tools, human moderators, financial monitoring processes, identity verification technologies, and third-party service providers.

Users acknowledge that moderation and enforcement decisions may involve a combination of automated and human review processes.

Celebut does not guarantee that all content or conduct violating these Guidelines will be detected or removed immediately.

17. Changes to These Guidelines

Celebut may modify, update, replace, or supplement these Community Guidelines at any time to reflect legal developments, regulatory requirements, technological changes, evolving risks, platform enhancements, or community needs.

Updated versions will become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the platform following publication of revised Guidelines constitutes acceptance of those changes.
