Restricted and Unapproved Services
Bosswork functions as a dynamic marketplace where individuals can offer or seek a wide range of services. Nonetheless, there are specific types of services that we restrict due to various concerns.

Respecting Third-party Terms of Service: A third party refers to entities or individuals other than Bosswork who may be indirectly involved in the services you offer or request. As part of the Bosswork community, we expect you to honor the broader Internet community by adhering to the terms of service (TOS) of other platforms and companies.
Members should not offer, agree to provide, or request services that could potentially violate a third party's TOS. We advise contractors to familiarize themselves with the TOS of any third parties related to the services they plan to provide. Clients should also avoid requesting or ordering services that might breach a third party's TOS. Bosswork maintains the right to take appropriate actions against users who violate any third-party terms of service.
Bosswork is committed to upholding the integrity of intellectual property (IP) rights in alignment with various legal standards and our dedication to safeguarding the creative efforts of our community. Consequently, any services infringing on the IP rights of individuals or businesses are strictly prohibited. We actively take action against providers or requesters of such services to maintain a secure environment for our creatives. For further information on IP rights violations, please refer to our detailed guidelines.
In addition, to ensure a trustworthy community and prevent fraudulent practices, Bosswork bans services designed to mislead, manipulate, or disseminate false or unauthentic content. Members are urged not to offer, negotiate, or seek any services intended to deceive, such as:
Deepfakes: These include any extensively altered videos, photos, or audio recordings that modify the sequence, composition, or original audio in a way that fundamentally changes their original meaning, understanding, or context, even if these alterations are accomplished using generative AI tools. The creation of deepfakes on our platform is strictly forbidden due to the significant risk of misinformation propagation, non-consensual content, and potential illegal activities.
Fake Reviews: This pertains to any review that fails to be an honest, impartial opinion or that does not authentically reflect a genuine experience with a product, service, or business. Reviews, whether positive, negative, or neutral, that fall under this category are not allowed.
Fake Engagement or Traffic: Engaging in or using methods like bots, click farms, or other illegitimate techniques to artificially increase followers, views, likes, fans, or traffic is prohibited. Such activities violate third-party terms of service and compromise the trust and integrity of our platform. Account holders breaching these policies will face permanent suspension.

We stress the importance of upholding academic and workplace ethics, as well as relevant conduct guidelines, and we are dedicated to fostering academic and professional integrity.

Community Guidelines: Inappropriate Content and User Protection
Adult Material and Sexual Conduct
Bosswork maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards adult and sexually explicit material of any form. Upon detection or report, such material will be promptly removed, and those involved may face permanent suspension from the platform. These guidelines are applicable to all user-generated content (UGC), including Services, submissions, portfolios, Service videos, and more. This encompasses any content featuring nudity, as well as sexually graphic, violent, or degrading actions or scenes, including AI-generated visuals or animations.
Refrain from offering, agreeing to provide, or soliciting:
• Nude or adult-themed images or videos
• Sexual encounters or partners
• Sex conversations or explicit chats
• Non-consensual material of any kind
• Practices of sextortion, such as threatening to disclose private sexual material for blackmail
• Any content involving or resembling children in a sexual context
• Depictions of sexual violence or denigration
• Sexually suggestive modeling
• Enactments of fetish scenarios
• Content that portrays explicit sexual activity, except under conditions specified in the "documentary exception" outlined below
All the aforementioned, whether genuine or AI-produced, are strictly forbidden.
Content that is sexually explicit and features minors, as well as any material aiming to exploit minors sexually—including AI-created content—is categorically prohibited on Bosswork. Such material, legally termed as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), will be immediately reported, along with the individuals responsible for creating, offering, or soliciting such content, to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which collaborates with global law enforcement agencies.
Bosswork reserves the right to exercise broad discretion in removing content involving minors. User accounts found to be in violation of this guideline risk permanent suspension.
Documentary Exception
Bosswork permits nudity when its primary purpose serves educational, scientific, or artistic objectives, and it is not excessive. For instance, a video produced by a midwife to demonstrate proper breastfeeding technique is deemed acceptable. In contrast, creating a video using clips from the same film for sexual gratification is not permissible. Nudity presented out of context from indigenous communities, protests, medical procedures, childbirth, artistic performances, breastfeeding, or similar scenarios may not align with our documentary exception criteria.

Bosswork is dedicated to promptly and decisively investigating any behavior reported or identified as hate speech. Our response will be in alignment with both our Terms of Service and the core values of the company. We regard violations of hate speech policies with utmost seriousness, and we reserve extensive discretion in taking action against any users or content that breach this policy.
