Quicky Freelance Community Standards

Introduction

At Quicky Freelance, we're not just building a platform; we're nurturing a community where collaboration reshapes the global work landscape. From writers, designers, to business consultants, our platform is a melting pot of talent across numerous fields, all driven by creativity and belief in their work. Each member contributes uniquely, making Quicky Freelance a vibrant, dynamic space.

To ensure this environment remains respectful, inclusive, and secure, we've established these community standards. Consider them your guide to how we expect behavior to be conducted on Quicky Freelance, both in direct interactions and digital communications. These standards, while not bound by law, are the backbone of our platform's policies, reflecting our core values of respect, safety, inclusivity, support, and openness.

As our community grows, so will these standards. They are designed to adapt, much like the creative minds that make up our community. We've included examples of what not to do, but remember, these are illustrative, not exhaustive.

We urge all members to use our reporting tools if they encounter behavior or content that doesn't align with our values. Let's all strive to make Quicky Freelance the best place for everyone by adhering to these guidelines.

Using Quicky Freelance's Reporting Tools

If you come across content or behavior that violates our community standards, please use our built-in reporting tools. This helps us maintain the integrity and safety of our platform for all users.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property Protection

At Quicky Freelance, we take intellectual property (IP) rights seriously and expect all users to respect the IP rights of others. We have mechanisms in place to report any potential violations of copyright, trademarks, and related protections.

If we receive a valid complaint from a rights holder or their representative, we may remove or restrict access to infringing content. Additional information may be required to validate ownership claims.

Users may not offer, request, or deliver services that:

  • Involve copying or distributing copyrighted material without permission.
  • Develop or sell hacked, cracked, or pirated software or templates.
  • Remove watermarks or copyright marks without the owner’s consent.

Violations may lead to permanent account suspension.

Non-Original Work Standards

We value originality and expect all content, particularly in graphics, design, and photography categories, to be unique. Prohibited activities include:

  • Selling or presenting someone else’s work as your own.
  • Delivering designs that are not substantially different from pre-existing templates.
  • Using stock images or templates without appropriate licenses.

Acceptable Use of Elements

Elements like shapes, symbols, and basic concepts can be reused as long as they’re part of a transformative design. Ensure that final work is unique and not simply reused stock content.

Stock Images and Templates

  • All stock images and templates must have appropriate licenses.
  • Deliveries using templates must show significant changes and originality.
  • Clearly disclose when templates are part of the service offered.

Freelancers relying heavily on templates may not qualify for premium programs.

Responsible Digital Creation

Users must adhere to the terms of service and policies of third-party platforms when using external tools and content. Guidelines include:

  • Transparency about third-party content and licenses.
  • Respect for IP rights, even for publicly available content.
  • Maintaining records of permissions and licenses.

Incorporating External Content

Freelancers can use others’ work (with rights) as part of a larger project, but not resell it as their own without adding significant value. Reselling content "as is" for profit, known as profit arbitrage, is prohibited.

Examples of acceptable uses:

  • Using stock images as backgrounds in videos.
  • Incorporating licensed music tracks into multimedia projects.

Final Notes

Quicky Freelance is dedicated to fostering a creative and lawful environment where intellectual property is respected. By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure transparency, fairness, and compliance with legal standards. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or further action as needed.
