Acceptable Use Policy

Version 0.1.0 · Last updated: 2026-04-30

1. Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) describes the conduct expected of every member, business owner, applicant, and visitor on Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC(“Called 2 Work”). It is a subsidiary policy to the Called 2 Work Terms of Service and is incorporated into them by reference. Where the Terms of Service set out the contractual framework, this AUP fills in the specific behaviors that violate it. A breach of this AUP is also a breach of the Terms of Service.

We keep this policy short on purpose. Use the platform as you would treat your church family and your local employer community: with honesty, with respect, and within the law.

2. Account and membership integrity

Called 2 Work is invitation-gated and operates on a chain of trust. To preserve that trust:

  • Do not impersonate another person, congregation, employer, or ministry.
  • Do not share, sell, or transfer your account, your invitation, or your business-owner vouching credit.
  • Do not create fake invitations, fake vouches, or sock-puppet accounts to inflate your reach or evade enforcement.
  • Do not vouch for a business owner you do not personally know and reasonably believe to operate a real, lawful business.
  • Keep your contact information current so we can reach you about account or safety issues.

3. Job-posting integrity

Job postings are the core artifact of the platform. They must describe real positions at real businesses on terms the poster is authorized to offer. In particular:

  • No fake or speculative listings; no “ghost” postings used only to harvest applicant data.
  • No multi-level-marketing, pyramid, chain-recruitment, or franchise-bait listings.
  • No postings that require the applicant to pay a fee, buy inventory, attend a paid seminar, or make any other up-front financial outlay as a condition of being considered.
  • No discriminatory postings. Listings must comply with all applicable employment, wage-and-hour, equal-employment, and anti-discrimination laws in the jurisdiction where the work is performed.
  • No postings for positions that are illegal in the jurisdiction where the work is performed, or that the poster is not authorized by the employer to advertise.
  • Compensation and location disclosures must be accurate; if a jurisdiction requires a pay range, post one.

4. Communication and messaging conduct

The in-app chat exists so applicants and employers can have a real conversation with appropriate audit trails. To keep it safe:

  • No harassment, threats, slurs, sexual harassment, or targeted abuse of any member, applicant, or employer.
  • No doxxing — do not post or share another person's private contact information, home address, or other identifying details without their consent.
  • No off-platform recruiting pressure. Asking an applicant to move the conversation to a personal email or phone number before any meaningful screening, in order to evade audit trails, is prohibited.
  • No spam, mass-DMing, or unsolicited promotion of unrelated products or services through the chat or messaging features.
  • Treat ministers, lay-leaders, business owners, applicants, and visitors with the dignity expected within the congregations the platform serves.

5. Content rules

All content posted to Called 2 Work — listings, profiles, messages, attachments, and uploads — must follow these rules:

  • No malware, phishing links, credential harvesters, or other security-hostile payloads.
  • No copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property infringement. Do not upload material you do not own or have permission to use.
  • No content that is illegal in the jurisdiction where it is posted or where the recipient is reasonably expected to be.
  • No sexually explicit content, no nudity, and no content that sexualizes minors in any way. Content soliciting or targeting minors for any purpose outside lawful family / guardian contexts is grounds for immediate termination and a report to the appropriate authorities.
  • No content promoting violence, self-harm, hate, or discrimination against protected classes.

6. Technical conduct

The platform is small and community-funded. Treat it that way:

  • No scraping or automated harvesting of pages or data beyond what is permitted by our published robots.txt and rate limits.
  • No automated mass-posting, mass-application, or mass-messaging by bots, scripts, or third-party tools.
  • No security probing, vulnerability scanning, denial-of-service testing, or penetration testing without prior written authorization. Coordinated security disclosures are welcome and should be sent to [email protected].
  • No circumventing rate limits, geo-blocks, account suspensions, or any other access control.
  • No reverse engineering, decompiling, or reselling access to the service.

7. Reporting violations

If you see something on Called 2 Work that violates this policy, report it. We take reports seriously and follow up.

  • General abuse, harassment, fake listings, or member-safety concerns: [email protected].
  • Formal legal notices, including DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices, trademark complaints, and law-enforcement requests: [email protected].
  • When you report, include the URL or in-app context, a brief description of what you observed, and any timestamps you remember. Do not include sensitive personal data of third parties beyond what is necessary to identify the issue.

8. Enforcement

We enforce this policy proportionately to the conduct. The usual escalation, in roughly this order, is:

  1. Warning. A direct notice that the behavior is not acceptable, with an opportunity to correct it.
  2. Suspension. Temporary loss of posting, messaging, or vouching privileges while we investigate or while the violator demonstrates corrective action.
  3. Termination. Permanent account closure and, where applicable, revocation of any invitations or vouches the violator issued to others.

Severe violations — including content sexualizing minors, credible threats of violence, deliberate security attacks, and knowing fraud against applicants — result in immediate termination without prior warning, and may be reported to law enforcement.

Ban appeals. If you believe an enforcement action against your account was made in error, you may appeal once by emailing [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the action, with a short explanation and any context you would like us to consider. We will respond within a reasonable time. Appeals are decided at our discretion.

9. Updates to this policy

We may update this AUP from time to time. When we make a material change, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify members through the in-app inbox or by email. Your continued use of the service after a notified update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. The current version of this AUP and the Terms of Service together govern your use of the platform.
