Community Guidelines

We want Saentrepreneurs to be a community where everyone feels respected. It’s up to all of us to make sure that that happens. This page includes important information about our expectations of you while using Saentrepreneurs. Please take the time to carefully read through this information; we take these guidelines seriously and expect you to do the same.

Copyright

We have always set out to build a diverse, collaborative community of creators, where everyone gets credit for the content that they make and own, and where the rights of creators are respected.

You are responsible for all activity associated with your account, including all content that you post. If you post content that belongs to someone else (for example, if you are an employee acting on behalf of a company or a legal entity), or if you use someone else’s content in a remix or other similar work, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the permission of all relevant rightsholders in order to post that content to Saentrepreneurs. Anyone uploading another person’s content without the necessary permissions is liable to have that content removed or their account terminated.

If you feel that someone is infringing your copyright, tell us about it at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Respect

Saentrepreneurs is an open, business platform, made up of a vibrant group of people with differing views, opinions, and cultural backgrounds. We support freedom of speech and the fundamental right for individuals to express themselves, and expect everyone else to do the same. Respecting each other on Saentrepreneurs means following some basic principles:

Don’t be a bully: We have zero tolerance for abusive or threatening behavior within the community. We consider abuse to be any activity where the intent is to attack or demean someone else. Anyone found to be engaging in this type of activity risks the immediate, permanent termination of their account.

Criticize constructively: We recognize that criticism can be a valuable tool for helping each other to improve. Remember that behind each track is a person. Criticism should always focus on the content, and not on the individual who created it. Please share your opinion with others, but do so in a constructive way. Before posting feedback, always ask yourself whether you would appreciate receiving the same feedback. If not, don’t post it.

Privacy of others: Everyone has the right to privacy, no matter who they are. Don’t share personal details of another person (or entity), without their permission. This includes recordings of private conversations, photographs, unlisted phone numbers, and home or email addresses.

Don’t pretend to be someone else

As a business platform built with creator needs in mind, transparency is essential; we welcome the use of professional identities on Saentrepreneurs. However, that doesn’t mean that you can impersonate another person, or post content that is intentionally misleading. As a rough guide, you mustn’t create profiles or post content that is intended to make people think you are someone else. You must not use someone else’s name or trademark without their permission, or pretend to be associated with someone you aren’t, even if you feel that you are helping that person by doing so.

If you feel that someone is impersonating you, or is infringing your trademark rights please tell us about it at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Self promotion & building your business network

Saentrepreneurs aims to help businessmen to connect directly with their potential partners. We understand that promoting your business is important, and we encourage you to build your network. In our experience, the most successful forms of promotion are built upon concrete projects, products and services.

To preserve privacy and help encourage a two-way constructive relationship between businessmen, we have technical restrictions in place to limit activity that goes against this principle. The access to the user’s data base is limited to Professional accounts in a hierarchical way according to the type of the membership; consequently the VIP user can view and access all types of the users’ profiles, i.e. VIP, Pro, Basic and Light. Pro user can access Pro, Basic and Light but not VIP profiles, whereas Basic user can access only the profiles of Basic and Light users. On the other hand only VIP users have the right to posting articles on the platform.

To help encourage a two-way relationship between businessmen, we have technical restrictions in place to limit activity that goes against this principle.

Specifically, it’s not possible to:

Forbidden content

As an open platform, freedom of expression is important to us. However, there are certain types of content that have no place on Saentrepreneurs. In order to protect the community and maintain positivity, please don’t post:

Pornography: Remember that Saentrepreneurs can be accessed by people as young as 13. Don’t post any content that is predominantly sexual in nature, or that could be perceived as an aid to sexual gratification. This includes, but is not limited to, images containing nudity and recordings or detailed descriptions of sexual acts. There are plenty of other places to find that content online.

Hate speech: You are welcome to share your opinions and beliefs on Saentrepreneurs, even if they might be controversial, or challenge the status-quo. However, we will not tolerate content that promotes or encourages hatred, discrimination or violence against others based on things like race, cultural identity or ethnic background, religious beliefs, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Spam & prohibited services

We aim for Saentrepreneurs to be a spam-free zone. To support this effort, we have policies in place that prohibit both spammy activity and the use of related services which violate our Terms.

The following activity is not permitted:

Tell us about it

It’s possible that you might come across content that you disagree with or find distasteful from time to time. If you encounter any content that crosses the line and breaches these guidelines or our Terms of Use–including impersonation, abusive or threatening behaviour, pornography or malicious speech–tell us about it (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). We have a dedicated team of people who will review all reports objectively, and remove any content that violates these rules, or applicable law.

Please bear in mind that something that you find unacceptable, may not be unacceptable to everyone. We try to maintain a fair and balanced approach, but reporting content will not always result in that content being removed if it does not break the rules. Either way, we will always let you know the outcome of your report.

If you break the rules

If we receive notification from a rightsholder that any content uploaded to your account infringes their copyright, or if we believe that your activity violates any of our other guidelines, we will send you a written warning. If we have to send you more than two of these warnings, we will terminate your account. In the most extreme cases, we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately, without prior warning.

To sum up

Be considerate of others, respect the law and think about these guidelines before you post. We aim to make objective, fair decisions when content is reported to us and in most cases, will send you a warning before we take any other measures. We think this is reasonable but if you don't agree, maybe Saentrepreneurs isn’t the place for you.

We may need to update these Community Guidelines occasionally, so please be sure to check back here every so often for updates.

What is Saentrepreneurs?

Below, you’ll find a few additional terms that apply to those Professional Accounts and Professional Account holders, including, amongst other things, terms relating to payment, the conclusion and renewal of your contract, your right of withdrawal during the first 14 days of your subscription, and certain technical usage limitations.

The contract itself is not concluded until you receive confirmation from us or until we activate your Professional Account, as described below.

Conclusion of Contract and Start of Subscription

Once your payment has been received, your Professional Account will be activated, and we will send confirmation by email to the address associated with your account.

The contract for your Professional Account is concluded when you receive our confirmation email (or when we activate your account, if this happens first), not when you make your payment.

Payment

Fees for Professional Accounts and gift codes are payable in advance and will be taken at the time the contract is concluded as described above. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal and/or any other payment method that is presented to you during the purchase process.

Term and Renewal

If you choose a monthly payment option, your Professional Account subscription will run from month to month, and will renew automatically at the end of each monthly period. Payment for the next monthly period will be taken at that time, unless you cancel your Professional Account, which you can do at any time from the “Professional Plan” tab on your Settings page on the Website by writing to us “This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.”.

Annual accounts run for twelve months from the date on which your Professional Account is activated, and your subscription will be renewed automatically at the end of that twelve month period, unless you choose to end terminate the contract and delete your account, which you can do from the “Professional Plan” tab on your Settings page on the Website.

If you wish to upgrade from “Light” or “Professional” or from one type of “Professional” to the other type such as “VIP” or “Pro”, you may do so at any time within the “Premium Account” tab on your Settings page on the Website. Your new “Professional” subscription will start after your payment has been processed and your new plan will be activated immediately, irrespective of any remaining time on your old “Professional” plan. We cannot offer you any refund for your old “Professional” plan, but if you upgrade your yearly plan, we may offer you a discount depending on the remaining time on your previous plan.

14 Days Trial

We offer all customers who purchase a Professional Account for the first time the right to cancel their purchase within the first thirty (14) days, starting from the day on which the contract is concluded. In order to cancel your subscription, simply write to us “This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.”.

We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. If you requested to begin the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

Following receipt of your notice of withdrawal, Saentrepreneurs will downgrade your Professional Account to a free account. If you wish to delete your account altogether, simply write to us “This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.”.

Changes to Pricing and Features

We may occasionally need to change the features of our Professional Accounts and/or change the prices charged for these accounts. In the event of any increase in the price or material reduction in the features of any Professional Account to which you subscribe, we will communicate these change(s) to you at least six (6) weeks in advance and the changes will only take effect with respect to any subsequent renewal of your subscription.
