HerKind Community Standards

HerKind is a curated community for ambitious women who value intimacy, integrity, and elevation.
To protect the energy of this space, all members agree to the following standards:

Code of Conduct, Rules of Engagement, and No-Fault Disclaimer.

1. Code of Conduct

HerKind is built on emotional safety, trust, and mutual respect. The following principles guide how we show up for ourselves and each other:

We honor emotional safety.
All members deserve to feel seen, respected, and protected. Disrespect, manipulation, gaslighting, or boundary-crossing will not be tolerated.

We move with integrity.
Show up as your full self—with honesty, accountability, and care. If you commit to something, follow through. If you cannot, communicate with respect.

We do not tolerate harmful behavior.

Immediate removal may result from, but is not limited to:

• Sexual or drug solicitation

• Harassment, bullying, or intimidation

• Hate speech or discriminatory language

• Spam, unsolicited promotion, or misuse of the space

• Breaches of confidentiality or member privacy

We respect the space and the people in it.
Be mindful of tone, language, and timing. This is an intentionally curated community, not a free-for-all.

We thrive on reciprocity.
This is a give-and-receive community. Listen, engage, support, and celebrate with intention. Take up space, and also make room for others.

Membership in HerKind is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to remove any member to protect the safety and experience of the community.

2. Rules of Engagement

To keep our chats, events, and community spaces clear and high-quality, all members agree to the following etiquette:

1. No spamming or repeated promotions.
You may share your event, offer, product, or opportunity once in the appropriate space.
After that, let the community explore on their own.
Violations may result in immediate removal.

2. Move personal back-and-forth to private messages.
If a conversation becomes 1:1 (logistics, planning, side chatter, or long back-and-forth), please move it to DMs.
Use decorum and kindness.

3. Honor questions and conversations before changing the subject.
If someone asks a question or opens a thoughtful thread, allow space for responses before shifting topics.
We value depth over noise.

4. No “I’m on the way” or ETA updates in group chats.
Please do not use the group to share that you’re running late, on the way, looking for parking, etc.
Send logistical updates via private message.

5. Respect moderators and leadership decisions.
Moderators are here to protect the experience, not to police personalities.
They may mute, delete messages, or remove members at their discretion to uphold these standards.

Repeated or serious violations of these Rules of Engagement may result in removal from one or all HerKind spaces without prior warning.

3. HerKind No-Fault Legal Disclaimer

HerKind offers curated spaces for connection, information, and opportunity.
All posts—including employment, event, service, collaboration, volunteer, business, and paid or unpaid opportunities—are shared solely for informational purposes and are not reviewed, verified, or formally endorsed by HerKind, its founders, or its administrators.
Members engage at their own discretion.

If you choose to pursue an opportunity, provide services, collaborate, share resources, hire or be hired, or enter into any business, contractual, or financial arrangement as a result of activity in this community, you do so voluntarily and with personal responsibility.
HerKind:

• Does not guarantee payment, reimbursement, legitimacy, fulfillment of commitments, or successful outcomes.

• Is unable to intervene in matters of non-payment, contractual breaches, personal conflicts, or disputed agreements between members or third parties.

HerKind, its founders, and administrators shall not be held liable for any misunderstandings, disputes, losses, grievances, or damages resulting from interactions, agreements, services, or transactions that arise inside or outside the community spaces.

We strongly encourage all members to:

• Conduct their own due diligence

• Get expectations and agreements in writing

• Clarify payment, reimbursement, timelines, and deliverables in advance

• Enter arrangements with clarity, discernment, and care

4. Acknowledgment & Updates

By joining or participating in any HerKind chat, digital space, or in-person experience, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to:

• The HerKind Code of Conduct

• The HerKind Rules of Engagement

• The HerKind No-Fault Legal Disclaimer

HerKind reserves the right to update these standards at any time.

Violations may result in immediate removal from one or all HerKind spaces at the discretion of the leadership team.
