COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

All community members — whether posting on Instagram, submitting work, or engaging with briefs — agree to:

• Treat fellow designers, students, and clients with respect, regardless of skill level or background
• Provide constructive, honest feedback when invited to comment on others' work
• Represent their own work authentically — do not pass off AI-generated or others' work as your own without disclosure
• Use the platform for its intended purpose: design practice, community, and professional development

The following content will be removed and may result in removal from the community:

• Hate speech, discrimination, or harassment based on race, gender, nationality, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic
• Spam, self-promotion unrelated to a brief response, or commercial solicitation without permission
• Plagiarism — submitting another designer's work as your own
• Content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
• Offensive, sexually explicit, or violent imagery

When you submit design work in response to a BRANDBRIEF™ Weekly Brief (by tagging with the required hashtag or sharing publicly):

• You confirm that the work is your own original creation (or clearly credited collaboration)
• You grant BRANDBRIEF™ a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to share, display, or feature your submission on its Instagram, website, and other channels for community promotion
• You retain full copyright in your design work at all times
• You understand that submission does not create a contractual relationship with BRANDBRIEF™ or any Sponsor

BRANDBRIEF™ may share community submissions on its Instagram and website. When we share your work:

• We will always credit the designer (by Instagram handle or name)
• We will not alter or modify your work in a way that misrepresents it
• If you wish a post to be removed, contact us at support@brandbrief.io

BRANDBRIEF™ facilitates creative challenges but is not an intermediary, agent, or employer. Any direct engagement between a designer and a Sponsored Brief client — including paid work, licensing, or employment — is a private arrangement and entirely the responsibility of the parties involved. BRANDBRIEF™ accepts no liability for outcomes of such arrangements.

BRANDBRIEF™ reserves the right to remove content, restrict access, or remove community members who violate these Guidelines, at our sole discretion. We are not obligated to explain individual moderation decisions.
