In principle, all actions are considered appropriate use which will allow a User stay up to date with the development of Coworkability and its products and/or allow the User to gain additional information about an investment round set up by a User.

Unacceptable behaviour shall include the following, but is not limited to this list:

Rude and inappropriate language

The Coworkability community aims to maintain professional integrity and the use of rude and inappropriate language does not fall in line with our beliefs. In order to promote support, collaboration, we need to pay close attention to what we say and how we say things. Respect for each other is the cornerstone of a successful collaboration. Meanwhile, kind words create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their business ideas, propelling anti discrimination and anti harassment.

Misrepresentation / Inauthentic behaviour

Inauthentic behaviour and misrepresentation of your business/startup/academic background or university association may create confusion and distrust in the community.

Our authenticity policies are intended to create a safe environment where people can trust and hold one another accountable. If Coworkability discovers that a user misrepresents themself on the platform or lies about their identity/role in a business, shall be removed from the platform.

Unprofessional Behaviour

In order to maintain a certain level of professionalism on the platform, we expect users to behave and communicate in a professional manner. Using the best of your own judgement to determine professional behaviour is advisable. Generally, this means that users should communicate using appropriate language and share information solely related to the project or collaboration at hand.
