User Account Rules

4. Crowdcube may request identity verification from users who wish to use the forum and other content areas and may indicate whether your identity has been verified to other members.

Links

5. You may link to third party sites where this is appropriate and not advertising or otherwise misleading. The content that you direct people towards cannot be relied on to invest and Crowdcube reserves the right to remove links that it deems inappropriate in its absolute discretion.

6. We do not allow links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate Crowdcube community rules.

7. You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral.

General Rules and Responsibility for Content

8. Statements made and opinions expressed in the forums are those of the author, and are neither verified or endorsed by Crowdcube.

9. Crowdcube does not review or approve discussion forums or other community posts unless notified to us via the flag buttons on the post itself or email to [email protected].

10. Crowdcube does not approve user posts as financial promotions as a general rule. Entrepreneurs, businesses raising finance and investors must not solicit or advertise for investment without Crowdcube’s prior written approval of the content.

11. Whilst these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these discussion forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.

12. The Crowdcube team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.

13. Crowdcube reserves the right to suspend or permanently remove any posts that breach these rules in Crowdcube’s sole and final discretion. Crowdcube may also suspend or ban users from posting content on Crowdcube and/or from investing on Crowdcube.

14. You may report breaches of this policy to Crowdcube via the report links.
