Conduct & ProfessionalismTo protect the brand and maintain a positive community:
- SSG reserves the right to close affiliate accounts without prior notice in cases of unprofessional behaviour or brand misrepresentation.
- All content, discussions, and materials shared in team chats or affiliate support groups are confidential and must not be screenshotted, copied, or shared outside of the group.
- Affiliates must not copy and paste content created by others, even with minor edits (e.g., emojis). Be inspired, but ensure your content is original.
- Any 'real' photos shared within the group must be edited or watermarked before public use. If unsure how to do this, please ask your upline or in the team chat.
