Platform Rules

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use LeaderLens. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

Prohibited Content

You may not use LeaderLens to submit false, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or legally actionable content. Ratings must be based on genuine workplace experience and must not include profanity, hate speech, threats, or personal attacks beyond the scope of professional evaluation.

No Impersonation

You may not impersonate another person, fabricate an identity, or misrepresent your employment relationship with any rated leader or organization.

Acceptable Behavior

Honest Ratings

All ratings must reflect your genuine, firsthand workplace experience with the leader in question. Do not submit ratings based on hearsay, secondhand accounts, or fabricated experiences.

One Rating Per Relationship

You may submit only one rating per leader with whom you have a direct reporting or peer relationship. Multiple ratings for the same leader from a single account are not permitted.

No Coercion

You may not coerce, incentivize, or pressure others to submit ratings — positive or negative — on your behalf or on behalf of any leader or organization.

No Data Scraping

Automated access, data scraping, bot usage, or systematic collection of platform content without written permission is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

Limitations of Liability

No Warranty

LeaderLens is provided 'as is' without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any rating, score, or insight displayed on the platform.

Use at Your Own Risk

Decisions made based on ratings or leader profiles on LeaderLens are at your sole discretion and risk. We are not liable for employment decisions, business outcomes, or personal disputes arising from platform use.

Service Interruptions

We are not liable for temporary service interruptions, data loss, or technical failures beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to internet outages, hosting failures, or force majeure events.

Cap on Damages

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LeaderLens' total liability for any claim arising from your use of the platform shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100 if you are a free user.

Moderation Rights

Content Review

LeaderLens reserves the right to review, edit, or remove any rating, submission, or account that violates these Terms, our community guidelines, or applicable law. We may suspend or terminate accounts without prior notice for serious or repeated violations.

Fraud Detection

We employ automated and manual fraud detection systems to identify suspicious patterns such as coordinated fake ratings, bot submissions, or repeated ratings from the same source. Flagged content may be quarantined for review.

No Obligation to Monitor

While we moderate actively, we are not obligated to pre-screen all content. We do not guarantee that every violation will be detected or acted upon immediately.

Appeals

If your content is removed or your account is restricted, you may submit an appeal to support@leaderlens.app within 14 days. We will review appeals in good faith and respond within a reasonable timeframe.
