Waimz™ is a brand and product owned and operated by Humainz, Inc. These guidelines are part of our Terms of Service.

Our zero-tolerance rules

Some things have no place on Waimz™. If we find that an account has done any of the following, we may ban it permanently, without warning, from Waimz™ and other services of Humainz, Inc., and report it to the authorities where the law requires it or where we believe someone is at risk:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or any content or conduct that sexualizes a minor, including drawn or AI-generated content.
• Being under 18, or pretending to be under 18.
• Scams and money requests: romance fraud, investment or crypto schemes, or asking other members for money, gifts, loans or financial details.
• Threats and violence: threatening, encouraging or committing violence, or stalking anyone.
• Non-consensual intimate images: sharing, or threatening to share, intimate images of someone without their consent.
• Sextortion: using intimate images or personal information to pressure someone for money, more images or anything else.
• Trafficking and commercial sex: human trafficking, or offering, requesting or advertising sex in exchange for money, gifts or anything of value.
• Hate: attacking or dehumanizing people for who they are, including their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, HIV status or other health condition.
• Doxxing and outing: sharing another person's home address, contact details, location or real identity, or revealing another member's sexual orientation, gender identity or HIV status, without their clear permission.
• Impersonation: pretending to be another person, a brand, or staff of Waimz™ or Humainz, Inc.

We decide whether conduct falls into these categories. Other serious violations can also lead to a permanent ban.

1. Be respectful

Treat others as you would like to be treated. Harassment, bullying, hate speech, discrimination, and threats of any kind are strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, content or behavior targeting race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, HIV status, or body type. Deliberately misgendering or deadnaming someone is harassment. Waimz™ is built for the full LGBTQ+ spectrum: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, queer, and questioning people are all welcome here, and these rules apply to everyone equally.

2. Be authentic

Be real. Impersonation, fake profiles, catfishing, and misleading information undermine trust in the community. Represent yourself honestly, use recent photos that are actually you, and keep to one account. If we have restricted or banned your account, do not create a new one.

3. Keep it consensual and adults-only

Waimz™ is an 18+ community. All interactions must be consensual. Respect boundaries and intent: people come to Waimz™ to date, to make friends, and to find community, and not everyone is looking for the same thing. Do not pressure, coerce, or send unsolicited explicit content. Sharing sexually explicit content publicly, or with anyone who has not consented to receive it, is prohibited.

4. Nudity and sexual content

Waimz™ is a sex-respectful community, not a pornography platform. We keep public spaces comfortable for everyone, whether someone is here to date, make friends, or find community, while leaving room for consenting adults to talk one to one. The line is public vs. one-to-one and, always, consent.

Not allowed anywhere on Waimz™, in public or in one-to-one chats:

• Pornography, or images or video depicting sexual acts (real or simulated, clothed or unclothed), including masturbation or penetration.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM/CSAE) of any kind. This is a zero-tolerance violation that leads to a ban and a report. See the Child safety section below.
• Content depicting non-consensual sexual activity, or that sexualizes anyone who has not consented.
• "Revenge porn," upskirts, hidden-camera content, or any intimate image shared without the depicted person's consent.
• Bodily fluids in a sexual context.
• Bestiality, or any sexual content involving animals.
• Offers, advertisements, or solicitation of commercial sexual services, escorting, or "sugar" arrangements in exchange for money or goods.
• Sex trafficking or any content that facilitates it.

Not allowed in public spaces (profiles, photos, bios, display names, community posts, places, and any public-facing field):

• Nudity, including exposed genitals, anuses, or female nipples. (To comply with app store requirements, female-presenting nipples are treated as nudity in public spaces.)
• Sexually explicit poses, close-ups of clothed or unclothed erogenous zones, or content whose primary purpose is sexual arousal.
• Profile photos that are not of you, or that hide your face behind sexual content.
• Stating explicit sexual desires, requests, or "looking for sex right now" language in public profile fields. You are welcome to express who you are and what kind of connection you're seeking in tasteful terms.

In one-to-one chats between consenting adults:

• Adult conversation between people who both want it is permitted. Nude and explicit images, however, are not allowed on Waimz™, including in one-to-one chats.
• Always get consent first. Never send sexual messages or images to someone who hasn't clearly welcomed them. Unsolicited explicit content ("cyberflashing") is a serious violation and may result in immediate removal.
• "No" means no. If someone declines or stops engaging, respect it straight away. Continued pressure is harassment.

We enforce these rules with automated tools, such as screening of profile photos, and with review by our team, mainly when members report something. We do not routinely read one-to-one chats. Tools and people can both make mistakes; if you see something that shouldn't be here, report it. Violations may result in content removal, warnings, feature limits, suspension, or a permanent ban depending on severity, and we report unlawful content to the appropriate authorities where required.

5. No spam or solicitation

Do not use Waimz™ to send unsolicited messages, advertisements, or promotional material, or to push people to other apps, services or links for money. Repeated, unwanted contact with other users is considered spam and may result in account action. Commercial sexual services and escorting are prohibited.

6. Respect privacy: never out anyone

Do not share another person's personal information without their consent. This includes photos, screenshots of profiles or chats, contact details, location data, or anything someone shared with you on Waimz™. Outing someone, revealing a person's sexual orientation, gender identity or HIV status without their explicit permission, is on our zero-tolerance list. Speculating publicly about someone's orientation, gender identity or health is not allowed either.

7. No illegal activity

Do not use Waimz™ for any illegal purposes, including fraud, scams, money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, or any other activity that violates local, state, national, or international laws. Never ask other members for money or financial details. If someone asks you for money, stop the conversation and report them.

8. Take care when meeting and exploring places

Waimz™ helps you discover people, LGBTQ+-friendly venues, scenes and events near you. We provide tools and review reports; you make your own choices about who you meet and where you go. When meeting someone or attending a venue or event, behave respectfully toward everyone, follow venue and event rules, and use good judgment.

WAIMZ DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENINGS OR IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF ITS MEMBERS.

We cannot promise how anyone will behave, on or off Waimz™. Read our Safety Tips before you meet anyone. Report inappropriate behavior to venue staff, event organizers and Waimz™.

8a. Conduct off Waimz counts

These guidelines apply to how you treat people you meet through Waimz™, both on and off the app: on dates, at meetups, at places and events listed on Waimz™, in other apps and in person. We may act on credible reports of harmful conduct off Waimz™, including removing accounts.

8b. Never engage with minors

Waimz™ is 18+ only. If you believe someone is under 18, do not engage, do not meet them, and report them straight away in the app or at childsafety@humainz.com.

8c. Don't track, locate or expose anyone

Never use distance, Radar, photos, screenshots, other apps or anything else from Waimz™ to work out where someone lives, follow them, or reveal their identity, orientation, gender identity or health status. This is a serious violation and may result in immediate removal and a report to law enforcement.

8d. Communities, meetups and events

Communities on Waimz™ are group chats run by Waimz™; members cannot create their own communities. Events and meetups shown in the app come from public listings and venues; unless we say otherwise, Waimz™ does not organize, run or check them. If you arrange to meet people through a community or chat, describe your plans honestly, choose public venues, keep it 18+, don't charge people through Waimz™, and never use a meetup for commercial sex, drugs or any illegal activity.

8e. AI influencers and test profiles

Some profiles on Waimz™ are AI influencers: AI characters that are part of Waimz™ marketing, created by Humainz, Inc. and presented as AI. Their profile starts with "🤖 AI influencer". They are not real people.

From time to time we may operate AI-assisted or test profiles (AI agents) to test features and to help us detect spam, scams and behavior that breaks our rules. These profiles never ask for money, payment details, contact details or intimate images, never arrange meetings, and are not counted as members in any figure we publish.

Anything these profiles say is not professional, medical, legal or financial advice.

Child safety and prohibited content

Waimz™ (a brand of Humainz, Inc.) is committed to child safety and strictly prohibits the publication, promotion, distribution, or facilitation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) in any form. This includes but is not limited to images, videos, text, or any other media that depicts, promotes, or attempts to normalize the sexual abuse or exploitation of children.

Waimz™ is strictly an 18+ service. Any user found to be engaging in such activity will have their account terminated and will be reported to the relevant authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement.

Waimz™ has an in-app reporting tool that lets users report suspected CSAM/CSAE content or behavior directly within the app. Our Trust & Safety team prioritizes child-safety reports. Humainz, Inc. reports apparent CSAM to NCMEC as required by U.S. law and cooperates with law enforcement.

For child safety concerns, contact our child safety lead at childsafety@humainz.com.

Read our full Child Safety Standards.

9. Safety tools

Our tools give you control over who sees you and how you interact, including photo check, block and report, hiding your distance, and discreet mode. These tools reduce some risks but cannot prevent all harm or misuse. Photo check is automated screening of each uploaded profile photo for a single face and an apparent adult age; photos that do not pass are deleted. It is not identity or age verification, and it is not a background check. Misusing these tools to harass, deceive, or endanger others is prohibited.

10. How reporting works

Block and report are available on every profile and in every chat. You can report in the app or email support@humainz.com. For anything involving a minor, use the child-safety option in the app or email childsafety@humainz.com.

Our teams review reports and act on them. We do not routinely read one-to-one chats, so please report: your report is often how we learn that something is wrong. When you report a conversation, you can add screenshots and details, and our team may review the reported messages and related account information.

The person you report is not told who reported them, although they may be able to guess from the circumstances. We may keep reported content and related account information to investigate, to enforce these guidelines and to meet legal duties, even if one of the accounts is later deleted.

We cannot promise a particular outcome or response time. If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first.

Reporting illegal content, including if you are not a member. Anyone can tell us about content they believe is illegal by emailing legal@humainz.com. Please include the profile name or other details that help us find the content, why you believe it is illegal, and your name and email address (you do not have to give your name if the report concerns child sexual abuse), and confirm that your report is accurate and made in good faith. legal@humainz.com is also our single point of contact for users and authorities under the EU Digital Services Act.

10a. False or bad-faith reports

Reporting is for real problems. Knowingly false reports, mass reporting, and reports meant to harass or silence someone, including reports that target a person for their gender identity or expression, are a violation of these guidelines.

11. Enforcement

We may, but are not obliged to, monitor or review content on Waimz™. Humainz, Inc. decides at its sole discretion whether something breaks these guidelines and what action to take. Depending on how serious it is and whether it has happened before, we may:

• give a warning;
• remove content;
• limit features, for example starting new chats, being shown in Radar or Discover, or taking part in Communities;
• suspend the account for a period of time;
• ban the account permanently, including from other services of Humainz, Inc.

We may skip or combine steps, and we may act straight away for zero-tolerance violations or when we believe someone is at risk. We may also preserve information and report conduct to law enforcement. Trying to get around a restriction or ban, for example by opening a new account, is itself a violation. If we ban an account for fraud or for using a false identity, we may notify members who exchanged messages with it, and we will where the law requires it.

11a. Decisions and appeals

When we remove your content or restrict, suspend or ban your account, we will generally tell you, in the app or by email, what we did, which rule it relates to, and whether automated tools were involved, unless the law, an ongoing investigation or someone's safety prevents us.

If you think we got it wrong, you can appeal within 6 months of our decision. Email support@humainz.com with "Appeal" in the subject line, or legal@humainz.com, from the email address on your account, and tell us why. A member of our team reviews every appeal; appeals are not decided by automated tools alone. We may keep, change or reverse our decision. Appealing does not affect any other rights you have under the law, including, in the EU, the right to use an out-of-court dispute settlement body under the Digital Services Act or to go to court.

12. Changes to these guidelines

We may update these Community Guidelines from time to time. We will tell you about material changes in the app or by email. Continued use of Waimz™ after an update means you accept the current version.
