Business page policy

Wee Amici is a platform built on trust. We believe all organizations - businesses, educational institutions, and non-profits - should act like good Amici. As a result, when communicating on Wee Amici, businesses should honor a commitment to earn and retain trust by being kind, contributory, civil, and true to who they are.

Real Names: Just as we require members to use their real names at signup, your Business Page must reflect your business’s real-world name. Accurately and authentically representing yourself helps neighbors find you on Wee Amici while building their trust. 

Real Addresses: We require members to provide their addresses in order to join the platform, and again, extend the same expectations to our business partners. Your Business Page must use a precise, accurate address and/or service area. P.O. boxes or mailboxes located at remote locations are not acceptable. Please note: you are not required to publicly share your address on your Business Page.

Ineligible Businesses: Businesses need to contribute to (and not detract from) the safety and spirit of Wee Amici’s communities. All content must always adhere to our Community Guidelines. Please note that we reserve the right to remove any content or page that we feel harms the community. 

We do not allow Business Pages that feature the sale or use of:

• Tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco paraphernalia, or electronic cigarettes 
• Illegal drugs or accessories associated with illegal drug use, storage, or consumption
• Sexually explicit products, services, or content
• Penny or bidding fee auctions, payday loans, or bail bonds
• Multilevel marketing models or get-rich-quick opportunities
• Non-FDA approved weight loss/appetite suppressant pills
• Counterfeit goods 
• Products or services that utilize hidden costs or bait and switch tactics, or that make unrealistic or exaggerated claims
• Financial products and services that are associated with deceptive or misleading practices (e.g., binary options, initial coin offerings, contract for difference trading, etc.)
• Products made from any endangered wildlife, including medicinal products

You also may not imply a Wee Amici endorsement or partnership where none exists. Businesses must not suggest that Wee Amici is sponsoring a promotion or is formally affiliated with it without express written confirmation.

Please report these issues with a business page:

• Copyright or trademark violation
• Fraud or scam business
• Prohibited goods and services
• Problematic content

Posting Guidelines

With Business Posts, businesses can post to the newsfeed to share updates, request reviews and feedback, or share special discounts or promotions with members. Amici can react and reply to posts to engage 1:1 with the business. Amici are able to message businesses, which businesses can respond to as they see fit.

Only local businesses are allowed to post into the newsfeed. National brands and e-commerce companies cannot utilize business posting.  However, local franchises of national companies may post.

All business posts must adhere to Wee Amici’s Community Guidelines.  In addition, there are some guidelines specific to business posts. See below for details on what is and isn’t allowed. 

What happens if a business does not comply with these rules? 

Members may report business content that they believe violates the Community Guidelines. Reported business content is sent to Wee Amici for review. If your business content is reported and we find that you are in violation of Community Guidelines or business posting policies, Wee Amici may take one or more of the following actions:

• Contact you with a warning
• Remove the inappropriate content
• Place your account on read-only access temporarily or permanently
• Suspend your account temporarily or permanently
• Remove your business page from Wee Amici 

Wee Amici reserves the right to take action on Guidelines or policy violations without first reaching out to the business page owner.

 
What can I do if my account is suspended for a business posting violation?
If your account is suspended, you will not be able to access Wee Amici or receive notifications from your Wee Amici neighborhood. You can contact us for more information on the status of your account.

Accounts may be indefinitely suspended for violations of the Member Agreement or for severe or repeat violations of the Community Guidelines or business posting policies. In this case, you can contact us for more information on the status of your account. Note that eligibility for reinstatement depends on your account history and the severity of the violation.

If you believe your account was suspended in error, contact us to request a review of your account. We generally respond to these requests within 48 hours.
