A safe, respectful marketplace.
These Community Guidelines apply to every person who uses the Orygoō platform. They apply on the Platform, in-person during bookings, and in any communication arising from a Platform interaction. These Guidelines are incorporated into Orygoō's Terms & Conditions and form part of your binding agreement with Orygoō.
Section 1 — Our Values
- Safety: Every interaction — online and in person — must be physically and emotionally safe for all parties.
- Respect: Dignity, courtesy, and professionalism are expected in every exchange on or arising from the Platform.
- Honesty: Reviews, listings, profiles, and communications must be truthful. No deception, manipulation, or misrepresentation.
- Accountability: Actions have consequences. Orygoō will act when these Guidelines are breached.
Section 2 — Standards for Everyone
