Community Guidelines

Korlow is a sports-focused platform designed to help athletes and members of the sports ecosystem build relationships, share their journeys, discover opportunities, and advance their careers.

These Community Guidelines apply to everyone who uses Korlow.

By using Korlow, you agree to follow these Guidelines as well as Korlow's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Respect the Community

Treat other people with respect.

Korlow does not permit harassment, bullying, intimidation, threats, stalking, or targeted abuse.

Do not attack or demean someone based on personal characteristics, background, identity, athletic ability, career status, appearance, or other protected characteristics.

Disagreements are allowed. Abuse is not.

2. Protect Athletes and Young People

Korlow includes athletes who may be under 18.

Everyone using Korlow must interact with young athletes appropriately and professionally.

You must not:

• sexually exploit, groom, solicit, or sexualize a minor;
• request or distribute sexual or intimate images involving a minor;
• attempt to move a young person into an inappropriate or exploitative relationship;
• use recruiting, coaching, representation, sponsorship, employment, medical, media, or other professional opportunities to pressure or exploit a young person;
• misrepresent your identity, authority, organization, credentials, or intentions when interacting with an athlete;
• encourage a minor to conceal inappropriate communications or relationships from a parent, guardian, organization, or appropriate authority.

Korlow may restrict communication or other functionality based on age, account type, relationship status, safety controls, or applicable law.

Attempts to bypass those protections are prohibited.

3. Professional Communication and Recruiting

Korlow connects athletes with coaches, scouts, recruiters, agents, organizations, brands, sponsors, medical and performance professionals, media professionals, and other members of the sports ecosystem.

Professional outreach must be legitimate and relevant.

Do not:

• send deceptive recruiting or representation offers;
• falsely claim to represent a team, league, school, organization, agency, business, or athlete;
• fabricate scholarships, contracts, sponsorships, trials, roster opportunities, employment, or other opportunities;
• pressure someone into accepting an opportunity;
• repeatedly contact someone who has rejected or closed an inquiry;
• circumvent Korlow's Connect, inquiry, messaging, blocking, or communication controls.

Acceptance of a connection or inquiry does not create an employment, agency, scholarship, sponsorship, representation, or other contractual relationship.

Users are responsible for independently evaluating opportunities and people they meet through Korlow.

4. Authentic Identity and Credentials

Use Korlow honestly.

Do not impersonate another person or organization.

Do not intentionally provide materially false information about your:

• identity;
• age;
• athletic history;
• team or organizational affiliation;
• statistics or accomplishments;
• coaching or recruiting authority;
• professional qualifications;
• representation rights;
• medical or performance credentials;
• business affiliation; or
• verification status.

Parody or clearly non-deceptive content must not be used to mislead people about who you are.

5. Athletic Profiles, Statistics, and Career Information

Athletes may use Korlow to document seasons, statistics, highlights, affiliations, accomplishments, recruiting information, and career history.

Do not knowingly fabricate athletic achievements, statistics, affiliations, awards, rankings, contracts, scholarships, or credentials.

Corrections and legitimate updates to career information are allowed.

6. Content You Share

You are responsible for content you upload, publish, send, or otherwise share through Korlow.

Only share content you have the right to use.

Do not upload or distribute:

• unlawful content;
• non-consensual intimate imagery;
• child sexual abuse or exploitation material;
• credible threats of violence;
• content encouraging serious self-harm;
• content that unlawfully reveals another person's sensitive personal information;
• malicious software;
• fraudulent or deceptive material;
• content that infringes intellectual property rights; or
• material intended to exploit, scam, or seriously harm another person.

Sports footage involving teammates, opponents, spectators, coaches, or organizations should be shared responsibly and consistently with applicable rights, policies, and laws.

7. Sexual Content and Exploitation

Korlow is a professional sports platform.

Sexual exploitation, sexual solicitation, non-consensual sexual content, and sexually predatory behavior are prohibited.

Any sexual exploitation or sexualization involving minors is strictly prohibited.

8. Harassment, Threats, and Violence

Do not threaten, harass, stalk, intimidate, or encourage violence against another person.

Content depicting sports contact or legitimate athletic competition is not prohibited merely because the sport involves physical contact.

However, credible threats, glorification of targeted violence, or attempts to organize real-world harm may be removed and may result in account restrictions.

9. Hate and Discrimination

Do not promote hatred, dehumanization, exclusion, or violence against people based on protected characteristics.

Korlow may remove hateful content and restrict accounts engaged in hateful conduct.

Legitimate discussion of discrimination, sports policy, history, news, or personal experiences is permitted when it does not itself promote prohibited hatred or abuse.

10. Privacy and Personal Information

Respect other people's privacy.

Do not publish another person's highly sensitive or private information without authorization, including information that could create a meaningful risk of physical, financial, or personal harm.

Do not attempt to obtain private contact information by circumventing Korlow's access controls.

If Korlow provides a controlled contact-sharing feature, use that information only for legitimate purposes connected to the reason access was granted.

11. Messaging, Media, and View Once Content

Korlow may provide private messaging, media sharing, voice messages, and limited-view media features.

The existence of a private communication feature does not permit abusive or illegal conduct.

Do not use private messaging to:

• harass or threaten;
• sexually exploit another person;
• distribute illegal content;
• conduct scams;
• evade a block;
• circumvent professional inquiry requirements; or
• pressure someone into sharing personal information or media.

Content designated as temporary or limited-view should be treated with the privacy expectations associated with that feature.

12. Blocking and Circumvention

Users may block other accounts.

If someone blocks you, do not attempt to circumvent that decision through:

• another Korlow account;
• another person's account;
• repeated connection or inquiry attempts;
• alternate communication surfaces within Korlow; or
• coordinated harassment.

Korlow may restrict accounts that attempt to evade blocks or other safety controls.

13. Reports

Users can report profiles, posts, conversations, or other activity that they believe violates Korlow's rules.

Submit reports in good faith.

Do not intentionally submit false reports to harass, retaliate against, or silence another user.

Reporting something does not guarantee a particular enforcement outcome.

14. Scams, Fraud, and Financial Abuse

Do not use Korlow to scam, defraud, deceive, or financially exploit another person.

Examples include:

• fake sponsorships;
• fake recruiting opportunities;
• fraudulent representation offers;
• fabricated fees;
• impersonation;
• phishing;
• payment fraud;
• deceptive investment or business opportunities; and
• requests for money based on intentionally false claims.

Be cautious when financial transactions or contractual opportunities originate from someone you have only met online.

15. Spam and Platform Manipulation

Do not:

• send repetitive unsolicited messages;
• mass-create deceptive accounts;
• artificially manipulate follows, engagement, referrals, or other platform metrics;
• use automated systems in ways Korlow has not authorized;
• scrape protected information;
• interfere with Korlow's systems; or
• attempt to bypass access, subscription, safety, moderation, or security controls.

16. Commercial Activity

Brands, sponsors, businesses, agents, organizations, media professionals, and other commercial users must accurately represent themselves and their offers.

Commercial activity must comply with applicable advertising, consumer-protection, endorsement, sponsorship, competition, and disclosure requirements.

Paid or sponsored relationships should be disclosed when required by law.

17. Medical and Performance Information

Korlow may include medical, health, rehabilitation, training, or performance professionals.

Users must not falsely claim professional qualifications or credentials.

Information shared through Korlow should not be treated as emergency medical care.

Professionals are responsible for complying with the laws, professional standards, privacy requirements, and licensing obligations applicable to their work.

18. Dangerous or Illegal Activity

Do not use Korlow to organize, facilitate, promote, or solicit serious illegal activity.

Content documenting legitimate sports, training, newsworthy events, education, or public-interest matters may be permitted when it does not facilitate prohibited conduct.

19. Account and Safety Enforcement

Korlow may take action when these Guidelines, the Terms of Service, applicable law, or platform safety requirements are violated.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:

• limiting content visibility;
• removing content;
• restricting messaging or other features;
• preventing interactions between accounts;
• requiring additional verification;
• suspending an account;
• terminating an account; or
• preserving or disclosing information when legally required or reasonably necessary for safety.

Severe violations may result in immediate action.

Korlow may also act against attempts to evade previous enforcement.

20. Emergencies and Law Enforcement

Korlow is not an emergency service.

If someone is in immediate danger, users should contact the appropriate local emergency services.

Korlow may preserve, review, or disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to address credible threats, exploitation, abuse, or serious safety concerns, subject to applicable law.

21. Appeals and Questions

Korlow may provide mechanisms to request review of certain moderation or account decisions.

Questions regarding these Community Guidelines or enforcement may be directed through Korlow's designated support or legal contact channels once published.
