One document, two account types. Sections 1โ€“4 apply to everyone. Section 5โ€“6 are for Personal Accounts. Sections 7โ€“9 are for Brand Accounts. Sections 10โ€“12 apply to everyone and explain what happens when rules are broken.

Cop or Drop is built on respect. The community thrives when people feel safe to express themselves. The following behaviours are strictly prohibited for all account types.

๐Ÿšซ
Hate Speech & DiscriminationAny content targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or nationality is grounds for immediate suspension.
๐Ÿšซ

๐Ÿšซ

โš ๏ธ

โš ๏ธ
ImpersonationCreating an account that impersonates another person, brand, or public figure is prohibited.
โš ๏ธ
Off-Topic ContentCop or Drop is fashion-only. All posts must feature clothing, accessories, or styling. Off-topic content will be removed without notice.

3. Content Rules

All content posted on the platform โ€” photos, comments, messages, and profile information โ€” must comply with the following.

๐Ÿ“ธ
Original or Licensed Content OnlyYou must own or have the rights to any image you post. Do not post photos of other people without their consent.
๐Ÿค–
No AI-Generated Outfit PhotosAll outfit posts must feature real clothing on a real person. AI-generated or digitally fabricated fashion images are not permitted.
๐ŸŒ
Fashion Content VerificationAll posts are reviewed by our AI moderation system. Posts deemed non-fashion will be rejected at the point of upload.
๐Ÿ’ฌ
Comment StandardsComments must be constructive. Slurs, insults, and targeted abuse in comments will be removed and may result in account action.
โš ๏ธ Our AI scans every post before it goes live. If your post is flagged as non-fashion, it won't be published. Repeated attempts to bypass moderation will be treated as a violation.

4. Privacy & Data

๐Ÿ”’
Data We CollectWe store your email, username, profile details, posts, votes, and messages to operate the platform. We do not sell your data to third parties.
๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ
Account DeletionYou may delete your account at any time from your profile settings. All personal data will be permanently removed within 30 days.
๐Ÿ“ง
CommunicationsBy signing up you agree to receive essential platform communications. You will not receive marketing emails without explicit opt-in.

5. Personal Account Rules

Personal accounts are for individual fashion enthusiasts. Your presence on the platform shapes the community for everyone.

๐Ÿ‘—
Post AuthenticallyOnly post outfits you have genuinely worn or styled. Fabricating fits or misrepresenting your style undermines the community's purpose.
๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ
Vote HonestlyVote based on your genuine opinion. Vote manipulation โ€” creating alt accounts, coordinating mass votes โ€” is a bannable offence.
๐Ÿ’—
Engage RespectfullyComments should be constructive fashion feedback. Personal attacks, body shaming, or bullying in any form is strictly prohibited.
๐Ÿšซ
One Account Per PersonCreating multiple personal accounts to evade bans or inflate your stats is prohibited and all accounts involved will be terminated.

6. Style Score & Tiers

Your Style Score is calculated from the community's genuine votes on your posts. It directly determines your tier. Manipulating this score is a violation of these Terms and will result in score reductions and potential account termination.

Bronze
50โ€“74% Cop Rate
Starting tier for all new accounts. Build your score through genuine community engagement.
Silver
75โ€“84% Cop Rate
Your style is resonating. Keep posting consistently to maintain your position.
Gold
85โ€“94% Cop Rate
Community-recognised style icon. Your fits set trends on the platform.
Platinum
95%+ Cop Rate
The highest tier. Near-universal community approval. Rare and prestigious.
Tier drops are permanent until earned back. If your cop rate drops below a tier threshold, you will be downgraded. Admins may also manually adjust scores for verified violations.

7. Brand Account Rules

Brand accounts undergo verification before being approved. Approval is not guaranteed and Cop or Drop reserves the right to reject or revoke brand status at any time. The following rules apply to all approved brands.

๐Ÿšซ
No Counterfeit or Fake ProductsSelling, advertising, or claiming affiliation with products that are counterfeit, stolen, or not legitimately yours to sell is grounds for immediate permanent ban and potential legal action.
๐Ÿšซ
No Non-DeliveryOnce a buyer confirms intent to purchase, you are obligated to fulfil or formally cancel. Repeatedly failing to deliver on confirmed orders will result in termination.
๐Ÿ“
Accurate ListingsAll product descriptions, photos, sizes, and prices must be accurate. Misleading listings โ€” including stock photos that don't reflect the actual product โ€” are prohibited.
๐Ÿ’ฌ
Professional CommunicationBrands must respond to buyer enquiries within a reasonable time frame. Harassment or unprofessional conduct toward buyers will result in a strike.
๐Ÿ”„
Keep Listings UpdatedSold-out products must be marked accordingly. Allowing buyers to enquire on unavailable items without updating stock status is considered misleading.
๐Ÿ“‹
Honest Verification DocumentsAll documents submitted during application must be genuine and current. Submitting fraudulent registration documents is an immediate permanent ban.

8. Commerce & Listings

All transactions on Cop or Drop are facilitated through our in-app messaging system. Cop or Drop is not a party to any transaction between brands and buyers and is not liable for disputes arising from them.

๐Ÿ’ธ
Payments Handled Off-PlatformCop or Drop does not process payments. Financial transactions are arranged directly between brand and buyer. Both parties transact at their own risk.
๐Ÿ“ฆ
Order Status UpdatesBrands must update order statuses (Confirmed โ†’ Shipped โ†’ Delivered) promptly. Failure to update statuses within a reasonable timeframe is a community violation.
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Buyer ProtectionsBuyers who experience non-delivery, counterfeit goods, or harassment by a brand are encouraged to submit a report. Confirmed reports result in trust score reductions or account termination.

9. Trust Score

Every brand starts with a Trust Score of 100. This score reflects the community's confidence in your brand and is visible on your storefront. Confirmed violations reduce this score permanently.
