1. Publicly sharing private information

To maintain the integrity and authenticity of HiKinjo our members can only share private contact information once an offer is accepted via private messages. 

To protect your security, private contact information or third-party links, are not allowed to be shared in public areas of the website, including comments and attachments. This includes, but is not limited to, corporate websites, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, personal email, phone number, address or personal website. 

2. What are unacceptable behaviours on HiKinjo?

We encourage neighbours to have conversations about the issues that matter to them in a way that is constructive, and civil, and builds community.  This is not always easy because we care passionately about the places we call home – our neighbourhoods. At HiKinjo, we do not tolerate these negative behaviours, and this may result in your content being removed and/or your account being suspended. 

2.1 Hatred or violence: Comments or actions that promote hatred or violence against specific groups of people, including any representatives of HiKinjo, will not be tolerated. Racist content or behaviour to incite racism is also not permitted. 

2.2 Discrimination: Comments that are derogatory towards any members of the community, or contain vulgarities used in the context of a personal attack/insult, will not be tolerated. We are committed to removing any content (posts, comments, profile photos) or racist behaviour that violates this policy. Furthermore, neighbours repeatedly engaging in this behaviour will be subject to temporary or permanent removal from HiKinjo. 

• HiKinjo will not accept any sort of discrimination against, threaten, or insult individuals or groups based on race, colour, ethnicity, immigration status, national origin, religion or faith, sex or gender identity, sexual orientation, housing status, disability, or medical condition. Use negative stereotypes, caricatures, or generalizations about a group of individuals. This includes the use of insulting imagery or memes. 

LGBTQIA+ equality 

LGBTQIA+ stands as an acronym for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual community. Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and any other mistreatment, aggression or unkindness shown to people on the basis of their gender and/or sexual orientation is expressly prohibited on HiKinjo.  LGBTQIA+ issues have a place in neighbourhoods everywhere -- that’s why we allow content discussing or celebrating LGBTQIA+ matters anywhere on HiKinjo as long as it adheres to our Community Guidelines.  

2.3 Harassment 

Actions or comments that may cause distress or jeopardize other members of the community are not allowed. This may include persistent disturbance, torment, intimidation or communication aimed at influencing other members' offers, all of which are strictly not allowed. 

2.4 Illegal Behaviour  

HiKinjo has a zero-tolerance policy for any illegal behaviour, including theft, vandalism and any unlawful activity such as the use of drugs or weapons. Show or elicit support for hate groups or people promoting hateful activities will not be tolerated.

Tasks and comments that are deemed to be trolling or inappropriate are prohibited. Comments that are considered to be off-topic or inflammatory in nature to invoke other members of the community are also not allowed. 

2.6 No alcohol/smoking-based Tasks 

Alcohol/smoking-related tasks regarding the supply or sale of alcohol/ cigarettes/ any form of electronic cigarettes are strictly prohibited on HiKinjo. You should not make an offer on tasks that request for any alcoholic beverage to be sold or delivered to the Poster from any location. This includes tasks that ask for delivery of online purchased alcohol/cigarettes, purchases from liquor stores on someone’s behalf or purchases of alcohol/cigarettes outside of stores. 

• Example 1: Sam posts a task to have a bottle of spirits delivered to him. There are no liquor stores nearby, but Helena has vodka in her cupboard so she posts a comment telling Sam that he could buy that from her instead. Hellen’s comment and the task are unsupported and HiKinjo holds the authority to remove them. 

Real Identity: 

HiKinjo’s Agreement requires that every neighbour uses their full, real name when signing up on HiKinjo. By real name, we mean the first name that you use when introducing yourself to neighbours, friends, and colleagues and your legal last name. It Is acceptable by HiKinjo to use a nickname, initials, or shortened version of your name as the first name on your account, as long as it’s the name you are known by in the community and not an attempt to obscure your real first name. HiKinjo aims to provide a safe environment thus requiring that all neighbours verify their address and phone number. If you are a verified person, there will be a tick sign shown on the display picture. Verified users will have certain advantages available.   

3. 3. Fraudulent HiKinjo reviews

3.1 Trust is crucial on HiKinjo, therefore creating or requesting fraudulent reviews for your HiKinjo profile is not supported. This two-way system holds everyone accountable for their own actions and behaviours. Maintaining our integrity, authenticity, honesty and transparency is critical to our HiKinjo community. 

• Example 1: Roy is new to HiKinjo and believes that having more reviews increases the chance of his offer being accepted on a task. He decides to set up a second fraudulent account and assign himself to fake tasks to leave himself fabricated reviews. The HiKinjo team becomes aware of Roy's behaviour, and he is immediately contacted for breaching Community Guidelines. 
• Example 2: Beth posted a task to have someone install her blinds. Jane was assigned to the task and completed the task as per Beth’s instructions. However, Jane scratched some of the paint off the wall in the process and offered to pay Beth in cash for the damage as long as she left him a good review on HiKinjo. Beth knew this would be breaking the Community Guidelines and advised him he would write an honest and fair review, sharing both positive and negative opinions of his work. Beth was correct in declining Jane’s request to forge a positive review.   

4. 4. HiKinjo’s Payment Account

4.1 Cash payments are not supported on the HiKinjo platform. To ensure that you get paid for a task our stripe/q-wallet system securely holds the task funds until you mark the task as complete. 

4.2 Accurate banking details  

To ensure a seamless transition of funds, please ensure your banking details are up to date in your Payment settings. It's important that your banking details are in your name and belong to you. 

4.3 Do not engage in Harmful Activities: 

Fraudulent content, phishing, or content we deem to be spam is not permitted.

5. Accountability and your reputation

You remain accountable for both your behaviour on the HiKinjo platform and the provision and outcome of each task you are assigned to. Your responsibilities include: 

• 5.1 Fulfilment of task requirements 
  Providers are expected to provide the services as agreed with the Poster. 
• 5.2 Managing other Taskers involved 

The Provider assigned to the task is responsible for the actions of any Providers they arrange to assist them in providing the services agreed with the Poster. If the provider assigned chooses to subcontract others to perform the services agreed with the Poster, the Provider must gain the Poster’s consent. The Provider assigned to the task must also ensure that all Taskers assisting them have a HiKinjo user account. 
For tasks completed in person, you must attend to check that the task requirements are met even if you requested other Providers to assist with the task. 

• 5.3 The experience you provide for other members 

Providers must not repetitively provide poor experiences for other members of the HiKinjo Community. 
We remind you that where HiKinjo receives reports that you have breached any of these Guidelines, we may take action to remove any content or cancel or suspend your account and/or any task contracts.

HiKinjo reserves the right to request proof of age should this be necessary.

Since your account reflects your reputation in the market and showcases your skills and abilities, any duplicate accounts that attempt to conceal a member's history will be deleted immediately. This means that all content posted by additional accounts will be removed and any associated task contracts will be cancelled. 

7. 7. Account administration

Members should make sure that at all times they follow the below: 

7.1 No account transfers 

Your account is your responsibility and you must maintain control of it. It must not be transferred to another person as your account and reviews reflect your skills and abilities. This is crucial in enabling other members to make informed decisions about working with you. This also helps to maintain the integrity, transparency and authenticity of our community. 

7.2 No duplicate accounts 

Members may only have a single, active account on the platform. As your account reflects your reputation in the marketplace and represents your skills and abilities, any duplicate accounts attempting to disguise a member's history will be removed immediately. 

A single account allows you to post tasks as a Poster and make offers as a Provider. If you're looking to switch between being a Poster and a Provider, you do not need to create a second account. 

7.3 Cooperating with other members of the HiKinjo Community and HiKinjo’s Staff. 

Where members of the HiKinjo Community or HiKinjo Staff request information, both Posters and Providers are required to respond within a reasonable time frame. This is aligned with the building blocks of mutual respect and is required to maintain a courteous and constructive conversation.

HiKinjo is committed to building a community platform that is a positive and safe environment for all. This commitment is grounded in the principles of transparency and respect. To help foster trust in the community, all members are requested to have a profile photo (if not comfortable can leave it) and name that accurately identifies them. 

Fake/ miscellaneous photos & names are not permitted on the HiKinjo platform. Members who do not have an accurate profile photo or name that meets HiKinjo standards will be asked to change their details. 

HiKinjo profile standards 

• 8.1 Name 

Your real name is confirmed by your identification documents (passport, driver's licence etc.). 

• 8.2 Profile photo

Are there any task posting guidelines? 

The marketplace helps you get more done. To create a safe, respectful and nurturing environment, we need you to follow the guidelines below: 

1. Tasks must be legal

To ensure a safe and secure experience for all our members, all tasks posted must be legal. Soliciting, inducing or encouraging illegal acts are strictly prohibited. Scams are also not tolerated on HiKinjo and will be removed. 

2. Prohibited items list

Tasks must not relate to weapons or unlawful activity, which may result in the furtherance of a crime. Any requests for drugs, including prescription drugs or drug-injecting equipment, are prohibited. Not only may these activities have serious legal ramifications, but they are also against the spirit and values of HiKinjo. 

3. No escort or adult services

Escort and adult services tasks are strictly prohibited on HiKinjo. This includes tasks or comments which are obscene or sexually explicit in nature. Posting Massage tasks is also not supported. 

4. No cash-based task

Tasks that ask someone to withdraw cash, buy gift cards or vouchers, buy any type of currency including cryptocurrency, or send money via methods such as direct bank transfer or PayPal or any transaction of a similar nature to any of the above are strictly prohibited. 

5. Clear scope, time and budget required

To help get your tasks completed, it’s important that your task has a clear scope, time and budget. 

• Scope: The task description should clearly state and detail what you need to do. Adding as much information as possible helps the Provider understand expectations. 
• Time: Does the task need to be completed on a specific day or can it be flexible with the Provider? If specific, mention it in the task description. 
• Budget: Setting a fair price for the amount of time and effort required for the task is crucial. HiKinjo does not endorse low pricing of tasks and a task may be moderated if found to be. 

These help Providers to know whether they have the skills and availability to complete your task. It will also help avoid any misunderstandings about expectations along the way. 

6. Task-based posts

The HiKinjo marketplace is a task-based platform that encourages you to outsource all the weird and quirky things you might need to get done on any given day. However, there are a few types of tasks that are not supported to maintain the integrity of the platform.  

Tasks that are deceitful in nature are not allowed. This includes but is not limited to requesting fake business reviews, social media likes and follows. 

• Example 1: Sasha posted a task asking Taskers to leave 5-star reviews on her company's website and the application. Sasha's task can be immediately cancelled by HiKinjo if found or reported by anyone using the platform. She was told that her task did not meet community guidelines. 

Academic activities and homework-based tasks are strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, completing an assignment, test, or class on behalf of someone. In addition, learning support in the form of proofreading, editing, planning, structuring, referencing, and feedback on the learning work of others is also not supported. 

• Example 2: Carol posted a task requesting a Provider to proofread her assignment, a 1,000-word essay on one of her Uni/school assignments. Carol was contacted shortly after posting her task and advised the post had been cancelled, as it was a proofreading task and therefore not supported on HiKinjo. HiKinjo holds all the authority to cancel such tasks if reported by anyone.  

We also don’t allow tasks that request quotes for work to be done outside of Hiking. 

• Example 3: Ben posted a minimum-priced task asking for a Provider to come to his home and give him a quote to paint his 4-bedroom house. The task was cancelled by HiKinjo because it was asking for a quote and not for someone to actually paint the house. In such a situation HiKinjo’s platform provides consultancy fees wherein the Provider can upload his charges and proceed with his task.  

Tasks that require someone to be nude, topless or wear clothing like lingerie, swimwear and gym wear are not supported. 

• Example 4: Jimmy posted a task looking for a Provider to model for a bikini photoshoot. The task was cancelled as the Provider would be required to wear a bikini. 

Tasks that involve investigating or gathering information about a person or business without their knowledge and consent will not be supported. Debt collection tasks are also not supported. 

7. Advertisement

We support businesses outsourcing tasks on HiKinjo to help their business grow.  HiKinjo, can be used as a platform for business advertisements, for a job board and posting permanent job ads. HiKinjo can be used as a platform for any requests to be employed.  

Example 1: Jon posted a task asking for a part-time or full-time job as a builder. The task was supported by HiKinjo as job requests are supported in the HiKinjo marketplace. Example 2: Aman owns a driving school and posted an ask looking for full-time driving instructors, with an hourly rate. Aman’s task was supported as it was considered a business advertisement in the HiKinjo marketplace.  

8. No alcohol/cigarettes/tobacco bases products- related Tasks

• Barter or exchange 
• Offer, agree or attempt to sell 
• Expose, send, forward or deliver for sale 
• Cause or permit to be sold or offered for sale. 

The supply of alcohol includes disposal of or delivery. 

For further clarification, please see the examples of prohibited tasks below. 

• Example 1: Lina posted a task for someone to buy and deliver beer from a liquor store. The task was removed because it requested a Provider to buy and supply alcohol to a Poster, which is not supported. 
• Example 2: After a long day at work, Connor posts a task for someone to bring him a bottle of wine. He says he would be happy to purchase a bottle that a Provider already has at their home. Connor’s task is not supported so was removed by HiKinjo because it requested the sale and supply of alcohol.
