ZAP Community Guidelines

At ZAP, we are all about empowering small businesses and creating meaningful connections between merchants and consumers. To ensure a positive and engaging experience for everyone, we have set some basic guidelines for our community. By using ZAP, you agree to uphold these principles.

1. Respect the Community
We are here to build up small businesses, not tear anyone down. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or any form of abusive behavior will not be tolerated. Treat merchants, shoppers, and fellow users with respect.

2. Authenticity Matters
Be real. No fake businesses, misleading promotions, or deceptive practices. Consumers should engage genuinely, and merchants should honor their Promotions. Transparency and trust make ZAP work for everyone.

3. Keep It Local & Relevant
ZAP is designed for real-world engagement. Merchants should focus on local promotions and experiences, and consumers should use the platform for genuine interactions. Irrelevant or spammy content will be removed.

4. No Gaming the System
Merchants and consumers should not attempt to manipulate engagement, reviews, or promotions unfairly. Creating fake accounts, posting fraudulent Promotions, or exploiting the platform in any way will result in removal.

5. Safe & Inclusive Spaces
ZAP is for everyone. Merchants and consumers should create an inclusive environment where all feel welcome, regardless of background, identity, or preferences.

6. Honor Your Commitments
If you claim a Promotion, use it. If you post a Promotion, stand by it. Keeping promises builds trust within the ZAP community and ensures a great experience for all.

7. Compliance with Laws
All users must follow local laws and regulations when using ZAP. Businesses should ensure their promotions comply with applicable rules, and consumers should use the platform responsibly.

8. Feedback is Welcome
We are always evolving and value your input. If you have suggestions, concerns, or ideas, let us know—ZAP thrives because of its community.

Breaking the Rules
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in warnings, suspension, or removal from the platform at the sole discretion of ZAP. We want ZAP to be a game-changer for small businesses and consumers alike, and that starts with a community that plays fair and respects its members.

Let’s build something great together!
